    Delicious looking deviled eggs appetizer. The hot honey shrimp looks interesting. The pimento cheese appetizer looks goooooood. 😋 Wow. The pot roast entree looks so good on video. I can imagine it must be awesome actually smelling and eating it. Broccolini is really good and it looks like they did a good job of cooking it. Great that you both gave it a try! I am glad you enjoyed all the food at Dollywood's Ember and Elm Restaurant. You both sure know how to pick some great restaurants. It is a good idea to split what you order so you can sample more menu items for your videos. 👍 It is also nice for your viewers that you tour the places you visit. You do a great job on your videos. 👍

    The pot roast here was incredible! It was full on sensory delight! So was almost everything we ate. The devilled egg appetizer was beautiful and a fun experience but some times the original recipe is the best recipe. However, the pimento cheese appetizer was really good! I don't have anything to compare it to but that broccolini was really good. We are glad you enjoy our videos. We try to sample as much as we can and each others plates and tour each place we go to give you all the most information as possible to determine if these places are worth your hard earned dollar.

    I was fascinated by the THREE types of deviled eggs. Who would have thought! I must admit I'm a little intimidated by fancy meals at fancy restaurants. Ember and Elm (I think that's the name) isn't really fancy, but their meals are. Probably expensive too. That bread pudding looked really good, too. Welcome back to the channel - I missed you two.

    I’m back, is the restaurant overly bright? Seems like the ambience is a bit off for a higher end establishment at dinner service. Also if you like the minis you can wait for the zwilling semi annual warehouse sales and order then, deeply discounted

    You're right, Dooby. Compared to the Netherland Paza Hotel's Orchids at Palm Court or other white tablecloth restaurants we have visited, I would describe the ambiance as upscale casual rather than fine dining. However, the food is a fine dining take on casual cuisine and was delicious. I will definitely check out that sale. Thanks for the tip, and thanks for watching!

Btw, Stacy I'm new to your channel and the few videos I've watched are driving me crazy. Why? The way you eat your food on the back of your fork. Even handed Matt a bite that way. 🤣 I adore your "accent" (to my ears) though.

    They might use their famous cinnamon bread they sell at the theme parks. I’ve seen videos about it, ive not been. It’s some kind of bread that everyone goes on about. Either cinnamon or apple ? Anyway I was thinking that’s maybe what they use on the bread pudding. Looks delicious!

    Everything looked delicious except the shrimp. I'm like you were with the broccoli. Someone else can have the shrimp. I will take the broccoli !! The only thing I didn't care for as the utensils directly on the table. That is the restaurant and not you. I'm a bit of a germaphobe and like mine on a clean napkin. You guys do a great job l

    We agree that some restaurants are too loud. Unfortunately, it seems to be a trend these days. Almost gone are the quiet peaceful restaurants you could relax in. Some restaurants are still quiet and peaceful, though, so hopefully, we enjoy them before they're all gone. Thanks for watching and commenting!
