Knoxville got its first taste of food halls in November when Marble City Market opened on the north side of downtown at 333 W. Depot Ave.

But to get a true idea of what food hall developers are planning for Kern's Bakery just south of downtown, you'll have to head further south to Atlanta or Tampa, where the respective Ponce City Market and Armature Works food halls focus on providing experiences beyond the kitchen. 

Visual journalist Calvin Mattheis joins this week's show to talk about the differences between Knoxville's two food halls, including the outdoor event lawn, rooftop bar and full-service concepts planned for Kern's Bakery.
