Starters:
- 8UP opened its doors Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights to offer the public free food (but not free drinks!) from their "progressive American" bar and dinner menus. They will open to the public on November 17, 2014.
- For Goodness Crepes is coming to 619 Baxter Avenue. You can check out their Facebook Page here!
- Feast BBQ (2) has been health-department approved at their Nulu location. Get hyped.
- Rumplings has gotten an almost crazy amount of buzz in the first week and a half they've been open, and my social media has been swimming in noodle shots. It seems Louisville really DID need a real ramen shop.
- Atlantic No. 5's popular pop-up A5 is now a permanent thing, starting November 12. Read more here and make your reservations.
- Roux is now doing brunch, and this scotch egg (Cajun egg?) from their Instagram is making me hungry.
- Kevin Grangier, of the Village Anchor Pub & Roost, is taking over KT's restaurant and bar, and will be changing the concept and shaking things up in 2015. In the meantine, KT's will continue to operate as KT's.
- Bobby Flay might be coming to Louisville, but really, who knows. Is this all a tease?
- Huffington Post named Louisville a top foodie destination. Tell us something we don't know!
Endings:
- Mulligan's Pub & Grille has closed its doors, effective November 12. The Facebook post that announced the closing literally contained the words: "I have no idea why, so please don't ask me." Mulligan's is located where Kaelin's (allegedly the birthplace of the cheeseburger!) was at 1801 Newburg Road.
Booze News:
- To the chagrin of many, Meta used some of their precious Pappy Van Winkle to make Jell-o shots. Honestly, they were legitimately delicious, and several hundred people who would probably never try the ultra-rare bourbon otherwise got a taste. I agree, Pappy should be happy.
- Speaking of Meta, they also have a new menu they've been teasing on their instagram.
Eventful:
- On November 21 and 22 there will be a Taco Punk pop-up at Bank Street Brewhouse in New Albany. The post announcing the pop-up ends with: "We think the combination of Taco Punk and NABC is a good one. If the pop-up goes well...who knows?"
