Kentucky Playwrights at Carmichael’s March 7, 2010

The first exposure to professional theater that I remember came at Horse Cave Theatre. My dad got tickets from his work and it was so exciting to go see a real play! Later it was where I first saw Shakespeare, my seventh grade (I think it was seventh grade anyway) class went there to see [...]

Sweet Surrender Introduces New Lunch Menu

Sweet Surrender is debuting their new Spring lunch menu today but what I’m most excited about is the introduction of their new half sandwich/half slices of cake combos. For $8.75 you get a half sandwich, side and half slice of cake. That’s a good lunch deal.
They didn’t send me the entire new menu, [...]

My Newest Love: Curry Soup at Zen Garden

Mmmm curry soup. How have I lived so long without having tasted this deliciousness? How have I eaten at Zen Garden dozens of times and never looked at the soup section of the menu? I’ve been a fool all these years for verily I say to thee that curry soup filled with sweet potatoes and [...]

Ray’s has been [...]

Eat Free at Zen Garden Thanksgiving Eve

Once again Zen Garden is offering you a heck of a deal to kick your Thanksgiving holiday off: absolutely delicious free vegetarian food. The catch of course is that Zen Garden is asking you to “pay what you can” as donations instead of charging menu prices.
If, like me, you’re on a spending moratorium and [...]

Vegetarian Delight at North End Cafe

A couple weeks ago (before the spending moratorium was enacted) we had dinner at the North End Cafe with friends and it was absolutely delightful. We typically only go to the North End for breakfast so I’d kind of forgotten how much really excellent vegetarian food they have on the dinner menu.
We had the [...]
