“Big seller during the state's best-known event-The Kentucky Derby. I think I make a better derby pie than the one sold by Kern's Kitchen. I use less chocolate & add bourbon.”
“Tastes like home. Salty, warm and perfect pig.”
“I’ve been eating burgoo all my life here in Western Kentucky. It is a staple at the Catholic BBQ picnics every summer and available year round at every BBQ restaurant. DELICIOUS!”
“Made in Maysville, Kentucky this is a staple dessert in the eastern part of the state. It's easily the most unique and I've never seen it recreated elsewhere.”
“It's got turkey, bacon, tomato and a yummy sauce! It can be eaten for lunch, dinner and if you want add a fried egg on top to have for breakfast. Brown Hotel in Louisville, KY.”
Bourbon touches half of Kentucky's ballot. It is in the Bourbon Chocolate Walnut Pie and the Bourbon Balls, and it built the state that fries the chicken. Fried Chicken and the Country Ham Biscuit are the daily order, while the Hot Brown is Louisville's contribution to brunch. Mutton BBQ, smoked with black dip, exists almost nowhere else. Burgoo cooks outdoors for hours. Spoonbread has a festival, Beer Cheese has a trail, Transparent Pie has patience. Kentucky is famous for fried chicken, and for the whiskey that outlived the recipe. So what is Kentucky's official state dish? Ten dishes are on the ballot.
