Discover Knoxville
The mid-sized city of Knoxville sits amidst the ample hills and curving roads of East Tennessee. It is located just under 200 miles southeast of Nashville. Many restaurants allow casual dress, but you might wish to don semi-formal attire for the choices of fine dining that Knoxville has to offer. Knoxville chefs are proud of their comfort foods, such as grits and macaroni and cheese, which are popular throughout the South. Conversely, common urban dishes such as steak and cheese hoagies also abound in these hills. If you wish, you can finish your meal with a latte or a glass of wine.
