I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
Bourbon and BBQ, fried chicken and horses — this is what Kentucky is made of. The official drink of Kentucky, Ale-8-One is another Bluegrass icon; a delicious, bubbly, non-alcoholic libation that’s the perfect blend of bright citrus and spicy ginger ale. Perfect any time of the year, there’s nothing like a cold Ale-8-One with a BBQ sandwich. The next time you’re craving a delicious BBQ supper, head to Feast BBQ for a barbecue plate and Ale-8-One Bourbon Slushie!
There are lots of options for amazing BBQ in Kentucky, and each offers their own unique spin on slow-smoked meats, briskets, pulled pork barbecue... the list goes on!
Feast BBQ is one of the Bluegrass State's standout barbecue spots. Hailed as Louisville's Best BBQ Restaurant since 2015, Feast BBQ is a celebration of slow-smoked, Southern-style barbecue.
There are two Feast BBQ locations in Louisville: the Market Street restaurant (909 E. Market St. Suite 100, Louisville, KY, 40206); the other is the Jeffersontown location (10318 Taylorsville Road, Louisville, KY, 40299).
The brisket from Feast BBQ is perfection: juicy, smoky, and full of flavor. The sandwiches and lunch plates at this BBQ joint let the meat shine, with sides and toppings happily playing second fiddle.
If you want to shake things up, the BBQ joint has a a special "Slushie of the Month" in creative combinations like Chocolate Covered Cherry, Vanilla Cream Slushies, and even non-alcoholic specials like the seasonal Bourbon Street Hurricane Slushie!
In case you're interested, Ale-8-One has their very own recipe for a Bourbon Slushie. We recommend trying one from Feast and DIY-ing your own, for a bourbon slushie taste test showdown!
