If "Brunch" is a portmanteau of breakfast and lunch, then I officially declare "Munch" a portmanteau of Monday and lunch. Join us each Monday in June from 12-3 for Munch at Corner Lounge Knoxville. I promise you that no one on the truck nor in the Lounge will be pretentious enough to actually use the word "Portmanteau" in casual conversation as we will be too busy drinking and munching.

Congratulations are in order for RGK Member Whoa Doggie Hot Sauces!

Earlier this spring they traveled up to Brooklyn, New York to attend the NYC Hot Sauce Expo and they did not come back to Knoxville empty handed!

The Whoa Doggie Hot Sauces' Good Boy Hot Salsa won a first place Screaming Mi Mi in the salsa category!!!

Good Boy Salsa is a beautifully crafted, time-honored family recipe that’s been perfected over more than 60 years.

Passed down through generations and generously shared by a cherished family friend of Whoa Doggie, this salsa is a celebration of the family’s rich Hispanic heritage.

Congrats Billy & Heather on your latest award!
