FOOD TOUR OF THE SOUTH:
Kentucky
With Kentucky’s best-known exports being racehorses and bourbon, it’s only appropriate that the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games hosted there be paired with great food. The James Beard Foundation is sponsoring a series of dinners pairing Kentucky chefs, including five-time James Beard Foundation Award nominee Kathy Cary, with nationally known celebrity chefs during each night of the Games. At Lilly’s Bistro in Louisville, Cary combines the ingredients—catfish, country ham, locally sourced meats, cheeses, and produce— of her native state with flavors and techniques from Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean to create some of the Bluegrass State’s most innovative dishes. www.kentuckytourism.com
