Kentucky — Food and Dining

Cuisine

Kentucky is home to the famous ‘Kentucky Fried Chicken’, which consists of chicken fried in a secret original recipe involving a blend of 11 herbs.

Regional specialties:
• Kentucky Fried Chicken.
• Country ham, smoked and salt-cured.
• Burgoo (a meat and vegetable stew).
• Bourbon whiskey.

Nightlife

Country music is very popular in many of the bars and clubs in Kentucky, which is not surprising for a state that has produced stars such as Billy Ray Cyrus, Crystal Gayle, Loretta Lynn and Dwight Yoakam. Jazz performances take place at Glassworks (website: www.louisvilleglassworks.com/jazzfactory.html) on Market Street, Louisville.
