Kentucky

The Bluegrass State marks the transitional space between the South and the Midwest. It sits above Tennessee, below Indiana and Ohio, and just west of the Virginias. The discovery in 1750 of the Cumberland Gap through the Appalachian Mountains opened up Kentucky to settlement. Hardy souls followed such trail-blazing pioneers as Daniel Boone along the Wilderness Road. Wheat was a bust in Kentucky, but corn grew relatively well. It was a critical food for both farmer and livestock. Plus, corn could be fermented into whiskey. Created by a Kentucky Baptist minister, bourbon is the only booze born in the United States. Though pork is king in Southern barbecue, western Kentucky stands out for its mutton barbecues – standard procedure at church events for more than 150 years. A couple of Louisville inventions deserve special notice, as well. Henry Bain sauce, named after its inventor, the head waiter at Louisville's Pendennis Club, is a sweet, tangy, spicy concoction best served with wild game or beef tenderloin. And the Hot Brown sandwich was created by the chef of the Brown Hotel. It’s an open-faced sandwich topped with turkey, tomato, bacon, and cheese sauce.

This was VERY dense but tasty. Even better after it set over night.

Chili Rick's

Reviewed on Nov. 7, 2009 by Luvs2Cook4U2 
I made this chili awhile back when I was searching for a different "type" of chili recipe than my traditional. With the addition of the sausage & bacon with the ground beef..this chili is off the charts delicious! I served mine with home made cornbread and topped off with a mild cheddar cheese.. trust me with so much flavor you only need a mild cheese. It's flavorful and filling..in fact, it made so much, that I have leftovers in the freezer! A true 5-star recipe.

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread II

Reviewed on Nov. 7, 2009 by LouisvilleHugger 
I used shortening as directed as I am none to bothered with it, I actually like what it does for recipes. I don't use it often but it seems that it's in some of the best dessert recipes from this site. I think there's something to be said for shortening. "Here, here", lol. Good bread, better the next day. I'm sure I'll make it again.
