I get to drive past on the way to a wedding in Cincinnati

To make matter worse, the wedding starts 30 minutes before kickoff. When will folks realize you can't just plan weddings on fall Saturdays?

Alumni tailgate

We usually do these at away games. We have never been disappointed. They are having bourbon tasting at this one.

The areas around Lexington are so much more interesting than anything in Louisville. The Bourbon distilleries, craft beer breweries, horse farms, and battlefields are pretty nice.

Louisville just sucks when it's not Derby Week.

This, Lexington is my favorite place to visit. Farms are unreal, Keeneland is the the most beautiful track I have visited, and the people are friendly. Thought I would have a Horse running this weekend at Keeneland but they just are not quite there yet, and may never be

There's also a moonshine distillery in Lexington now. It's the Barrel House Distillery. It had just opened when I left Lexington, but if it's like any other brewery or distillery in the area, it's legit.

We are eating at Winchells tonight.
All the Bluegrass Hospitality Group (Malones, Saks, etc) were booked for large parties.
Sure is pretty up here.

Depends on what you like.

Pazzo's has pretty good pizza and a good selection of craft beers.

Ramsey's Diner is really popular for southern food.

Malone's has been voted one of the best steakhouses in the country before.

Joe Bologna's is really good Italian food.

Tolly Ho is the go to place for late night food after drinking all day.

Bourbon n' Toulouse, from what I hear, has some of the best Cajun and Creole food outside of Louisiana.

It really depends on what your thing is.
