Brisè, the new “upscale, French-inspired bistro” at Norton Commons

Granted, not everyone in metropolitan Louisville maintains a subscription to the Courier Journal, or possesses artful strategies for slipping past the pay wall, not that I’m recommending this sort of anti-social behavior. This said, at the very same time as the nation France itself is experiencing a period of civic unrest … President Emmanuel Macron […]

Byrd’s Hot Chicken, a California chain coming to New Albany

3306 Plaza Drive in New Albany is but a two-minute walk from my old stomping grounds at the New Albanian Brewing Company (3312 Plaza Dr.) on the north side of town. Lately, even though we shop at Aldi, I’ve been paying so little attention to the vicinity that I didn’t realize the previous tenant, Taylor’s […]

Magnolia Bakery is open in Phoenix Hill — maybe. Or tomorrow, and if not, then next Tuesday

I just did a round of Google and social media searching to determine whether the much discussed local franchise of NYC’s Magnolia Bakery is, as yet, open for business. The choices, as gleaned from five widely ranging minutes of diminishing returns, are: not open at all, already open, will be opening Tuesday the 18th, won’t […]

Taqueria La Oficina opens in Clarksville

A staggering volume of American evenings out occur at tables groaning beneath the weight of tacos and margaritas. We adore all varieties of Latin American food, perhaps because surprises are few at many area grills, cantinas and taquerias, which rely on tried and true recipes, and provide dependable service with estimable bang for the buck.
