You try spending a month in Lexington. Burger King is nouveau cuisine in that town.

I spent a year plus there and didn't starve...no small feat for a vegetarian, they have some great places to eat and a farmers mkt.

They do not have GREAT places to eat. They do have some fair ones.

I think that's fair, Furlongs was good, not great, I heard they closed, the owner was a nice guy always at Keeneland, maybe that's why they closed. Went to the Petit Rose, was supposed to be a nice place, the Steak Diane was terrible, it was tough. There's a Japanese place, Nagasaki, not very well kept, but decent food.

Favorite after-Keeneland place to eat it is Montgomery Inn...

If you like Montgomery Inn, try Walt's Hitching Post in Fort Mitchell...

Walt's is different. Not a par-boiled rib. Dry smoked, not a wet rib like Ted Gregory's at Monty Inn.. but super tender and flavorful.

The BEST rib joint in Cincy is gone now. That was THE BARN/RIB PIT.. a former speakeasy in an alley between 5th and 6th and maybe Walnut. Might have been Gano Alley in fact... Was an unbelievable joint with live music and a cast of characters like you wouldn't believe... Reds and other visiting ballplayers, especially the veteran guys from teams in town, would hang there late at night. There and The Precinct... Damn.. I had so much fun living in Cincy it should have been against the law. (Oh wait.. a lot of it WAS against the law...)

to each his own...try Dudley's next time you are there.

blackthroatedwind · #10 07-07-2006, 10:49 AM

I've eaten in Dudley's a minimum of 25 times. It's OK. The atmosphere is fun. The food is fine but not good.

I'm a snob about food. What can I say, for me it's Suckin' up to Charlotte's or nothing.

fair enough--I don 't eat meat so I often have a different opinion than almost everyone I know that does...I will tout a place and a friend will inform me that the steak is crap or the filet is overdone...it's hard to f'up vegetables. LOL

To be honest it's very hard if you're someone who is used to going to good restaurants in NYC and you end up in smaller cities in the midwest. It isn't even necessarily the chef's fault as they simply can't get the kind of product a restaurant in a city like NY can.

the problem I see is that every meal in KY MUST be prepared in bacon grease or with bits of bacon or topped with bacon or over bacon or wrapped in bacon--see a pattern? and i'm not talking about pancetta or proscuitto.
