Next lunch with mayor at Steamboat

In his never-ending quest to eat with all people at all places, Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett will host his next lunch with the mayor shin-dig this Friday from 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. at 2307 West Emory Road, across from Powell High School. Steamboat is also offering Lunch with the Mayor sandwich specials during that time.

According to the county's latest spin deal, just released by communications Manager of To, Michael "Big Sexy" Grider, Steamboat is a locally-owned franchise business with locations on Market Square and in Powell. The original Steamboat restaurant opened in Knoxville in 1989.
