To coattail on Nina's fast food thread, what local or regional eateries, not national chains, are in your area and worth s visit. Doesn't have to be gourmet, just really good.
Since moving to Louisville, I've discovered that no *real* Louisvillian actually eats at KFC. There's a reason for that, to whit, half the gas stations in town have better fried chicken than KFC. There are three contenders for best fried chicken in Louisville. Kings, Indi's, and Dixie Chicken. I've had the latter two and they're both so much better than KFC it's like comparing stripper OTC to HIV infected, crackhead street hookers. I've heard equally glowing reviews of Kings; it's next on my list.
These are my picks, others might beel differently.
For steak, it's Pat's Steakhouse and Del Frisco's. Both of them are at least on par with Ruth's Chris, and far more reasonably priced.
For fish it's Passtime, a place in Middletown that looks like an old broken down redneck bar, and Mike Linnigs, a more family oriented place in the western part of town. Irish Rover serves up a good fish fry too.
For burgers, Mussel and Burger Bar. Locally sourced beef. I'm told the other menu items are fantastic as well, but I'm not very adventurous.
In the so-called NuLu section of town, there's a ton of different ethnic places, and on Bardstown road you can find a hundred little specialty places. Jack Fry's is *really* good American food, but a little on the pricey side.
