Apparently it’s National Wine Day, so this post is perfect timing! We enjoyed a quick drink and bite to eat at Water into Wine last weekend before heading to a dinnertime showing of Beauty and the Beast! Here’s a little recap for those wondering what this cute bistro located in Farragut is all about –…
Knoxville Eats: M3 Food Truck & Old City Wine Bar
Knoxville has truly seen a resurgence in it’s downtown as well as it’s food scene in the last 5-10 years. I’ve always been amazed at the sheer number of restaurants our small city contains, but in the last few years we’ve grown from a town full of chains to a town full of local eateries,…
Knoxville Eats: Primo Italian
Let’s just go ahead and get this out of the way: Dining at Primo is an experience. We recently celebrated eight years of wedded bliss, and decided that dining at Bruce Boggartz’s newest endeavor would be worth an anniversary dinner. Fun anecdote before we begin: Bruce used to work with my Dad way back when…
Knoxville Eats: Holly’s 135
Let me preface this review by saying that Holly’s 135 is now closed, but you can experience the expert cuisine of Ms. Holly Hambright at two other locations around town: Holly’s Gourmet Market and Holly’s Corner, so I felt it still warranted a review. Okay, now to get down to it and talk about Holly’s 135…
Knoxville Eats: Makers Donuts

It’s true – we seem to love food and flock in droves to anything remotely interesting in terms of new cuisine – even new chain restaurants!

Knoxville Eats: the Orangery
We’ve been penny-pinching like crazy lately saving up towards a down payment for a house. For our 4th anniversary we decided not to get each other anything. However, being the foodies that we are, we still sprung for a lavish dinner out. After much online menu perusing, we settled on The Orangery…
Knoxville Eats: The French Market
I have been to France – only once so far in my lifetime. It was in high school before I really appreciated the “finer” things. Needless to say, I did not get to enjoy true French cuisine, let alone a delicious classic like a crêpe filled with strawberries and cream. So when I discovered that…
