View all City Cast Nashville episodes

City Cast Nashville food and travel contributor Margaret Littman returns with the first in a recurring series we’ll be doing on the best road trips for a weekend away from Nashville! Today, she’s telling host Grace Fuisz all about the Gatlinburg area: It’s more than just pancakes — this East Tennessee town is becoming a must-visit destination for foodies, thanks to some new high-end bistros and steakhouses. Plus, tips for how to enjoy the gateway to the Smoky Mountains as an outdoor enthusiast, and where to learn great arts and crafts skills while you’re in town. And of course, she takes us right up the road to Dollywood and the delightfully tacky tourist traps of Pigeon Forge, too. Thanks to Tecovas, our Western wear faves, for being our exclusive launch sponsor!

Read Margaret’s recent article on Gatlinburg’s Rocky Waters Inn here.
