Grub Scout: Down-home favorites reside at Kitts Cafe in North Knoxville

Story by Grub Scout

It's not often that I get up into the northeast regions of the Knoxville metro area, so once Kitts Cafe wound up on my radar, I made it a priority to focus some attention on an often-ignored corner of the local restaurant world. The Spouse tagged along for a lunch outing, and we found Kitts easily enough, not far from Knoxville Center mall.

Bobby Womack makes his return with 'Bravest Man'

Story by CHRIS TALBOTT - AP Entertainment Writer (AP)

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Bobby Womack has been frustrated. He's relaunching his career after what amounts to a two-decade, self-imposed exile and he can't get his doctor to cooperate. There's so much to do, Womack says in a gravelly voice, which has aged like the most expensive single-malt whiskey. Yet his doctor has ordered him to shut down for nearly two weeks — an eternity for a restless man seeking a rare second act at age 68.

The University of Tennessee campus has never been a particularly easy place to park. But then again, what major college campus is? Tow-truck drivers lurk like bottom-feeding catfish, rightfully earning their living, but menacing poor college students by forcing them to pay cash after walking blocks to an ATM at 3 a.m. Eventually, I found a spot near McAlisters Deli.
