Times are changing, and nowhere is that more evident than in the way we shop for groceries. From digital coupons and loyalty cards to online ordering, curbside pickup and home delivery, grocery shopping has become more convenient than ever.
But sometimes the best changes are the ones we discover unexpectedly.
That is exactly what happened when the Dining Duo made a quick stop at Food City on Western Avenue in Knoxville. They were searching for pickling spices but discovered something even better: Jack’s Cafe, a hidden gem offering fresh selections, Southern favorites and plenty of reasons to stay for lunch.
More than a grocery store

On this particular visit, the warm weather made the extensive salad bar especially appealing.
