Who doesn’t LOVE a great burger!!! This is the first Lexington Burger Week, July 6-12th! There are 20 participating restaurants, each establishment will create a $5.00 special burger that is not on their regular menu. Chefs will be competing to make the most unique burger in town! Check out this link to see the burgers… they look amazing!! The restaurants that are participating are all great local favorites! This is a great opportunity to try some great burgers in this great city.

There are a list of 5 commandments on their website everyone should take the time to check out! You are actually getting a 10-15.00 burger for 5.00 so be generous with your tip and it is always nice to order a drink or other food.

If you are vegetarian don’t feel left out, Al’s Bar offers a lentil patty.

Patio Weather… Charlie Brown’s Restaurant.. Lexington, Kentucky

Well it is that time of year where enjoying dinner on a patio is a main priority. We love meeting friends for a drink at Charlie Brown’s on Euclid in Lexington. Their patio, even though it sits in a parking lot has lots of appeal. It is very obvious this is very much a neighborhood bar. Many regulars at this quaint spot, which I very much enjoy. Dogs are also welcome on the patio.

The inside is just as unique with the walls lined with bookshelves and old couches for you to enjoy with family and friends. Be sure and give your eyes a moment to adjust as it is quite dark. However the cozy atmosphere of this bar and restaurant really gives it an eccentric feel. I usually meet friends for just a drink here, however I can’t go without having their hot pepper cheese. I love these little bites of heaven dipped in ranch dressing.
Be sure and check out their website and Facebook page.

Red State BBQ… Lexington, Kentucky

Red State BBQ is a wonderful treat right outside of Lexington, Kentucky. If you love BBQ you can’t go wrong with this unique spot. This roadside restaurant has wonderful food. You know when you can’t get into the parking lot they have something great to offer. We have eaten at Red State BBQ twice and each time has been amazing. The menu is great, with lots of different options and the sides are amazing. I have to recommend the Mac and Cheese, it is incredible!

If you are going to the Kentucky Horse Park for a day of fun,  I strongly recommend trying this little joint right around the corner on Georgetown Road. The staff is very knowledgeable and greets you with a smile! They also offer catering and have a Food Truck as well. If you don’t follow them on Facebook be sure and check them out here.
