Tennessean- "The Knoxville Compass"

Everyone knows the directions of a compass; North, South, East, and West.

If you were to go to the center of knoxville and think, "which direction should I go?" I highly recommend you go west. If you are not familiar with "greater" knoxville (and its far from great) For each direction I will give you; 1) people most likely to see 2) best food

**I will say that knoxville has some amazing places to eat. In fact Knoxville has the highest amount of places to eat per capita in the US.?

North Knoxville;
1) "less fortunate" (i dont want to get sued)---but trashy
2) Doub D's BBQ; amazing staff, great karoke, and truly redneck experience. They also have fried bologna/ hot dogs. There BBQ is fresh pulled and you get a good "helpin"
3) If you stay on that road long enough you will run into "redneck honeymoon hotspot"-gatlinburg tn.

East Knoxville;
1) has the highest crime rate in knoxville
2) Chandlers; extremely authentic soul food---ridiculous portions--i highly advise to go there during the daytime.

West Knoxville;
1) upperclass, educated, outdoorsy people running their dogs and drinking water from a kanteen.
2) tons of great places to eat : Long's, Soccer Taco, Mama Blues (ill write about it again)

South Knoxville;
1) basically the same as north knoxville, but there are a couple of nicer parts (halls, powell)
2) wishbones chicken. there are multiple locations but this one does it right.

**Downtown Knoxville will be covered later at some point
