J-Town Big Bites comes in, because WNB Factory went out

It has been two years since our last glance at WNB Factory, a chain/franchise eatery founded in Atlanta in 1997. Apparently it has been tough sledding for WNB’s local franchisee, as two of the three Louisville area locations have closed: 3733 Lexington Road in St. Matthews, and 10224 Taylorsville Road in Jeffersontown. As for the […]

At Beervana, Jeff Alworth offers a thought: Observations from a Dive Bar (today’s cover photo of Kay’s in Portland is borrowed from Jeff’s article). My professional need […]

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 […]

La Guanaquita 2 is serving in Smoketown

“Best Authentic El Salvadoran and Honduran Cuisine In Louisville.” As a brief aside, my work on a book about beer has sent me into the newspaper archives. It is fascinating to compare and contrast newspaper headlines of the sort designed to be seen from a tactile newsstand, with the purposefully dull teasers greeting us daily […]
