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.

A honey bun goes on the grill here, and nobody thinks that’s strange. It’s simply part of the morning at a small, cash-only diner where biscuits and gravy get the most attention. I like how plain this place keeps things. The doors open at 6 AM on weekdays,...

Tucked Away in the Smoky Mountains, This Bakery Makes Cinnamon Rolls Worth the Scenic Drive

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

‘My Mayfly’ Comes Home to East Tennessee for World Premiere at Film Fest Knox

My Mayfly, the first feature film from writer-director Paula Kay Hornick, will celebrate its world premiere at Film Fest Knox on Saturday, November 14, at 9:15 p.m. at Regal Riviera, Theater 2, 510 S. Gay Street in downtown Knoxville. Starring Adelaide Clemens with Alicia Witt and Johnathon Schaech, it was shot in the Great Smoky Mountains and Knoxville. The film follows a woman whose relentless pace of life has little room for the people and things that matter most. When she embarks on a solo fly-fishing trip to prove something to herself, a harrowing experience in the wilderness and an encounter with a mysterious forest ranger force her to confront the past she’s been running from and reconsider what truly matters.
