Kentucky Going Out

Food and Drink

Kentucky is home to the famous ‘Kentucky Fried Chicken', which consists of chicken fried in a secret original recipe involving a blend of 11 herbs.

Regional specialities: 
• Kentucky Fried Chicken.
• Country ham, smoked and salt-cured.
• Burgoo (a meat and vegetable stew).
• Bourbon whiskey.

Nightlife

Country music is very popular in many of the bars and clubs in Kentucky, which is not surprising for a state that has produced stars such as Billy Ray Cyrus, Crystal Gayle, Loretta Lynn and Dwight Yoakam. Jazz performances take place at Glassworks (website: www.louisvilleglassworks.com/jazzfactory.html) on Market Street, Louisville.

Shopping

Berea (website: www.berea.com) is Kentucky's arts and crafts capital. Local shops sell pottery, woodwork, jewellery, quilts and weaving. The largest hand-weaving studio in the USA, The Churchill Weavers produces a quality collection of ladies accessories, blankets and neckties. Louisville is great for antique shopping. Popular antique shops in Louisville include Den of Steven and Joe Ley Antiques. In western and northern Kentucky, peruse a variety of outlet malls for bargains.
