"Typically, I eschew franchise eateries in this column, in deference to purely local and regional endeavors.

In fact, The Spouse and I make it a regular stop (unfortunately for our waistlines) year ‘round, so I can attest to its irresistible attraction."
"1043 Old Cedar Bluff Road Knoxville, TN 37923 (865) 691-3327. 7670 S Northshore Drive Knoxville, TN 37919 (865) 951-2068. 906 East Emory Road Knoxville, TN 37938 (865) 938-9633"
"Want to learn all about the city’s history and how it came to be the state capitol?. Head over to the stunning Blount Mansion for a fun way of glimpsing the past through the lens of today. U.S. Constitution signer William Blount, also the Governor of the Southwest Territory, owned the home, as it was built in 1792, the same year that the city was made his capitol."
"From the outside, the Blount Mansion doesn’t strike visitors as anything too remarkable. It looks very modern for a house built in the 1790s. It was the home of the Southwest territory’s only governor, William Blount, and served as its capitol building; Tennessee’s constitution was drafted there too."
"Once you’re fitted up, wind through downtown and enjoy the 6.5-mile ride via the Neyland, Third Creek, and Bearden Village Greenways to Bearden Beer Market. Then kick back, relax, and reward yourself with the local brew of your choosing."
"Ben & Jerry’s is another great place to get ice cream in Gatlinburg. They have all kinds of flavors, such as Cherry Garcia and Phish Food, people love. You can also get them in a handmade waffle cone, cup, or milkshake."
"They have all kinds of flavors with different mix-ins and toppings. Try one of their milkshakes or sundaes. Some of their popular flavors include cherry garcia, chocolate fudge brownie, and toffee break."
"Located a short drive from Sevierville, the Bluff Mountain Fire Tower is an excellent overlook for seeing Pigeon Forge, the Smoky Mountains, and The East Tennessee Valley. This fire tower is open to the public and you can climb to the top, but surprisingly, this fire tower is one of the least known historic fire towers in the Smoky Mountains. Perhaps its obscurity is due to the steep, curvy roads of the Bluff Mountain area."
