   I would say Gourmet’s Mar­ket although I don’t know how big of a secret it is. I recently dis­cov­ered their french toast and now have an addiction.

   I’m not say­ing any­more. I don’t want all my fave lit­tle spots to get too well-known.

   But shame­less plug for Cos­mos Cafe (Gourmet Mar­ket) (brunch), Sassy Ann’s (dance music), Time Warp Tea Room (hot choco­late) and Ms. Goodstuff’s Cafe (sand­wiches) on Wood­land Ave.

   Well… this place isn’t in Knoxville, but it is in Lenoir City which I think is close enough. It is in down­town Lenoir City near the post office. La Lupita is the name. It has authen­tic his­panic food and gro­ceries. There is a small restau­rant in the back and the help doesn’t speak Eng­lish. I just always go there and ask for the “BIG Bur­rito”. It is really good!

   Good stuff, guys! Def­i­nitely agree about Gourmet Market/Cosmos. Will have to check out Goodstuff’s and La Lupita — I’ve never heard of those! Here’s a few more:

   - Ali Baba’s Time Out Deli (not a secret really, but def under­rated, IMO)
    – Holy Land Deli on Suther­land
    – The Round-Up Restau­rant in SoKno (great nan­ner pudding!)

   La Cubana (sic) sand­wich that is at La Esper­anza at Wash­ing­ton Pike and Whit­tle Springs

   The court­yard at St. John’s Cathe­dral in downtown.

   The yard at Blount Man­sion, and the charm­ing gar­den behind the his­toric house next to Blount Man­sion — espe­cially dur­ing Dog­wood season.

   Harby’s, even though lots of folks know about it, is rather under­rated. Lost n Found Records, in the same shop­ping cen­ter. My ‘secret’ place, the place I used to go to a lunchtime when I needed some quiet, is the Lunch­box on Weis­gar­ber. Its so tucked away, most don’t know a thing about it.

    King Tut’s absolutely! I started my 30th birth­day party cel­e­bra­tion there, and it was def­i­nitely a mem­o­rable evening.

    Senor Taco is in my opin­ion the best Mex­i­can in Knoxville. It’s prob­a­bly well known by the North Knox crowd, but many times when I men­tion it to my West Knox cowork­ers, I get blank stares in return.

    501 Arthur is a great lunch spot. It’s located across the street from the his­toric fire­house in Mechan­icsville. They have sand­wiches, sal­ads, and awe­some tomato soup.
