| Kitsch reigns with toys on the tables and plenty of Formica and Bakelite. But that is not the case when it comes to out-sized servings of Kentucky-accented dishes. You’d probably be hard-pressed to find another breakfast of bourbon ball french toast topped with bourbon vanilla custard, chocolate syrup and fresh strawberries. Proprietor Lynn Winter prevailed when challenging chef Bobby Flay on the Food Network with the Kentucky Farmhouse Scramble (locally sourced eggs scrambled with country ham and garnished with fried green tomatoes). Lunch favorites include a fried green tomato BLT and a quarter-pound burger garnished with bourbon-infused bacon. Dinner entrées showcase pan-fried chicken with Woodford Reserve bourbon and mustard sauce, spicy seared salmon, and meatloaf topped with marinara. Save room for the Derby Pie milkshake, a very grown-up beverage made with (what else?) bourbon. But in case your taste buds call for other quaffs, there are some good choices on the short wine list and a number of decent beers and cocktails. This could be the perfect spot for a mint julep. |
