The Cheese Cupboard opened in 1969.  The variety of cheeses, snack foods, imported chocolates and imported beers that they carry is surprising when you see the size of their store.  Every inch of space is covered with merchandise.  From cheddar to Camembert, from Brie to Blue the Cheese Cupboard is a great spot for the turophile (cheese lover) in your traveling party.  Whether you are looking for something specific or if you just prefer to browse, the selection at the Cheese Cupboard is always beyond your expectations.

The real hidden treasure lies upstairs.  Literally up the stairs at the back of the shop.  Climb the very narrow staircase and you will pop out at a small dining area with an even smaller kitchen on the left hand side.  You have arrived at the Hofbrauhaus.  Their menu is modest.  Sandwiches, hotdogs, cheese snacks all reside on one page but the main reason for making the climb is their Reuben.  They are renowned for this specialty, called the “The Super Reuben.”  Stacked high with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and homemade sauce, this bit of heaven is the purpose for making the trek up the stairs.  Every bite is loaded with melted cheese and tangy sauerkraut and it really is the best Reuben in the area.  On the table they have coarse ground mustard, horseradish and relish so you can condiment to your hearts content.

The Cheese Cupboard's welcoming interior, on up the stairs is the Hofbrauhaus restaurant.

The Hofbrauhaus dinning area is also part of the appeal.  Very cozy and quaint, with seating for no more then 12 or 16, this is one of those places where your group might be dining alone, something hard to find in Gatlinburg.  The interior is designed to look like a small German pub and it certainly does bring that to mind with the dark wood and furnishings.  Remember when you go, that the person waiting on you, cooking for you and bringing your drinks is also going to be the person working the register downstairs in the cheese shop so don’t get impatient, good things come to those who wait.

Instead of going to the place you always go in Gatlinburg for lunch, or going to a fast food restaurant, make the small effort to seek out and stop by the Hofbrauhaus.  Get the Reuben or one of the other fantastic sandwiches.  Smear it down with fresh horseradish or mustard and have a great meal in one of those places that nobody knows about.  Take some cheese home from the Cheese Cupboard as a tasty souvenir.  When you tell people where you ate they are going to ask where it was and not believe you when you tell them.

The Cheese Cupboard & the Hofbrauhaus

The Peddler is the older sister restaurant to The Park Grill, which is located a short walk away. It’s evident that they keep the best employees over at The Peddler as well as the best menu & food. If you have to choose between The Peddler and The Park Grill, definitely go with The Peddler. It has become famous for its salad bar, which constantly has a great selection of the freshest foods.

As I was growing up, the women in my family would often crave The Peddler’s salad bar, which was fine for the men since we liked the fresh cuts of steak served by an actual peddler! A person rolls a cart around with fresh cuts of meat for you to choose from. These choice cuts are grilled over real Tennessee hickory charcoal and you actually get to see and choose the cut that you want

Still, if you’re craving something other than steak, the menu also features fresh Mountain Trout, Marinated Chicken and other delicious entrees.

As neat as the presentation is for the guys, I’ve seen many ladies squirm at the sight of this. It might be a nice place to take the mother-in-law after a long weekend…

As great as the salad bar and steaks are, it amazingly gets better with the dessert. You better still be hungry or have plans to pack a to-go box, because the desserts are HUGE. I can’t honestly recommend a single dessert simply because they are all incredible. Check out the menu for yourself at http://www.peddlergatlinburg.com/menu.asp.

One piece of advice. If you arrive later than 5:30, you’ll most likely be waiting. Try calling the number below for call-ahead seating to slip by the crowd like a rock star….or local.

Also, the window seats are most people’s favorite due to the view of the creek below. If you get one on a night that is snowing…you’re in for a magical dinner. This is definitely one place to eat during your trip to Gatlinburg.

The Peddler Steakhouse

New York style pizza in the Smokies, thin crust, big, and made to order, only at Best Italian. Their pizza is different and they have some toppings you don’t see in the chain stores: Pesto, feta cheese, artichoke hearts and more. Their pesto pizza is a green monstrosity with a whole different kind of pizza goodness. The Brazilian Béchamel is a white sauce pizza that will leave your mouth watering even after you are done. Or just order the size you want and keep adding toppings until you have the perfect made-to-order pie. Or try the same thing with their pizza dough used as a calzone. The calzone is enormous. Pizza at Best Italian is simply the… Best.

Loads of pasta. If their pizza is the best then their Italian cuisine is even better. Traditional Italian fare mixed with something special here and there. They carry all the favorites you might be looking for: spaghetti, fettuccine alfredo, eggplant parmigiana. But they have some signatures dishes that you shouldn’t miss. Chef Paul’s seafood medley is wonderful, enough seafood to sink a shrimp boat and a wine sauce that is simply decadent. And their wilted spinach side dish is beyond compare. Spinach wilted and served with fresh tomatoes. The Italian cuisine at Best Italian ranks up there with posh restaurants you would find in some of the greatest ‘foodie’ cities in the world.

Garlic knots! This is the basic side that comes with every meal. These little balls of heaven melt in your mouth and they are served almost floating in a garlic oil mixture and covered in parmesan cheese and bits of garlic. One recommendation is to always try and get the last one. When you get the last one, break it in half and let it soak in the garlic oil before you eat it. Best Italian is one of the little known eateries in Gatlinburg but it is out of this world. They are located in the Elks Plaza shopping center between traffic lights 8 and 9. Best Italian, their name really says it all.
