Welcome to the Culinary Capital of Bourbon Country.

A culinary adventure in Louisville takes you deep into the heart of the Bourbon Country lifestyle. But Bourbon isn’t the only star of our menus. Our chefs are taking traditional regional Southern dishes and putting their own unique twists on them, making Louisville the epicenter for “New Southern Cuisine”. And of course, you’ll need to learn the local food language of treats like: Benedictine, Burgoo, Modjeskas and the Hot Brown. Don’t be afraid to ask!
