Showdown on the Dolly Parton Parkway: Aubrey’s vs Holston’s
Aubrey’s vs Holston’s Kitchen: A Culinary Battle Located a half mile apart, drive time depending on the traffic, a pair of American-style restaurants are battling it out for Sevierville’s mid-tier dining business. It's Aubrey's vs Holston's. What do I mean by mid-tier? It’s not necessarily an indication of experience, as I think both are good to find. Certainly, they are a step above McDonald’s, Culver’s, and A&W, which represent their immediate neighbors. But they don’t aspire to the heights of the Downtown Sevierville foodie scene represented by The Appalachian, Seasons 101, and Pinchy’s, located just a little further up the road. The restaurants – imo – offer a very similar dining experience. Though the more established Aubrey’s may have a stronger culinary reputation in the region. If you’re looking for sit-down dining in the Dolly Parton Parkway area, there’s a good chance you’re going to be choosing between these two. A steak and loaded baked potato at Aubrey's (photo by Morgan Overholt/TheSmokies.com) About Aubrey’s Born in Knoxville in the early 90s, Aubrey’s has built a strong reputation in the region. With 16 locations spread up and down East Tennessee – including two in the middle of the state – Aubrey’s

Sicilia Pizza in Oak Ridge worthy of spot in rotation | Grub Scout
Often, I’ll see a restaurant on my to-do list and have no recollection of how I first heard about it. Such was the case with Sicilia Pizza , a family-owned business in Oak Ridge. But as a huge pizza lover, I didn’t need much context to take on the assignment. The Grub Spouse and I headed up that way for dinner last week. The facility itself could best be described as a classic hole-in-the-wall establishment, occupying a rear basement space in an older retail plaza across from the local high school. Inside, the décor was bare bones, but one of the owners greeted us with a warm and friendly welcome from behind the counter and invited us to peruse a menu at the table of our choice. The offerings cover a lot of ground in the realm of Italian cuisine. The appetizers are generally of the deep-fried variety, ranging from cheesy bread and chicken tenders to mozzarella sticks and garlic mushrooms. The Lyla Bites are dough balls seasoned with garlic butter and Parmesan cheese and served with marinara. Also on the menu are chicken wings, salads and sub sandwiches in multiple varieties — Cajun chicken, Italian, meatball and Philly chicken

Johnny Knoxville loves baseball and hopes his son plays for Tennessee
Johnny Knoxville has pitched TV shows, movies and bone‑crushing stunts that only a ragtag group of "Jackass" friends would agree to perform. Before his pain‑riddled rise to fame, though, the Knoxville native was a pitcher of baseballs in the heart of Vols Country − and he's hoping a college career at Tennessee could be in the cards for his son. "I'm trying to sing him the praises on the Tennessee Vols ," Johnny told Knox News. "What a wonderful program." Johnny’s son, Rocko Clapp − who uses his father’s given name rather than the nod to Knoxville − is a right‑handed pitcher in Beverly Hills, California, set to graduate in 2028. Now 16, Clapp showed off his skills to a national TV audience on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" back in 2022 to help his father promote "Reboot," a Hulu comedy series starring Johnny that followed the cast of a fictional early-2000s sitcom. The late-night host showed viewers some of Clapp's highlights from a tournament in Cooperstown, New York, where Johnny said his son pitched nine innings over two games and struck out 18 batters. Growing up in South Knoxville, Johnny played baseball from the age of 6 to 18 and was
