Awesome! Thank you!

Really enjoying your videos I'm learning a lot. We vacation in Tennessee every year , we are from out-of-state. We've eaten at Paula Deen's six times, but we've only eaten dinner. Every dinner was absolutely delicious ! For dessert, I always ask for ooey gooey cake, and it has never been ooey gooey. Every time it has been extremely dry and a small piece. I can't understand it because it is so easy to make. I make that cake all the time. Give dinner another try just don't ask for the ooey gooey cake...Lol! You've opened my eyes to so many other things to do in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg that I didn't know about. Thanks!

My son and his wife said they were doing Paula Deans then Apple Barn for lunch and finishing with the Alamo Steakhouse....I told my wife I’d believe it after they’ve done it! They got to Paula’s a little later and made Breakfast then they ate lunch at Apple Barn at about 4/5 so the Steakhouse became an Ice cream! They have big servings down there! Love the food and this pod cast!

Live ur videos. Took a trip to Tennessee couple years ago for the first time. Watching ur video I wanna go back...

It's totally amazing how much effort the Americans put into the gifts, t shirt, mugs Etc ..... Amazing! We have many things in big cities like London, but they are Crazy prices! In my hometown they don't even have town t shirts or sweatshirts! Wow to say the Brits are 50 years behind the Americans is an Understatement!

I really respect her and her 2 sons for how she made a living when her son's were young in Savannah. She would make sandwiches and sell them to make money. That's what started her resturant "The Lady and Sons". The thing is that she did not stay with her true self and lost site of who she was and where she came from. Not trying to hate on her but it is what happens when some people get to big to fast.. She needs yo get back to her real roots...!! Dolly Parton is so much of whom she is. Dolly is true to her self and NEVER FORGETS WHERE SHE CAME FROM.. right there in the cabin up in the Smokey Mountains. But Dolly will tell anybody that her favorite place to eat is at a little gas station outside of Pegion Forge.

You need to try J.T. Hannah's Kitchen in Pigeon Forge if you haven't, I love the fried trout but my wife and I have yet to find anything on the menu that was not good. I was there a couple Saturdays ago and the bar tender highly recommended the ribs, he said they fall of the bone and I love ribs. I'll probably be back up there around early/mid February and definitely going to try the ribs. As always thanks for another awesome video.

You said something to Dawn about Racoons, you reminded this Brit of when he lived in West Virginia. Me and my wife heard banging in the back yard one night, I went to look and see what it was. I turned the lights on in the back yard to see a Raccoon trying to get into the trash can ....LOL I had Never seen a racoon before, he was such a friendly little guy, I stood there talking to him through the screen door while my wife was laughing her socks off at me! ....LOL We don't have Racoons in England. He was such a cool little charictor, he climbed up the tall fence and left. He probably thought why does he talk funny! ....LOL

We did Paula Dean's this past summer. We did a review and haven't ever released it lol. But our thoughts were... We decided on this for dinner in place of Old Mill on our trip. We regretted that. Not that it wasnt good, it just wasn't the country cooking. ~Dawn

7 months after you made this video, we won't visit Paula Deen's anymore. The last time we went for dinner with friends and family that were visiting. The meatloaf was awful, dry and no taste. We wish they had said the ribs were spicy, nobody liked them. Her fried chicken is good, but for 5 people, they brought out two chicken wings. Husband asked for a breast and it did't come until we were ready to pay the bill. The sides were good. The wait staff was friendly, but his hands were tied over what the kitchen does. If you're visiting, it's a must go to so you can say you were at a Paula Deen restaurant.

Emery's is my favorite! Dawn is so cute in this video! I like the length of her hair, it makes her look younger to fall loosely just beyond her shoulders. And she's a giggler!!!

Looked a little to expensive for us plus we could never be able to re-order! All you can eat isn't for us! Our favorite place to eat over there, one that we Drive about an hour just to go to, is The Pancake Pantry in Gatlinburg! Been going there for almost 30 years! Best burgers in town! We go at least 3-4 times a year, just to eat there! Prices are reasonable too! Have you ever eaten there? Keep up your fun work!

The evening meal when we went (June2019) was a wreck. The only two dishes that my husband and I liked were meatloaf and the collard greens. The corn casserole/pudding was dry and hard, chicken was cold and catfish was greasy. I have two of PD's cookbooks and could fix better at home than her PF restaurant. Sorry. If you get a chance, try The Local Goat! It was a hit and it is locally owned!

We had the heavy rain today too. It changed over to snow a few hours ago. Suppose to get couple of inches of snow. We have been under a flood warning for 2 hours now. Crazy weather. We ate lunch at Paula Deen's a little after it opened. The food was way too salty for our liking. I have heard others rave about the bacon. We will need to try breakfast there to get some of that bacon. They should give you at least 2 pieces of bacon each to start with since it is the only breakfast meat you had. I love that 5 & 10 cent store. We are always there when it is so crowded that you can hardly see anything.

You should have told them to bring you the correct bacon, since it’s all you could eat anyhow. We ate at margaritaville when we were there. Nice area the island, lots of stores and the shuttle from the parking lot was a plus also. Please take your hat off when you eat in a restaurant, it’s disrespectful, maybe I’m old school.

You guys are so fun to watch. I’m a local also and have been to most of these places but your videos are still nice to see. Couple of comments, I would have kicked a fit when the Paula Dean all you can eat casserole and bacon were not refilled. Also a suggestion for a place to visit is the ironworks place (on the Parkway near light 8 or 10?) where you can make your own knife. They have you heat it, pound it, someone sharpens it - but looked to be something most people wouldn’t otherwise get to experience. Hope to run into you, and keep up the fun visits around the area.
