Tennessee has quite a big reputation — and for good reason. The state is not only known for its grandiose hospitality, but also its deep history and kind, kind residents. We’ve put together a list of seven things that will remind us of Tennessee no matter where in the world we may be, and we have a feeling you’re going to agree. From your favorite whiskey to the best-fried chicken in the nation, there’s just something about Tennessee that’s far-reaching.
- Jack Daniels Whiskey…

- The Great Smoky Mountains

- Hot Chicken

- Country Music
Adinda Uneputty - Flickr We know who put Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash on the map, and it wasn’t those folks down in Hollywood!
- Orange
