While legions of downtown restaurants have come and gone, Bistro has been an urban staple since 1980. Housed in the fourth-oldest building (circa 1820) in Knoxville, the Bistro offers three seasonal menus featuring locally sourced vegetables and products."
"Those in search of a meatless meal don't have to exert too much effort sifting through menu selections for suitable items. At Bistro at the Bijou, they have a separate menu for vegetarian and vegan diners. The lunch/dinner lineup runs the gamut, from white truffle fries and a house salad to veggie burgers and a sweet potato kale wrap."

I still don’t regret that decision one bit!"

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."

This funky and gorgeously open to the second story roof brewery is doing fascinating stuff with their concoctions, with White Arrow Pine Ale being SVV’s favorite and the Barkley Stout being mine."
4.2 (387 ratings)"Not too many years ago in the hills of Tennessee, Moonshiners hid their stills from Federal Revenuers as they continued the 200-year-old tradition of making high-proof ’shine’ from corn mash and sugar. It was called hooch, mountain dew, white lightning and the better known name of Moonshine, all made famous in the 1958 movie “Thunder Road” starring Robert Mitchum and Gene Barry, and shot in Cocke County, Tennessee, right next door to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. But today, there has been a revival of the drink with the passing of legislation making production of Moonshine legal in Tennessee, and distillers have been coming out of the woods ever since."
