After a drive around cool old neighborhoods in North Knoxville, Brad (a.k.a. “Mr. X”) and I headed to Litton’s for lunch. It’s a Knoxville institution since 1946, but I had never been the original location. They call it the best burger in Knoxville and it gets ranked as such year after year. Well, after my lunch on Saturday, I have to agree. They cooked it medium rare. Yes, medium rare. They can do that – they grind their own meat! In addition to being a family-friendly-all-American-make-norman-rockwell-happy restaurant, it’s also a market and bakery. Not to miss out, we also ordered their famous strawberry shortcake. Yep, another fabulous day in Ktown.

Stop with this. I can't take it. I really really can't. There is no such thing as a burger like this in Africa unless it comes from my house, and those are only made with impala or ostrich... and never true cheddar cheese. BOO.
