Epicurious Louisville

Louisville Kentucky is usually renowned for Bourbon, horse racing, and hillbillies. Well I'm no barefoot teenage bride, but I think Louisville should be recognized as a mecca of amazing eats, a veritable undiscovered treasure trove of quirky cafes, upper cut echelon and everything in between.
For everything from sushi to satire, I'm your girl. I plan on reviewing one restaurant a week.

“Check” out my review of Check’s Germantown Cafe

I would hate myself less for that pun if you were to check it out for real

right hurr.

the cheeseburger at Check’s Cafe…TO DIE FOR.

The Village Anchor: Best banana pudding of all time.

Things I Enjoyed About Brunch at The Silver Dollar

1. It’s cheaper than dinner at TSD and it’s less loud and less crowded and the garage doors are opened up and it’s utterly refreshing.

2. Fried oysters are my favorite food besides bacon. Does bacon even count as a food? It’s more like a religious experience. The fried oysters here are the best in all the land.

3. They cooked my steak rare enough for me, THAT NEVER HAPPENS. I love rare meat. The closer to death my food is, the more I like it. I CRAVE BLOODY FLESH. 

4. Apricot preserves on homemade bread with sweet cream butter. Enough said.

5. Dare I say it…I love this place better as brunch. I just wish I could justify a Gold Rush that early in the day—and I wish we could have a Gold Rush before 1:00pm on a Sunday.

Why did anyone ever give me a credit card an an insatiable appetite?

Anonymous asked: Do you think that the South End is overlooked when it comes to local publications and websites? I love the Highlands but it seems like there is so much "more" to Louisville than what is portrayed locally.

I certainly agree there’s more to our fair city than the highlands. I don’t actually know a whole lot about the South End (what’s down there anyways?) but that might be because it doesn’t get a lot of attention…

YET.

I mean think about it—the NULU Butchertown area was NOTHING two years ago, and now it’s where the party’s at. Cities change and evolve faster than even the people living in them, and I LOVE that. I love that Louisville is basically the biggest small town ever, with that Southern charm and that crazy swag and that overabundance of bourbon. 

However if you come across someplace FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC in your area, spill it all over the web. Tell people about it. Link it to urbanspoon and twitter and facebook, link it to me! I love new things!
