"Eating Your Way Across Kentucky" - A traveler's guide to local favorites There are literally thousands of eating-places in Kentucky Some are outstanding, some good, some fair and some not so good. It seems it would be easy to identify 101 must places to eat in the state, but it is a much more daunting task than one would think. What author Gary West has done in these pages is to select eateries that in all probability you may not even know about. Oh sure, the locals eat there and know they are great, but some of the restaurants are not well known to outsiders - until now! The criteria for making the 101 is simple: it cannot be a chain restaurant and, except for a rare exception, must have been in operation for at least five years. And, of course, the food must be exceptionally delicious! Beautifully illustrated with detailed directions and menu reviews, this book is guaranteed to thrill the traveler trekking across the bluegrass in his never-ending pursuit of his next dining delight. 6 x9" hardcover w/ full color dust jacket 232 pages w/ photos MasterCard, Visa & Discover accepted (we do not currently accept American Express)..
