I love the scenery but haven't been because of the crowds in Gatlinburg. The food looked good. Thanks for sharing. God bless.

Lots to see in the Black Hills of South Dakota where Mount Rushmore is. I spent 4 or 5 days there a few years ago. Beautiful area. You need to go.

What a beautiful fun day 😊

Dawn, Mount Rushmore was a lifelong dream for my husband. A dream we forfilled last September ( 2023). Words cannot describe how magestic it was to see in person. We also did Custer state park, did Needles hwy, the Wildlife loop ( prarie dogs, lots of Bison and deer) finished with Iron Mountain road where one of the tunnels frames Mt Rushmore as you exit it. Fantastic vacation. We also drove to Deadwood and to Devils Tower in Wyoming ( not far from Mt Rushmore). Fantastic vacation and we highly recommend it!

Food looked good.

So good

South Dakota iis a faulous trip. So much to see from the Badlands to Mt. Rushmore to Crazy Horse. Well worth it. Go

Food looked great. The scenery is so beautiful and the music was great as well when we were there. Love the adventures in the smokies. God bless and safe travels.

Beautiful day you picked a good time to go.

I think the Chicago dog and taco looked delicious. What a great way to have a wonderful memorial day thanks for sharing.❤❤❤

Our son and daughter-n-law were in Pigeon Forge for their Anniversary this past week. They stayed at our favorite place, The Inn at Christmas Place. They went into Gatlinburg on Wednesday and spent the day at Anakeesta. They hated they missed this tasting event.

We are going to Mt Rushmore in september

Anakeesta looks beautiful. I'll have to try it next time I come to Gatlinburg. Keep up the good work 👍 👏

Thanks for sharing Anakeesta and the United Tastes of America. We are headed back to the Smokies in June for some camping, 5 days in TN and 5 days in NC. Thanks for the suggestions on how to navigate the event.

Have fun!

Will.. just curious 🤔 You said you can't do lobster; is it that you just don't like it, or are you allergic to seafood/shellfish?

I believe it is because he is allergic

I like the decorations

Love this video! Thanks Will and Dawn!! I want to come back so bad 😢🎉❤❤🙌🙌☀️🥰

Seattle gal here, happy to see Washington State represented and that apple fritter looks like da bomb!

Happy Memorial Day Guys! Always enjoy seeing yall!😊

Love your Channel Guys! Hope to someday go up to Tennesse and meet up with you! Keep up the good work.

Same!

Anakeesta is classy. That Italian beef look good, but that Chicago dog did too. Yep, busy and crowded memorial day weekend

Thanks for showing us anakeesta. Always crowded, but so nice to see

Awesome vlog Dawn and Will. Anakeesta and the food looks great.

Su fun!

This is a cool idea. The food and view looked amazing. Is Annakesta open in February? Is it similar to Skyland Ranch but without animals? I'm curious if Skyland Ranch might start doing a festival similar to this one. I would love to see you guys review the dinner show at Skyland Ranch. I would love to see a taste of the Smokies festival offered maybe in the fall or winter or to bring in people during the off season.

👋😃🕊

Have a great Memorial Day weekend 💕

Happy Memorial Day Everyone! Stay safe and make lots of great memories! What a fun afternoon! Hugs from Maumee!

Happy memorial Day love you guys. Bob and Barbara Bicknell ❤

Thank you! You too!

OMG...we were there too and wanted to see you guys. We watch all your videos and was hoping to bump into you both. We stayed at margaritaville in gatlinburg and walked the strip all weekend.

Hi there 👋 Will and Dawn 😁

I averaged it out it was about $8 for each one. Thanks for sharing

Happy Memorial Day,God bless you both!

Happy Memorial Day

That's such a fun idea , wish we had something like that here and what an amazing view

Hello from Tullahoma Tennessee

Thanks for sharing

Mt Rushmore is awe inspiring! You should definitely see it👍🏼 Also, it would be cool if you could travel to some of the old mining ghost towns. Those would make some awesome historical videos😊 Have a blessed Memorial Day🙏

I love peach ice cream.

what a funn weekend...i would love to participate! ❤🇺🇸💖

I'm scared of heights so I would probably have to do the rambler

Sledgehammered that like button sharing out full watch Great video as always Happy Memorial day

Loved the views and that food…..oh my goodness it looked really really good especially that ice cream..thank you Will and Dawn for this fun visit glad y’all took us along!!!😊💕

Anakeesta looks like a really cool place. We have never been. On one of our future trips we need to get up there. That United Tastes of America looked like a great festival. The Chicago Dog and the Georgia Peach Ice Cream both looked amazing to me. Thanks for taking us all along g on this smoky mountain adventure.

Sounds great!

You got there at the right time. The people are coming now and you are leaving. Great timing. I would do the same thing. The food looked really good. I could not all that food. I would have to share with my husband. Have a wonderful weekend. God Bless.

I think all States should have been on the tasting pass.

The food looked delicious! That sure looks like a beautiful place!

Great video. With the annual pass do you have to go to ticket window for arm band before going up.. thanks I just dont want to wait in long line lol

It costs 2 people 90 bucks just to get to the top! 35x2 plus 20 for parking.Then you pay through the nose once you get up there....Not a fan. But I am a fan of Will and Dawn! Thank's guys!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend to you Will and Dawn! I've been to Mount Rushmore and it's soooooo awesome and cool! Everything y'all looked so yummy and delicious and especially the ice cream! Thank you for taking me along with you! Can't wait till your next vlog. Love y'all!❤️

Fun to watch. Thanks 😊

Miss guys 5 hours ago 😢😮 taste of food and other I love it this video 😊thanks you for showing everything 😊

The Statue of Li"bear"ty!!

Will, can you please show us what line and where to go if we get our tickets online or if we have season passes. I got online tickets last year and waited over an hour in the hot sun. I think I must have missed the fast line. Thanks

Will & Dawn... Didn't they have a choice between seafood gumbo and chicken & sausage gumbo??

@@yankeeinthesouth I understand, but check next time because there's usually a choice. Honestly, the chicken & sausage gumbo is often better. 😊👍

Really enjoyed your video, keep up the good work!

Thanks, will do!

This was soooo exciting to watch. I could barely contain myself 🐻

15:40 What's with the fairies? 😅

Chicago Beefs, my city! 😍 the hot dogs always come with a sport pepper & mustard only, no ketchup.

Hello,Will and Dawn.Jan from Sylacauga,Alabama.

Ooo, for my money, New Mexico has the best sounding offerings! Crowds didn't look too bad. Odd that any state with alcohol wasn't on the tasting pass list, yet California wasn't excluded despite its only offering being a wine based frozen drink. Oops!

I guess that was the Statue of Li-bear-ty. LOL

🍨🍑😋👍

Hello. I really liked this video but I did not like the food Texas was represented with. That so called chicken fried steak was a frozen meat that was over cooked. A Texas fan!

$56 each of you?

That seems like a rip off for what u get

Their food tasting isn’t nearly as good as Dollywood! Too much beer, not enough savory dishes!

Mount Rushmore was a big disappointment,nice to see,but it’s in the middle of nowhere,and there is absolutely nothing else to do there other then look at the monument

Chicago style is pretty close to the real thing, looks to be missing celery salt, relish is always a neon green and should be white onions, is there mustard on it and sport peppers? That beef sandwich looks like nothing you’ll get in Chicago! Thats look nasty

Now I'm craving bbq chicken the other day i bought myself some blues hug Tennessee red BBQ sauce sill haven't use it yet.

I love all the videos you all take y'all have fun at Fair
