I miss TN so much! I went there recently to the eastern part of the state. There so much you can do out there! If you DON'T want to pay that much to visit, you can check out the mountains. If you're up for it, you can hike through the Appalachian Mountains. After getting plenty of fresh air and burning calories, there are so many DELICIOUS restaurants to choose. One of my favorite place is the Black Bear Cafe in Pigeon Forge, TN! If you want to see one of the BIGGEST pancakes in the entire state, GO HERE! The pancakes are fluffy, warm, and WONDERFUL! The food is GREAT! Also, the owner is AWESOME, especially if you have kids!
Gus’s Chicken in Memphis and Knoxville is iconic. Also, if you are on I-40 East heading to North Carolina, stop by Carver’s Apple Orchard- a working orchard with a restaurant and shops. Their apple fritters are phenomenal! Thanks for featuring our state! -Knoxville Girl
Nashville native here, I am the Unicorn! I grew up on meat and threes, hot chicken, pulled pork bbq, biscuits, country ham, collards, banana puddin', Goo-Goos... absolutely!! But Nashville also has fantastic authentic Mexican, Vietnamese, Ethiopian, and even Uzbek (nom nom!!!) food thanks to our fabulous communities from all over the world. Jack yes.. but I'd say our beers and ciders are a good find too. Diskin Cidery here in Nashville is a great place for the whole family to chill, play games, snack on hearty munchies, and for mom and dad to enjoy their stable of ciders. I suggest an Uber as there are so many ciders you will want to try them all. :D
Jocelyn I showed this video to my wife and we both agree that we like all the food shown here. I didn't even know that they still made Goo Goo Clusters. My grandfather and dad both loved them but I haven't seen them in Texas for decades. Maybe they sell them in specialty candy stores here in Texas but I'm not sure. Hey it's great to see y'all out traveling even in these crazy times!
Just got back from the Smoky Mountains. Loved the seeing the bears and bobcats. Enjoyed the shine especially. Stop in to Ole Smoky Moonshine for a great time.
*”Hattie B’s is the most famous.”* 🤔 Um. Prince’s Hot Chicken says “HELLO!” 😆 I’ve been to both. Quite tasty chicken indeed. *Country Ham* - Gotta give some love to Tennessee country ham. Obviously great country ham in North Carolina, Virginia and Kentucky but Tennessee may (MAY) be tops. If you see Benton’s country ham or bacon on a restaurant menu, order it. Trust me. *Really fun EATS video, y’all.* I’ve been to Tennessee a few times. Delicious southern food indeed.
Mark quickly mentioned Prince's. But the lines were so long neither of us has eaten there so, you know, we don't talk about what we don't know. 😉 will try the ham!
Haha. Jocelyn, you’re the true wordsmith in the group. Doesn’t take personal experience to declare something the “most famous.” I’ve never been to The Hermitage yet I’m confident it’s the most famous museum in St. Petersburg. 😉
@@ProfessorWolters I’m s stickler for making an effort to always try original wherever I travel when possible even if it’s now touristy. Prince’s has held up indeed. 👍
Usually, the first weekend in September is the Nashville Greek Festival at the local church. It's very popular and has tasty food. Their baklava is full of honey goodness
When you're at a quality food destination such as Tennessee, do yourself a favor and go to a quality place for food. There are hundreds of BBQ restaurants in Tennessee but not all of them are of the quality shown here in this video.
Listen you going to Nashville My favorite place on broadway (well second but its close) Is The Stillery that place Has my favorite dish Nashville hot chicken on a bed of Mac and cheese aaand my word thay mac and cheese is bussin Some other favorites is jalapeno bacon rangoons, siracha deviled eggs, cast iron wings, and they have an amazing selction of burgers and pizzas My burgers of choice is the pretzel burger that has caramelized onion and pub cheese or the MC burger that comes on a English muffin has an egg and prosciutto And my favorite pizza is the Nashville hot chicken pizza YES THEY TURNED IT INTO A PIZZA
This is another good video young lady ! I love the video's you make when you travel. God bless you. Jocelyn. Keep up the good work. FRANK from montana.. PS when are you gonna come rate some food in montana ??
I was lucky to travel several times to Tennessee in the past for a different hotel company. I remember all the barrels and how the entire town of Lynchburg had that Jack Daniels smell. Nice. I also worked with Cracker Barrel (sort of ) in Lebanon Tn because they own their own hotel that they use for trainees and people visiting Corp hQ and at the time it was branded as a Best Western (I worked for them ). Interesting visit. They would put a store manager in charge of the hotel for a few months. And change them out constantly.
Oh gee, you were just about 30 minutes from the house. Nice place to stop and just up 41 from there is one of the best pizza and winery places around (Lookout Winery). Great wood fired pizza with a killer view overlooking the Tennessee River. Try it out next time you're passing through
I love catfish 😁, not so much the whiskey. When it comes to that I prefer the peaty whiskies from Islay in Scotland, like Laphroaig, Lagavullin, Bowmore, Klichoman, Ardbeg and others. 🥃🥃
@@WoltersWorldEats I agree on the differences and even have a bottle of Jack Daniels on my shelf right now, but I have found no whiskey so far, with the peaty taste that I prefer. 😁
Like I told someone else, WC and Krystals are like Pepsi and Coke...you're kinda a 'one or the other' person. It's if you like WC, more Krystals for me 😉
I'd like to politely disagree on White Castle vs Krystal's. We are WC fans. Of course, we were raised on White Castles, but we did try Krystal's and thought they were good, but not WC. =0) My husband and I disagree on catfish. I find it too soft, he loves it! It's hard to find a good catfish fry here in MIchigan for some reason. Will have to try some the next time we are in TN.
I just moved from Memphis after 20 years there. Please stop advertising the Rendezvous. It’s gross (vinegar based sauce, lackluster sides) and unlike all the other bbq in town. The best part of Rendezvous is it’s location/atmosphere. Otherwise go to Corky’s, Central BBQ, One & Only, Commissary, Neeley’s. Please! Catfish and sweet tea-yum! In Arizona now looking to lose weight 😂 Love your channel!
@@woltersworld My best friend and her husband who is on one of the big competing teams LOVE Central when they aren’t cooking. My favs; one & only and corky’s. I think a progressive bbq dinner, hitting all the different joints, is a great way to sample Memphis. I’ll check your other video. Again thanks for the channel. I’m out here watching and preparing my next trip.
Sorry, but Tennessee doesn’t really have much of a food identity. The hot chicken is about it. The BBQ is good, but let’s be honest. It’s not SC or TX.
I really like making vids with @Wolters World! 😁
I feel like I wrote that comment on your computer... but i could be wrong ;)
@@woltersworld 😆 it's cuz we are always on the same page, love.

