About Me

I’m a food/restaurant reviewer for the Bardstown area. I've been fortunate enough to have spent vast amounts of time in the Bardstown courting my wife, playing music, eating, socializing, and did I mention eating? I do know there is more to this than writing about food masticating experiences so let me tell you about myself.

I'm a storyteller. I enjoy immersing myself around people and their stories. I'm told I'm a great cook. I'm not this guy that fixates over the Food Channel or bakes cakes that look like sneakers. I just enjoy food and enjoy the atmosphere that accompanies it. I've been fortunate to eat Kobe beef at the Tao in NY City and just as privileged to eat Lamb fries at Colonel Hawks in Bardstown.

I have never attended Le Cordon Bleu in Paris nor published any top sellers. Heck, I barely passed Home-Ec. I've never worked in a mainstream café or restaurant. I’ve cooked for a B&B in Louisville for a short while helping out my friend. I have no formal journalistic training other than helping my Dan Rather room-mate in collage. I attended Eastern Kentucky University then Jefferson Community Collage for both Computer Electronics and Business Management. I have owned a business for 5 years in the past but presently work for a great technology based company in Louisville as their Manufacturing Director. I’m an avid writer and blogger as well as a painter and active studio musician. I’ll be 40 in November. I have a stunning wife, a corky full throttled 4year old son, and have a little girl on the way…on the way meaning due right now.

This is a small light hearted, unbiased bi-monthly editorial on the restaurant/food scene in Bardstown. I will describe my dinning experiences from Maxine's Restaurant & Lounge to the Old Stable. From the Huddle House, to Xavier's, I would give the reader a personal entertaining observations of the aromas, appearance, and flavors of what Bardstown have to offer. I’m not interested in fame or fortune. Actually I would prefer to be anonymous. Please reply giving me your thoughts on this. Let me know if I'm just crazy or going through a midlife crisis. I'm just looking for another method to express myself.
