The restaurant turned 20 recently and, to celebrate, the management gave away a dinner for two for a year.
Restaurant regular Larry Sloan from Tellico Plains was the grand-prize winner. After submitting only one ballot, his name was chosen out of 15,000 ballots. While he and his wife often come to the restaurant multiple times in a week, they only came once during anniversary week.
