Knoxville - Best Place for Drinks After Work
On Bearden Hill, near the intersection of Kingston Pike and Northshore , the view is terrific and they have a bar menu of small plates and martini specials - Bravo. Nice patio in good weather - maybe May before we have good weather again.
xmas gift help - great place in East TN?
Town House in Chilhowee (I think that is spelled correctly) is receiving outstanding reviews and it is just about Bristol so not too far and Abingdon - so not too far
Brooklyn bridge marriott area
Will be at Brooklyn Bridge Marriott for a week. Need suggestions for quick lunches and light breakfasts.
Knoxville Farmer's Market - Ice Cream Ice Cream, we all scream for Ice Cream
Wednesday and Saturday, there is a Farmer's Market on Market Square in downtown Knoxville. Cruze Farm brings their freshly churned ice cream. Flavors like buttermilk lemon and Lavender and strawberry. They raise the cows themselves and this ice cream is beyond delicious. Saturday mornings they have biscuits with butter and fresh jam or with eggs and sausage. They use their own buttermilk in the biscuits. Love that buttermilk for baking and drinking.

Brooklyn - one diiner - how do I decide
My scallops at Saul were outstanding. But, the Baked Alaska was too sweet even for me who seldom finds a sweet tea that is too sweet. Wish I had tried one of the other desserts
Brooklyn - one diiner - how do I decide
Decided on Saul. Just watched the Bobby Flay throwdown tonight with Saul and his baked alaska. Dressler was not possible because of my location and time constraints. May try to go to The Grocery for lunch one day also.
Brooklyn - one diiner - how do I decide
Saul, Grocery, Noodle Pudding, Applewood, Broklyn Fare. Which do I choose. I like most everything and price is not a concern for this dinner.

Bistro by the Tracks Knoxville
It's been a long time since Bistro was actually by the tracks but tonight they proved once again that they are not on the wrong side of the tracks. Lovely dinner and exceptional service. 6 of us - so we tried many things.Trout, lamb, grouper, filet - all served perfectly. The warm almost flourless chocolate cake was decadent. The lavender martinis were a taste of spring and summer to come.
Heading up I-75 to Danville; Where to Eat?
On the main street in Danville is a good sandwhich and salad place. Can't remember the name. Also down across from the historic park on the main street is an old fashioned bakery with all sort of baked goods and sandwiches. If you are coming through Knoxville, I recommend Puleo's at either Strawberry Plains exit on I 40 or Merchant's Road exit on I 75N. Wide variety of Italian and southern. Yes, sounds odd but it's a really good place.
Paris 7 Arond. - Rue de la Comete
We like to try new things and are not looking for high end, dress up sorts of places. But somewhere to get lunch or a nice dinner. Would like to be able to walk from the apartment. I suppose $30 to $40 per person for dinner. I'm not sure how prices will be in Paris.
Paris 7 Arond. - Rue de la Comete
I will be staying on this street for several days in late May. I know it is near Eiffel Tower. Any food suggestions or comments would be appreciated.
Brach's Fiesta Eggs (Nashville)
Look for a Food City grocery.They carry many Brach easter and candy products
Vegetarian-ish grub for road trip through Knoxville
Don't know if this is still true, but at one point in time Cracker Barrel cooked its veggies in lard - so that might not be a veggie option.

Vegetarian-ish grub for road trip through Knoxville
puleo's has several locations. One is just off the Interstate at Cedar Bluff and one is at the West Hills exit. Have them make their fried tomatoes and grits but leave off the Tasso Ham gravy. Also they have pasta dishes that would not have meat. It is local and they have about 5 locations. Interesting mix of southern and italian
Knoxville's best?
Wright's has been around forever. I am not a big meat eater so can't comment on all their meats. But their fried chicken is fantastic. They don't serve it on Friday. They do have salmon patties, country ham, baked and or fried fish, meat loaf. But I go for the chicken and the veggies and their homemade rolls. love their deviled eggs, fried okra, green beans, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes. Their pies are homemade and so is their banana pudding. Open for dinner on Thursday and not open on the weekends. I have tried Big Fatties and been disappointed every time.
Nashville Eats.. A 5 day visit to Nashville from an LA Chowhounder's perspective..
Are you sure the hush puppies were made from mashed potatoes? Never heard of that. They are made from corn meal, usually with a bit of chopped onion, and liquid,usually milk. The batter is thick and dropped in the hot oil. Just wondering if there is something new in hushpuppies? Thanks.
(Northerner Needs Tips) Knoxville v Ole Miss Nov 12-14
Litton's does have beer and wine. You just need to ask for it. Wine isn't all that good at Littons/ For a real barbecue experience, head West on middlebrook and look for M and M barbecue. They cook outside in the parking lot. No tables. Just eat beside your car or take it with you. Have several sides and usually do a fish fry on the weekends. Not open on Sunday. I have family in NYC and they love to go to Puleo's. There are 4 locations in the Knoxville area. Long's drugstore on Kingston Pike in the Bearden area is a Saturday morning breakfast place. It is a Drug store with an old fashioned soda fountain area. Pancakes, eggs, etc. Love their pimento cheese sandwiches. Downtown on Gay Street or around the corner on Market Square are pubs and breweries where people will be watching games. My favorite Southern lunch places are not open on Saturday or Sunday. Enjoy your trip, ya'll
UT Football game and a dinner
S and W is downtown. Many years ago was a cafeteria. Was closed for years. Recently reopened as an upscale restaurant. Have heard good things about it. Also Bistro at the Bijou is downtown on Gay Street. Smallish and will probably be packed. Chez Liberte on Kingston Pike in Bearden is new and good, also expensive. Everything is packed after a football game. Puleo's is also on Morrell Road across from West Town Mall. All their locations are excellent. Copper Cellar/Cappucion's on Kingston Pike near West Town Mall can handle 12. Good Luck.
Nashville-Renaissance Hotel-Great Food nearby
We ended up at MidTown in part because they provided transportation to and from the hotel. Really enjoyed our meals and the overall experience.
Nashville-Renaissance Hotel-Great Food nearby
Would like recs for really good places to eat that are less than 5 miles from the Renaissance. If that is not possible, then less than 10 miles. Thanks.
Fish and Co Louis O"Steen Nashville
Bill, let me know how it was the second time. I hope to be there in mid October. I practically cried when his place at Pawleys Island closed.
Night Owl Cafe Knoxville TN
Finally made it to the Night Owl. Sorry it took me so long to get there. Delicious. Fresh, homemade. Tiny place. Bring your own wine. Highly recommend it
Fish and Co Louis O"Steen Nashville
I know it just opened, but any word on Fish and Co and the connection to Louis.
Shaker Village near Harrodsburg
I'll be driving from Knoxville to Shaker Village soon. Any good chow ideas on places to eat? Thanks
Coolato Gelato Knoxville
Had a lovely light supper on the back deck last night before going to the movie with a group of friends. Almost felt like we were in Italy. Menu is just right and gelato is Oh so good!
Great Steak Dinner in Knoxville?
For a casual atmosphere, great desserts and local flavor, try a steak at Litton's. They do more than just hamburgers
Wine Shops in Myrtle Beach
Kudzu, which is directly behind the Piggly Wiggly on Hwy 17 across from the entrance to Litchfied by the Sea, has some nice wines. Also gourmet take home foods.
Chez Liberte Bearden Area Knoxville
Had lunch there yesterday with a small group. Only had the salad but also had the bread problem. The grilled pitas did work with the salad but definitely wouldn't work with a cheese course. Am going to a wine tasting this afternoon. Must say they have an ambitious menu and hope they can pull it off.
