67°F8:10 AM The third annual Taste of Derby event titled "The Perfect Derby Appetizer" was just that! Beautifully produced by Wayne Kostroski, founder of the "Taste of the NFL", it was held at the Louisville Executive Aviation Hangar at Bowman Field which was a stunning backdrop for the world-renowned chefs to prepare their innovative dishes. The featured top chefs came to Louisville from very prestigious restaurants from all over the US along with one who traveled all the way from Dubai!
Oaks behind me, I needed Oats. On Derby morning, I was tasked with breakfast, both personally and professionally. The Historic Homes Foundation was nice enough to invite my wife and I, along with media sponsor Garden & Gun magazine, to the 34th Annual Historic Homes Foundation Derby Breakfast at Farmington Historical Plantation. The Plantation is nestled next to Sullivan University, and when I say ‘nestled’, I am speaking of the one-lane tree-lined road along the student dorms.
I love food, exploring the best that Louisville has to offer, meeting new people, and of course if I can accomplish all of that in the name of great cause, all the better, (and makes the holiday season feel more important than bowl games which is generally hard to convince me of). If you’re like-minded, please mark your calendars and plan to join your fellow Louisvillians tonight in support of the 15th annual Dining Out For Life event on Wednesday, November 30, 2011.

I have a healthy full head of hair, not luscious, sometimes dirty, but am lucky that a guy my age still has to get a haircut when his wife or mother tells him he has to. So I'm shaving my head because cancer can strike where you least expect
Good friends of mine recently had thier wonderful daughter diagnosed with Leukemia and I felt helpless. Now I know everyone says their kids are the cutest thing in the world – I don’t have any, so I can be objective (if you are honest with yourself behind closed doors, not all four year-olds are “cute”.)
Wasted weekend? On Monday, January 25, come out to O’Shea’s Pub, 956 Baxter Avenue, and enjoy a pint or a snack and feel better.
