"Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant and Grill has an entire Food Allergen Guide on their website available for download complete with lengthy gluten sensitive, dairy sensitive, egg sensitive, fish/shellfish sensitive and tree nut sensitive menus. Now, if you’re like me you’re thinking – does “sensitive” mean “free”?. There’s a big difference between those two terms for someone with a deadly allergy."

"100% vegan Israeli cuisine at this falafel & hummus bar on Gay Street. Falafel and hummus varieties sum up the majority of their menu, with expected offerings like baba ghanoush and a smorgasbord of add ons from harissa to tahini. The cauliflower is roasted to perfection, and you won’t feel an ounce of guilt at any selection you make."

"My first real job was covering Tennessee for the Chattanooga Times Free Press. What should have been an ideal first job was complicated by the fact that my fiancé—who in 2001 became my wife—was eight hours away in Gainesville, Fla., finishing her undergraduate degree. Her next step was a physician assistant graduate program, and there weren’t any of those in Knoxville."

"Hummus and pretzel bites are other starter options and there’s a decent beer selection to wash it all down. Salads are also stars at the Mellow Mushroom and they’ll fix them up to your specifications, with a plethora of vegetables and plant-friendly options to choose from. Vegetarians will love the Veggie Calzone and customize an awesome pizza pie — vegan for veggie style."

"It may be a national chain, but Mellow Mushroom is arguably the best Pigeon Forge option for vegetarians and gluten-free visitors. Its diverse menu includes meat-free soups and salads, but the pizza is clearly the main attraction. Any Mellow Mushroom specialty pie can be made with a gluten-free crust."

"In a year when I visited the newest venture to occupy the Baker Peters House, it was only fitting to try out the restaurant that’s now in the old Orangery location. Kitchen 919 keeps the upscale cuisine trend alive there, this time via the likes of Alaskan salmon and one of that evening’s specials, a teres major cut of beef with jumbo shrimp. I may be sounding like a broken record, but the dessert selection and next-level service here made it easy for me to elevate this Bearden eatery to my favorite 10 of the year."

"When we found an opportunity to build our new restraunt in the old Orangry building we set out to create an upscale environment. After thinking about it for some time, we thought about the places that make us feel most at home. Places we are comfortable..."

"Landshark Bar and Grill brings you something new, the buffalo sriracha shrimp as an appetizer, or get an old favorite like spinach and artichoke dip. If you are looking for something light and casual, or you can get a burger with your favorite toppings. For something more seafood traditional, try their fish tacos, cajun tuna, or fried shrimp."

"My visit to this Old City chef-centric eatery set the tone for 2019, which wound up taking me to a number of what would generally be considered haute cuisine restaurants. Rebel Kitchen’s evolving menu showcases regional farmers and producers — an approach reflected in superb dishes like Dover sole with fingerling potatoes and spinach as well as the Painted Hills beef hanger steak, which is prepared sous vide style for 24 hours before being immersed in liquid nitrogen and flash-fried before serving. House-made breads and a delicious bowl of lentil soup completed our culinary tour."

"The Wild Plum Tea Room is an amazing place to have lunch in the Arts & Crafts Community. Named one of the top 10 restaurants in the state of Tennessee, this unique cafe features scratch-made food in an idyllic natural setting. Be sure to make reservations at The Wild Plum at least 24 hours in advance."

"The Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame is worth visiting for a few reasons: 1) girl power!. ; 2) it’s home to the world’s largest basketball; 3) the Hall of Fame is a sub-contractor for the Center for Sport, Peace, and Society. The society’s mission is “to use sport to change lives, communities, and the world through teaching, research, and service.” As travelers, how could we not want to support such a mission?"

"The Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame is one of the fun things to do in Knoxville, Tennessee. On its rooftop, you’ll see the biggest basketball in the world, making it easily spotted from far away. It’s a great place to get inspired and a spot in the city that sports lovers shouldn’t miss."

"Just a block away from Market Square and diagonal to the East Tennessee History Center, it’s a great place to start the day with some caffeine and pleasant conversation with your barista. And if you like the neighborhood already, that’s greater than great since you’ll be looping back around to it later in the day."

"On our final morning in Pigeon Forge, we grabbed a pre-ordered lunch from Bullfish Grill and made our way to Metcalf Bottoms. This is a great place to have a picnic, enjoy the views of Little River, and spend some time just exploring the Great Smoky Mountains. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is filled with historic cabins from so long ago. There’s some pretty amazing stories to come from the park including the one about the Walker Sisters."

"Known as one of the best restaurants in Pigeon Forge for seafood, the upscale setting is the perfect place to relax with the one you love. Although the menu is a bit more pricey than most you’ll find in the area, it is well worth it. It is hard for me to narrow down a favorite, but some of the best food I’ve had here is the Bacon and Shrimp Flatbread, Bullfish Strawberry Salad, and Asiago Grilled Salmon."

"Always a winning decision to go here, apps are good (spicy shrimp). Burgers are thick & juicy, pastas are heaping over the bowl, and steaks are cooked just…”more"

"You might be surprised to find an authentic Cajun restaurant in Wears Valley, but Pawpaw's Catfish Kitchen is a great place to sample the flavors of the bayou!.
