OK folks, time for another blog fest. I'm thinking of holding it February 10th to avoid Super Bowl conflicts.
I've been requested to move the bash out to the west for a change, and someplace a little more family friendly.
Any suggestions?

We're going to Disneyland!

I hear there are some nice restaurants out at Turkey Creek. Right, Les? ;-)

I don't know how far west is
I don't know how far west is to far but there's a nice Chinese restaurant close to Oak Ridge called the New China Palace. It's on the Clinch river next to the Oak Ridge Rowing Association. Good food with a large dining room and a separate meeting room, don't know how long they will stay open though! I think they serve alcoholic beverages.

Oak Ridge?????

A little far, eh?

Any one of the many fine
Any one of the many fine brew pubs out west would be fine with me. Any one of them...
And Oak Ridge worries me. There don't seem to be enough escape routes out of that town. I mean if the authorities were to find out about us and we had to make a break for it...well...
Hey, Quit defaming my home
Hey, Quit defaming my home town...(well, sorta, I jut moved outside of the city limits, but after 20+ years of living there, I still consider myself a Atomic City boy.)
New China Palace is ok, they do serve drinks, but the food is nothing to write home about. My dad had his 77 birthday there, and I was not crazy about their service or food. Its not bad by any standard, but I am sure its not worth a 45 to hour drive for some folks.
Hey, its great for me if you guys and gals have it there, Its a 5 min drive for me.
I am just looking out for the rest of the folks
Any one of the many fine

Calhouns at I-140/Pellissippi and Kingston Pike maybe? That might be convenient for some folks (especially from over here in Blount Co.).
I'm guessing anything in
I'm guessing anything in Turkey Creek is right out.
I'd have said Bailey's (which actually has pretty good food), but if Barley's isn't family-friendly enough then Bailey's definitely isn't.
Calhoun's is probably a good choice. They have a bar area separate from the restaurant area.

Double Nickel Party
It's so nice of you all to arrange this party for me on my Birthday!
Calhoun's at I140 and Kingston Pike would work for me.
Be a blessing to someone today.
Bloggers' evening out
Calhoun's would work. I'm playing Mr. Mom that weekend so I'll have the little with me.
blogfest
It sounds like we have a winner.
Calhoun's it is.
