Cool Beans (and Burgers and Hot Sauce)

Bush Beans began in in Chestnut Hill, TN, in 1908 when A.J. Bush opened a cannery. Today Bush uses 25% of the navy bean crop in the United States. We enjoyed their free museum and were eager to try their pinto bean pie at their onsite cafe. As an acquaintance said, it should be called pinto bean pecan pie because it tastes like a pecan pie. The cafe is only open for lunch. Plan accordingly. 

Just like Mom's!

Guy Fieri and his Triple D restaurants have been a part of our travels. The TV Food Map website is one of the first things Harold checks when we're looking for a place to eat. Pigeon Forge has one of Guy's Flavortown restaurant. So, of course we had to try it. The burgers were monstrous!

Bacon Mac & Cheese Burger

Pepper Palace has its manufacturing facility in Sevierville. They're expanding. Consequently, the kitchen is closed for tours. Their free hot pepper museum in Gatlinburg was open though.
