This is my all time favorite pizza. It has a thick homemade crust with white and wheat options. Delicious tomato sauce that you can taste in every bite. Lots of toppings options. There is also a Stefanoes in Hardin Valley which is closer to my house. Cumberland store is the original and its near UTK.

This is a fantastic Korean restaurant near West Town Mall. I love the kimchi dolsot bibimbop. In fact, that’s what I always end up getting. Dolsot means it will come in a heated stone bowl. The hot bowl continues to heat the rice and will end up creating crunchy rice on the bottom of the dish. You can order without kimchi if you prefer. The dish itself is pretty simple but comes with 5 sides of various Korean vegetables that can be added to the bibimbop. It’s not advertised but you can ask for seconds on the sides at no charge too!

Farmacy is a farm-to-table restaurant. All of the food is locally sourced and delicious. Atmosphere is friendly, clean, and bright. They have delicious and unique takes on southern favorites. Desserts are homemade and incredible. Good brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. One of my favorites is the vitality bowl, its a bowl of grains, vegetables, and protein in a perfect mixture of textures and flavors.
