Praying for the prayer requests. Thank you for including them in your video. I believe praying is the best thing we can do for each other. Keep up the great videos.
First, I want to commend the two of you for not only opening with prayer requests, but truly making them from your hearts. Cancer has touched my life with family and friends too many times. Praying for Lisa's restoration to health. And, the impact of the loss of a child is horrific regardless of the age of the child. I remember New Years afternoon, 1984. The maintenance guy at the last radio station I worked at called me at home. A mutual friend from the station passed away that morning. Fred was 53. Seeing his 80-something mother at the mortuary brought so many of us to tears. Fred was an only child who hardly knew his father as he had a heart attack when Fred was only a few years old. The bond of a parent to their child is one of the strongest constants in the universe. And, that parental bond extends to our Heavenly Father's love for us. Praying for that family that they find comfort in the promise of the Resurrection. As for the review itself, your usual excellence once again. As for the 3% credit card upcharge, so many places are doing that these days. The dealer where I take my car for service "builds it in" to their invoice on every order, but deletes it if you use a debit card. One final comment about including the prayer requests. PSE continue as you see the need. That's what makes both of you blessings in an otherwise arid desert of mediocrity. God Bless!
Thank you so much for your kind comments. We know those 2 families appreciate your prayers so much. The friend that I mentioned who lost his daughter, had to lay her to rest this past Saturday. I can only imagine the pain that would be. It's one I hope I never have to feel, and wouldn't wish that on anyone. And yes, you are correct...It doesn't matter what age they are. It's an unbreakable bond. Thanks for watching!
Thank y'all for the continued prayers. We will also be praying Ms. Lisa from your church. Shawn loves a good salad bar, so will have to check this place out next time we are in Gatlinburg.
Yes, we are definitely praying hard for you all during this difficult time. I hope it was okay that we mentioned it, but we just wanted our viewing audience to be lifting you all up.
@NCMemoryMakers , it was perfectly fine, we appreciate and feel all the prayers. Shawn is taking this really hard. She had her whole life ahead of her. She had just started nursing school and had recently gotten back right with God.
Park Grill is my favorite! I love the salad bar too! Next time get the Nanner pudding! I had it and it is so delicious and huge in a pint jar! I split it with my husband! It seems strange seeing yall back in Gatlinburg and not in Florida! I LOVED every video you did on your vacation! Praying for your friends! I can't imagine losing a child! Love you two and look forward to seeing what is next after Cades Cove!
@sherrysullivan1893 I know they will appreciate the prayers. Thank you so much for that. Yes, there's always something that draws us back to the Smokies. We didn't get a dessert, because we were meeting friends immediately after in The Village, at the Donut Friar.
Prayers for your friend who lost their daughter and the lady with cancer. I love Park Grill's salad bar. I would be happy with just the salad bar. I will have to try beets and cottage cheese together. Have a great weekend. 😎😎
@jbinthehills Let us know what you think of that, if you try it. I know it's an odd combination. And I'm sure both families do appreciate the prayers. Thank you.
We have never been to Park Grill despite MANY trips to the area.........we do love the Peddler. Maybe next time we'll try Park Grill. I would love to see you do a visit to Foothills Milling Company in Maryville. It is expensive...........truly (for us at least) only a special occasion restaurant but it is lovely with amazing food and superb service. God bless you. I really love your videos.
Thank you so much for watching, and for the suggestion. Perhaps we will be able to do that at some point. We rarely ever get to Maryville, but we have on occasion. We appreciate you watching and letting us know that you enjoy our content.
Prayers for your friends. The qr code does work on the tv screen. I have heard that they have great burgers there. Good looking salad bar there. Glad you had a good meal. We have this restaurant on our list of places to try. I like that they don't apply an extra upcharge for using a credit/debit card. Nice review!
Thank you! Yes, she has to keep me in the loop on all this newfangled technology. Yes, their burgers are really good. I had to go back and watch our previous review from 2 years ago, but I said in that review that it was one of the better burgers I've had. I remembered liking it, but I didn't remember it being among the best. But apparently, it was.
We ate there in July on vacation in Gatlinburg. Always great, never had a bad experience there. Been eating there at least 16 years now, had our wedding dinner there.
Prayers for each of your friends and families. We would love to meet you guys sometimes. We live over in Morristown, not to far away. Dinner would be our treat.
We would love to meet you all. Thank you for the generous offer, but we would not expect you to treat us. We just love meeting viewers. I know we will be back in the area the week of Christmas, for sure. Probably at least once before that. Thanks so much for the prayers, and thanks for watching!
First and foremost prayers for Sean and his family and for Lisa. 😢 Love ribs! Matter of fact I got a full rack 2 weeks ago at Texas Roadhouse. They were so big I hate half and brought the other half rack home.
Are the ribs at Texas Roadhouse pretty good I've heard that they are. And I know that they will appreciate the prayers. Shawn and his wife Rita, have appeared in a couple of videos with us.
Also been eating at The Park Grill since it was new. Originally it didn't have the salad bar. Went a couple of weeks ago after hiking Rainbow/Bullhead to Leconte. Had the Pork barbecue plate w salad bar for $20. Salad bar alone is $19. Love the smoked oysters 😋
Well, I'm glad somebody enjoys the smoked oysters. For me, that was one of the worst things I've ever had. But I do love the rest of the salad bar, and I actually thought about getting the pulled pork plate for $20. I may try that next time. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for sharing this trip. Have safe weekend I have to try that cottage chesse and beets .I love them both never eat together The picke Okra and that little bitty pickle corn
Loved the review, we'll definitely be trying this place next time we're up there. Sounds like you're camping near the area of the fires, hope you're safe.
@@NCMemoryMakers That's good news. They were saying it went from 2 to 23 acres and nearing the Cades Cove visitor center. Glad you're safe, have a wonderful holiday.
We just spent a week on Oregon Coast and did have 1 restaurant charge the 3% for credit card. First encounter with that on west coast. Your meal looked very good I did think it was a little pricy. Nice salad bar. Enjoy your weekend.
Cades Cove was not closed due to fire. There were 2 small fires burning outside of the Cove, so we read. We didn't even so much as see any smoke from them. Plus, it rained 2 of the last 3 days, so I'm sure that helped. Thanks for watching! Camping video should be up in a few days.
@@carolchmielewski5313But they sure go great together. At least try one bite and tell me what you think of it. Admittedly, that's the only way I'll eat beets. But I will eat cottage cheese on a salad, or in Italian dishes.
I'm wanting to say I might have tried that when we were at the Shady Maple in Pennsylvania, back in June. I'd have to go back and watch the video. But I'm pretty sure that I did.
I just don’t understand why people go crazy over canned smoked oysters. You can buy them at just about any grocery store and they’re not real expensive. They’re very common. Why is it that if a restaurant puts them on their salad bar they immediately become GOLD??? They’re just canned smoked oysters! Yes the restaurant uses canned oysters 😢. I think it’s a mental thing.
Praying for the prayer requests. Thank you for including them in your video. I believe praying is the best thing we can do for each other. Keep up the great videos.
@@janetchaffin7038We completely agree. And I know the two families will appreciate the prayers. Thank you.
Prayers go out to the family who lost their child. Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend. ❤❤😊
Thank you! I know they will appreciate it.

