I miss life in America when it was all about local places and local stores and local friends
That’s why when you find places like this, support them!
Big time
Same here, I have been encouraging people to return to their town centers an local businesses because I hate traveling and seeing the same ole chains and franchises. @@silvermine2033
It still is in the south!
You got that right!!!!
Folks still praying before they eat. There is still hope for America
I love that people still give thanks to God for their food. Peace
When people say there is no American culture I point to this. Hard work, family, community, faith, tradition, good food and love all coalesce into places like this. We need to preserve these people and these places.
Hannah sure is easy to look at.
Natural beauty country girl(s) in this video, got me one near 36 years ago, still got 'er! Hoping I croak before she does cause can't do without her.
And you are stupid enough to say something like that. Objectifying women is so low class. You need to learn to keep your lustful thoughts to yourself.
Hannah is a wonderful slice of sunshine. Shes Keeping the family tradition alive.
She's as pretty as a speckled pup under a red wagon.
Agreed! And those blue blue eyes! 😍
You can see how proud Hannah is of her employee Judy, the ear to ear smile, the praise etc. That's nice to see a business owner just PROUD of the work she does.
Hannah thank you for your service. National Guard, and 4 kids. Wow. And can cook to boot.😮
This is what people mean, when we say "small town america". This is majority of people living outside the big cities. Every small town has something of this sort...mine had a 1940's burger place fast food diner and a run down drive in theater. Went there every weekend for 25 years like it was a religion. I miss this.....oh how far we have fallen :(
This is a perfect example of what I always treasure growing up in Tennessee l
Hannah is doing a wonderful thing preserving family and community tradition ❤️
This is why I love our beautiful country. 🇺🇲❤️
This makes me proud to be from Tennessee.
I lived outside Knoxville for 28 years and have seen that market! I remember another market like it that has been gone for years. It was named Amherst Grocery, and was owned by an elderly man and his wife. I last visited it in the mid 2000's. Everyday there was a line outside the door and around the corner during lunch. There were always bunches of city vehicles out front. I being an old civil service employee always told people that if they wanted to find good food, just follow city vehicles during lunch time LOL! The building is abandoned now and has been closed for decades! My wife and I moved to Florida for four years and got the hell out! We are now back home in east Tennessee, in a place called Soddy Daisy on Mulberry mountain! These mountains become part of you and you can never leave!
Today I'm 83 yo...same age as this charming little restaurant. Good job John.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Happy Birthday !! 😊
Happy birthday and God bless you and your family 🙏🏼✝️
Happy birthday 🎉🎂
I'll be 83 in 5 mounts"july-5-41".Certainly enjoyed the video.
These are the gems of America. I love places like this.
This is real America.
Salt of the earth ppl. East TN is a beautiful place. These are the type of ppl that make the world go around.
I love the fact that all the customers, made sure they told them what they got. Not saying Hanna didn't know, but it shows respect and honesty. Love that
I love this. This is true America.
A place like this is a national treasure. It's a shame that places like this are disappearing😢
That's what happens when we let the world inside.
I love old stores like this. The people are so friendly and the food looks delicious!
Hannah doesn't look old enough to have 4 kids and run a restaurant ❤
I can believe it. I had a coworker who was our front desk lady at the hospital I used to work at. Sweet as honey, and she was already a great grandmother at just short of 60 years of age!
Very true! What a cutie too ❤
Food looks so good❤❤
@@Lisa1111 That Young Ladies eyes are just Captivating..
Well if you judge things by appearance which would be extremely ignorant
Just beautiful. Hanna and the crew are amazing. Makes me proud to be a Tennessean. Her smile and history are amazing, and her dad Thank you for his service, from a long-time Air Force member.
Thank God there are still Godly people out here in America! We truly need Jesus back in our country more than ever! God bless those folks in Tennessee!
The folks in this video are the heart and soul of America. I love these people never having met them. They’re just good, hardworking, honest people. I live in Franklin but will be stopping by on my next trip to Knoxville or WV.
She Probly has the prettiest eyes I ever seen
Those eyes are something else! The small restaurants are the best. Hopefully she keeps the family tradition going for years to come!
