Flavor Town looks like a ton of fun. They've made that area look like so much fun. We'll be returning in July from KC. Can't wait to see all the new additions. Thanks for all you guys do.

[@ericsoderquist3969]

Next time you two go there, could you please go inside the bee store? I’m curious what’s inside there🤗🤪😬

[@Jmerrill]

You should definitely go the next time you’re in town! We buy our hot honey there. We put it on our wings and pizza.

[@wynonastroud6525]

Dawn! Your salad was definitely not really a salad. I laughed too, hehe

[@yankeeinthesouth]

😁

Left Ocean City, MD on Sat , Aug. 5th and drove straight to Dollywood. Got to see the drone and fire works show. It was awesome. OC, MD now has a fancy milkshake stand on their boardwalk. I was in RI in the early 1980's and toured the Biltmore Mansion. Those mansions are amazing. Glad to see you are back home. Rest up. It took me until Wed. to recoup from the long drive.❤

[@laurafoote214]

2 years ago in 2021 we left illinois for the Smoky Mountains, then drove straight through Virginia to Ocean City Maryland, my first seeing the Atlantic Ocean, it was heaven, i love the seaside 🤗

[@keithsanders2792]

Many moons ago when it was Belz Mall there were quite a few shops. Then after a few years shops started closing up. Glad to see that building coming back around again under new name and I assume new management. Good job gang, thanks for sharing your visit.

[@richardadams7723]

Love seeing that you have included a review of the Junction 35 Restaurant. I love their infused Cherries, and the Apple Pie Moonshine goes great with Arizona Green Tea.

[@richardadams7723]

DO NOT try the Majestic Unicorn!!! You have been Warned...

[@ronniecoleman3365]

If I could move there I would love that place

[@jermar1979]

Thanks for the updates!

[@evinrude1236]

Always something new coming to Pigeon Forge. 👍

[@peacemaker8971]

We were at Junction 35 2 weeks ago when we were in the Smokies for 3 weeks!! Great food and brews!

[@dawnwillinger3409]

Love the moonshine personalized bottles!

[@kitkatv333]

Y'all I enjoyed this! I have been sick and trying to move for the third time in two years! I'm almost 64. Too old for this lol. I am slowly but surely trying to catch up with y'all. Your adventures wherever they are always make me smile and just relax and enjoy for awhile. Thanks for being you! Much love from back out in the country in my beautiful home state of Kentucky! 💚🧡

[@Rhondagail]

Thanks for showing me the giftshops 😊

[@beckyleheny8636]

AZUL means "Blue" in Spanish. Did you notice anything relating to blue in the Restaurant?

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Yes

[@wmotjazz89]

Wow, they got more businesses there now! I have been to that winery for a tasting in the past a couple of times. I went to Bucees in Crossville just over two weeks ago in Crossville on the way to Nashville then back again on the way home to Knoxville. I got me a Bucees T shirt and some gas and it was a nice place! The bathrooms were nice too. Thanks for sharing!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Very cool!

[@zabajart]

Awesome adventure We spent a lot of time in Gatlinburg we need to adventure in Pigeon Forge next time to the new shops 😊

[@amybutler9886]

That’s interesting Sunnyland Farms is opening a store. They are a family-owned Georgia pecan business. I have ordered nuts and candy from them through mail order for many years. Maybe you can show it to us when it opens. Thanks!

[@melissabibby7310]

[@laurariddle9394]

Yay, y’all are home to the GSM. We follow y’all always and sooo love your channel. We lived near in Asheville for all our life and always vacationed to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg growing up. Hubby retired from Asheville Police Department after 31 years and we moved to Florida but head y’alls way yearly. So when we come up in the next couple of months let’s meet up for lunch! 🥰 We used to have 5th wheels x 10 years but have downsized to a Tiffin Wayfarer 25 ft. Our daughter is special needs and loves RV’n.

[@dianneC1979]

Yay

[@wandafields1060]

I laughed when dawn started laughing about the salad, but it really looked good 👍

[@loricarter4175]

I was waiting for you to try the swing.😊

[@bubbascruise]

I’m a big fan of cinnaholic and think it’s under rated nice folks and the cinnastack where you customize if is to die for. I;m the opposite on crumble cookies I’ve had some which are worth the $4, but to many of them aren’t to go back.

[@ejhslots]

I love lady caves...

[@flarearrow9808]

Will and Dawn, Since you cover jeep invasion in the Smokie Mountains year after year..... Have you ever given it some thought to participate in a Jeep Jamboree event with Ole Yellow??? Or even travel to Moab and check out Jeep Easter Safari?

[@ashleigh6219]

That Brisket is amazing. We tried it out a couple weeks ago.

[@Debra113]

Will, sometimes it doesn't really matter if the food is good but the presentation on your brisket plate was lacking. 😏
