Famous Kentucky Flavors: Exploring the Commonwealth's Greatest Cuisines (My Old Kentucky Road Trip) Kindle Edition
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.
Plan your own lip-smacking road trip from bourbon balls to burgoo with Famous Kentucky Flavors.
“Cameron Ludwick and Blair Thomas Hess have provided the perfect primer for the gastronomic wealth of the Commonwealth. Their book is a must read for anyone interested in Kentucky food and beverage tourism.” —Albert W. A. Schmid, author of The Kentucky Bourbon Cookbook

- Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2019Great way to visit Kentucky.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2019Book includes recipes and festivals to attend that celebrate that particular cuisine. There is an "If You Go" section to help navigate through the festivities.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2019Interesting enough. I learned some things about the state of Kentucky and its recipes. However, it is a little lengthy and repetitive.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2022The recipes are all very good. The recipe for Benedictine Spread, which I had when we visited Louisville, is outstanding.
One DEFINITELY wants to visit Louisville, both for the bourbon tour and its culinary tour. Louisville has its own distinctive cuisine, and it is DELICIOUS. Our visit was one of the happiest vacations of my life.
