Famous Kentucky Flavors: Exploring the Commonwealth's Greatest Cuisines
Kentucky has a rich tradition of good eatin', with famous classics like fried chicken and bourbon balls along with less-well-known Bluegrass mainstays like spoonbread, burgoo, and Derby pie.
There's nothing worse than pulling off the road for a tasty bite and being confronted with an unappetizing meal instead. Veteran road trippers and Kentucky natives Cameron Ludwick and Blair Thomas Hess are on a mission to help you ditch the dives. They have traveled the state and mapped out the best local foods, festivals, and flavors. From their trek to the Beer Cheese Festival in Winchester to the Hot Brown Hop in Louisville, these gals know the best places to eat and want to take you along for the ride in Famous Kentucky Flavors . Along the way, you'll visit all the classics and will also be introduced to some more unusual fare, including lamb fries, Benedictine spread, and barbecued mutton.

I received this book in a Goodreads giveaway. Thanks Goodreads and thanks to the publisher!
Eating new foods is one of my favorite parts of traveling, so I really appreciate this book. It gives an informative, detailed overview of all of the iconic foods of Kentucky. For each food, it includes photos, the history and significance of the food, a recipe, where to go to eat that food in Kentucky, and information on the festivals connected to that food. If I ever go to Kentucky, I'm definitely using this as a planning guide to make sure I don't miss out on any foods or festivals. I wish there were a book just like this for every state!

I really like Goodreads for giving me an opportunity to read books I might not ever pick up at a bookstore. This book is great for someone considering visiting Kentucky. So many places to visit, it made me want to go there. I did expect more recipes but the ones listed were good ones.

Different take
Book includes recipes and festivals to attend that celebrate that particular cuisine. There is an "If You Go" section to help navigate through the festivities.

Just okay
Interesting enough. I learned some things about the state of Kentucky and its recipes. However, it is a little lengthy and repetitive.
