Everything west of Bearden Hill was essentially farmland with no restaurants when I was growing up. There was a bootlegger at Dixie Lee Junction. Bearden High was a county school. So whatever shape of the earth you talk about, places west of Bearden only grew food, not prepare it.
I ate mett and beans, white of course, at the Brass Rail on the designated day of the week, but alas no one has kept this tradition on the menu.
After decades of gorging on fast food chains, most of the creative and unique private ownerships have been put out of business.
Often I eat at the Handy Dandy on South Haven Road in South Knoxville and have their full house occasionally. Their tamalies are locally made, not from a can.
How about a tamale and full house festival and see what happens?
