5 Best Restaurants in Knoxville, Tennessee You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them
Knoxville, Tennessee — a city where the Tennessee River bends through the heart of downtown, where the Smokies rise blue on the horizon, and where every street hums with the laughter of students, the wisdom of old-timers, and the dreams of newcomers drawn by the promise of something soulful. Here, red-brick warehouses lean into the future, murals bloom on stucco, and the scent of barbecue and biscuits drifts through neighborhoods stitched together by memory and hope.

Michelin noticed Maryville. Its restaurant boom was years in the making | Exclusive
The Michelin Guide recently confirmed what many in Maryville have known for years: This small East Tennessee city, roughly 15 miles south of Knoxville, is a dining destination. The guide’s American South Awards recognized Raven Steakhouse and Lounge earlier this month, and The Restaurant at RT Lodge was recommended for the second year in a row . But Maryville's culinary rise shouldn’t come as a surprise. Restaurant owners, chefs and developers have been betting on the city for years, building on a foundation laid by longtime institutions while introducing Maryville's 32,000 residents to ambitious new concepts that once might have seemed more at home in a larger city. For restaurateur Jimmy Loup, the appeal was obvious a few years back as he walked through downtown Maryville in the dead of winter. It felt like snow could fall from the sky and decorate the town at any moment. It reminded him of a Hallmark movie. "Maryville is this idyllic town," Loup told Knox News. "When I was describing it to my wife, I was like, 'You gotta drive out here with me.'" Loup and his business partner, Jim Saunders, got their first taste of Maryville after moving from Texas to Knoxville

McGhee Tyson Airport transitioning to new parking system
Travelers using the parking garage at McGhee Tyson Airport will have to adjust to scanning rather than jamming their ticket in the reader when they leave. The airport’s change in parking systems has been rolling out to the lots over the last few months, but this week the change for the garage began on Monday with both systems in operation at the exit. “By Wednesday, we’ll have all of the new equipment lanes open and the old equipment, so we’ll have all the lanes open,” Aaron Flake, director of parking and ground transportation, said. “We’ll be phasing the customers to those two lanes running the old system until they all phase out. We’ll have three very fast exit Lanes, and then we’ll start closing those older lanes and adding that new equipment into them.” Flake answered questions regarding the transition to the new parking access and revenue control system Oct. 21 during the monthly meeting of the Metropolitan Knoxville Airport Authority Board of Commissioners. Lot A is open on the new system. Lot B was closed as crews rework the islands for the new system. Staff anticipates that the transition for the garage and lots will be completed by Nov.
