These 7 Tennessee Bakeries Are Worth Driving Across The State For

Some bakeries are so good that you’d happily drive an extra hour just to get your hands on their famous treats, and Tennessee has quite a few worth the trip. We’re talking fluffy donuts made from decades-old recipes, buttery croissants with dozens of delicate layers, warm cinnamon rolls covered in sweet icing, and freshly baked bread that tastes incredible straight from the oven.

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.

Grab a Plate and Dig Into Red-Eye Gravy at These 7 Tennessee Breakfast Spots

Red-eye gravy starts with salty country ham drippings and a splash of coffee. That’s it. No flour, no thickener, just a thin, smoky pour that somehow tastes like a family recipe. I love that a sauce this humble still shows up on breakfast menus across Tennessee. It cuts through...

Dolly Parton fans took over this flight. It became a celebration

SANFORD, Florida – I counted at least six blonde wigs on a Dolly Parton-inspired flight from Florida to Tennessee. “We knew the assignment, so we had to do it,” Karen Nehus said after we landed. She wore a pink sequined jacket, black fringe shirt and matching pants with her mane of platinum curls. Other passengers donned denim, rhinestones and T-shirts with Parton’s face on it for Allegiant Air Flight 925. It was the first of two specially numbered "Destination Dollywood" flights from Orlando Sanford International Airport to Knoxville's McGhee Tyson Airport on Nov. 6, and part of a whole weekend planned at Dollywood. Allegiant and Dollywood dreamed up the fan experience well before Parton's passing in August, announcing the first flight back in February. “Allegiant tells us the Dollywood-themed flight was one of the fastest-selling flights in their history,” Dollywood Parks & Resorts President Eugene Naughton said in a statement in March, when the second flight, Flight 2925, was announced. Both were numbered after Parton's hit song "9 to 5." "It just looked like something really fun to do and we all like Dolly and we thought it would be a blast, which it was," Nehus said. “We were very

What’s New & What’s Next Downtown, Part 1: Restaurants & Retail

Downtown Knoxville has been keeping busy, and I’ve got a massive backlog of openings, announcements and developments to prove it. Time for a catch-up! Last week I again joined Compass Knox editor Scott Barker and co-founder Jesse Fox Mayshark on their Compass Points podcast to nerd out on all things downtown-ish. Naturally, I showed up with 10 FULL PAGES of notes about stuff happening in downtown proper alone. Since both hosts and producer Seth Barber failed to clear their next six hours for my monologue, I crammed what I could into a rapid-fire spoken word performance, confirming once and for all that I should stick to journalism.

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
