Pack Your Knives, and Stay Top Chef Comes to Kentucky

K

entucky’s culinary champs have a long history of creating compelling food television. No one would know this better than Top Chef’s Bravo execs, who announced that Season 16 of the hit series will begin filming this Spring in the bluegrass state, including stops in Lexington, Louisville, and Lake Cumberland. In 2011, Louisville’s Chef Edward Lee, frustrated with only making it as far as the second-chance bubble round in the season premiere of Top Chef Texas, got serious in episode two, telling the camera “if they leave me here in the stew room long enough, I’m gonna kill the other five people to get that jacket. That’s how bad I want it.” (He looked like he might kill and eat them. Which would have made for an awesome Peter Greenaway-inspired Quick Fire Challenge. #TeamEd)

Midway through that episode, he reinforced his commitment when he sliced open his hand, and kept cooking — with a medic working on one hand while he prepped with the other. It was a gusher. Real Dan Akroyd as Julia Child material. But he just gloved up and kept going. (Take that Jamie Lauren! Inferior Top Chef All-Star

contestant who abandoned her teammates to get stitches for a little nick.) If that duck looked suspiciously juicy, well… he earned the Jacket and that’s what counts.

Lee had already reigned supreme in 2010 when he bested Jose Garces on Iron Chef. In 2011, he advanced to the final rounds of Top Chef Texas. Louisville’s Ashley Holt won TLC’s Next Great Baker, and even though Lexington’s James Brown’s only made

it a few rounds before withdrawing from the competition to undergo brain surgery, he remained a fan favorite. Louisville’s Damaris Phillips charmed Food Network audiences when she announced “I am from Kentucky. And I like to drink,” on Season 9 of Food Network Star, cruising to the grand prize and landing her own show, Southern at Heart (which premiered in October of 2013).

Lexington chef Lucy Seo made her television debut on the Food Network’s Guy’s Grocery Games, hosted by Guy Fieri.

Lexington Diner’s Ranada Riley also appeared on Guy Fieri’s Guy’s Grocery Games and later Cutthroat Kitchen.

Field of Dreams, Field of Faith In the Dugout with UK’s Nick Mingione BY JOSH CAUDILL

I

nside Cliff Hagan Stadium, under the bright blue sky, the grass is as green as it has ever been. Baseball practice is wrapping up. Players are jovial but focused as they trot off the field, gloves in hand and the brims of their caps hiding their eyes but not their smiles. It feels nostalgic and a scene reminiscent of childhood days of having a catch (and having fun).

One man in black and blue Kentucky gear walks alongside the players while delivering instructions. He talks with the grounds crew as they clean up the field before walking over to sit in the dugout. This is Kentucky head coach Nick Mingione.

The 39-year old coach and New York native has his team ranked No. 7 in the nation and hoping to build off an incredible 2017 campaign that saw Mingione, in his first year, lead the Wildcats to the NCAA super regional, the first ever in the program’s history. “Last year, we had this magical season and people ask me, ‘You didn’t hardly recruit any of these players,

how was that even possible?’ The easiest way I can sum it up is, through love and accountability,” Mingione said. “We’ve loved our players but we’ve also held them accountable. Everything that our program is built upon is number one, our family.

“Last year, every single Kentucky player wrote a thank you letter to season ticket holders in the middle of the season. It was important for Mingione to find ways for the program to connect with the Big Blue Nation.”

to join the Wildcats. It was a moment that is still fresh in his mind even today and would also set the stage for an eventual head coaching position. Lexington’s bluegrass made an impression.

“I came straight to the baseball field. It was the greenest grass I’ve ever seen. I remember rolling up here that summer day and looking at the green grass and looking through the gate, going, ‘Wow! This is my new home.’ We had this magical season and we won the SEC for the first time ever and I just remember thinking, ‘I could

his faith is at the very core of his identity. Even from the days of sleeping on couches and in locker rooms as a volunteer assistant, he was faithful, and he isn’t shy about it.

“That’s the most important part of my life. I truly believe that is the foundation of my house and when you try to get to get to the core of what’s inside me, that’s the most important part of my life,” Mingione said. “When that part is in order, everything else is in order. All of a sudden, I’m the best husband I need to be. I’m the best dad I need to be. I’m the best coach I need to be. It starts with my faith. That is

“Having a family atmosphere is the most important piece to our baseball program and with that, there’s a lot of different layers. You have to talk about trust. You have to talk about honesty. You got to talk about brutal honesty. The next thing is, winning. It’s really important for our guys to not only win at baseball but in all areas of their life. The third piece is the development piece. They have to come here and be better than they were when they got here. Those three areas of development are student, person and player.”

