When we had told Garrett Faulkner that we were going to Gatlinburg, he told us that we had to go to “The Pancake House.” So, on our way out, were were looking for this famous restaurant. Well, these people must love their pancakes because there were about 20 places in town that served pancakes. We couldn't call Garrett to clarify because he just deployed for a couple of weeks and it was too early in the morning to call his wife, Kristin. So, we picked one of the few with the name Pancake House in the name. As soon as we walked in, we were fairly sure that it wasn't the right place, but we stayed and ate anyway. I got pancakes with Tennessee blueberries because it only seemed appropriate. It was good, but not quite the best I've ever had.
We arrived in Hopkinsville, KY tonight to stay with Garrett's folks. When we mentioned Garrett's recommendation, they said that it's actually called The Pancake Pantry. We were WAY off. We missed the greatest pancake house, I guess. At least we know for next time.
We made up for it with a delicious Mrs. Faulkner dinner. My oh my. I had heard wonderful things about her cooking and it turned out to be as good as it had been talked up to be. We had biscuits, roast, corn, beans, mac and cheese, etc etc etc! And then apparently we have great cake to look forward to tonight as well. Wow. Can we stretch out this stay a bit longer? Ha!
