Food on Vacation

At the beginning of our "vacation" to Louisville, Ray sent the word out on Facebook asking the best places to go and eat - tons of responses! Louisville is known for food, and we enjoyed every meal that we had out. The Mussel and Burger Bar was probably my favorite, trendy and cliche', but still delicious food. I had never tried mussels before and loved them.

I'm sure this isn't the first time I've mentioned how much I love chocolate, but The Hot Chocolatier has a new location in Chattanooga and still the best hot chocolate around.

Nord's Bakery is famous for its bacon donuts, beautiful cookies and extremely low prices.  This place was on everyone's list of places to go in Louisville. When we got there at around eleven in the morning the glass cases were nearly empty because they don't bake all day. We didn't get to try a bacon donut but the things we did try were yummy! and cheap. And the coffee shop next door was pretty good too.

Fried Oreos. That's all that needs to be said, right? Driving around Louisville one afternoon to find an out of the way place to eat that wasn't a chain, we stopped at this pizza place. It turned out to be one of the places several people had recommended to us. At first, it looked like a place that you would get mugged and not where anyone would want to be after dark. But it turned out to be great fun. We ate pizza inside of an old Cadillac turned food booth.

While in Louisville we drove over to Indiana to visit the acclaimed Schimpff's Confectionery.  We enjoyed a candy making demonstration, tour of the museum, a banana split and delicious hot off the belt cinnamon red hots and lemon drops.

Abigail loved Wild Eggs' breakfast. It certainly lived up to it's name for having the best breakfast in Louisville. And as a bonus, our server was the brother of a friend we have in Georgia.
