If one is traveling to Louisville during the last weekend of September, they should check out our Bluegrass Balloon Festival. This past weekend was the 10th annual installment of the festival that used to be put on by Adam Matthews Cheesecake out at Bowman Field. Lynda and I had only attended it once before in [...]

I am sure that most of you have noticed the badge at the end of my restaurant reviews here on the blog with a link to Urbanspoon.com. One of the first applications I downloaded from the iPhone App Store the first weekend that the store was open, was the one for Urbanspoon. I was intrigued [...]

Back during the 80s I would have agreed without hesitation, and although they still serve one of the better chunks of ground cow on a bun, they are no longer the absolute best.
