We may be losing one of our favorite restaurants this week, but two new places are on the way, so here's some news to cheer you up.
Crazy Good Burgers is a food truck that hopes to open soon -- if they can kickstart enough money to get their truck wrapped with signage displaying their logo. Their website says they will offer burgers and fries and shakes:
We grind our burgers fresh, hand cut our fries, make fresh-squeezed lemonade, and make sweet, unsweet, and a crazy good tea each and every day. We will also offer hand-spun milkshakes in chocolate and vanilla.
Yum! And yes, they are based in Morristown, but they have plans to get down to Knoxville a lot, so your contribution (if you're a fan of burgers and such) would probably be much appreciated by local foodies.
2. Barberitos
Ok, it's not like Knoxville needs another burrito place necessarily, but Barberitos is good, y'all. It was by far the best burrito option in Athens when I lived there, and now it's gone global -- well, it's expanded across the Southeast. I hate that the location isn't downtown, but I'm happy that it opens Monday. It's been far too long, my old friend.
Full press release follows:
