  • Out to Lunch: Relax with lunch at Harrison's

    The husband of one of my high school classmates recommended our latest “Out To Lunch” adventure at Harrison’s Grill & Bar in Clinton.

    Nathan Stonecipher went to school in Oliver Springs and married Ellis Mae Darby from Oak Ridge. They are both members of our Oak Ridge High School, ’54-’55-’56 Reunion Committee.

  • OUT to LUNCH: Tommy’s has lots of good eats

    Readers of my “Out To Lunch” articles may remember that occasionally I like to explore unique and out-of-the-way places to eat.

    I want to thank Hugh Willett, Roane County News editor, for suggesting an “Out to Lunch” adventure at Tommy’s Over The Hill Grill. It’s in the Stop-N-Shop, just off Interstate 75 at 16571 Hwy. 72, in Loudon.

    Many times we’ve gone by what I thought was only a Stop-N-Shop market. I never realized it was what we now discovered to be – A GREAT PLACE TO EAT.
