COVER STORY
Best of Knoxville 2011
There are a lot of “best” lists out there, from local magazines, TV stations, newspapers, and websites. But when we launched the Best of Knoxville in 1994, the very concept was alien to a lot of people here: Knoxville has things that are “best?” Who knew! Since then, of course, just about every media source in town has started vying to declare things best. But the Best of Knoxville itself is still the best of the best-of-Knoxville lists, the one poll where the results reflect the will of thousands of voters. This is it: The one true Best of Knoxville.
