My family and I finally got to Claudia Sanders Dinner House– one of my Kentucky bucket list items – no pun intended! At the age of 69, Colonel Harland Sanders and his wife Claudia, moved from Corbin, Kentucky to Shelbyville with his chicken recipe. It was from this building in Shelbyville that Kentucky Fried Chicken grew into a world-wide organization. The Sanders […]

JW Cafe & Bakery off Old Henry Rd. in the eastern part of the city was a nice find. The moment I walked in the door, the aroma of homemade baked good welcomed me to order one of everything on the menu– but more on that later! To the right of the door is a comfy seating area that will […]

One of my most recent missions is to compile a Donut–or is it Doughnut—Shop round up for readers. That means I must check out every doughnut shop in Kentuckiana, right?! That may be a little too difficult, both on my time and my waistline, but I did recently stop into a doughnut shop my family has not been to before. […]

Just pulling up to Hi-Five Doughnuts, in Butchertown’s Butcherblock, you’re immediately greeted by the bright yellow, inviting storefront. Be prepared to wait in line at least a few minutes. We thoughtfully picked, what I had assumed to be an “off” time of day, Sunday at about 12:30, but we still had a wait time of around 5 minutes. The line […]

We visited on a Monday night and we were able to order right away. We were handed menus upon arrival and ordered our meals at the counter. The set up was similar to Joella’s […]

Over the past couple of months, I have visited both Louisville locations, but my first experience was at the original location in St. Matthews […]

We were fortunate enough to attend the media opening of Guy Fieri’s Smokehouse, with Guy himself in attendance, educating us on the fine aspects of his passion for food, as well as his affection for Louisville! Located directly in the center of Fourth […]

My family and I decided to check out RecBar recently after hearing good things about it from some friends. RecBar is located at 10301 Taylorsville Rd, near the heart of Jeffersontown. While we went to eat, my husband and kids really only agreed to go with me so that they could check out all of the old school arcade games! […]

Date nights for us usually consist of dinner and drinks out- and there is certainly no shortage of great places for dinner dates in Louisville! For my birthday though, we wanted to amp up our date night routine and do something a little more interactive and fun. I am an avid cook, partly because I love to do it and […]

Many people have heard of Vietnam Kitchen and I am one of the lucky few who live close enough to go whenever I want. We tend to get carry-out from them often but recently we decided to stop and dine in for dinner. We were not disappointed. Since we were actually staying to eat I decided to try their avocado […]
» Read moreLast summer I finally visited Cunningham’s Creekside in Prospect. Friends have told me for years that they serve THE BEST fried fish sandwich in the Louisville area. I love a fried fish sandwich. So I had to see for myself, and I concur. It was the best fish sandwich I have had here: flaky, fresh-tasting, and HUGE! I keep a […]
