Pluk’d and Good Bowl, down and out in New Albany

Pluk’d and Good Bowl were sister concepts that opened in February, 2025 at 2441 State St. in New Albany, the remodeled former Tucker’s American Favorites. One of them served moderately healthy bowls, and the other one didn’t. This said, and speaking as a resident of New Albany, these concepts didn’t seem out of line with […]

“The Pack” is closed, but there’ll be two new Brew & Sip locations in 2026

Seeing as I missed it the first time, let’s briefly rewind to the end of October, when Brew & Sip’s Okolona location at 2860 Packerland Way (nicknamed “The Pack”) closed up shop. The closing came with a vow to first reorganize, then continue. It’s all in a statement at the web site, which is reprinted […]

Eric Morris to launch Goss Ave Deli in Schnitzelburg

Amid the decline and fall of the Schnitzelburg family of AFs, admittedly dissimilar to the Romanovs, but what’s a guy to do on a Monday morning in November except muse historically over coffee, a familiar “face” is returning to the food and dining scene in Louisville. We’re richer for it. Eric Morris’s food service journey […]

There will be time later to sort through the details, which likely will take the form of a future “Hip Hops” column. For the moment, your bullet points: Against the Grain’s Brewery & Public House at Louisville Slugger Field will cease following a final day on Tuesday, December 23.

Gizzards most fowl? Dirty Bird leaves, Papalinos returns, and Pizza AF goes mobile

Writing at Louisville Business First, Michael L. Jones rolls with the changes, diagramming the intricate playbook at the former Tim Tam Tavern in the Audubon neighborhood. The Dirty Bird could not surmount a difficult start, and it is no more (for now). Replacing fried chicken at 1022 Clarks Lane is retro pizza, with the revival […]

DiFabio’s Casapela Italian Restaurant will close at year’s end

All the way back in 2012, Robin Garr answered my lingering question about DiFabio’s Casapela Italian Restaurant (Facebook), which opened in 2010 at 2311 Frankfort Ave. in Clifton. “Casapela.” Utter this word slowly, with Mediterranean rhythm, assonant and mellifluous, “Cah-sa-PEH-laaaah,” and it sounds as Italian as Tony Bennett crooning “Arrivederci, Roma.” But plug it into Google Translate […]