A

fter assistant coaching stints with Florida Gulf Coast and his alma mater Embry-Riddle, Mingione’s first experience in the Bluegrass would come in 2005 after a phone call with then Kentucky head coach John Cohen. While in Lewiston, Idaho preparing for the national championship with Embry-Riddle, Mingione got a call from Cohen who wanted to know how fast he could come to Lexington. He told Cohen that they were going to leave Idaho the next day and then he would need two days in Daytona before he could get here.

Before he fully committed to the job offer, he asked if it was okay to attend a mission trip that was planned to Latvia that summer. Cohen didn’t hesitate in agreeing to it. According to Mingione, if he would’ve said no, he wouldn’t have understood who Mingione was and what was important to him.

Without ever seeing the University of Kentucky, Mingione was on his way

be the head coach here one day and I want to be the head coach here one day,’” Mingione said.

“My wife will tell you, from the first time I ever met her, she asked me, ‘Do you want to do this coaching thing for the rest of your life?’ and I said, ‘Yeah, I do. I’m actually going to be the head coach of Kentucky one day, and sure enough, here I am.”

M

ingione’s faith and confidence of what the future held is both profound and admirable. Then again,

the foundation of who I am.”

W

ith the Kentucky head coach, what you see is what you get. It’s genuine and in sports, that isn’t always the case. He’s animated on the field and in sharing his passion for his faith and his family. And as much as he loves baseball, it pales in comparison to when he talks about his wife Christen and three-year old son Reeves. It was in Starkville, Mississippi where Mingione was an assistant at

aceweekly.com


FEATURE Mississippi State and where he would meet his future wife. Once a week, a core group of people from the athletic department and the community would get together to play a nongambling card game called “Hand and Foot.” They had a mutual friend but as Mingione tells it, they were both so stubborn that if they had known they were going to be set up, they would never agree to it. Christen was invited to a card game that night. As stated by Mingione, the smartest thing he’s ever done was letting her win, but Christen disputes that the win wasn’t legitimate.

Kentucky have completely embraced Mingione and the baseball team. And it shows. The night of the regional finals when Kentucky defeated N.C. State at home to advance to the super regionals, a ray of hope shimmered thru the cool down. “When I came here in 2005 and saw the team and everything that went into 2006, I truly believed that this was possible. I saw how much the people loved baseball,” Mingione said. “I remember going to speak to a Little League team in 2006 and I was amazed at how many people were at this Little League ballpark. I remember thinking, we got

The kids would come in the dugout to meet the players and take pictures before the game and let the birthday boy throw out the first pitch.

for his dad to come home from work and play catch.

“We invite teams to run out on to the field with us and stand with our players during the national anthem. We want them to be a part of it,” Mingione said. “Every single Friday night of SEC games, we decided we’re going to have fireworks. What little kid doesn’t want to see fireworks? Then we decided after every single Saturday game, let’s have the kids run the bases and every Sunday after

He would come to know and learn about her heart and how important her faith was in her life as well and as a result, they have been together ever since. Family is everything him, both on and off the field and he echoes that sentiment.

love spending time with my wife and our son. Christen and I go on a date every single week, we don’t miss. There’s nothing that could come up to not allow us to have that one-on-one time together because when you think about how we’re going to be good parents for our son, Reeves, it starts with our marriage and our relationship,” Mingione said. “I really enjoy that and spending time with Reeves. I enjoy reading with him at night and putting him to bed. I love that.”

“I would hope someone would look back and go, ‘That’s a guy that loved God, he served God and served everybody that he was around and not only did he talk the talk, he walked the walk and he woke up every day trying to make people better in all areas of their life,’” Mingione said. “That’s what I would hope.” Kentucky (8-1) will be on the road as they take on the University of Houston (4-2) on Friday, March 2 at 4: 30 p.m.

But when he’s not with his family or on the baseball field, the one thing the baseball coach wants to do is go fishing. He and Christen bought a place in town and it’s on the water. He has only been fishing 10 times in a year and half but for those 10 times, he could tell you where he went and every fish he caught.

