7 Tennessee Restaurants Serving Hush Puppies So Good, They’re Alone Worth the Drive

Forget the main course for a minute. In Tennessee, there’s a crispy, golden side dish that’s stealing the spotlight, and it’s worth hitting the road for. We’re talking about hush puppies, those irresistible little bites of fried cornmeal that somehow disappear from the table before anyone touches their catfish.

Four Decades of Rethinking Large-Format Tile at Crossville

Exactly how big is big? When it comes to large-format porcelain tile (LFT), the answer has been unclear for years. Crossville has been making oversized tile in its Tennessee manufacturing plant since it launched in 1986, when the definition of “large format” was pretty loose. Was it 8 square inches, 12-by-24-inch tiles, or something else?

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.

Maryville Alcoa Animal Rescue Center Dog of the Week: SpongeBob

Readers may remember SpongeBob, the furriest little sponge that lived under the sea. He lived with his friends, Harry the dogfish and Patty, the dog shark. SpongeBob loved swimming in the ocean. He’d play hide-and-seek in sunken ships with slippery eels. When he caught them, he’d shake and shake, and toss them through the water. “Wheeee!” they’d cry. SpongeBob also loved sampling all the local fare, like crabs, lobsters, and oysters. One time he tried a mouthful of seaweed. “Blech,” he said, spitting it out. “I need something meatier.” He’d scratch a scratchy spot on the coral, and at night he’d use anemones as pillows, laying his little head in their soft tentacles. Life in the ocean was fun for little SpongeBob, but he had so much love to give and no one to give it to. After all, sharks aren’t exactly cuddly. So one day, he breached the surface and blew a stream of water into the air. “Look, a whale…wait a minute…” someone called from the shore. SpongeBob caught a wave and rode it all the way to the Maryville Alcoa Animal Center, where he now waits for his furever home. The perfect home for sweet eight-month-old SpongeBob
