Louisville, KY

This week, I had a work event in Louisville, KY.  Paul decided to skip work and join me for the trip (our first night away from Andrew).  I was unfortunately sick for most of our short trip, but I did feel good enough to enjoy some wonderful meals.

Our favorite meal was lunch at Proof on Main (http://www.proofonmain.com/proof/default.aspx). I had the best quinoa I have ever tested (curried quinoa) and Paul had a bison burger.  We definitely want to go back there to check out their dinner menu. 
That night, we had dinner at Jack Frye's (http://www.jackfrys.com/) which is an old Louisville establishment that has a great vibe and excellent food.  We felt like we had gone back in time to the 60's. The restaurant was covered in old black and white photos and a jazz trio played in this tiny little corner. 

Jack Frye's was not walking distance from our hotel, so we got a cab both ways. On the way back, we rode in the most interesting cab I have ever been in. Every square each of the cab had been painted - including the vents and radio!  It was the craziest thing!  The driver told us that the artwork had been done by the previous owner - he must have had a lot of spare time on his hands.

The next day, after my event, we had lunch at Hilly Billy Tea (http://hillbillytea.com/).  That is the only tea house I know of where you can enjoy tea with smoked turkey legs!  Very odd little place, but a great meal.

Unfortunately, it was a short trip and my illness didn't allow us to do much else, but it was still nice to get some good meals (and a night off from Carrie's bedtime ritual).
