Slow Food Bluegrass hosted the 2nd Annual Fried Chicken Throw Down at Resurfaced this past Saturday, October 17. The Throw Down ran from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. with other events finishing out the day. It may have been chilly, but the chicken sure heated tasters right up, especially Joella’s Fire and Royal’s Gonzo.
The bar was pouring a couple of fall cocktails with KY Peerless Distilling Co.'s bourbon and moonshine as well as draft selections from Against The Grain. Royals Hot Chicken, Wiltshire On Market, Joella's Hot Chicken, Farm to Fork Catering, Over The 9, Roux Louisville, Marketplace Restaurant, Gelato Gilberto, POLLO, MilkWood and Against The Grain Brewery provided the tastes.
The setup was very different from the previous Resurfaced by the KY Science Center. This ReSurfaced was right on the river, by the Connect/Disconnect public art exhibit, and it utalized shipping containers for decorations as well as the bar and covered seating. Sitting next to a grass riverbank was refreshing and contrasted with the urban bridge-scape very nicely.
Every single bite was tasty. However, there had to be a winner. The following three awards were decided by ballots filled out by the public in attendance.
Wiltshire takes Best Vegetarian and Best Dessert!