Hannah Is A Ray Of Sunshine.... This Restaurant Has A Lot Of Hospitality, Good Food, Great Place To Visit....
Hannah is doing her grandparents proud...what a hard-worker she is. She also has a great crew working along side of her. Wish we had old country stores still going here in the Pacific Northwest, I'd be there everyday like the old timers do at Hannah's store.
I agree. I will tell you that there is a great little burger joint in Centralia called Bill & Bea’s. Same kind of atmosphere smaller. Great burgers!
There are some great old stores in the PNW, you just need to know where to look. Check out the historic store in Butteville when you get a chance.
I like the way the customers tell the cashier what they had to eat. Up here, where im from in the northeast, that wouldn't happen. In fact, you're most likely going to pay when you order.
All of these videos seem like thyre in slow motion to me. Im so used to going full speed all the time. I love it. Everyone comes across as such decent, honest people. Proud people. Pride is something i dont see much in this country anymore. It breaks my heart.
I’m a head cook for my small town cafe population of around 6,000 ppl, i can almost remember each person by name, all polite great country folk here in kansas
I am coming to see you soon. I live in Talbott Tennessee and my doctor is in Newport.
Ive lived in east tn all my life. In the rural areas there is still a lot of these places left
I’ve marathon watched this great channel. I’ve realized that the South loves their comfort foods, fellowship , friendships, hospitality, Bologna and Burger sandwiches, Onion Rings, and chili beans and many beautiful and strong, hardworking Southern Women at the helm. I tried an experiment not meant as an insult, increase the playback speed to 1.25 and everyone sounds like the speed of communication up here near Chicago. Meant as a complement as the slower, more relaxed speed of dialect shows a better way of life. Slow down a little bit and smell the roses.
yes we like to eat and visit here in the south! Thanks for the comment my friend.
Sadly the Yankees are taking over moving here or buying air b and bs among these areas causing more of a stir than you think. Over here in middle TN it’s very loud and clear the displeasure towards the Yankees coming from IL cali NY etc it wouldn’t be bad expect they bring their non sense with them
@@ttss5726 I fully understand your complaints. Though I’m from IL I’m trapped here due to family obligations. I feel that my heart would be happy to live in the South and if I ever did I’d have the respect for the native southerners to blend in and not disrupt normality.
@LINJ638
"chase them all out the door???"
They will run without being chased.
Don't we all miss the old mom and pop's stores
That's real family stuff
Fantastic vlog! A very long time ago (2006) my wife and I were driving to Savannah and we ended up following 25W to Corbin to check out the Colonel Sanders museum. Had we known of B&B market in LaFollette we would have kept on driving south on 25 to check out the place. My wife and I always believe in supporting local restaurants. They are pure gold. Thank you for showing off the store!
Im from Brooklyn NY and I love seeing other Americans from around our great nation. These folks are the kind that make our country great. Kind and decent people. I like the family who said Grace before eating God bless them all. The lady with the beautiful blue eyes who runs the place is beautiful! She'd be a model in my neck of the woods!! Maybe Ill pass through some time and pop in!
I love anybody in east TN keeping their favorite locals alive running
Sweet bunch of folks at B & B Market. Wish I lived closer cause I would be a daily customer. Thanks John for showing us your County Neighborhood….
You bet
God bless that young entrepreneur!! I would go there twice a day!!
I'm English but my grandfather was from USA 🇺🇸 served in the usaf in second world War stationd in 🇬🇧 UK then whent back to the state's I've visited once videos these make me want to come back lovely people ❤
Wow!!! This is the kind of place that makes me miss my home town!!! Thank you for sharing it with us!!! God Bless Us All!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
What a great group of just down home hard working backbone of America people!
AMEN‼️
I love places like this. Walk right in and you feel like you're home.
I was born in Memphis, but have family in Middle Tennessee. It warms my heart to hear these lovely people and the way the interact with each other. It's so nice to see the younger generation keeping these wonderful places alive. I love visiting these types of establishments. Warm and friendly people and amazing food.
