Come Hungry to This Tennessee Restaurant Where the Fried Seafood Steals the Show

Hush puppies, catfish, flounder, and piles of baby shrimp keep showing up in conversations about one seafood spot in the mountains. That alone made me stop and look closer. The fried platters here come in Calabash style. That means light breading, quick frying, and seafood that stays the star. The large platters are famously big, so take-home boxes feel almost guaranteed.

New Kingsport Bridge will connect Brickyard Park to downtown

The City of Kingsport is getting a major boost to help connect Brickyard Park to downtown. Federal officials have awarded the city 5.6 million dollars to build a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the CSX railroad tracks. The bridge will link Brickyard Park directly to Centennial Park downtown. Local transportation officials say the project will give walkers and cyclists a much safer way to cross the tracks, while hopefully bringing more foot traffic to downtown shops and restaurants. As part of the deal with CSX, the existing street-level vehicle crossing will be permanently closed once the bridge is built. Kingsport will pitch in 1.4 million dollars to match the federal grant, adding to 2.6 million already secured from the state. Design work is finished, and construction is expected to kick off in 2027.

Surgoinsville fire chief leaves farewell message

SURGOINSVILLE — Although he was unable to attend the Monday, Nov. 9 Surgoinsville BMA meeting, recently departed Fire Chief Shane Suthers left a farewell message. During the reports to the board early in the meeting, Suthers’ report stated that “it had been one of the biggest honors of his life to serve,” and thanked the board and community for their support. Suthers had announced his resignation on Monday, Oct. 5, but served through the end of last month. He had served the Surgoinsville Fire Department for 22 years, including the last 10 as Chief, but said that serving in that capacity was costing him too many missed opportunities with his family. He said he would continue to serve the department as a firefighter. On an evening when most of the agenda items included what might be termed housecleaning measures, the fire department again took front and center, when the board approved a request for the department to apply for a Volunteer Firefighter Equipment and Training Grant Program (VFEAT) grant. These grants are awarded annually by the Department of Commerce and Insurance, and reimburse departments for matching funds they may have to pay on federal grants for the purchase of firefighting

Andy is a detective with the Rogersville Police Department. He has lived most of his life in Hawkins County. He remembered “my papaw got me started fishing when I was six or seven years old.

I started fishing in a little pond behind my “Papaw Pete’s” house in Mohawk.” Fast forward to 2026; Andy’s boat broke down and he started painting lures to “have something to do.” “I had thought about painting lures for a while, but I didn’t think I was artistic,” he said. “I had never picked up an airbrush before. I found my calling!” Andy has any type of hard baits and all sizes of crank baits. These include jerk baits, glide baits and top water baits.

The first winter after Candace Wiggin and her now-husband, Lucas, started dating, she was puzzled when his family gathered in the barn at their farm in Greene County to watch what appeared to be water boiling in a large metal pan. It was sap, explained her future in-laws, Don and Jody, and it would evaporate and turn to maple syrup. Each winter, they would give it away in Mason jars to neighbors and friends.

PHOTO GALLERY: Top-ranked Tornadoes roar past Chiefs

ALCOA — Defending state champion and top-ranked Alcoa got a pair of touchdowns from Mr. Football semifinalist Micah Jones and tacked on five more by five different players en route to a 49-3 win over Cherokee in the first round of the TSSAA Class 4A football playoffs on Friday, Nov. 6 at Bill Bailey Stadium. It was the 56th straight postseason victory for Alcoa (11-0), which improved to 146-15 in the playoffs. The Tornadoes haven’t lost a first-round playoff game since 1996. It was the third straight playoff appearance for Cherokee, which ends its season at 6-5. “I’m proud of our guys. We didn’t back down. We did it with the right mentality. I thought our offense and defense got after it as best they could,” said Cherokee coach Josh Hensley. “I was proud of their togetherness. Even when adversity hit, we stayed locked in and kept fighting.” Cherokee knew the assignment was daunting when it drew Region 1’s short straw and the accompanying trip to Alcoa for a second straight year. The Tornadoes defeated the Chiefs 56-0 in the storm-shortened first meeting between the schools last November. But Hensley knew his team wouldn’t shy away from the challenge. “I
