Three weeks ago Chef Matt Gallaher opened his second Knoxville restaurant, Emilia. Named after his grandmother, Emily Jackson, and sister, Emily Cowan, the new eatery at 16 Market Square comes a mere 3 1/2 years after he debuted Knox Mason at 131 S. Gay Street.
The success he found at the Gay Street eatery has quickly wound its way to his Market Square venue, where guests have discovered a menu unlike the rustic Southern cuisine served at Knox Mason. Instead Gallaher chose to create an Italian-themed restaurant.
