BACK SLIDING – AGAIN

The wife and I met one of her sisters and brother-in-law at Puleo’s Grille for a delicious late lunch today. Puleo’s is located at the corner of Cedar Bluff and North Peters Road in Knoxville, Tennessee. While the only dark beer on draft is Killian, their menu is varied and full of delicious entrées!

Here we are about to enjoy four different dishes – ain’t we nothing!

Neena chose the FIESTA CHICKEN TENDER SALAD - Golden fried chicken tenders glazed with a sweet chili sauce served over mixed greens and tossed with roasted corn, black beans, tortilla strips, vegetables, and creamy ranch dressing.

Ron chose the CHICKEN PICCATA - A sautéed breast of chicken topped with artichokes, capers, and tomatoes simmered in a lemon wine sauce served over linguini.

Judy had the FILET MIGNON PASTA - Marinated beef tenderloin tips, mushrooms, shallots, garlic, peperonata, and Penne pasta tossed in a fresh basil and tomato cream sauce.

And Mushy had the GULF SHRIMP - A generous portion of Gulf Shrimp hand breaded and fried, with two of my favorite sides: Stone Ground Cheese Grits and NAPA Slaw!

FRIED GREEN TOMATO BLT

I feel like it’s my job to keep you well informed on the quickest meals around, and an occasional splurge at a great restaurant. So, here’s a quick plug for Puleo’s Grille, at Cedar Bluff in Knoxville – great food!

After browsing in several furniture stores yesterday with my wife and mother, we stopped in for a quick bite at Puleo’s. I have never gotten anything bad there and love the fact that they serve grits with their seafood and as a side item. Just like Charleston, SC!

Their slogan is Southern Roots - Italian Heritage and they have Killian on tap! My kind of place!

I ordered:

FRIED GREEN TOMATO BLT
Applewood smoked bacon, leaf lettuce, and our famous fried green tomatoes topped with Fontina cheese and honey mustard served on multigrain bread · $8.49

…with a side of GRITS! Wonderful my friends.
