Update (12/18/08): After receiving a number of valid comments that I’m looking unfavorably on certain parts of Knoxville, I’ve decided to write a follow-up entry to this one with my current view of living in Knoxville.

Taste Testing New Belgium at The Pizza Kitchen
As many of you know, two of my favorite things are pizza and beer. In fact, Knoxify was the first Knoxville blog to post about Fat Tire coming to Ktown. All this goodness comes together at the Pizza Kitchen on December 4, as New Belgium comes to town for a taste test offering free pint[…] Read More »
Sawyer’s Loses Its Greatness
No more paper towels. No more pellet-shaped ice. Coleslaw recipe change. No customer service. Has Sawyer’s lost it’s greatness? For nearly 9 years I have always enjoyed Sawyer’s for their “never frozen” chicken fingers, famous Sawyer’s sauce and laid back atmosphere. But that all changed last week.

KFQ: Best Coffee Shop in Knoxville
Back in January, Patrick Beeson wrote one of the most popular posts to ever grace the front page of Knoxify, Coffee and Chocolate sets par for Knoxville coffee shops.

Cupcakes Galore
If you are paying attention, you have noticed cupcakes everywhere now a days. So, Rose Kennedy’s article about Knoxville’s cupcake trend caught my attention in last week’s The Metro Pulse. My roommate is an avid baker and true cupcake-lover (she has been raving about Williams-Sonoma cupcakes since Christmas). I decided to get in on the trend[…] Read More »
