Best of Louisville
We look forward to it every year. We consider the entire field, narrow down our selections and then choose the one we think is best. But we aren’t content to trust just our own instincts. We also ask our friends who they like, and we wonder who the experts will pick. When this time rolls around each year, we can hardly wait to see who wins.
And we’re not even talking about the Kentucky Derby! No, each summer Louisville home owners look to see who our town has chosen as this year’s “Best of Louisville” in any number of different categories. The Best of Louisville competition, sponsored by Louisville Magazine, has featured the best of everything around town for 27 years now. But this year, not only did the magazine’s readers and editors have their say, a panel of local experts in the areas under review — music, food, architecture and development — were consulted for their opinions as well.
To get the skinny on who finished first in every category, check out the magazine’s July issue. But for the bottom line on some of the best spots in Derby city for dining, we have the winners right here.