Wow, thank you
I think I’m in love with Hanna 😍
This video was absolutely amazing. Thank John and Jodi for everything you do. Your hard work and dedication is outstanding 💪👍. I love these old general stores. I wished they were a lot around. I hope and pray that these old stores will be around many more years to come. Enjoy your day and take care
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm in Maryville TN, I'm going to take a ride up this spring with the family and try out that food, I think the family is going to love it up there 💪🏼✝️🙏🏼
Sounds great!
I grew up in a small island in Greece at the southern most location of Greece, basically in middle of nowhere. I miss the community where EVERYONE is related to you and they are JUST Greek, nothing else.
There are no thefts, no car jackings, no rapes, no murders, no riots, no conflicts. All one big Greek family.
Just two cops for 20k people ( 100k in the summer). Everyone behaves and is civil, and you really dont wanna start problems with people that are all related. @@theappalachianchannel
This is what it's all about. You can tell these people that live around here live right!
looks like a special place, with lots of good food and good folks
Hannah is beautiful. I love seeing the locals supporting each other. Thank you for sharing.
History is are stepping stone to who we are as folks, in this great country!
Nothing more humble than living and keeping true to your roots 🙏🏻
God gave us memories so we dont forget who we are. The perfect memories are that of time.🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤔🤔🎯💯😇👌🏻😇and of yesteryear!without,moments in time we would have no purpose! Or guidance for our future.🙏🏻🇺🇸👍🏻
A friendly group of people at this store. Hannah seems like a hardworking lady, along with all of her employees.
Everyone always compliments the food so it would be worth a trip if you are near this area.
All the food did look delicious but the peach cobbler with ice cream was looking really really good ! 😊
So true!
My grandma owned that store in 1976 I remember the branams used to live across the road
Hannah such a great attitude an atmosphere in her place. God bless her.
Wow, this video was fantastic, they have been active since 1941, this is crazy, the place seems so pleasant and welcoming, thank you for showing these fantastic places, a big hug from Brazil
Glad you enjoyed it
@@theappalachianchannel please visit the Bell's family Pharmacy / Soda Fountain in Tate Ga and the Sunset Restaurant in Franklin NC i think they have carhop
The owner and manager Hannah may be the prettiest woman I've ever seen. Stopped on this video to see the food and my heart skipped a blue eyed beat ❤
Beside the great food there I think Hannah is the main draw that keeps the young and old guys coming in day in and day out❤gorgeous gal!🔥
Turkey sandwich for $4.50 that be 14$ where I live wow
That's about right for around here at a moment and pop store. Cleaner, better quality and nicer people than these large nasty chain stores. When I had my store I never charged for coffee. When I was out of town someone drove into the front of the store. It took me 12 hours to get back home. When I arrived the locals had the damage repaired and wouldn't let me pay them for the work and materials. It is a different life in these small southern towns.
I’ve lived in California,out of my life. I wish we had great places like this! What a wonderful group of people!
This is a little slice of the REAL America! I love these places and when you find them it's like finding a jewel among a pile of rocks. I will definitely visit this place when I return to the Knoxville area of Tennessee.
$21.81 for all the meals he bought. Try that at your local McDonald's!!!
Exactly...
I bet the food is absolutely wonderful, and well worth the drive. We are in our early 70's, live in Metcalfe County, Kentucky, and places like this are what we absolutely love...good food, made with love....
Tennessee SHORE HAS SOME BEAUTIFUL WOMAN WHO OWN AND RUN AND COOK at these general stores!
I know y’all will think I’m crazy; but when you serve a hamburger serve it upside down so the fat from the cheese and meat drips down into the fixins then when the customer picks it up the first bite is heaven. Everyone thinks I’m crazy till they do it then they eat their words. 😂❤
God bless you for documenting a part of America that many of us never got the joy to experience.
I grew up in Brooklyn, which is a little different, ya’ know?
Hannah is beautiful and this store looks like the type of place that I would come to. Such nice people and it looks so comfortable and homey. This reminds me of how America used to be and I wish it still was. Thanks for taking us along.
Everything looked delicious!
It was!
When I get up to Tennessee, I’ll go out of my way to go by there and have a burger. These little stores and community is what America should still be about. Thanks John
What absolutely stunning eyes Hannah has.
