Pie of the Week: Key Lime Pie

The problem with key lime pie is that squeezing 20 or so of those little buggers can result in major hand cramps. Cut them in half and use a garlic press to squeeze out the juice. Works like a charm.

KNOXVILLE TN...I'M COMIN, TO YOUR CITY!

I've long described Knoxville as a culinary wasteland. I echo the positive comments on the farmers' markets (scroll down to Knox County). There are several and there are also a few commercial markets offering good, local produce in the summer (come winter you're SOL). Be sure to try Benton's country sausage, you can only buy it at the shop and it's awesome. West Wind Farms is also a source of excellent meat products.

Restaurant-wise I'll add that Litton's in North Knoxville is a genuinely great diner. In Maryville, Foothills Milling Company is quite good. Chesapeake's is decent and of course Blackberry Farm is in the area. Drop me a note at kevin@kevinscucina.com.
