I have tentative reservations at Baker-Peters Jazz Club in Knoxville on Sept 20. Dinner will be four courses and dessert with paired wines (small pours because I don't want anyone to get a DUI). The total number of people is limited to 12 (at the moment). Dinner pricing will be announced shortly but expect around $75 a person. If you've ever had the pleasure and honor of attending one of my exclusive dinners before, you know what to expect; dishes not on the menu, food prepared exclusively for us, fine wines and outstanding service. I expect no less this time.
If interested, post here.
A bit of history of the Baker-Peters mansion:
The mansion was built as the home of Dr. James Harvey Baker, a prominent physician. Some accounts of Dr. Baker's activities during the Civil War report him as being aligned with the Confederacy, while others claim his neutrality.
Whatever his allegiance, his son, Abner, fought for the Confederacy. In 1864, Dr. Baker was at home treating wounded Confederate soldiers when Union soldiers gained entry into the home, shot and killed the physician.
At age 22, Abner returned home from the war and sought to avenge his father's death. He shot and killed the alleged informer, Knoxville Postmaster William Hall. Afterwards, several of the postmaster's accomplices ambushed and killed Abner. Today, a marker on the front lawn memorializes Abner for his courage and loyalty to his family.
Dr. Baker's house was later sold in the late 1800's to the Peters family.
