    Burgoo is pronounced like Burr-gew in Kentucky lol but yes it's amazing and if you want the best you'll have to come in the fall to the Anderson County burgoo festival and try all the different kinds.

    I would add one more item to this list: Ruth Hunt's cream candy! It's a pulled candy, but it's not chewy like taffy. Instead, it's crumbly and just melts in your mouth. Ruth Hunt's is the closest version to the cream candy my grandmother used to make. If you're still in Kentucky, make sure to try some! If not, they do ship it as well. I always get a batch every Christmas, along with their caramels. :) (Some people like Blue Mondays, which are basically chocolate-covered cream candy, but I think the chocolate overpowers the delicate flavor and prefer it plain.)

    Nice to hear Louisville rightly pronounced as Loo'-vull and not "looey-vill". Right on. This has me craving a hot brown. As a kid my grandparents would take me to Winchell's in Lexington, and whether their hot brown mirrors the Brown Hotel's, I don't know, but it was damn good.

    I'm from Kentucky I can't stand Bourbon and I hate mint juleps. And I've never been to the derby and I don't want to. I'm from Kentucky and I've never had burgo, the fried green tomatoes are the best, no catfish for me, they are bottom feeders, and you can taste it. Candies with alcohol, that's a no for me, I don't even like bourbon balls, switch my family makes at Christmas.nope! And I was born in Kentucky in 1975. Derby pie is delicious!
