Downtown Flavortown is one of Guy Fieri's restaurant, named after his signature catchphrase.
Located in Pigeon Forge, the restaurant is more like an entertainment complex, which includes a gaming area, gift shop and huge bar.
The menu keeps things big and bold with loaded nachos, wings and fries. Plus, plenty of milkshakes and desserts follow suit.
I knew I wanted the trash can nachos, because I've seen viral videos of tbe presentation.
They’re built and served inside a metal cylinder, which is lifted at the table so the nachos spill out in a stacked tower.
What’s underneath is a layered mix — tortilla chips, queso, seasoned meat, beans, crema and jalapeños.
It’s messy, heavy and meant for sharing. I did the BBQ pork version, which lends itself to a nice sweet and savory profile.
My favorite part, really, is picking around through crunchy bites, sweet notes, refreshing crema and making the perfect mix of flavors.
But the draw here is the larger-than-life experience. The food is fine - it's fun - but it's a background character.
