“...it all started with Bourbons Bistro. Without Bourbons Bistro anchoring bourbon’s core market, there’s a strong chance Kentucky’s largest city would never have been motivated to support bourbon.”

Chef Jereme McFarland cooks favorites from the menu at Bourbons Bistro in Louisville, KY in front of a live studio audience with Tim Laird and Kevin Harned.
"Our server, Abby, was terrific. Our bartender, Mike, is best in class. The chef, Jereme, makes the best shrimp and grits I've had. Jereme talked with us after the kitchen closed and was really charming. If you live in or visit Louisville and don't eat here, you're missing something special."

"Excellent from start to finish. Their Bourbon selection is off the chain. Basically, it's a library of Bourbon."

"The atmosphere is very comfortable and cozy for a 'fancier' restaurant — never feels stuffy or pretentious. Love coming here for special occasions or when we just want to treat ourselves for date night."
