Kentucky Hop Water has entered the THC beverage market

My friend Michael Moeller, previously a founder of Kentucky Ale Trail, first launched a non-alcoholic, craft beer-influenced “straight” beverage. Now things have gotten a tad hempy. Since I know Michael writes his own excellent information releases (kudos; he’s a man after my own heart; you have NO IDEA how many unreadable releases come my way), […]

Little is known, but Helm & Honey will replace La Chasse

Very little is known about Helm & Honey; so little, in fact, that as a cover photo I’ve elected to comb the archives for a 2015 view of Palermo Viejo. But…multiple sources (including the Courier Journal) report that Helm & Honey will be the new concept to replace the late, lamented La Chasse at 1359 […]

Welcome to Labor Day, 2025

As holidays go, Labor Day doesn’t pack quite the emotional punch of Memorial Day, or provide religious imagery for believers, as with Christmas. Googling “Labor Day food” on Google yields thousands of links to picnic and grilling tips, but nothing as metaphorical as the Thanksgiving turkey and fixings. It seems that a celebration of work, […]

Sky Premium Lounge is coming to the former HopCat in Cherokee Triangle

That’s HopCat, not SDF. My dictionary defines the noun luxury as “the state of great comfort and extravagant living.” When used as an adjective, it means “luxurious, or of the nature of a luxury.” Premium slots in this approximate territory, too. As an adjective, premium implies something of superior quality that probably costs more too. Premium comes straight out […]

Brace yourselves: more chain tacos are coming

The less said about this story, the better, because satire tends to lose its bite when situated on every over-developed stroad corner with a drive-thru, and if there’s anything I can’t stand, it’s flavorless Satire Lite. But I’m sure Barstow CA is lovely in spring, when the Mojave Desert blooms. Here with the taco story, welcome […]
