ACT Ashley Sayler of CASK Southern Kitchen & Bar
local restaurant owners in 2020, Ashley Sayler made the strategic decision to pivot and rebrand her “New American soul food” restaurant as CASK Southern Kitchen & Bar. In keeping with Louisville diners’ wants and needs at a crucial time, she created a family-friendly environment with more reasonable prices, hoping to produce more volume sales to keep the business afloat, all while expecting her first child. The revised affordable restaurant concept proved to be a big hit, from carryout and curbside pointof-sale to indoor and outdoor dining with TVs, patio, and picnic tables. by Dawn Anderson photos by Dick Arnspiger