It's a joy seeing and hearing people from Stinking Creek and Lafolllette. I was born on Stinking Creek, and most of my Mother's people are from LaFollette
Really enjoyed the video of a small town diner and store.
The people there are all down to earth and friendly.
The food looked delicious especially the hamburgers.
Good job.
Keep up the good work.
Glad you enjoyed it
Suddenly, I’m craving a burger, lol!
I’ve known Joyce for years and Hannah looks just like her Beautiful Grandmother.Thanks for another great video❤
What a fantastic group of hard working people working hard for hard working people
Great story. The owner's a doll & seems sweet as sugar.
With that low of ceiling, I bet that's a (smell all the food) good place. The food looks good too. Hanna touched the old tobacco can and went to wash her hands first thing - she is a real cook as well.
Enjoyed watching. All my kinfolk were reared up in Morristown TN and it was so refreshing to hear that distinctive East TN dialect. Brought back some great memories. My last Aunt died in 2017 and I haven’t been back up that way so I got to visit vicariously through this video.
Early 2k's I attended the "Hoot" motorcycle rally in Knoxville. Stopped in a park and in talking to a couple from TN he eventually asked where we lived. I told him, could tell he had no idea. He said he'd been all over the state but couldn't recall the town I lived in. Told him it wasn't TN but PA. He said I sounded local, I told him it was one of the nicest things anyone ever said to me.
Now, I am in the south, since '09, couldn't wait to move down.
Like Hanna said - SPECIAL!
We don't see much of these places anymore, unless you get lost or find your videos - keep up the great work 😀
Thank you! Will do!
I’m new to the area, but I go by here when I go to Lafollette. I’m definitely stopping in next time I go by.
Worse thing to admit…. Hopefully you’re not like the rest of a fleeing Yankees and bring that crazy political crap etc with you
Well I’m honest. I’m from Middle TN and spent the last 18 years in South Central KY. I left to escape a bad situation. Landed in the Jellico area. Not the greatest place I’ve ever been but the deal was good and I love the mountains. Just taking care of myself, minding my own business and trying to find a lil peace and enjoyment in life. Unless you’re part of the minority around here, I’m sure our political views align perfectly.
Oh how I love places like this, good old home town places❤. The food is as good as the folks that come
The only quiet time I could get was to get up early and make breakfast and lunches
for my 4 kids😊
Love how you are focusing on these mom & pops. Keep up the good work.
Love the south! Traditional values, hope to move down there someday. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!
Looks like a great place homey and country
Amazing people and delicious food....I will return. 👍💕
Looks like a great place to visit. I think I’m in love with Hannah but i’m way too old lol. Tell her a said she is gorgeous. I love your videos.
Will do!!
This is what I miss from where I come from, the kind of community that you all have is priceless! Thanks for sharing your neck of the woods!
Awesome 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I could have def smashed one of those burgers for dinner tonight. Looked good along with that cobbler.
It was
I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this video. My mom was from Rockhold Ky so I am very familiar with the area around there. Those people in that country store and restaurant were like my family❤ I love seeing REAL people. Keep showing us these wonderful people that make this country the blessed place it is. This video made my day❤️❤️
Awesome vibes coming out of this video. 👍
Hanna interviewed you as much as you interviewed her. It was fantastic.
I miss the old mom and pop stores! Grew up in the 60's and we had them all over the place and no fast-food joints or big stores like you see today.
Another one that goes right to the heart! Thank you John!
The CORE of our country its been missing sometime and am so glad to see its coming back and our people will be the ones who will do it we need it too great video JOHN
Great Content as usual! hello from Brisbane Australia!!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
This is what makes our country great :)
Hannah shure is prettier than a new set of mud tires
This is why I love this area. Good food, good people. I think young folks socializing with old folks is what holds a community together.
Running a store/restaurant is hard work and then a mother of 4 children……WOW!!!
Wish we still had mom & pop places like this here in New Jersey. All the places like this are gone up here , they started closing in the 80’s when in was in high school.
I’m back to watch this one again
Hannah is a gem 💎
Hannah seems so down to earth. My momma always said beauty comes from the inside first and if the insides ugly don't matter about the beauty on the outside. Hannah seems to have both ❤❤
Oh man! Those burgers do look good!
They are!