I've seen Carver's but haven't stopped, yet. Thanks for the recc, we'll do that next time we are on 40.
There's a pretty good Apple Orchard restaurant in the Smokey's as well. I believe it's in Sevierville outside of Gatlinburg.
@PICKUPTOWN The Peddler is an East TN tradition!

I grew up on the Ohio river and we love catfish!
Comfort Foods all the way around. I'm hungry. Love it. Thanks Jocelyn. Harriet and Jim from Richmond, Va.
Comfort foods are the best foods. Ps I really like Richmond!
mmmm. love a good fried catfish filet...
You and Mark can indulge next visit. I'll refrain 😉
Krystal-Chattanooga, Moon Pies-Chattanooga. Both Chattanooga based. I haven’t even gotten started on Little Debbie’s
How do you research things to do,things to see,and places to eat when you travel to different states.
Usually, the first weekend in September is the Nashville Greek Festival at the local church. It's very popular and has tasty food. Their baklava is full of honey goodness
Good to know as we are Greek Orthodox 😆
Nashville doesn't have a huge Greek population, like Chicago, New York, or Boston, but the event is very popular.
When you're at a quality food destination such as Tennessee, do yourself a favor and go to a quality place for food. There are hundreds of BBQ restaurants in Tennessee but not all of them are of the quality shown here in this video.
That hot chicken is no joke.

Sounds good...also an inventive chef!👍👍
Please tell me about something called 'dry rub' without bbq or other sauces...

What happened to pickled crow gizzards, grits and jowls and possum soup?