Be praying for them we all need the personal attention from the lord thanks you two

@@NCMemoryMakers , I've only gotten them twice and they were great both occasions. I'll send a pic to tiur phone from the last time.
Praying the LORD gives strength and comfort to the family that lost their child. Praying for healing for your church member with cancer.
@@TravisButterworth Thank you! I know they will appreciate it.
Try the ribs at Longhorn. I promise you will go there all the time for ribs. They are amazing!!

3:13 Their salad bar is our favorite of all the places we’ve eaten. In addition, their steaks, chicken and pulled pork are delicious.
Yes, they have a great salad bar and some really good food.
Thank you so much for watching
It’s been years sense I ate there I always remembered those garlic mashed potatoes yummmy and I got the rotisserie chicken
Sounds wonderful! Thank you so much for watching!
I pray for Lisa every morning and I will pray for your friend who lost a daughter.
@@janmoss9008 @TravisButterworth Thank you! I know they will both appreciate it.
Praying for Lisa
Thanks for sharing this trip. Have safe weekend I have to try that cottage chesse and beets .I love them both never eat together The picke Okra and that little bitty pickle corn
@@michaelpardue2400 I'd be curious to know what you think of beets and cottage cheese together. It's kind of a weird sounding combination.
Prayers for all.
Thanks so much!
That's a pretty place we canned picked okra yummy 😋 😍
@stepheniesmith4927 Yes, she loves fried okra, but I will only eat it pickled.
Stay safe! I heard about the fire burning near Abrams Falls and Parsons Branch Rd.
Have a wonderful weekend!
@nancymcdaniel4733 Yes, we are monitoring that situation. I hope it doesn't affect the campground, I hope they get it under control.
Loved the review, we'll definitely be trying this place next time we're up there.
Sounds like you're camping near the area of the fires, hope you're safe.
@@Rebecca-wm3jr Yes, we're not even seeing any smoke or reduced air quality off of the fires. I'm surprised.
@@NCMemoryMakers That's good news. They were saying it went from 2 to 23 acres and nearing the Cades Cove visitor center.

It’s been almost 2 years since we visited Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge for the first time. Next getaway, Garden City end of October…
Yes, it was pricey. But most things in Gatlinburg are. That's the cost of it being a tourist town.
Hope you have fun!
Delicious food
Yes, it was! Thanks for watching.
I hope you was able to camp in Cades Cove. I saw where it was closed due to fire. Hope they got it out.🥰
Cades Cove was not closed due to fire. There were 2 small fires burning outside of the Cove, so we read. We didn't even so much as see any smoke from them. Plus, it rained 2 of the last 3 days, so I'm sure that helped.
Thanks for watching! Camping video should be up in a few days.
They’re doing the upcharge for credit/debit cards here in Charlotte area at certain restaurants
So sad! Two of the foods that I dislike most - beets and cottage cheese! :)
@@carolchmielewski5313But they sure go great together. At least try one bite and tell me what you think of it.
Admittedly, that's the only way I'll eat beets. But I will eat cottage cheese on a salad, or in Italian dishes.
The only thing I won't eat, beets lol.
Hello my friends hope you have a great weekend
@@vitsteele-lz2hn Thank you!
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you!
You have to try cottage cheese and apple butter
I'm wanting to say I might have tried that when we were at the Shady Maple in Pennsylvania, back in June. I'd have to go back and watch the video. But I'm pretty sure that I did.

Why is it that if a restaurant puts them on their salad bar they immediately become GOLD??? They’re just canned smoked oysters! Yes the restaurant uses canned oysters 😢. I think it’s a mental thing.
It may be. To me, they are so bad, I don't know how grocery stores manage to sell them. But to each their own, I guess.
Gatlinburg
@@BretBrin Yes, this is Gatlinburg.
