Papalino’s Pizza Opening Today on Baxter Avenue

B and I were playing hooky yesterday afternoon and ended up down on Baxter Avenue where J. Gumbo’s used to be. I’d heard rumor of a pizza place opening up there but hadn’t really done any investigating until yesterday. As I was snooping, staring in the window trying to read the menu board (the 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 Parella’s Is Closing

Friend of Consuming Louisville Ricky Irvine sent me a note letting me know that Ray Parella’s is  closing. I’d heard rumblings about the closing but I hadn’t been by there to verify it for myself. 

Ricky posted a picture of Ray’s and a banner proclaiming that they’re closing for good on December 31, 2009. 

Ray’s has been [...]

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 [...]

Oktoberfest Chef Dinner at River Bend Winery October 28, 2009

I’m not a big fan of German food. Well at least I don’t think I am, I mean the smell of cooked cabbage makes me absolutely nauseous and I don’t eat much meat (and absolutely no veal or pork). That being said everything but the Weiner Schnitzel with cabbage and apples on the menu of [...]

Where to Eat in Louisville: Volare

I had never been to Volare until about a month ago when we went with some dear friends. We had a great time. The food was outstanding, service great and the atmosphere upscale but relaxed and not stuffy. So when we wanted to take a friend out for his birthday last week we decided Volare [...]

Cafe Mimosa is Back!

The go-to spot for Chinese food in the Highlands is back! I drove by the new Cafe Mimosa location after a trip to Highland Coffee with my rabbi this morning and saw lights and activity and neon beer signs aglow. I checked their website and it said they open “today at 4:30.” There was no [...]
