There is a Korean restaurant in Brentwood, TN that is hidden in between a bunch of building. I had driven past Soy Bistro many times without realizing it was there. I wasn’t until I was watching Diners, Drive-ins, And Dives and they featured the restaurant that I realized where they were located. The next time I visited Brentwood, I made sure to stop by. They had just opened for lunch and there was already a line out the door. Inside it is kind of small, there are not that many tables. Luckily by the time I ordered a table had…

There are several great bars and restaurants in downtown Chattanooga. I have tried several of them during my trips there. It was recommended that I check out The Pickle Barrel on my most recent visit. It is a corner building that has a cool look. There is a spiral staircase that you can climb to get to their roof top seating. The staircase is a little scary when you come down because your eyes play tricks on you. The views are great from the roof top. You can watch the hustle and bustle on the street or look at the…
Leave a CommentYears ago, I was visiting Memphis, Tennessee and had some of the best fried chicken at Gus’s. They are a Memphis institution. When I visited recently, I wanted to go back. To my surprise they had a new location. It was a bigger restaurant, and it was packed when I got there. Their menu is still simple, but there is no reason to complicate it. I got a 2pc white meal that was a breast and wing. You can pick two sides to go with the chicken. I went for the baked beans and potato salad. My boyfriend got different…

Leave a CommentJohnson City is one of three cities in Eastern Tennessee know as the Tri-Cities. Their quaint downtown is seeing a resurgence of development with an array of shops, restaurants, and breweries. It is also not far from the campus of East Tennessee State University. One of the restaurants in the heart of downtown is Freiberg’s. It is an authentic German restaurant making classic dishes from scratch. When you walk through the doors, it feels like you are transported to a restaurant in Germany. As soon as we were seated the waitress brought us some homemade fresh bread with a dill…
2 CommentsThere is a neighborhood market that serves up homemade foods, snacks, and ice cream. Brentwood Market & Deli offers items that are already prepared, or they can be orders hot and fresh. They have picnic tables inside the market that you can sit at and enjoy some food. I ordered a chili cheese dog. They make a homemade chili that they covered the grilled hotdog with. They sprinkled shredded cheddar cheese on top so that it would melt. There was no way I could pick up this hotdog. It would have been so messy. I ate it with a knife…
Leave a CommentI was looking for a great place to have brunch in Chattanooga. It was recommended that I check out Stir. They were very busy when I walked in the door. Luckily, I found seats at the bar. I was excited to find out that they had $1.00 mimosas. This was clearly a popular item because they kept popping bottles of champagne all morning. Their brunch menu was interesting. They had classic breakfast items but also some unique dishes. I was excited to try the Breakfast Chicken Piccata. Chicken piccata is one of my favorite Italian dishes so I could not…
Leave a CommentChattanooga is a fun town that keeps growing every year. There is a fun Southern restaurant downtown called Flying Squirrel. They have a unique menu that I felt had an Asian influence in dishes and flavors. There were several items on the menu that came highly recommended. The Charred Cauliflower were cut into bite size pieces that were breaded in a spicy chili batter and deep fried till crispy. They covered the cauliflower in a sweet ginger cream. The ginger flavor was subtle but helped sooth the heat from the chilis in the batter. They tossed the cauliflower with toasted…

The crust had a great crunch and charr on it because of the fire…
