Johnson City, TN
Since 1999, Cootie Brown’s has brought bold diverse flavors and a bit of funk to Johnson City. From New Orleans Muffaletta and Caribbean Jamaican Jerk Chicken to Mexican Tamales and Memphis style BBQ, Cootie Brown has defined an experience quite unlike anything else. But it's their line of homemade desserts that really showcases their unconventional creativity—each pie is a double layer masterpiece. Their most famous Key Lime pie is handmade from scratch and features one tart key lime layer and a second sweet, creamy layer. It’s seriously a one of a kind!
