I am not a foodie or whatever the term is.  I will be doing future in-depth reviews, but here are a few locally-owned Kentucky places I like to eat.  Check these out:

Louisville:

Oskar’s Slider Bar – A good place to get dinner or lunch

Twig & Leaf – Affordable, quirky, and a piece of Bardstown Road history

WW Cousins – Known for its burgers and fries right at the entrance to St. Matthews

Bearno’s – Louisville-style Pizza?  Who knew?

Highland Coffee – I made my first visit recently.  The coffee and vegan foods were affordable and good.  Parking can be tricky, but there are plenty of side streets for parking.

Lexington:

Joe Bologna’s – I always enjoy eating here when visiting Lexington.

I am a vegetarian, and all of these places have vegetarian options.  Highland Coffee has a lot of vegan options as well.

Northern Kentucky:

Reality Tuesday Cafe – Park Hills has a nice coffee shop with plenty of hummus.

La Rosa’s – This Cincinnati institution has plenty of locations in Northern Kentucky too.
