"If I only have one meal in Knoxville, it would be at J.C. Holdway, where Chef Joseph Lenn — a James Beard Foundation Best Chef Southeast awardee — focuses on wood-fired Appalachian flavors that elevate Southern favorites like hushpuppies, pimento cheese, and chicken wings topped with Alabama white sauce, all paired with an impressive beverage list at this sun-soaked downtown destination that serves simple, familiar food done incredibly well." - Clair Lorell
