Jill and I chose to spend a part of one day riding through the horse farms that surround Lexington, KY. Such beautiful country and the farms are stunning with brown, black, or white board fencing stretching around each of them and often with entrances off the highway full of flowers and stone pillars. Quite nice. We noted a small white framed restaurant that was at one time a country store along one highway. As we drove by we also paid attention to the busy parking lot. After a couple of hours touring (on two lanes, naturally) we headed back to Lexington and decided to see if Wallace Station was a good place for lunch. The building is small, the seating is basic, the dishes are paper, the restroom is shared with the hot water heater and an old shower, and the menu is limited. Oh, and very good. Jill had Whitesburg soup beans with terrific cornbread, we ordered a side of slow cooked kale that had some extra ingredients that made it tasty. I had a burger that was well done with an excellent bun! We also shared a ginger cookie - maybe sharing the cookie was not a super idea, it was very good and I could have eaten a whole one or three.
The chef who owns it has five restaurants with a couple of very fancy ones in the area. We also ate at Zinn’s for a light late night meal, a restaurant she owns that is across the street from our hotel. Also very good food.
Even more fun when you have a dog to pet after your lunch.
These were perceptive women of extraordinary taste who told Jill as we were leaving that she was beautiful. And she is.
An afterthought shot with a bit of the food heater skelter across the table. Too busy eating to photograph.
