A sad day in Kingsport

Today at work I learned that my favorite restaurant in Kingsport, Cootie Brown's will be losing it's doors. CB's was our favorite restaurant to go to, it was never a question of where did we want to eat but more like what do we want to eat at CB's. They probably had one of the best beer selections in Kingsport until the Kingsport Grocery opened up. Before CB's, then only place to get a good craft beer was,... well there wasn't a place. We had to settle for Bud or Miller. The Cootie Brown's in Kingsport was not the first, there was actually one in JC that started the whole phenomenon. It's a smaller joint with a smaller selection. At least that was the case the last time I was there. I haven't been there since the open of the Kingsport joint. I didn't just go there for the good beer selection but the food was great too, different than most of the other restaurants in Kingsport. I just don't understand why everyone goes to the Applebee/Chili's/Cheddars/O'Charleys so much more. They're all the same, when I want to go out to eat I want something different not the same stuff we cook at home. I guess Kingsport was just not ready for such a cool place to eat. I just hope that the Grocery does well or I'll have to move back to JC.
