Winchell’s Bar and Restaurant
This is the first time I’ve written about Winchell’s Resturant, but I promise it won’t be the last. It is by far one of my favorite spots in Lexington. Winchell’s promotes itself as a sports bar but it is much much more. The chefs are CIA (Culinary Institute of America) grads and their training totally reflects in the food they serve. And, as Al Purnell says, “It’s gooood.” Let’s...

Bourbon N’ Toulouse
First let me start off by saying the food is great, go get some! I’ve never gone to Bourbon N’ Toulouse and ordered something I didn’t like. If they do anything better than another it is layering complex flavors. You know how you will go to a restaurant and no matter what you order everything tastes similar? Well not here! The gumbo is as different as chocolate and onions to...

Village Host Pizza
The Village Host – Lexington. 431 Old Vine Street. http://www.villagehostlex.com/ - Waitress: Meg. From Buffalo! Bitchin! I’m always a harsh critic on a handful of things I eat for dinner. Having worked in some restaurants, especially in a pizza and wing joint in Buffalo, I criticize bar food pretty heavily. This place has a small assortment of beers on tap, things look up -...

Sugano Japanese Resturant
Ever since I moved to Lexington in 2000 the quality of sushi found around town has never ceased to amaze me. Seki Resturant will always be near and dear to Whitney and me, but ever since Mr. & Mrs. Seki died our go-to has been Osaka on Boston Rd. That was until I heard about this little joint off New Circle (behind where the Continental Inn used to be) that served fried shrimp heads. If you’ve...

Wallace Station
In following Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives host Guy Fieri, the wife and I took in a visit to Wallace Station in Versailles, KY. The scenic drive was amazing as well as the quaint location this little diner sits in. Upon parking and walking into the establishment, we first noticed the old-farmhouse feel to the joint. The ceiling, floors, and walls were all wood plank and worn adding to the character...

The Joedaddy Burger
Picture courtesy of Meadowthorpe Cafe Facebook Page Today I ate lunch at the Meadowthorpe Cafe. It is a neighborhood cafe on Leestown Rd in the Meadowthorpe Shopping Center (of all places) and next to another Lexington Landmark, Pops Resale. I have to give total props to Cavan for recommending this place as he tells me it is one of his top destinations for burgers in Lexington. We got on the...

Gumbo Ya Ya – Yatwich
Sunday evening was a visit to one of the few Cajun restaurants in Lexington, Gumbo Ya Ya. We were in the mood for some comfort food and have lately been on a cajun kick, so when driving by this shopping center on South Broadway, we pulled in and made our order. I normally order a healthy portion of the jambalya, but the last few times here the sausage and chicken have been getting more slim. ...

Greek Gyros at the Fayette Mall
When we go to the mall, a little trip to the food court does a tired ass shopper well. Not to mention that Tumbleweeds serves beer. Of course when I mention this, I get the “Are you really going to have beer in the afternoon when we’re out shopping” look? Ah well. Greek Gyros it is! We had the number 1, Gyro with french fries. They cook it while you wait, so I’m...

The Chop House
So, we decided to have a nice steak this weekend. We haven’t been to the Chop House in years. So, we grabbed the kids and headed to the Chop House. Location is on Richmond Road, next to Shamrocks – where we probably should have gone… The menu looked great. I could have ordered just about anything from the menu. They had a 12Oz Prime Sirloin special, so I opt for that with...
