Hit & Miss

After a battle of cabin fever from the snow, we were all excited to have a beautiful sunny day to explore a new lunch spot. After some discussion we decided to try Crave Café at 2250 Frankfort Avenue. We had high expectations for this small, but inviting café. I had The Guido, a grilled chicken & pesto sandwich on a ciabatta bread, a cup of chicken artichoke soup and a side of bleu cheese slaw. The sandwich was average, while the soup seemed to be lacking. The combination of the vinegar dressing and blue cheese on the slaw was a bit overwhelming for my taste buds. [...]

Jam’s been out sick this week, so things have been a bit slow around here. I’m sure no one wants to read reviews of the places I’ve run out quickly for lunch by myself this week. Everyone knows what Subway, LJS and Q*doba tastes like, right?

I did however re-visit Kentucky Barbecue Company again (alone). That’s where I go when I’m feeling lonely around lunchtime (ha ha). My review still stands…excellent food and friendly service. There was quite a big crowd as well. Word’s getting out!

This place has generated quite a bit of Highlands buzz. Is Bardstown Road ready for another Indian place? And one with a daily buffet, unlike Kashmir’s weekend-only all-you-can-eat dining (UPDATE: Kashmir now has a daily buffet)? Exciting! But will it take over the long-standing rein of one of Sammy’s favorite Bardstown Road eateries? Read on…

The LouisvilleLunch crew used to visit Willy’s semi-regularly. I guess not as regularly than I thought, because last week when we rolled up, we noticed a name change. When we asked the waitress, she said the changeover happened a few months ago. Wow. Way to keep up on the restaurant scene, Sammy! [...]

I’ve been fancying things up around LouisvilleLunch.com tonight, err… this morning.

Now you can rate our reviews here at the bottom of each post. It’s a quick click after you read a review. If you’re too shy to post a comment, clicking those cute little stars will make you feel like a part of our little restaurant review blog here. We really want your feedback!

Another feature I’ve implemented is polls. So far, I’ve added a “Best Pizza in Louisville” poll. It only shows up on the Pizza reviews. We plan on adding these over time to our posts, so go look for them and vote. It’s more fun than the Presidential primaries!!! We promise!

See the stars down below? Try ‘em out!

If you remember from my El Mundo review, I really enjoy Mexican food. Now I’m not sure how “authentic” these types of restaurants are – you know the ones with approximately the same menu – but man, they have some Good Eats, as my man Alton Brown would say.

I’ve always really liked Spinelli’s and our last visit was no exception. This place has got (almost) everything I like in a restaurant: a)Good Food b)Good Atmosphere c)Good Service…well, 2 out of 3, as they say, ain’t bad.

Ricky decided to head out with Jam and I today for lunch. Before we left, we made a list of possible places for us to vote on:

• Toast on Market
• Market on Market (trend here??)
• Irish Rover
• Artemesia

Toast was the last one mentioned (by Ricky) and we all excitedly agreed. Breakfast for lunch or dinner (and even breakfast!) is always a good thing for me. The place was packed and we had to wait about 10 minutes. Not bad for a Tuesday afternoon. [...]

Chinese buffets…love ‘em or hate ‘em. I love ‘em. Jam loves ‘em. Our wives…not so much. Jade Garden Chinese Buffet is, needless to say, one of our Louisville Lunch hotspots. [...]

Just wrapped up a big project that’s been keeping me a bit busy the past week…Got some writin’ to do here….
