God, these are all absolutely terrible suggestions. Here are some good ones. Otsu for dumplings and general Asian food. A Dopo is the best pizza in town Curious Dog has incredible sandwiches & hot dogs Jig & Reel for Scottish pub food Tesoro Gelato for amazing Gelato.

J.D., trust me on this: drive 30 minutes to Pigeon Forge and eat at the Apple Barn before you leave the area. You won’t regret it.

-Stock & Barrell in Market Square is a great burger joint -Gus’s Deli on Cumberland is iconic (It’s next to a bar owned by a former QB who I hear has a nephew playing in the game) -For dessert, both on Gay street: Cruze Farm Ice Cream, Ham N Goodies Cookies- get the lemon

If you’re willing to get out of downtown and go a few miles there’s a lot of solid spots. Asian-Sticky rice (get the pork chop) Mexican- Chez Guvera it has a cult following. No sign on the door. Steak- Connors Higher end Southern- Fharmacy Elite Dinning- JC Holdway
