Hungry In The Smokies
Hey Everyone! Happy happy Wednesday!

For the one’s who’ve missed on to my photographic memoir of the Smokies, you may read it all here. Trust me, it’s panoramic-ally fun!
In addition to the city’s fascinating scenic beauty, breathtaking trails n’ trekking opportunities and all things “natural”, this place also boasts about delectable Southern cuisine, locally owned restaurants serving sumptuous food and mouth-watering ethnic menu! From appetizing pancakes and crepes, heavenly hand-cut steaks to devine pizza, sandwiches, and salads – your taste-buds are in for a treat here! Best part – With hundreds of eateries to choose from, you could spend the whole year dining out in the Smokies and not eat at the same place twice! Here’s the list of our favorite 5 –
Things To Do In Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge
Hey Everyone! It’s time for some travelling updates and stories of my voyaging! Hope you all are as excited about it, as me?
Well, finally the “dry travelling spell” broke! Thanks to the weather Gods, we (Me and my Huz) were able to spread our wings and go for the much-anticipated extended weekend trip to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Yay!
One of the most popular tourist destinations, much-publicized for the “colors of the fall”, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge boasts of – fascinating scenic beauty, locally owned restaurants serving scrumptious food, Dollywood theme park and the Stampede theater (both owned by country music superstar Dolly Parton), Ober Gatlinburg (which is the only ski resort in Tennessee!), Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, Gatlinburg Sky Lift, Ripley’s Haunted Adventure, Hollywood Star Cars Museum and Anakeesta (one of the best amusement parks in Gatlinburg) to name a few, not forgetting the breathtaking trails and trekking opportunities!
Indeed a traveler’s paradise, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge sure do have so much history, fun, treks n’ trails and food to offer and LOVE!
Well, it took us 6 h 50 min to reach our destination (Pigeon Forge) from Memphis, Tennessee (Distance covered – 425.5 mi/684.7 km) via I-40 and I-40 E. With some exaggerated bends and picture-perfect scenic views – the drive gets better by the hour.
