You are spending time in Nashville on the way home?  Or have you already had some Hot?  Is Clarksdale close enough to family you make day trips or do you stay there?  are the crowds from all over or local?  You are not far from the Trace.

My wife grew up in Clarksdale and my mother in law still lives here.  We stay at her house when we come down here.  I saw at least 20+ different state license plates here this weekend.  People usually come from all over the world to visit this small town for this festival.  This year, the international visitors were probably close to zero.

I am leaving here on Friday morning to spend Fri-Sun in Memphis and then Mon-Thur in Nashville.  Staying in Johnson City on Friday and driving the rest of the way home next Saturday.

Bentley mentioned the Trace in part of this thread.  I found this book today at Cathead and picked it up.  It covers more than music.  May be a worthwhile investment for those that want to travel along the Natchez Trace.

Lets get to the serious stuff...How is the food?

[Bar-B-Lew]

Three Notch'd Brewing Co - Roanoke, VA - best cheesesteak I have eaten that was not in Philly or Lehigh Valley PA

Sweet P's BBQ - Knoxville, TN - brisket Philly cheesesteak was good but would have been better w/o cheese.  Mac n cheese reminded me of my Dad's style which I liked especially the crusty cheese.  Ribs were spareribs cooked Memphis style with rub added after cooking.  Tender, but I prefer rub on before the cook.

Stone Pony Pizza - Clarksdale, MS - 1/2# burger that tasted like a Wendy's burger which I like so it was fine

Ground Zero Blues Club - Clarksdale, MS - great burger with more details in the burger thread

Hooker Grocer and Eatery - Clarksdale, MS - 1/2# smashburger (claimed on menu) - decent burger but didn't taste like a smashburger due to the thickness.  I don't think they smashed it but probably did cook on a griddle.

Blackhorse Brewery - Knoxville, TN - garlic crust everything pizza - pretty good late dinner

That all looks soooo good.
I'd gain 15 pounds if I went on that trip.

All of that food looks great.  I'll be heading down to Roanoke, VA later this spring and I'll have to remember to try the beer at the brewery and the sandwich.
