Bourbon Dinner at Gary Rack’s Fat Rooster
Picked by Kevin Kaminski, Editor
“The air will be so thick with Southern style at FAT Rooster’s monthly bourbon dinner Aug. 26 that we half-expect live readings of William Faulkner during the first serving of shrimp, crab and corn beignets. Short of that, guests can look forward to down-home dishes and bourbon pairings, like Lexington-style pork belly accompanied by a Wild Turkey Forgiven “half new half old-fashioned” with blackberries, agave, half & half and absinthe. Tickets are $55 per guest. The festivities kick off at 6:30 p.m.”

Ristorante Sapori
Picked by Nancy Kumpulainen, Art Director
“I tried this restaurant for the very first time, and now I can’t wait to go back! I had some fabulous appetizers, including grilled octopus and Venus clams, but Chef Marco had me at truffle burrata…oh yeah. Service was impeccable, and Marco is the perfect Italian chef waiting to tantalize your taste buds! He also makes his pasta fresh in-house, and the restaurant has great wine selections, too. If you haven’t tried this restaurant, I highly recommend it!”
