The Idiot Lexington’s self-proclaimed “first gastropub,” The Village Idiot, takes a slightly more outrageous delivers on burger deliciousness. Sure, they have a regular burger, and it’s great. But their signature burger, The Idiot, makes for a truly interesting burger experience.They start with house-ground beef from Marksbury Farm, a Garrard County farm, market and processing facility so obsessive about their beef that each patty comes from the same cow. Next, they top the patty with Tillamook Cheddar and a huge onion ring filled with braised short rib meat. Served with fries and one of 20 draft beers or dozens of bottled, The Idiot is a great choice if you’re feeling adventurous.

Classic Burger Sawyer’s began as a sit down, table service restaurant specializing in chili. Over the years it has morphed into one of downtown’s favorite burger joints. Popular with downtown lunchers and huge on game days, the Sawyer’s Classic Burger is always a hit. Inspired by his grandfather’s hamburgers, owner Jim Sawyer changed the restaurant to a line order when he introduced flat iron burgers to the menu. What makes Sawyer’s burgers special? First of all, you’ll likely be welcomed by Jim, one of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet. Order your burger, and they’ll get to work, cooking it up on a flat iron griddle that came from a Navy ship. Next comes the interesting part, the toppings bar.Think salad bar, but for your burger. Sautéed mushrooms, grilled onions, melted cheese ... dress your burger just the way you like it. Add fries or house-made chips and you have an American classic.

O’Round Since 1981 Lynagh’s has been the campus version of the laid-back Irish pub. During this time, they have been serving up what is arguably the most iconic burger in town. Offered eight different ways, this beauty has been a staple of locals and college students alike. It just works. The only thing holding the O’Round back from burger immortality is... potato chips. Potato chips just don’t cut it as a side unless they are house-made. Mercifully, they have added some optional sides in the past few years. But, get a fryer! Burger + fries = win.

193 Burger County Club’s 193 Burger began as a fundraiser for local nonprofit art gallery Institute 193, but was so popular that it quickly became a regular menu item. Chef/owner Johnny Shipley and crew create this little marvel from a blend of 80/20 Creekstone no-ash beef seared on a griddle.The patty is topped with bacon jam created from bacon, jalapeño, coffee, maple syrup and vinegar, finished off with smoked portobella and sharp cheddar, and served on a Sunrise Bakery bun smeared with gochujang ketchup (a savory, pungent and generally awesome fermented Korean condiment, made from red chili, glutinous rice, fermented soybeans and salt). Pair the 193 with some poutine — County Club’s version of the Canadian dish featuring French fries smothered with homemade gravy and cheese curds — and a beer from the wellcurated menu, and you’ll be happy.

“Burger” Sidebar Grill is as laid back, friendly and unpretentious as the name of its signature burger. Opened in 2008 by Jonny and Lisa Cox, Sidebar quickly became known as a place to get a great burger and a beer at a reasonable price.The burger is hot, fresh and delicious.The hard part is deciding what you’d like to accompany your burger — choosing among beautiful house-cut fries, thick sweet-potato fries or housemade, seasoned chips can be agonizing. They are also known for great veggie burger options.

Great kitchens of the Bluegrass
PHOTO BY SARAH JANE SANDERS
From country to contemporary, traditional to timeless, these local kitchens inspire more than great cuisine
T
oday’s kitchens are far more than a place to store and prepare food –– they are the heart of the home, designed as much for comfort and style as for function. The modern kitchen is an open space that spills into adjoining rooms and accommodates large groups. No longer hidden behind doors and walls, it is the place to entertain, prepare and serve food, work, and spend time with family. The kitchen is the new living room. On the following pages, we offer you a glimpse into a few of Lexington's finest kitchens. Feast your eyes, imagine the possibilities, borrow ideas, and be inspired.

PLU
A Historic Kitchen Made New
DESIGNER: CRAIG RUSHING, RC3
The modern renovation of this 100-year-old South Ashland home began with the dismantling of a three-story, inoperable brick fireplace. This enabled the wall between the living room and the kitchen to be removed, opening up the space and creating the functional family room/kitchen. The cooktop and hood were located on the peninsula, allowing for an open and functional area to prepare and serve food. The necessary structural beam was disguised in a continuous soffit that became a custom design element and lighting trough.

