Hey thanks for the tips! Sadly I saw on Facebook that Gracie's Place in Stamping Ground has closed their doors!
==============================
Not a ride but dang fine food!
Knotty Pine on the Bayou, a Louisiana Cajun-style restaurant here in Northern Kentucky.
3 lbs / 2,5 kg crawfish appetizer. We shared this among six men.
The crawfish.
How to eat:
1. Grasp the body and tail and pull the tail off.
2. Some suck on the head/body. Not me...I discard.
3. Peel back the first ring of the shell on the tail and pull off the two feet that adjoin it.
4. Lightly squeeze the back of the tail while pulling on the meat to remove it from the shell.
5. Remove the dark vein.
6. Eat.
7. Repeat.
These were delectable. Salty, spicy, and bursting with seafood flavor. Here is a small part of the carcass pile:
My entrée: Oysters Bienville, baked on the half-shell with bread crumbs, Parmesan & Romano cheeses, topped with green onions and creole sauce. Preceded by a house salad with bleu cheese and accompanied by collard greens and boiled red potatoes (not pictured).
Classic burger and waffle fries at Howard's Place in Falmouth, Kentucky Saturday a week ago. Not an awesome burger but still beats fast food.
So mad at myself; forgot to snap a pic of some awesome appetizers we ate in La Grange, Kentucky on Sunday a week ago!
The name of the restaurant was
One Nineteen West Main. From the menu description: "
Kettle Chip Nachos: Crispy kettle chips, melty cheese sauce, a dollop of sour cream, crushed bacon, and spicy(ish) ranch dressing!"
The other appetizer was fried Reuben (corned beef) won tons with a side of thousand island dressing.
