One19 Craft Kitchen & Brewery upgrades menu, builds on Dickson’s first brewery foundation
The ideas for One19 Craft Kitchen & Brewery started late last year.
Dickson’s Furnace Brewing went up for sale in December and Morgan Kincaid Chandler, along with her father Richard Kincaid and Mark “Uncle Duke” Durant, knew it was too good an opportunity to pass up.
It was a perfect fit, both for the new owners and for Dickson. Chandler said the brewery was a great place to continue to “grow a hospitality and guest-driven business,”
“We all recognized Dickson was a growing community and we wanted to be a part of that growth,” Chandler said.
So, One19 Craft Kitchen & Brewery was born. The name comes from the address, which has been emblazoned on the front gates for several years.
“We have a high passion for providing a real food experience, something Dickson doesn't have much of,” Chandler said.
The One19 food menu is a revolving and evolving blackboard list of burgers, sandwiches, tacos, dips and the “Big Helga,” the popular giant pretzel hung from a metal stand.
Also, on Monday’s they have a popular ‘Italian Takeover” by Louie’s Linguine.
Soon, One19 will have a “beer and craft cocktail program Dickson has never seen,” Chandler said.
‘Sentimental to me’
Chandler grew up in Dickson County. Then in 2006, she moved to Ohio to attend The Ohio State University.
“I had the opportunity to work with two amazing hospitality companies in Ohio for 10 years, one of which was craft beer centric,” Chandler said. “Ohio was deep in the craft microbrewery action and I fell for the up-and-coming industry.
“I actually never accepted any positions in my field of study because I loved the hospitality industry so much. I reconnected with my now husband, who also grew up in Dickson County and decided it was time to reconnect to my roots,” Chandler said.
“When I was ready to move back to Tennessee, I had a friend that was a chef at a new restaurant in Nashville, Skulls Rainbow Room. I helped grow the history-rich jazz club as its general manager for five years,” she added.
When COVID struck, Chandler decided to move back to her hometown of Burns.
“Growing up in Burns and Dickson was extremely sentimental to me," she said.
When Furnace Brewing went up for sale, Chandler’s dad and Uncle Duke came down to see the property.
Uncle Duke has a deep connection in the hops industry along with the micro brewing culture. He and my dad were looking for the perfect opportunity to retire from manufacturing and this was it.”
Chandler said they continue to emphasize the "open patio concept," with a patio in front, deck in back, and garage doors and open space in between. Plans are in place to build a rooftop patio, which will create a three-season patio below.
“A first in downtown, for sure,” she said.
Once those additions are made, the next step is to increase the size of the kitchen to allow more food options.
“One19 is the place for a game on TV, a snack after work, a catch-up chat with friends, lunch with coworkers, and the best gathering for a birthday party,” Chandler said. “One19 is exactly what this community needed.”
