Lezli Lewis Shares Her Gluten-Free Bakery Story and Community Love

Good Neighbor Podcast for the Greater Chattanooga Region

What would you do if you suddenly discovered that your family's health depended on a strict gluten-free diet? Our guest, Lezli Lewis, faced this exact challenge and turned it into an inspiring story of resilience and entrepreneurship. On the Good Neighbor Podcast, Lezli shares her journey from social worker to the heart and soul behind Carving Rock Kitchen, Chattanooga’s dedicated gluten-free bakery. Learn how Lezli tackled the often unspoken issue of gluten cross-contamination in restaurants, creating a safe haven for those with celiac disease and gluten sensitivities.
Community support plays a crucial role in the success of any small business, and Lezli's story is no exception. From an unexpected encounter with a neighbor who provided vital equipment, to the camaraderie among local business owners, the community has been a cornerstone of Carving Rock Kitchen’s journey. Lezli also opens up about her family life, their appreciation for Chattanooga's natural beauty, and the self-care routines that keep them balanced. This episode captures the essence of how local connections can make or break a small business, offering listeners a heartfelt look at the importance of community.
Managing a bakery as a mostly one-woman show is no small feat, but Lezli makes it happen with grace and tenacity. She discusses the unique offerings of Carving Rock Kitchen, from gluten-free peach cobbler to cinnamon rolls, and how she juggles everything from updating the website to sending out newsletters. We also touch on the significance of supporting local businesses in enriching our communities. Don’t forget to nominate your favorite local businesses for future episodes—your recommendations help us celebrate the small enterprises that make our neighborhoods thrive.
