I stood by him, peeking over the counter to see if I could help. I was too young to lend a hand with cooking, but my dad still gave me a job: throwing the apple peels into the trash. I loved it. I felt special. Now, that's my 5-year-old nephew's job, and I wish I was there to help him. It's been a few years since I've been back home for Thanksgiving , but November

Knoxville man starting endowment in memory of his beloved cats

Mia and Nomar, the cats Scott Colby adopted in 2003 when he was 32, were the first pets he ever owned. The cuddly companions meant the world to him, and since they've died, he's made it his mission to help other pet owners in their name. The cats were named for respective soccer and baseball legends, Mia Hamm and Nomar Garciaparra, who are married. When Colby adopted them all those years ago, he'd originally gone to the mall to do some shopping with his sister. He never expected to come home with a pair of kittens. They became "like children" to him, he said. "I never knew ... how having a pet could be life-changing for you in terms of like, yeah, your whole world revolves around these two guys now."

The Root (Beers) of Appalachia: A Review of Buddy Dave’s

Buddy Dave’s in Sevierville: An honest review Buddy Dave’s has a drive-thru. Of course, that’s not really shocking as most fast food places have a drive-thru. But as I sat in Buddy Dave’s – which for 30 years operated as an A&W franchise – I openly wondered if there was a less drive-thru-friendly operation than Buddy Dave’s. Maybe if they served spaghetti? Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that the food isn’t good. It’s just that Buddy Dave’s serves real food that’s not designed to be consumed on the move. The burgers are greasy in the best sense with a load of tasty toppings and condiments. The chili dogs are sloppy. And don’t get me started on the ice cream. The soft serve swirls come in regular, mega and jumbo – the last of which is taller than many young children. I can’t imagine pulling into the drive-thru and ordering an ice cream that goes a foot long or taller. Buddy Dave’s is run by the same family that operated the A&W. As such, they’ve taken all the best of the old A&W’s concepts and ratcheted them up into something that surpasses regular fast food dining. A tasty root beer
