All I can say is I'm glad I didn't have to judge the small plates competition at #bourbonclassic this year because Louisville chefs were seriously bringing it tonight. . SO much amazing food, too much to share in one post, but some highlights: raviolo with freshly shaved Périgord truffles from @barvetti , a curry and chickpea paratha from @butchertowngrocery, and chocolate custard I snuck home from @ryeonmarket, made with eggs from the farm where Cash was born🥰
Who was so happy to see his momma after two days apart? This boy🥰
What do really good mustard, a truffle shaver, and a Nespresso have in common? They're things France made me want in my kitchen.
