Want to enjoy food that's away from the crowds, but still near Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg? Or even steer clear of chain restaurants for a bit?
My husband & I are in the business to support our fellow family-owned and -operated small businesses in the area. Here's our tips to avoid tourist traps: 4 local restaurants along a quick scenic route - with their secret family recipes.

From the Louisiana Bayou to the Tennessee Foothills, the Buras family have caught & released a New Orleans style menu for us! PawPaw's offers authentic Cajun & Creole cuisine, both land & seafood. Specialties: Muffulettas, crawfish, po'boys, alligator bites, gumbo, + jambalaya.

Grandmother's Kitchen
