The Legend Behind North Carolina's Most Haunted Road

At the southern end of North Carolina's Smoky Mountains, a paved two-lane byway winds 6 miles into the forested hills before stopping dead at the mouth of a dark, quarter-mile tunnel. This "Road to Nowhere" is Lakeview Drive, and not only has it stirred local controversy, but it's also fueled tales of ghosts and haints, phantom voices and footsteps from the residents of towns that were flooded when Fontana Lake filled in behind the dam. Although it's a scenic daytime drive that deserves a place on your to-do list, the road's isolation, history, and lore keep motorists away when night falls.

There is a small building in Lenoir City with no sign out front, no name on the windows, and no card reader by the register, yet locals keep filling its seats before the sun is fully up. The coffee cups come from a collection of mismatched mugs, the cook knows her flat top, and the server may remember your order after one visit.

A Dopo is serving Knoxville something new. The Slice Bar opens this week

Hungry customers can skip the reservations and grab a slice of award-winning pizza at A Dopo, which on Nov. 5 is expanding with The Slice Bar . The Slice Bar will add 2,200 square feet of space behind A Dopo at 516 Williams St., just north of the Old City. The opening follows A Dopo recently being named to the Michelin Guide to the American South with a Bib Gourmand distinction , which recognizes restaurants serving “great food at a great value." "We've maxed out our wood-burning oven," co-owner Brian Strutz previously told Knox News. "We can't make more pizza right now." A Dopo, named to USA TODAY's 2025 Restaurants of the Year list , has built a loyal base of sourdough pizza lovers. Reservations are notoriously hard to come by, and Strutz knows there are plenty of Knoxville diners A Dopo hasn't been able to serve. The Slice Bar gives A Dopo a creative way to welcome more guests. It'll look a little different from A Dopo's front of house, but the same recipes remain at its core. What's on the menu at The Slice Bar by A Dopo? The Slice Bar will serve Roman-style pizza by the slice

Locals Swear by the Giant, Juicy Cheeseburgers at This No-Frills Tennessee Burger Joint

The burgers here are half-pound patties, hand-pattied and cooked fresh to order. That means you’ll wait around 20 minutes, and nobody seems to mind one bit. The dining room holds only a handful of tables. A few more sit outside on a back deck. The building is old, simple, and clean, which feels exactly right for a place this focused on food.
