We have been blessed with a beautiful Fall Season here in East Tennessee. Our "color trip" took Miss G and I to the Newport area. What a great day road trip.
The highlight was stopping at Carver Applehouse Restaurant located on the Cosby Highway.

The View from the expansive Dining Room Windows
was incredible....what a vista to enjoy
while enjoying lunch.
Carver's Restaurant features a daily special and a full service breakfast, lunch and dinner choices. We decided on the daily special of BBQ pork sandwich with fries or slaw. Miss G chose the sandwich with slaw and I chose the sandwich with fries...then we could split our included side dish. Also included for $7.75 was our beverage and dessert.
The pork was sweeter than I would expect but remained a moist and tender sandwich. Fries were crispy and hot....and the cole slaw was crisp and well chilled. I really enjoyed the slaw...my kind of semi-tart creamy dressing.
After our tasty lunch, our server returned to our table with our brownie for dessert...moist and dense. A nice touch to finish our lunch.
After lunch, it was time to head to their Apple barn to pick up a few things.....including a half bushel of apples and a nice cheese pumpkin for a pie. I had never heard of a cheese pumpkin, but it takes this name since it looks like a wheel of cheese. We couldn't resist a jar or apple and peach butter made on premises. I have never seen so many apple varieties before...incredible selection. The one thing I did notice is that the apples were fresh picked...not like the waxed and polished apples in the grocery.

A great afternoon and I will be returning to Carver's the next time in Cosby, TN....well worth the trip. Carver's will be featuring a Thanksgiving Day Feast that looks well worth the trip for anyone here in East Tennessee.
