Since 1999, Sanders, who lives in Maysville, has lived out his mission to change the way people think about olive oil and offer more Americans a fresh, authentic and affordable extra virgin oil. First Fresh Extra Virgin Olive Oils are all-purpose extra virgin olive oils that can be used for cooking, drizzling (finishing) and dipping. Drizzle over fresh tomatoes, pasta, cheese, and grilled meats, fish and vegetables. Their buttery finish is perfect for making pesto, and even brownies.


Born out of a passion for exceptional food and gracious service, Ward 426 brings an easygoing elegance to one of Louisville's historic neighborhoods. Chef Shawn Ward's down-to-earth approach to upscale dining utilizes the freshest local ingredients in dishes that showcase the peak flavors of the season in simple yet unexpected ways. Opened in 2014, Ward 426 is a partnership between longtime friends Dean Corbett and Shawn Ward, along with Nirmesh Agrawal, former General Manager at Corbett's. Bittner's of Louisville redesigned the space with reclaimed wood, rich upholstery and brass accents for a warm and intimate experience.
