Goodfellas Pizzeria at the James Pepper Distillery

Goodfellas Pizzeria, James Pepper Distillery Campus
Manchester Street, Lexington, Fayette County

Goodfellas Pizzeria recently opened a new restaurant in one of the old distillery warehouses
on the James Pepper Campus in Lexington's distillery district.  Outside is a huge patio
overlooking Town Branch and the rest of the James Pepper Campus.

Menu

Place your order and watch while your food is prepared.

Find a seat--inside, outside, upstairs, downstairs, at the bar.

If you're lucky, maybe you'll find a seat inside the old smokestack.

If you do sit inside the smokestack, make sure you look up.

The bar, called Wiseguys, faces huge windows lined with bottles of bourbon, and
sits beneath an old grain bin.

A nod to the speakeasies of the 1920s

Patti's 1880's Restaurant

Patti's 1880's Restaurant
Grand Rivers, Livingston County
Land Between the Lakes

We visited Patti's in early January while it was still decorated for the holidays.


Inside the restaurant is a rather extensive gift shop.

You can purchase home decor, toys, t-shirts, Christmas ornaments.

You can also buy signature food items like homemade pies, bread, & candy.

Christmas decorations inside the restaurant were both beautiful and whimsical.

















The best part of Patti's, however, is the food.  We started our meal with a huge salad and Patti's signature flower pot bread.

Two-inch pork chops are the specialty here, but we opted for one-inch chops.  Hands down the best pork chops I've ever had!

The Procession That Never Moves

The Wooldridge Monuments
Maplewood Cemetery, Mayfield, Graves County

Henry Wooldridge had these statues made and positioned around his grave in Maplewood Cemetery.  Enshrined here are Henry (2 statues), his mother, four brothers, three sisters, two nieces, his horse, his two favorite hunting dogs, a deer, and a fox.  Only Henry Wooldridge is actually buried here.
