Resurrection Fig
The Resurrection Fig is a celebration of a new beginning for one of my favorite haunts as it re-opens post-pandemic in Louisville, Kentucky.
Kentucky Burgoo
Kentucky Burgoo is made with wild game meat. However, if you’re squeamish you can use chicken, pork and beef, but still call it burgoo.
Cucumber Gin & Tonic
The Aviary’s Cucumber Gin & Tonic has never been on their menu, but it’s on mine. A work of art and study in chemistry.
Visiting Happy Hollow
For a Kentucky boy, visiting Happy Hollow and Bill Samuels, Jr. is like going to fantasy camp to play catch with Babe Ruth and Whitey Ford, Yogi Berra and Derek Jeter.
Christmas Menu
Standing prime rib roast, the world’s best mashed potatoes, roasted green beans and pecan pie make this a Christmas Menu to celebrate.
World’s Best Mashed Potatoes
The first time I served the world’s best mashed potatoes, my daughter-in-law said, “throw away every other recipe, these are the best I have ever eaten.”
Certifiably Nuts
Certifiably nuts, heavy on cashews. They are the ultimate bar mix that will tempt you to remain there longer than you should.
Hot Buttered Rum
Santa Claus and Pirates all love Hot Buttered Rum for the holidays. Did Santa “borrow” his Ho-Ho-Ho tagline from them? He might owe royalties.
Holiday Eggnog
Home-made Holiday Eggnog will forever change your life for the better. You can thank me later. You’re Welcome!
Springerle Cookies
Springerle Cookies are a traditional German, anise flavored “biscuit”. Perfect for licorice lovers and wonderful with a good cup of coffee!
