Happy birthday Mike!! We always love eating at Cracker Barrel!! I worked for them 7 years and never got tired of eating there. Especially for breakfast. We went to Grandmother’s kitchen a couple of years ago for lunch. We were excited bc of the name. We thought we would get home cooking. Instead everything tasted like they took it out of a can and popped it in the microwave. We were very disappointed.

Happy BIrthday Mike, hope you had a good one and what great gifts you got 2 knives, can't get any better than that.... Wears Valley and Townsend are our two favorite places to be... Grandmothers Kitchen has been for sale so maybe someone bought it but has not opened yet?????? we were there last month and it was not opened...but we like eating there and Elvira's , their food is really good and they used to put on your receipt a %10 discount if you come back... also Mountain Brothers is always a must for us too, we always find something to buy there... also have had coffee at Heavenly Roast and it was delicious... we will be coming next week for our 46 th wedding anniversary and staying in a cabin up in the Homestead in Wears Valley... Hoping to see you guys out and about ...

Mike i know you're not from the south, and never had chocolate coca cola cake! And theirs is really good too! Not as good as my mamas but pretty good! Sometimes i do a to go order from our local cracker barrel just for a piece of this cake! You gotta love chocolate, and it's very sweet! Eat it warm, and its heavenly!

Did you try the Coca Cola cake? If not you really should. It is the bomb!! The coca cola flavor in the cake just adds something unmatched in any other chocolate cake. And the frosting is like the best fudge you have ever had. Give it a try. I don't think you will regret it!