Though New England writer and grower Eliot Coleman is often linked with introducing in the 1980s the use of unheated plastic “hoop-style” greenhouses as a means of extending the harvest season into winter months, we actually owe the original conception of these ingenious structures to “the father of plastic greenhouses,” former University of Kentucky horticulture professor Emery M. Emmert.

Four Season Farming
How several local growers seasoned this winter’s extreme weather
BY RONA ROBERTS
F
our season farming? Winter harvest? Season extension? Those ag-speak terms equal big changes on central Kentucky dinner plates: locally grown fresh greens in January and February, and slices of deadripe local tomatoes a month early. We owe all that to a Kentuckian who died more than half a century ago and to what he called “field greenhouses.” Though New England writer and grower Eliot Coleman is often linked with introducing in the 1980s the use of unheated plastic “hoop-style” greenhouses as a means of extending the harvest season into winter months, we actually owe the original conception of these ingenious structures to “the father of plastic greenhouses,” Emery M. Emmert. Born in Iowa in 1900, he was hired to teach horticulture at the University of Kentucky in 1928. When he died in 1962 after 34 years on UK’s faculty, Dr. Emmert had developed ways to use plastic and the earth’s own heat to grow vegetables and fruits both earlier and later than usual, offer
fresh produce in winter months, and increase yield. Today, growers call the plasticcovered, unheated, lightweight structures he introduced “hoop houses” or “high tunnels.” Krista Jacobsen, assistant professor in UK’s Department of Horticulture, shared Emmert’s story as a way of explaining the decades-long reach of UK hoop house research. Practical application by central Kentucky growers is still in its infancy, though. “In Kentucky we have outstanding growers using high tunnels,” Jacobsen said. “There’s Au Naturel Farm near Bowling Green and growers in northern Kentucky and Louisville, but we don’t have that many locally yet.” Perhaps any grower wearing her thinking cap would look at the winter we just survived and be shocked to see that any midwinter crop production survived the extreme conditions. Yet UK and other experienced hoop house growers produced at least some fresh winter vegetables in spite of 2014’s boomeranging polar vortex. UK’s January and February harvests from three fixed and three movable hoop houses included kale, arugula and carrots. Strawberries (left), greens (right) and tomatoes (top) at the University of Kentucky’s South Farm all weathered winter's extremes. Thanks to hoop house protection, these crops mature earlier than those planted outdoors. PHOTOS BY SARAH JANE SANDERS

Berries on Bryan owner and grower Erik Walles was able to save his early chard this year, but the cold in December overwhelmed his lettuces.
PHOTOS BY SARAH JANE SANDERS
Erik Walles began growing coldloving vegetables in an unheated green house in 2006 at his Berries on Bryan Station. He said that season extension has benefitted the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) baskets produced at his farm by allowing the CSA season to start earlier and providing stronger and fuller baskets. “It allows the farmer to have a unique advantage,” he said. “You can sell good food early, and that secures loyalty.” Walles calls the hoop houses “beautiful tools, great technology.” He added a hoop house in 2012 and just completed a new hoop house this winter.
“They are in constant production,” he said of his three structures. The earth itself provides their only heat. This year so far, Walles managed to save his early chard, but the cold in December overwhelmed his lettuces. In past years, in addition to offering CSA shares and other sales, Berries on Bryan’s lettuces and greens have filled plates at nearby Windy Corner Restaurant every month of the year. Even this cold year, Walles delivered his first 10 pounds of greens to a restaurant client on the first day of spring, well ahead of outdoor crops –– credit Emmert for the assist.

