Jan 4th - Jan 10th
Welcome back to the Louisville Plug!!!
Each week, this email highlights the best food, events, and deals around Louisville from real Louisvillians so you can spend less time scrolling and more time enjoying the city.
Here’s what’s worth your time this week as we start the year out strong!
I want to take a moment to introduce our new section: The Local Rec.
We hope this will serve our community by providing local food recs from people in our city and why they love them.
This will take the place of our original Worth a Bite section and we hope you find value in this change. As always feel free to email suggestions, your own rec, or just a funny joke to [email protected]
🥪 The Local Rec
A Louisville local’s food rec, every week.
This week’s recommendation comes from:
Todd Lanham @ thelouguru
The Lou Guru is always checking out restaurants, dives, and events around town and always makes sure to let us in on the action. If you ever need dinner inspo around the city, or just want to feel hungry looking at pictures of incredible food, check him out!!!
Their Rec: CJK Kayrouz Delicatessen
Why they love it:
“CJK Kayrouz Delicatessen is everything I love about locally owned neighborhood businesses and you need to get out there and show them some love...like today.”
“Founded by Joe (JP) Kayrouz and carried on today with the same recipes by son, Christopher "CJK" Kayrouz. Located on Frankfort Avenue between Louisville's Crescent Hill and St. Matthews neighborhoods, Kayrouz deli offers full-service indoor seating, a spacious outdoor deck, bar seating and broad options of beer, wine and liquor.”
“My son and I stopped in for a couple of deli sandwiches and couldn't have been happier. The prices were affordable, the meats where piled high and it just felt like everybody in there had a love for our city.”
“They have it all...reubens, corned beef, pastrami, amazing clubs (like this traditional one with a housemade pepperjack cheese spread!) and huge burgers. Add in soups, fresh sides and $10 daily specials and you have the makings of something special.”
Thank you Todd for the rec! As a reuben lover myself I can’t wait to check this place out. Be sure to follow thelouguru on instagram and let him know if you try out CJK Kayrouz Delicatessen.