Enthusiasm for America’s favorite pastime is reaching new levels in the Bluegrass. Next season, the Wildcats will play in their brand new $49 million stadium. Home attendance records are being broken. Lexington and the entire state of

“My absolute favorite thing to do on a baseball field is to watch our players have a dogpile and celebrate. We spend all of this time together trying to do something, to watch them overcome with joy and emotion is a really neat deal,” Mingione said. “I sit back and get emotional and just watch them because I think anybody who has children will tell you, to watch your kids celebrate and be so happy is such an amazing feeling.” But for Mingione, regardless of what his legacy blossoms into, how he wants to be ultimately viewed will not come from how many SEC Championships he wins or how many players he puts into the pros or how many College World Series appearances he attains, it’s bigger than that.

“I

Despite the levels of success Mingione has brought Kentucky to in his brief time at the helm, he doesn’t act like a rock star and exudes a sense of humbleness regarding the groundwork to make Kentucky a national power in baseball.

It all comes back to family. Kentucky baseball is all about family and that element never leaves Mingione’s mindset even from the dugout. He’s helping build something special.

to get these people a product and put something on the field that they can be excited about and connect with so there’s been a lot of time and intentional effort to build it.”

Last year, every single Kentucky player wrote a thank you letter to season ticket holders in the middle of the season. It was important for Mingione to find ways for the program to connect with the Big Blue Nation

They started having birthday parties for children that wanted to celebrate their birthday party with them.

SEC games, what do we do? We have our players stay and sign autographs. There’s been a lot of intentional effort to connect with the people of Lexington and this state.”

Emphasizing those special moments for the kids goes back to Mingione’s earliest memories of when he fell in love with baseball. Those special times when he was seven years old, living in New York and playing baseball in his small backyard with his two brothers, watching the New York Yankees on WPIX and waiting

Chasing Shamrocks ‘Coddle’ up for St. Patrick’s Day

F

BY TOM YATES

rom the misty green fields of Ireland to the windswept bluegrass of Kentucky, we’re all a wee bit Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. Carpe diem. When Lexington rolls out the green carpet to celebrate the patron saint of Ireland, there’s something Itsh for just about everyone in every restaurant, on every corner, and in every bar throughout town. Green beer, Guinness Stout, and Irish whiskey flows freely from indoor, outdoor, and curbside bars. Whether strictly authentic or riffs on authenticity, Irish fare stands front and center. Variations of Shepherd’s Pie, Colcannon, Lamb Stew, Corned Beef and Cabbage, Irish Stew, Boxty, and Guinness-infused anything are plentiful. Fancy a parade? Grab a drink and stake claim to a curb on Main Street to soak in the familiar sound of bagpipes echoing through the downtown buildings to usher in the throngs of Irish dancers, horses, cars, and clowns happily meandering down Main Street. Go ahead, raise a glass, kiss the Blarney Stone, or forage for clovers. Eat, drink, and be merry. When the frivolity wanes, the festivities ebb, the parade passes by, and it’s time to retreat, cuddle up with a comforting bowl of Dublin Coddle.

D

ublin coddle, in its purist form, is a humble Irish stew containing only chopped potatoes, sliced onions,

aceweekly.com

Irish pork sausages, bacon (rashers) and parsley layered in a pot with enough stock or water to cover and left to simmer (coddle) low and slow for 2 to 4 hours. Variations (considered sacrilege by some folks) might include carrots, parsnips, or pearl barley. Staying true to the spirit of a traditional Dublin Coddle, I brought the Emerald Isle to the bluegrass with the local flavors of Kentucky. Dublin Coddle. Porked. After drizzling 1/4 cup vegetable oil into the bottom of a cast iron dutch oven set over medium heat, I fried 1/2 pound sliced Foothills Meats fresh bacon for 5-6 minutes until crisped before scooping the pieces out onto paper towels to drain. While the oil was still sizzling hot, I placed 1 1/2 pounds Stonecross Farm pork

sausages into the pot and let them rip, turning occasionally, until they were deeply caramelized on all sides. After removing the sausages to drain, I tumbled 10 peeled whole shallots into the steaming pork fat. When the shallots softened and started to brown, I added 4 whole (peeled and smashed) garlic cloves along with 2 sliced leeks. Just before the leeks took on color, I deglazed the pot with 3/4 cup Kentucky Ale Bourbon Barrel Stout and let it reduce by half before pulling it from the heat. Layered. Off the heat, I scattered 5 sliced carrots over the shallots followed by a layer of chopped yukon gold potatoes, chopped Casey County white sweet potatoes, salt, pepper, and minced fresh parsley. After nestling the sausages into the potatoes, I showered

