The SoIN tourism folks have this to say about Hugh E. Bir’s Cafe in New Albany, known locally as the “ORIGINAL 4th Street Live,” and located at 324 E. Market St.You’ll get a down-home, part-honky-tonk, probably-won’t-order-a-martini kind of vibe at Hugh E. Bir’s. The place is full of stories. If you’re lucky, you might even catch the legend/owner himself, Hugh E. Bir, on stage. Hugh’s parents bought the bar in 1966, and he took it over in 1988; his kids are in line to succeed him.

“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.

Accordingly, I harnessed as many of these difficult multisyllabic words as possible to torment him.

A Memorial Day observance, 2025

“Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no future.”— Elie WieselThe following essay first appeared at Food & Dining Magazine in 2021. It strikes me as useful and appropriate to pause now and then and reflect on universals, of which this surely is one. Today it has become a Food & Dining Magazine tradition to play against type, leave the food and drink until a little bit later, and consider the institution of Memorial Day in America.
Edibles & Potables: The Regimen Sanitatus Salernum (or, a medieval diet revisited)

1 week ago | foodanddine.com | Roger Baylor

(Originally posted on May 3, 2020) The medieval period of European history — the Middle Ages, or the Dark Ages — encompassed 1,000 years between the fall of the Roman Empire and the arrival of the Renaissance, approximately 500 to 1500 A.D. The 15th century saw the beginning of the Age of Exploration, as wooden ships fanned out from Europe and reached the most isolated places on the globe, returning with items never before seen, as well as establishing the basis for subsequent (and...
