Food scene
If you are driving through Maryville (they also have a location in Knoxville) this is our favorite sushi/Japanese spot in the East Tennessee. It rivals the great sushi we had in Los Angeles when we lived there!

This is where we love to go to grab a bite and watch the games or the UFC fight. Our go to's are the original wet wings (or anything with the Thunder Road sauce!), one of their burgers or their ceasar salad with roasted chicken & garlic roasted tomatoes. this is the location closets to our house but we also love the one in Gatlinburg for a more "local" feel.

Another great place for celebrations. I call this "Gourmet Southern"...lot's of familiar southern foods such as fried chicken skin, pimento cheese and shrimp & grits but with a gourmet, farm-to-table twist.

Forgot something? Whaley's has all your basic needs and it's just down the road from our cabin. They also have good sandwiches and Amish made products. For bigger shopping needs, head a few more miles down the road to Publix or Kroger.

Teaster Lane
Teaster Lane is about a 3 mile road that runs parallel to Parkway. Its a road less travelled and is the path we take to several places. such as Dollywood, LeConte Center, Mellow Mushroom, Marshalls, Starbucks and many other places. If you avoid Parkway for any length...it is worth it!

There are local companies such as picnic in the park that will curate a beautiful charcuterie platter for you and take professional photos. Great for an outdoor date day!

Make Reservations for Everything!!
The Smoky Mountain National Park has nearly 15 M visitors a year (and that's just the park!) so plan ahead and make reservations wherever you go! The only slower months are Jan & Feb but I would still recommend reservations.
