BEHInD THE COVER

Cityview had a great time at our
cover shoot for The food Issue! Knox

County Mayor Tim Burchett, who co-wrote
our story on some of the best places to find

down-home cooking in our area (he’s an
expert), helped us capture the great times to

be had at an old-timey drive-in restaurant.
We would especially like to thank Steve

West of West Properties for providing the
beautiful car, hP Video for providing the

space for our shoot, and Tyler oxendine for
the great shots featured on the cover, on this

page, and in “Tim Burchett’s Down-home
Cooking Extravaganza” on page 87.

shoot. Here, he joins mayor burchett in the front seat.

time with mayor burchett’s own pride and joy: the 1969

Karmann ghia convertible that he received as a high
school graduation present in 1982. the car is in top
condition—despite a wreck on rainy neyland Drive that
same year!—thanks to the work of P.j. burchett, a cousin
of mayor burchett.
