Check a AAA or similar to verify it's still there but it so, try the Cross-exed Cricket outside of Lenoir City TN. This is in East Tenness, perhaps 35 miles from Knoxville. It's an old mill on a pond with trout and catfish. You can catch your own dinner or they'll catch it for you. Great outdoor setting. And leave room for the chocolate pecan (or was it walnut?) pie!

a trip to Bellis Botel, an old corps of engineer's quarterboat that sits overlooking the TN river and serves up the best cat- fish and hushpuppies this side of heaven!  you can even stay overnight in one of their rustic rooms or cabins or in their RV site.  if you are anywhere near, it would be worth your time. they are closed on monday.  phone 901-925-4787  see you there!
