This is my go to list of must haves in any home kitchen. Avoid the cheap useless stuff thats gonna sit in the back of your cabinets and drawers forever. These items will make cooking easier and last a long time. Invest in quality and take care of your equipment and it will last you a long time.

After over 20 years cooking professionally these are some of my favorite cookbooks. The list is always evolving and always growing.

Here is a curated list highlighting the top eateries and must-do activities in the Tri-Cities region of Tennessee, which includes Kingsport, Johnson City, and Bristol. This region charms visitors with a blend of excellent dining, cultural exploration, history, and outdoor adventure.

The best restaurants that I've discovered in the 2 years and counting that I've been in East Tennessee
