"I'm looking forward to the fall opening of Guy Fieri’s Cherokee Kitchen + Bar at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort in Cherokee, North Carolina; the new 200-seat restaurant will showcase many of Fieri’s signature dishes, including the bacon mac‑n‑cheese burger with Donkey Sauce, bourbon brown sugar barbecue wings, and pulled pork sandwiches. Though billed as a casual dining concept, the dining room renderings lean upscale rustic‑chic with antler chandeliers, leather banquettes, and cowhide chairs, and Fieri—who became familiar with western North Carolina while filming Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives—says he’s “stoked” to contribute to the Smoky Mountains food scene." - Erin Perkins
