Two Palates, One Legacy with Jason Brauner & Jereme McFarland

“Bourbons Bistro has shaped Louisville's bourbon and food scene for over two decades. In this episode of Kentucky's Wandering Realtor, Jason Brauner and Executive Chef Jereme McFarland share how rare bottle collecting, kitchen leadership, and two very different journeys built one of Louisville's most important bourbon destinations.

Jason talks about helping open Bourbons Bistro in 2005, what he saw in Kentucky bourbon before the tourism boom, and how collecting rare bottles led him into blending his own expressions. Jereme walks through his path from cooking for hundreds of Marines to becoming executive chef, the fear of stepping into that role, and what it takes to protect a menu that loyal guests already love.

We get into the real relationship between bourbon and food, the pressure of carrying forward something people already care about, and the mistakes customers never saw happen. Bourbons Bistro is located in Louisville, Kentucky and has been a cornerstone of the city's bourbon tourism scene since 2005.”
