SAVOR…Knoxville Catering and the Knoxville Convention Center's reputation for exceptional banquet services is due in large part to executive chef, Chris Moore, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. Chris’ creativity and passion for fresh ingredients and great flavors bring a unique flair to the food and beverage offerings. Moore’s extensive culinary background includes previous positions as executive chef for Maverick Southern Kitchens, where he developed new menus for the Francis Marion Hotel in Charleston, South Carolina; as a chef for the acclaimed Fog City Diner in San Francisco; and as a chef for celebrity chef Cindy Pawlcyn of the Real Restaurant Group also based in San Francisco.

While living in San Francisco, Chef Moore opened his own restaurant, Rocco’s Seafood Grill, which was acclimated through praise from the San Francisco Chronicle. Before joining the Knoxville Convention Center, Moore served as corporate chef with Pappas Restaurants in Houston followed by his position as corporate executive chef for Stokely Hospitality Enterprises in Sevierville, TN.
