COOKEVILLE – Chad Huddleston didn’t go to college with the intention of going into business for himself. But where he is now is a way for him to branch out with his creativity – all with food. “It all began when I was attending Maryville College where I worked at a restaurant,” he said. “I loved serving food and the industry as a whole.” His entrepreneurship into the culinary field began in 2009 when he opened Char on the Square. That was built from the ground up from a burned out shell of a building on the corner of Washington and Spring Streets. “I’ll always be proud of what Char is,” he said. A little more than three years later, he acquired the 19th Hole on 10th Street. But he had another vision for the Cookeville restaurant scene, one that came along at the right time. “I’m not a patient person,” he said. “But this just fell perfectly in place.” The proverbial feather in his cap is The Cooke House, which opened earlier this year in the former Maddux Station restaurant space on the square. “I really am proud of what this has become,” he said. “It’s a destination restaurant. I want people to come here and get good food, good service, unique drinks and an environment they will not get anywhere else in Cookeville.” The menu features unique dishes that come out in waves. “You don’t have to stop your conversation to eat a big meal,” he said. “You can also get creative with the dishes.” A lot of the dishes on The Cooke House’s menu features vegan and organic choices, such as the hummus wrap, tuna BLT, chicken salad, duck tacos, bruschetta, tuna crostini and much more. The first part is a cold menu item, then progressively transitions into warmer dishes. “You don’t have to leave here so full you’re sick,” Huddleston explained. “The goal is to start out with light, simple food options and the best thing about it is that it’s in small portions, so people who come in groups can all sample the different dishes that are ordered.” All the sauces are made in house, along with the dish being made fresh to order, which can take some time to do. “We have New Zealand lamb for the lamb lollies,” he said. “It’s quite an impressive dish.” More items are currently being added to the menu. Another element of Huddleston’s vision for The Cooke House to be a “destination restaurant” is the unique cocktail menu. “We make our sour mix in house,” he explained. “We can get creative with drinks, adding fruit, citrus and other flavors. We offer all fresh ingredients and one drink can take three, four or five steps to create.” This was inspired by the different restaurants in Nashville, such as the Patterson House. “Food has always been a passion of mine and I enjoy helping people have a good time,” he said. “With the holidays coming up, people might want to show their guests this unique part of Cookeville.” The Cooke House, located Spring Street in the heart of Cookeville’s downtown, is open Tuesday-Saturday from 11 a.m. to midnight. Call 854-9550 for more information. Huddleston’s ambitions don’t just stop there. He recently acquired another well-known establishment – the South Jefferson bar formerly known as Wooly Bully’s will be re-named the Wooly Clubhouse and is anticipated to open Dec. 1. “There will be the same menu as the 19th Hole and we’ll have live music, trivia, karaoke, and a lot of other good stuff,” he said. “There’s a lot of work to be done there.”
