Pigeon Forge- need recommendations

[moparwacko]

I'm headed to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area for a week camping trip for our anniversary. I'm looking for :

Things to do
Things to see
Restaurants - no chains, i can find them anywhere

We've been there before for a short stay and saw some of the major stuff (Cades cove, Clingmans Dome, etc.) We've would like to see more of the scenery and not tourist traps.
But more importantly - THE FOOD!

If there is any members near there, they will have local knowledge.??

Oh, and maybe some car related stuff too wouldn't hurt if I happened to just stumble upon it.

If it's still there visit the Muscle Car Museum. It has a lot of Chevys in there but a cool place.

Duh, it's your anniversary and you'll be alone, in a tent or camper. I could think of a couple of things to do

BTW Happy Anniversary!

Folks talk a little uniquely down there compared to you Jersey boys Eldubb so don’t be alarmed..

Just kidding Tenn is my one of my favorite states! It’s wonderful place... pigeon forge is a tourist trap and kinda pricey but don’t worry just roll with it!

The folks down there are pretty genuine too.

Lynchburg is a little bit of a drive but recommended to go see the Jack Daniels Distillery.

Well, that will only keep me busy for a few minutes.
No tent, it's an RV Clark!

Drive across the mountain to Maggie Valley, NC. Fantastic motorcycle musuem. Hundreds of bikes on display, all run. White water rafting in the area. Bush Bean manufacturing tour. Tail of the Dragon.
