🥬 The Local Rec
A Louisville local’s food rec, every week.
This week’s rec comes from: What To Do In Lou
If you want to live like a local, you need to follow what2dolou. She’s our go-to for the best food and drinks in the 502, and her updates make you feel like you’ve got a front row seat to the city's best kept secrets. Trust me, your weekend plans will thank you.
Their Rec: In Season Harvest Kitchen
Why they love it:
"It’s located downtown and all the food is sourced from local Kentucky and Southern Indiana farms. It’s basically healthy fast food! A healthier version of Chipotle, if you will.”
Her Go-To order:
“My go to order is their chicken teriyaki bowl - White rice, teriyaki chicken, sliced cucumber, carrot shave, green onion, sesame seeds and crispy wonton strips with ginger maple vinaigrette. It pairs really well with their house-made lemonade or a Diet Coke (duh!).”

Be sure to follow what2dolou on Instagram and let her know if you try In Season this week! I’ll be sure to make my way out there and try this exact bowl! I have no doubts it will be fire!!!
⚜️ What’s Happening in Lou?
We curate 3 events worth your time each week so you don’t have to.

📍 Broadway and Baxter Ave to Bardstown Road and Windsor Place
The Highlands’ favorite tradition returns for its 53rd year.

It’s the ultimate community kickoff to St. Patrick’s Day so make sure to arrive early to snag a spot on the curb!
Molly Malone's, O'Shea's Irish Pub, and Flanagan's Ale House are all along the St. Patrick's Parade route giving plenty of options for beer and mingling!
🗓️ March 10th - 15th
