2. List out your top 5 favorite places to eat at your location. (full disclosure: I don’t eat out much).
• Kaya -a Korean joint in West Knoxville. I recommend the pork bulgogi and all the kimchi you can eat. I spent part of my formative years near the Korean district on the island of Oahu. I learned very early to love Korean food. This place has good food and always reminds me of sitting at a restaurant in Oahu called Peach Garden when I was 8 years old with my family. Same small feel, same style of food.
• My house – Probably cheating but the meme says places to eat and not restaurants. I love to cook (see). And I cook it all. And I cook it on everything (grill, smoker, oven, stove, hole in the ground, you name it). And my family (immediate and extended) love to come by Casa de Uncle whenever I break out the grub. My wife says I make the best burgers on Earth. I dunno about that but they’re pretty damn good.
• Murphy’s Wings and Ale – Blount County’s little pub. $0.99 drafts and excellent wings. I recommend their Irish jerk wings which are tangy, hot and sweet. And they have a lot of premium beers on draft. The $0.99 is called Murphy’s Brew but their staff tells me it’s Miller High Life.
• Metro Pizza – The best pizza in Blount County.
• Oriental Cuisine – Good food and plentiful. I recommend the Vietnamese pork, which comes with an excellent vinegar based sauce.
3. Tag five others.
If you feel the need, dive right in.

Any thoughts on the Korea House? It is about a quarter mile away from Kaya.

I shall die for Kaya. The word… all you can eat kimchi… kills me. I love kimchi… I can just eat kimchi alone as a meal 😀 Lovely~
Now that you top it with pork bulgogi… okay.. it’s a must go place.
Ah.. you mention your house.. I want to try your cooking.. I want to.. I want to… hahaha… so burgers ya? Woo…. I like the sound from the sizzling grill.
THanks for your recommendations. I am still overwhelmed with the fact that… you cook so well 😀
