What’s your favorite place to eat in Knoxville?

Posted by on Jun 2, 2011 in See Authentic Knoxville | 7 comments

We all have that go to restaurant. The place where we go when there is nothing in the fridge and the idea of going to the grocery store is more than we can bear. To be honest, I have a few of those places. The Bistro at the Bijou and The Tomato Head are my indulgences. I could eat the Oh Boy sandwich every day for the rest of my life (Oh Boy – fresh spinach free farmed chicken benton’s bacon sundried tomato monterey jack poppyseed dressing mayo heated.)

    I love eating at the Palavah Hut on Magnolia Ave. It is Knoxville’s only Liberian restaurant. Most of the dishes are served with rice, whether it’s Jallof, brown or check rice. The chicken gravy is tasty and the fish kalla (fritters) are my favorite. Th ginger juice is refreshing and healthy!
