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.
In terms of Kentucky’s most legendary claims to fame, fried chicken ranks up at the top. Not to brag, but we’re kind of world-famous for it, and it truly is an iconic part of Kentucky culture. Each summer, the streets of Corbin come alive with riot and revelry in the form of endless fried chicken and uncanny Colonel Sanders lookalikes. This is the magic of the World Chicken Festival, an only-in-Kentucky event that most certainly belongs on your Bluegrass bucket (of fried chicken) list.

Looking to bone up (pun intended!) on your Kentucky fried chicken knowledge? Visit the Sanders Cafe, a place that belongs on every Kentuckian’s bucket list — not simply because it’s the amazing restaurant that birthed a culinary legend, but also because it has its own museum that’s devoted to all things fried chicken!
