Comfort Food and Cocktails
|
|
Kentucky's cuisine is a blend of traditional Southern cooking with elements from the Midwest. Some of the unique dishes include Hot Brown, made with layers of toasted bread, turkey, bacon, tomatoes and mornay sauce. Northern Kentucky has a German-American influence, with a preference for beer and European sausages. The old-fashioned cocktail, which originated in Kentucky, was first crafted at the Pendennis Club in Louisville, a historic social club that still remains open today. |
