The good news just keeps coming. National organizations are starting to realize all the great stuff Louisville has to offer. This week it’s Zagat<\/a> naming Louisville one of The 8 Best Foodie Getaways Around the World. High praise indeed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what the piece had to say about our city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Louisville, KY
What to eat: This is Bourbon Country y\u2019all. In Louisville, you\u2019ll find an impressive amount of top-notch restaurants featuring both rustic and city-fied food…to pair with your brown spirits of course. Visit some distilleries (Maker\u2019s Mark, Jim Beam, Buffalo Trace) before dining at upscale restaurant, Proof on Main<\/a>, where dinner could include chickpea-ham fritters or split pea panisse and should include some housemade charcuterie. The infamous hot brown – a turkey, bacon and tomato open-faced sandwich covered in mornay sauce – can be found at the Brown Hotel<\/a>, where it reportedly was created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to stay: The 21C Museum Hotel<\/a> is THE place to stay in Louisville. This boutique spot boasts eclectic decoration in the heart of Bourbon country. Bonus: Proof on Main, one of the top area restaurants is located in the hotel. Rooms from $185 per night.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps even more amazing is that Louisville was the only American winner. Wow! Other great destinations in the full list are listed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  5. Vieques, Puerto Rico<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Morelia, Mexico<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Cairo, Egypt<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    This award is much more prestigious than that silly vote-stuffing competition for the South’s Tastiest Town, don’t you think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
