The Local Bite offers comforting American fare in Loudon | Grub Scout
In most cases, I add restaurants to my list when I first hear about them. But often, by the time I actually get around to trying a place out, I’ve long since forgotten how I learned about it in the first place. Such was the case with The Local Bite in Loudon. All I recall is that it came well reviewed, based on my research. That was good enough for me to stick to my original plan to give it a shot. The Grub Spouse accompanied me to Loudon County for dinner one evening last week. We found the business on the south side of town in a small retail plaza. Inside, the atmosphere is typical of what one might find in a mom-and-pop diner: a modest number of tables and chairs in a moderately sized dining room. The trappings weren’t thematic per se, but the setting was aesthetically pleasing enough. The Local Bite’s current menu has been in place since spring and offers a familiar lineup of American fare. For example, starters include cheese curds, jalapeño poppers, onion rings and fried Brussels sprouts. You can also order chicken wings accompanied by any of five different sauces as well as

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
