You had fried bologna in mountain city?

Oh heck yes! But usually just ate it as a cold cut. There was a gas station in Butler that we would visit when we were going fishing at Watauga Lake. They would slice you a piece of bologna to the thickness of your choice. Put it between a pair of full size saltines with a slice of cheese. Heaven on earth.

Fried bologna (cooked until it’s darkened around the edges), fresh slice of tomato, and mayo on white bread is hard to beat.

I've eaten at the store in Butler.
A friend, who had lots of money, said he was going to take to lunch at his favorite place on the way to his place in Buladean, NC. We stopped at this service station and he got us bologna sandwiches cut about 3/4 inches thick on white bread. But it was delicious. I reckon he took me there because I'm sure his wife never ate there with him.

Ah yes...but how many little cuts in the side should there be?

That's what determines good vs great for me.

(Not really, but I just remember my grandmother was very specific about it for some reason)

At the risk of taking this thread even more off topic, my Dad always swore the best fried bologna sandwich he ever had was at a gas station right off the interstate in Bucksnort, TN. He traveled a lot for work and would stop there every time he drove through. It must be a gas station thing.

I spent my youth trying to get out of Mountain City. Now I'd kill for lunch at a rural east Tennessee gas station or drug store.
I don't get back much since Mom died but not much had changed the last time I visited.

There is a restaurant there, can't think of the name, that has a world-renowned chef that requires reservations. The first time I heard this I said you must have the wrong Mountain City. We are talking the Mountain City not a mountain city. But a lot of friends go there for special events.

No kidding. That's very interesting.

For a brief period of time, Knoxville had an internationally known Chinese chef who was chef at a Kingston Pike restaurant in a strip mall with a TJ Maxx, Sally Beauty and Home Goods. Guy apparently moves around wherever and whenever frequently.

Where’s Chang?

Foodies found the chef of their dreams. But, like a lot of the people who inhabit dreams, this chef had a tendency to disappear.
