Epicurean Kentuckian: Pizza so good it almost makes me weep

Food critic Tami Wilson, of Columbia, KY, and San Francisco, CA, has recently been checking the restaurant scene in Lexington, KY and files this Sunday morning, 3:05 amCT report on what's she found there:
Happy Sunday! So far, in Lexington, one of my favorite spots is Jalepeno's Mexican food, and another is Ramsey's Diner.

And if anyone has experienced NYC style pizza, or would like to, a hole-in-the-wall joint called "Good Fellas" is so good, I could swear I'm back in New York!!

For what it's worth, it is a hole in the wall. A standing-room-only or take-out place, which serves pizza by the slice. So good it nearly makes me weep.

Happy dining!
Locations of above locations:
  • Jalapeno's Mexican, 1030 S Broadway #1050, Lexington, KY
  • Ramsey's Diner, 4053 Tates Creek Centre DR, Lexington, KY
  • Good Fella's, 110 N Mill ST, Lexington, KY
The locations are for just in case you are as hungry for the pizza as I was at 3:00amCT this morning. I probably won't go today. Monroe County, Monticello, and Hart County are about my outer limits for impulse eating today. Time was, when Charles Kuralt would report on bagels on Reading Road in Cincinnati, we'd take the whole family and go. -EW

Rev. Joey N. Welsh:

ANOTHER ANGLE: the occasional musings of a Kentucky pastor.

OF SPANS, SWEET REMINDERS AND CONNECTEDNESS
Including brief directions to Modjeskas in Louisville and Jeffersonville

Several different Hebrew words are translated as "span" in the Old Testament. In a number of passages span refers to a measure of length, about nine inches or so, the average breadth of an adult hand with fingers spread. This is the span referred to in Exodus 28:15-17, describing the details of a priestly garment, "Fashion a breastpiece for making decisions - the work of a skilled craftsman. Make it like the ephod: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen. It is to be square - a span long and a span wide--and folded double. Then mount four rows of precious stones on it. In the first row there shall be a ruby, a topaz and a beryl;" (NIV).

By Johnnietta England Jessie

Faye and Ronnie Jessie of the Leatherwood Community in Greater Nell, Adair Co., KY, has a annual family tradition which continued Sunday morning, October 11, 2009. She calls it "corn breakfast," and this year it was sumptuous.

The menu included fried corn, to give the occasion it's name, and Faye's Homemade biscuits, peach preserves and apple butter, along with fresh orange slices. We also had white gravy, chocolate gravy, sugar syrup, country ham, sausage, fried tenderloin, eggs (fried and scrambled), fried potatoes, fried corn and redeye gravy.

Corn breakfast was also an occasion to do a photo walk with Kenton Jessie, my nephew who is a student at Adair County High School.

Letter: On facing temptation at Slade, KY

About: Epicurean Kentuckian Miguel's Pizza and Rock Climbing To Epicurean Kentuckian

I admit I'm tempted; the pizza looks great and certainly is not a run of the mill variety. I'll be at Natural Bridge State Park in mid-October for the 2009 Assembly of the KY Council of Churches. That's just across the road from Miguel's. (I know that because I already mapped it on Google.)

Should I start singing to myself "Yield Not to Temptation" or should I just plan to give in and not fight the urge when I get to Slade?

My taste buds just went in memory mode. The first and only deep-fried hot dogs I ever ate were at the Jim Dandy and then Harold's Steakhouse, of course at the same location.

They are as described, juicy but not greasy. Very tasty.

Lowe's offers grants to schools to establish gardens

About: Praise for Mary Keltner article on school food

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

If the Adair County School System was serious about cutting out the junk food, Lowe's offers grants up to $20,000 for undertaking large gardens in schools. Not only will that generate money for the school, they would have to pay a lot less for the food services if the school system grew their own fruits and vegetables. Also, healthy eating could be taught alongside gardening. Of course, it would be beneficial to give students the option to do the gardening and not just let the FFA-enrolled students do it. As a daughter of an FFA college graduate, I know first hand nothing tastes as good as something that has been grown in your backyard.

Agrees with Mary Keltner on food

About: Praise for Mary Keltner article on school food

I appreciate Mary Keltner's article on school food. I expressed this concern at a School Board Meeting approximately four years ago, but they are still serving the same fast foods.

s/Pat Hare

Thanks. Your effort to make the food more nutritious and to fit all diets is quite laudable. We hope you never give up on that. Mary Keltner did want us to point out that she is not critical of the School Board, she's just wanting the community to look at ways to make Adair County School foods better than minimum standards and the very best food there is in Adair County. -Ed Waggener
