  1. Guerrilla grafters adding fruit bearing limbs to non-fruit bearing urban trees to feed the masses for free. Friends or foes?
  2. Bourbon Whipped Cream - 1 c. heavy cream; 2 T. bourbon; 1 1/2 T. light brown sugar & 1/2 t. vanilla extract. Whip for 2 minutes. Enjoy!
  3. As more restaurants join the local, fresh & seasonal bandwagon, I recall AZUR opening without a walk-in freezer in 2004. Always have been.
  4. Have you ever noticed that restaurant concepts evolve and rather quickly from opening day? At least the ones still opened.
  5. Craft isn't just for beer anymore. Craft foods are coming on strong. Small batch artisan products by individuals dedicated to one product.
  6. Still trending - locally sourced, mini-bites, savory combinations and twists on traditional comfort foods.
  7. Get ready for local vegetables, meats and other products. Follow AZUR Farmers Bazaar on Facebook for the latest news on what's in season.
  8. What foods will you indulge yourself on Fat Tuesday this year?
  9. Chef mania on 630 AM WLAP at 11. Chefs Eric Ripert and Lexington's own chef Stella Parks. Tune in or online www.sunnysideupradio.com today.
  10. One idea for unified restaurant function could be Lexington Restaurant Week. They are very popular in other cities. Why not Lexington?
  11. Would like to see Lexington foodservice owners and professionals link together to promote our industry collectively. Anyone interested?
  12. Organic in U.S. will be organic in Europe. Same standard means double the market and export potential for U.S. farmers.
  13. @ChefJeremyAshby Type "green (raw) coffee beans" in your browser search field.
  14. Join the growing number of home coffee roasters with a vintage hot air popcorn popper. Beans are ready after you hear the 1st bean "crack"
  15. I admit it. I miss lard especially in pie crusts.
  16. Louisville school system uses a student panel to evaluate school breakfast and lunch offerings. Progressive.
  17. Arrived in Louisville safe and sound for Kentucky Restaurant Association Gala at The Brown Hotel. Still time to get tickets.
