We had Full Service BBQ catered for our rehearsal dinner. The BBQ sauce was very good. Full Service operate out of a small old gas station!

It was a nice coincidence that my wedding photographers studio was a stones throw away from The Cupcakery and Cities Cupcakes.

It was in a posh looking strip mall

Alex tried a chocolate covered pretzel. My dad and I got some of their gelato. The one we went to did a $1 special of one item each day of the week. The day we went was a $1 for a scoop of gelato.

This isn’t a good picture. We had a nice box of 3 chocolate truffles with a gold bow for our wedding favors.

There are a lot of chain restaurants where I was in Tennessee (the local places are all great BBQ joints) but I never get to go to these places so it was great! I did find a few gems though. I had this really great Monte Cristo sandwich at Cheddar’s.

One of my favorite places we went was the Apple Barn in Pigeon Forge. They make pies, candy, wine, jams and pretty much sell every apple knick knack you can think of.

I went back on our last night for just dessert. I’m going to lay off the fried foods for awhile I think…

On my way to Tennessee!? Gosh, this all looks delicious!
Wow, those deep fried oreos look so good! I'm curious though … what happens to the cookies, do they stay crisp or do they get soggy from the heat?
They were hot and crisp suprisingly!
1.) OMG! I got into the rocking chairs at the Knoxville airport and nearly missed my flight to Denver.
2.)I love the Jackie Chan shampoo thats so weird! Is that Chairman Mao's endorsement at the top?
3.) You live in England, you can't escape the fried food. Deep fried mars bars and fish & chips FTW!
