Organic, locally grown food prepared by a gourmet chef with a Southern flair. Excellent. Best omelet I've ever eaten. Or try the burger on pretzel bun with hog-jowl jelly. Crazy good.

In my opinion, the best coffee in Louisville, a pretty coffee-snobbish city. If you're looking for the best, this is a drive, but it'll be worth it. Recognized by one mag as 6th best in the nation.
