OK, I confess, I probably have an anchovy use disorder … The thought of those small fillets, cooked in so many different ways, just makes my mouth water. I have to have them if they are on the menu, and I would pay almost anything (within limits) for the freshest of these little darlings. Unfortunately,…
Recently I had the pleasure of interviewing Chef Rodney Jones at his restaurant in Georgetown Kentucky, Rodney’s on Broadway. He was very gracious with his time and I enjoyed the interview immensely.

Since then we have been there on numerous occasions. The restaurant is in an old home built in the 1800s, that has been remodeled for the restaurant. However, it still keeps it’s…

What to serve with the Scotch Egg is something of a controversy. One author suggested, “A truly great scotch egg…
There are delicious, tart (from the apples), cheesy (from the blue cheese) and savory from the other added ingredients. They are small bite sized pieces that work great for a party or a Tailgate! The picture above is filling the tartlets with a scoop of filling, but leaving them in the original plastic container to…
There were 8 of us on this beautiful 28th day of October. We had tickets for Keeneland, and did our very first Keeneland Tailgate early that day. We had 4 cars back to back, and loads of great food. In the picture above and below, my sister is in the middle, note the hat! In…
