For any cross-country traveler, Louisville, KY is a must-see destination. Home to at least 4 unique regional dishes,
the traditionally Mutton-based stew Burgoo – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgoo

… Louisville, is also home to local catfish, pit barbecue, and is the birthplace of bourbon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourbon_County%2C_Kentucky).
Furthermore, because it’s firmly entrenched in southern regional cuisine, you can also find great sweet tea and many outstanding meat and three’s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meat_and_three).
And now is the point in the review where I profundicate on the incredible meal that I had in Louisville — how good and fattening the Hot Brown was — how sweet the Derby Pie — how strong the bourbon. The only problem — I went to eat with my lovely friends Carlos, Erica and Shannon and they took me to a restaurant that serves NONE of the foods that made the Louisville culinary scence famous.
They took me too a tapas restaurant where we had Sangria, tapas, cuban sandwiches, lamb, hummus, olives — lots of good food.
So at one point they tried to tell me an interesting story about this restaurant, but I was too distracted or drunk to listen to the story.
So, in a few days, when Carlos and Shannon and Erica return from a trade show, you’ll have an interesting story to go along with the pretty pictures.
