The International Biscuit Festival began in 2009 by a group of local Biscuit lovers who wanted to share Knoxville’s Biscuit heritage with the world.  What started as a fun gathering for friends and family has grown into a nationally recognized food festival.

In 2012, the Southern Food Writing Conference was added to the schedule to bring together authors, chefs, publishers, publicists and others who love Southern food and those who write about it.  Each year, the Conference brings together a stellar group of speakers in an intimate setting to share their passion for writing about food in the South.
