[not watson's]

I love Market Square in Knoxville. It is that town square you see in movies, full of restaurants, bars, and boutiques, that also hosts town events and farmer's markets. Every now and again, a new restaurant opens and I make it my mission to taste test it. This past trip, I made a visit to Not Watson's, a new restaurant and bar in Market Square. I hadn't really heard much about it so I used a free afternoon to grab a quick lunch.

It was 4:30 p.m. on a Wednesday, so I was the only customer. Obviously, they sat me very quickly, and I realized I knew one of the waiters, so I instantly felt at home. The menu was limited but I realized they have a niche: hot dogs. Looking back I probably should have ordered one, but I was really in the mood for chili so I ordered a cup of chili, which came with 'a surprise' [aka a grilled cheese sandwich - yummy!]. It was actually very good! It had fresh jalapeños on top, adding just the right amount of spice.

All in all, I'll probably visit again. The vibe was very much sports bar and the prices were decent, so I would definitely go there to dinner with friends.

Happy Wednesday all!
