I'm not talking about one or two scattered here and there there seems to be a restaurant specializing in pancakes on every block.īeing the nation's only part-time investigative food journalist and full-time eater, I decided to go on a mission to find out what is behind this culinary anomaly and which of the many pancake houses served the best pancakes (what else was I to do all week go to Dollywood?).
I noticed something strange while driving through town on my first day there are an inordinate number of pancake restaurants. It is a town in dire need of restrictive building covenants and an architectural review board. A friend had told her, "What Aspen is to the Rockies, Gatlinburg is to the Smokies." WRONG! Gatlinburg is littered with goofy golf courses, go-cart tracks, airbrush T-shirt shops and a Sansabelt factory-outlet store. My wife talked me into a spring break trip to Gatlinburg.
If Destin is the Redneck Riviera, then Gatlinburg is the Hillbilly Alps.
