Will Ride To Eat – By Ron Giddis 23 Biker Friendly Directory

By Ron Giddis

We finally found another great place for you to eat the next time you visit our area here in Sevier County, TN. Junction 35 Spirits is the first distillery in this location to also offer a kitchen and bar at the same address.

Junction 35 Spirits is bringing a long-time family tradition to the public with recipes straight from the hills of the Smoky Mountains. All of the food coming out of the kitchen is cooked to order. Starting with the appetizers, Tennessee Poutine is one of my favorites so far. It is rosemary fries, topped with Poutine Gravy and Wisconsin fried cheese curds. For the smoked wings, there is a large variety of sauces. The one I just had to try was the Blackberry Moonshine sauce, it was delicious. Their Angus burgers are a blend of chuck and brisket. The one that caught my eye comes with a house made pimento cheese, bacon jam, caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles. There is also a great variety of entree’s and Artisan Pasta’s. If you are eating light, they also offer some salads. To finish the meal, how about some made from scratch desserts; Almond Cheesecake, S’mores Chocolate Cake and Bourbon Balls. Everything is made to deliver great taste even to the most discerning palates.

But don’t take my word for it, the next time you’re in our area, stop in and try it for yourself. Junction 35 Spirits Distillery – Kitchen & Bar is located at 2655 Teaster Lane in Pigeon Forge, TN. Their phone number is (865) 365-1019 and you can check out the menu at www.junction35spirits.com
