After 5 days in Louisville, KY, I am definitely in need of detoxing foods. I had country fried steak at Cracker Barrel, bacon and sausage grits at Crackin' Wild Eggs, and all you can eat turkey dinner at Captain's Quarters. Not to mention that I also enjoyed some delicious savory muffins and fried okra. I was stuffed all 5 days at every single meal. Imagine eating at the breakfast buffet at the hotel every other day... I don't even want to think what that is going to do to my body... so detox salad it is. Well, we did have one very new england-esque meal at Mitchell's Fish Market where I ordered the yellowfin tuna rare. It reminded me very much of a Legal's Seafood that we have up here. Overall, everything was fresh and tasty although they do make their martini's a bit too sweet for my liking.
