Famous Kentucky Flavors

Monday, November 13, 2023
6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

We can thank Kentucky for the cheeseburger, Bibb lettuce, the hot brown, fried chicken, and so many more famous culinary staples. This presentation will dish out the history of these famous flavors and discuss how their inventors and the cultures they come from are woven through Kentucky food and libations. Join seventh generation Kentuckian Blair Thomas Hess, author of four travel books about Kentucky (including one exploring its cuisine), to talk about how these foods have influenced our state identity. This program was funded in part by the Kentucky Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
