The Root (Beers) of Appalachia: A Review of Buddy Dave’s

Buddy Dave’s in Sevierville: An honest review Buddy Dave’s has a drive-thru. Of course, that’s not really shocking as most fast food places have a drive-thru. But as I sat in Buddy Dave’s – which for 30 years operated as an A&W franchise – I openly wondered if there was a less drive-thru-friendly operation than Buddy Dave’s. Maybe if they served spaghetti? Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that the food isn’t good. It’s just that Buddy Dave’s serves real food that’s not designed to be consumed on the move. The burgers are greasy in the best sense with a load of tasty toppings and condiments. The chili dogs are sloppy. And don’t get me started on the ice cream. The soft serve swirls come in regular, mega and jumbo – the last of which is taller than many young children. I can’t imagine pulling into the drive-thru and ordering an ice cream that goes a foot long or taller. Buddy Dave’s is run by the same family that operated the A&W. As such, they’ve taken all the best of the old A&W’s concepts and ratcheted them up into something that surpasses regular fast food dining. A tasty root beer

Ex-Tennessee Vols assistant Joe Osovet breaks silence on allegations behind firing

Former Heritage High School (Maryville, TN) head football coach and Tennessee Volunteers tight end coach Joe Osovet is breaking his silence after being fired from his position at the Blount County school on Oct. 20. A report received by the Heritage High School administration stated that Osovet had attempted to influence the team's athletic trainers to circumvent the concussion protocol during a game against Carter on Sept. 25. A week later, Osovet was placed on administrative leave. According to a release from Blount County schools director Justin Ridge on Nov. 6, an investigation had determined that Osovet had "engaged in unprofessional conduct and insubordination, including actions inconsistent with the district's expectations for protecting student-health and safety". Osovet, who had remained fairly quiet throughout the process, finally took to social media to state his side of things on Nov. 6 "I firmly dispute these accusations and the characterization of my actions throughout this investigation," Osovet posted to his Facebook . "In my 36 years of coaching, I have never interfered with a physician's diagnosis or acted against established concussion protocols ― the safety and well-being of my players have always come first. "My time to speak will come, and when it
