HOT DOGS + CUPCAKES AND OTHER MATCHES MADE IN KNOXVILLE

Marriages come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and in Knoxville those shapes and sizes sometimes seem even a little quirkier than your common couple.


DRIVE THROUGH HOT DOGS AND GOURMET CUPCAKES
(Is this the next craze or does it mean cupcakes are on their way out?)


CHEERLEADERS AND NURSING HOME -Go team!

















EVER THINK OF MIXING SUSHI WITH FARMSCAPE?

They have in Knoxville.  We had quite a laugh when our GPS leading us to sushi, brought us to a barn.
SUSHI ON THE FARM
What was more shocking than entering a stable to eat Sushi?  Answer: The idea of ordering Greek food in a Japanese restaurant.  Anaba restaurant is the union of Japanese and Greek cuisine.  With menu offerings of seaweed and fish next to hummus, falafel and curry, if this had been our first Japanese cuisine experience we may have left with confused expectations.

WE DID ASK OUR WAITER ABOUT THE WHOLE JAPAN/GREEK UNION THING.  CLICK BELOW TO HEAR HIS ANSWER




AND FINALLY THE MATCH WE THOUGHT THE MOST ODD: 
 PUBLIC PARK MEETS PSYCIATRIC INSTITUTION

Lake Shore Park offers 60 acres of paved exercise trails, ball diamonds, and soccer fields, all surrounding the Lakeshore Mental Health Institute which is a 140 bed Psychiatric Hospital (We have heard some great stories, but we only repeat those in person).




JOGGING WALKING/TRAILS WHERE PEOPLE CAN OFTEN BE SEEN POUNDING THE PAVEMENT







THE FENCED IN AREA WHERE PATIENTS OF THE INSTITUTE EXCERCISE





We think they could improve this match by offering "Haunted Grounds" for Halloween...
