  • OUT to LUNCH: Italian cuisine is as close as Crossville at Genesis Grille

    Today’s “Out to Lunch” adventure is at the Genesis Italian Grille in Crossville.

    From Roane County, head west on Interstate 40, take Exit 320 and go left on Genesis Road. Turn right at the traffic light onto Interstate Drive.

    Italian Grille is a short distance, in a strip mall on the left, across from Crossville Outlet Center.

    I hope that some readers of my articles have noticed that for a few weeks “Out to Lunch” articles have not appeared in the Roane County News.
