Great(ish) Expectations

Thank you, Stephanie, M., Waterford Township, MI for your review of the Paula Deen Store in Gatlinburg, TN.

I recently opened a fortune cookie with the following fortune inside:

Aside from the humor of knowing the writer of these fortunes has clearly had enough, I think you need to take a minute to think about the message. What exactly were you expecting? It's located near Dollywood, it's dedicated to a Southern TV chef, and she's known for using butter and being racist. I imagine the Food Network only feels comfortable marketing one of those things on a dish towel.

I hope you have an Aha! moment about a lot of things, Stephanie M.

One out of five stars.

See you next Tuesday.
