Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett will host his second "Lunch with the Mayor" event this Friday at Love That BBQ from 11:30 until 1 p.m.  “Lunch with the Mayor” specials will be offered. 

The first "Lunch with the Mayor" was held last month at Harby's Pizza & Deli, after Mayor Burchett organized a series of successful cash mobs. 

"The first 'Lunch with the Mayor' was very successful, and I hope the community will come out again this Friday to support a locally-owned business in our community," Mayor Burchett said.  As I’ve said before, the important thing about the cash mob, and now 'Lunch with the Mayor,' is getting people to start thinking about supporting locally-owned businesses, no matter where they are in Knox County."

The public is invited to join Mayor Burchett for lunch on Friday.  The event is "Dutch treat."

Love That BBQ is owned and operated by Walter and Bonny Love.  Their website is www.lovethatbbqtn.com.
