A trip to Jamaica in a takeout box from Eden & Kissi

By Robin Garr LouisvilleHotBytes.com My friend Erica posted a Facebook challenge: “Y’all…look. This place. These wings. Go. Robin Garr, have you been here yet?” It came with a photo of a succulent golden brown chicken wing the size of a turkey wing, a tantalizing treat from Eden & Kissi. That was last September, and I … Continue reading A trip to Jamaica in a takeout box from Eden & Kissi →

Mussel & Burger Bar’s wacky concept seems normal now

Early in 2013 when Mussel & Burger Bar opened its first shop in Jeffersontown, I couldn’t help but make fun of this previously unimagined combination. “‘Let’s go get some burgers and mussels,’ said no person ever,” I wrote, chortling. Now, 8 1/2 years later, Mussel & Burger Bar’s founders have moved on to other ventures, but … Continue reading Mussel & Burger Bar’s wacky concept seems normal now →

Shalimar stands the test of time

I fell in love with Indian food a mighty long time ago, when the curry houses that surrounded London’t Victoria Station offered me a delicious – and cheap – refuge while the very young me was seeing London on £5 a day. But it took a lot longer before Indian food came to Louisville, a … Continue reading Shalimar stands the test of time →

Nerd out on Indian regional delights at Bombay Grill

By Robin Garr LouisvilleHotBytes.com Maybe I’m a nerd. Okay, probably I am. But I love discovering the geography behind what I eat. I can travel around the world in my imagination, sailing from continent to continent on a dinner plate. Or better yet, I can learn about my international neighbors by savoring what they eat. … Continue reading Nerd out on Indian regional delights at Bombay Grill →

Clay Oven’s star shines in our Indian galaxy

By Robin Garr LouisvilleHotBytes.com Let us take a moment to mark the virtual extinction of the all-you-can-eat buffet. Rendered terrifying by the pandemic and images of contagious hands dipping into communal pans, the restaurant buffet has all but disappeared from our lives.

Simply Thai makes takeout delicious and easy

New Indian grocery leads us back to Shreeji

Back in the ‘90s, I lived for a while on New York City’s Lower East Side. It was quite an experience for a Louisville boy, and one of the best things about it was my proximity to Indian Restaurant Row. That’s what we called the block of Second Street between First and Second avenues, anyway, … Continue reading New Indian grocery leads us back to Shreeji →

We love tacos, and I Love Tacos does them right

I should have probably gotten out to I Love Tacos in Jeffersontown sooner. It certainly got my attention when its owners were brave enough to open up (takeout and curbside service only) on March 25, one week after Governor Andy shut down dining in across the state. And then there’s that “I ?? Tacos” logo … Continue reading We love tacos, and I Love Tacos does them right →

Yes, there is such a thing as a free lunch, at Dakshin

When the pandemic abruptly shut down all the restaurants in March, Dakshin Indian Restaurant’s owner Sanjay Taxak took many of the same steps as other local eateries: He started offering takeout service and curbside pickup, and he began offering his restaurant’s Indian fare delivered via Grubhub, Postmates, and Uber Eats. But that wasn’t enough. Taxak … Continue reading Yes, there is such a thing as a free lunch, at Dakshin →
