Southern Living has named Louisville among 10 finalists in its online contest to find “the South’s tastiest town.”
The magazine gives major props to the city’s vibrant restaurant scene, saying: “A brunch and gallery-hopping date, anyone? In Louisville, saddle up for amazing food and art (often in the same spot), a shrine to artisan hams (heaven is a single-barrel bourbon and seat at a ‘ham bar’), perfect mint juleps, and buzzy hoods like Frankfort, NuLu and Bardstown Road.”
It also cites “mavericks” like Doc Crow’s Southern Smokehouse & Raw Bar and Garage Bar, plus 610 Magnolia chef (and current “Top Chef” competitor) Edward Lee.
The other finalists are Lafayette, La.; Charlottesville, Va.; New Orleans; Charleston, S.C.; Houston; Decatur, Ga.; Raleigh, N.C.; Birmingham, Ala.; and Baltimore.
You can vote for our tasty town through Jan. 31 at southernliving.com.
