What about bbq? Any suggestions specifically for Covid cautious people, like outside seating or individual tents?

City BBQ is usually my go to. Proud Mary is good as well if you're willing to go that far. I believe they have some outdoor sitting.

@@livininlex thanks! My daughter is heading to ky so the info is helpful. With a national chain as the best bbq I guess I’ll need to search outside of Lex.

@@bls1177 so, it’s a little hard to know where to go because when you’re in the same state as Owensboro, a notorious BBQ town with two of the best bbq restaurants in the game when it comes to Mutton (Moonlite and Old Hickory), Lexington isn’t exactly in Ky’s BBQ spotlight. And it shouldn’t be. However, I’m a college student moving to Ky too, and Blue Door Smokehouse would be my absolute favorite! Small bbq spot, but rarely ever underperforms. The brisket, pulled pork, and shredded chicken were phenomenal for me. And that’s coming from an Alabama boy who takes his Que very seriously (I am very particular when it comes to this stuff)! Red State BBQ is also a great spot, but for me personally, it couldn’t beat BlueDoor. I highly recommend

Red State BBQ- on the edge of town

Agreed. I’ve eaten Thai all across the country and Archa Nine is my favorite. I can’t wait to visit Lexington again just for that food!

Great job! I agree with most, but I’m a little surprised that Tony’s or Blue Heron didn’t get mentioned. Lex is a great steakhouse town, so that’s why I guess I was shocked. However, I do like the picks here. I’d also recommend Merrick Inn as well! That Pork Tenderloin was hitting different when I came into town. I love the vibe of the place too

Agreed….Tony’s is best steak in the state! Blue Heron is Def a top 5

I was there a few times and I couldn’t believe there was good Thai food! (Forgot the name though)

Love ur videos abd u have helped my family so much as we settle into the area! We love it & you do an amazing job!

No Local Taco is a crime

Nah it’s just highly overrated, it’s still good but if you’re not going to que taco you’re missing out

Personally I would swap out Winchell’s with Windy Corner

Jeffery Grimes Chicken on Georgetown Street ,

Coming to Keeneland… Looking for some grub

Malones ? Jeff rubys? J Alexander's ? Tony's ? Giuseppe's? These are all better than what you listed.

And I was voice texting so I wasn't able to correct my grammar

Great info!

Horrible info. This guy might as well live in New York, came to Lexington, and picked up a brochure in the airport listing the top 10 restaurants here.

Is Joe Bolognas pizzeria still the best for pizza?

Bourbon and Toulouse had definitely gone “down hill” … I’d go to Gumbo Ya Ya any day over Bourbon and Toulouse!

You do a really good job of showcasing what I consider to be one of the greatest little cities in America. I was not born here but purposely moved here in 1990 because of geographical location, low crime rate, local progressive political environment and consistent steady economic growth in a diversified economy (horses, bourbon, Toyota in Georgetown, University of Kentucky). We're a lot like a mini Austin, Texas, without all the extremely hot summers and much better scenery.

Ups for time stamps

Perúvian Brasas food the Best

With no Japanese, Thai, Chinese, Indian, Middle Easter, and Nepali it does not sound like a “foodie paradise” to me

Sahara is THE BEST Mediterranean food in LEXINGTON IMO.

You should use a pic of Lexi in your intro? Besides NYC? Yeah? lol

This list is absolute trash. Bella Notte for Italian? No Joe Bolognas or Guiseppes? No Malone's (yes, I understand OBC kitchen is under BHG with Malone's but Malone's is much more of a staple)? No Local Taco, Wild Eggs, Joella's, Texas De Brazil, Jeff Ruby's, Tony's? For the commenter who said no Japanese, School in downtown Lex, has the best Sushi in the city. For the commenter who asked about BBQ, Bluedoor Smokehouse also in downtown has the best BBQ by far. Carson's and B&T are good choices, otherwise ignore this guy's list.

I was shocked that Malone's wasn't on the list. I love the local atmosphere there.

I agree with some but lost me at Bella Notte, wasn't impressed at all.

El toro is better. Rancho has the worst service in Lexington sadly. So I won’t be going back

It’s been 1 year since I watched and commented on this video. I have returned to tell you this list is still TRASH. If this guy recommends houses like he does restaurants, run far far away