Count Henkle’s Herbs & Heirlooms in Nicholasville among the latest growers to put Emmert’s findings into practice. Though relatively new to season extension, husband-and-wife team Mark and Velvet Henkle pour out enthusiasm for growing their business, and back that up with sheer hard work. Mark Henkle said, “I planted 34 varieties of pink tomatoes this year –– I have no self control.” And yes, he planted the rest of the rainbow, too. “In January, we sleep,” Velvet Henkle said. “Or we used to,” Mark added with a laugh. This January, after years of preparation, saving, grant writing, construction wrangles and sheer effort, the couple completed an eco-friendly wood boilerheated greenhouse. Like many organic and sustainable vegetable growers who need healthy, organic transplants in months when none can be bought, the Henkles plan to rely on the separate strengths of their heated greenhouse and the unheated hoop house they built in 2012. The heated greenhouse will provide the warmth that seeds need to germinate. Once the plants reach transplant size, the hoop house will provide moisture control, protection from wind and other benefits, without requiring heat.
“I planted 34 varieties of pink tomatoes this year — I have no self control.” MARK HENKLE, HENKLE’S HERBS & HEIRLOOMS
While the Henkles built most of their two plastic-covered season extension “tools” themselves, funds came from multiple sources, including the Kentucky Agricultural Development Fund, the Jessamine County Community Agricultural Investment Fund, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service of the United States Department of Agriculture. Special help comes from Mark Henkle’s father, Hubert, who often takes the deep night shifts when the temperature drops and the greenhouse boiler needs fresh wood every four hours. “He’s living my dream,” Hubert Henkle said of his son. Emery M. Emmert helped realize that dream. Emmert Farm Road, which leads to UK’s research farm off Nicholasville Road, reflects UK’s esteem for this 20th century horticulturist. When you eat that perfect local strawberry three weeks early this spring, tip your fork to his legacy. SS
After years of preparation, Velvet and Mark Henkle recently finished an eco-friendly, wood boiler heated greenhouse at their Nicholasville-based grow shop Henkle’s Herbs & Heirlooms. PHOTOS BY SARAH JANE SANDERS

Spring ‘Tonic’ Salad Spring is known as a time for rejuvenation and rebirth. Spring tonic recipes traditionally utilize the early greens and plants to help cleanse the body, restoring fresh vitamins following a long (and often stagnant) winter. This version of a spring tonic combines local greens, herbs and eggs with a hot bacon vinaigrette. All of these ingredients will be available locally at the Lexington Farmers’ Market — which celebrates its spring grand opening April 5-6 — in the early weeks of April. For more information, times and locations of Lexington Farmers' Market, visit www.farmersmarket.com. Our Spring Tonic Salad ingredients: • A mix of local greens, including mustard greens, kale and chard, harvested from Berries on Bryan • Apple Cider Vinegar, 2 tsp. • Seeded, savory stone ground mustard, 1 tsp. • Red Wattle Bacon from Hood's Heritage Hogs (Mt. Olivet, Kentucky) – 6 slices • Missing Link Farm eggs, hard-boiled and chopped • A mix of fresh herbs, including chives, peppery oregano, and French Sorrel from Michler’s Greenhouse
Recipe: • Stir cider vinegar with seeded, savory mustard. • Saute bacon, reserving the hot fat. • Pour the hot fat from the pan over the greens in a heat-proof bowl; toss quickly and thoroughly. • Add the vinegar-mustard mixture. • Add salt and pepper to taste. • Top with chopped bacon, sliced eggs, and fresh herbs.

Southsider’s Drink of the Month
The Sazerac Created in pre-Civil War-era New Orleans, the Sazerac is often considered to be America’s first branded cocktail.A variation of the Old-Fashioned, its original main ingredient was brandy, but rye whiskey now frequently replaces that liquor. A classic recipe includes an absinthe rinse of the glass, and the addition of Peychaud’s bitters (comparable to Angostura bitters) as well as a lemon. In our version, orange bitters replace Peychaud’s and the twist is orange. INGREDIENTS
DIRECTIONS
• 3 oz. rye whiskey • 1 sugar cube • 3 dashes orange bitters • 1 teaspoon absinthe • 1 orange peel • Ice cubes • Old Fashioned glass
• Chill an Old Fashioned glass by filling it with ice. Let sit while preparing rest of drink. • In a separate glass, muddle a sugar cube and bitters. Add rye whiskey and ice to the bitters glass; stir. • Discard ice from the chilled glass and pour in absinthe. Swirl the liquid in the glass, discard liquid. • Strain whiskey mixture glass into Old Fashioned glass. • Twist orange peel over glass and hang on side as a garnish. (Do not drop peel in glass.)
