My wife and I are 70 years old and after spending my career with technology, I understand why others may think it’s easy for me to use new tools and devices. Nevertheless, I am often amazed at how hard people make things, and how much time is wasted in the […]
So what is a recipe about Mongolian Beef doing on a Kentucky Taste Today food blog? Well it’s simple. We love Asian food and guess what? The folks in Kentucky do also. After ordering some recent takeout I dug up an old recipe I secured when eating in New York […]
Every so often we realize that one of our best recipes sits in an old cookbook we made years ago, and not on our food blog website. We made this blog primarily for for us to reference on our phones in the grocery stores when shopping, and in the kitchens […]

After driving by Our Best Restaurant many times since moving back to Kentucky, we finally stopped by one night for dinner. Are we glad we did. This restaurant sits many miles away from the expressway, on Route 22 East of Louisville in a little town called Smithfield. It’s a classic […]