them with additional parsley and topped everything off with overlapping 1/2” thick sliced potatoes. After adding enough chicken stock to cover the sausages, (about 2 1/2 cups), I brought the stock to a boil, reduced it to a simmer, covered the pot, and slid it into a low preheated 325 degree oven to coddle in its juices for 2 1/2 hours. I pulled the stew from the oven and brushed the top layer of potatoes with melted unsalted butter. After spooning the tender pork sausages and softened sweet vegetables over seasoned plumped pearl barley, I finished with the unctuous drinkable broth, Celtic grey sea salt, cracked black pepper, and fresh parsley.

NEAT: The Story of Bourbon Capturing the Spirit of Kentucky

BY JOSH CAUDILL

HELP WANTED PHOTO BY NEAT

ourbon captures Kentucky’s spirit as integrally as horses, basketball or limestone. Wading into the history of America’s spirit is the new documentary NEAT: The Story of Bourbon, taking viewers on a tour of characters who’ve made bourbon their passion. It was released for streaming in February and is available on DVD in March. Director David M. Altrogge and producer A.J. Hochhalter have a special viewing scheduled in Frankfort at the Grand Theatre on Friday, March 2. The doc features Kentucky’s adopted son, actor Steve Zahn serving up humor and bourbon history from his leather easy chair while stroking a stuffed fox. It also includes a man who turned his basement into a Speakeasy, and a bourbon archaeologist who spends his weekends scouring the woods of Kentucky to discover the root of it all. “It starts with the corn growing in the soil and the barley, the wheat and the rye but also the oak trees to make the barrel. Everything about bourbon comes from the soil,” said Don Halcomb, a manager and farmer at Walnut Grove Farms. “Bourbon gives you a way to live in Central Kentucky just for a moment of your life whether you’re actually there or not.” Altrogger navigates through what’s required to be considered bourbon, the aging process of the barrel and how it produces the flavor all the way through topics such as the struggles of prohibition, its instrumental role in the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, the federal government recognizing it as America’s spirit, its decline and its climb back. Castle and Key Master Distiller Marianne Barnes Figureheads from Kentucky distilleries such as Four Roses, Heaven Hill, Buffalo Trace and even Jimmy Russell of Wild Turkey are on hand to provide charm and a nod to the culture. However, meeting 30-year old Marianne Barnes, Kentucky’s first female master distiller since Prohibition, displayed the admiration and appeal that bourbon provides to the new generation. “It’s really important to take care of the soil and to nourish the soil that’s going to feed the plants that will eventually go into bourbon. Corn grows for four months and is pulling

from the earth. The oak trees that eventually go into the barrels that are going to contain your product for four years have been drawn from the earth upward of 40-50 years,” Barnes said. “Every season that has come and gone and every change in the environment, you’ll eventually taste in a glass of bourbon. In a lot of ways, it’s like drinking history.” Once named Forbes “30 Under 30” and now the master distiller at Castle and Key Distillery, Barnes likens the maturing process of bourbon to the “sunny days” and “snowy days” that will add up to something beautiful. On the other end of the spectrum from Barnes is Buffalo Trace’s third generation distillery worker Freddie Johnson, a prominent figure in the documentary. Bourbon is in his blood. Johnson’s grandfather James B. Johnson was a close friend of Col. Albert B. Blanton, who preserved the distillery for over five decades. NEAT captures Johnson in his element as a tour guide for the distillery, educating newcomers on the art of tasting. His father was the one who rolled out Buffalo Trace’s six millionth barrel, and in celebration of the occasion he was given a 20-year old bottle of Pappy Van Winkle, which the younger Johnson wanted to save for a later occasion but his father insisted they enjoy it now, together. According to Johnson, bourbon is “almost like a legacy” with its ability to transport you back in time. He knows and he loves bourbon…but it’s deeper than that for him as he reveals in the film. “It’s not about the whiskey,” Johnson said. “It’s about the lives you touch and the people you meet and the whiskey is the byproduct of a good relationship.”
