Welcome to The Louisville Plug.
A short weekly list of where locals actually eat, what’s worth doing, and the deals worth knowing about. As always feel free to reply to this email or leave a comment with any suggestions or feedback. Have a great week!
🥗The Local Rec
A Louisville local’s food rec, every week.
This week’s rec comes from:
Erica Durrett @ louisvillefoodlife
Erica is constantly highlighting the best eats around the city. From hidden neighborhood gems to must try local favorites. Her page is all about celebrating Louisville food with honest takes and mouth watering videos that make you want to try everything immediately. If you’re ever stuck on where to eat or just love discovering great local spots, she’s a must follow on Instagram.
Their Rec: Shiraz Mediterranean Grill
Why they love it:
"Everything is made to order and always tastes incredibly fresh and full of flavor.”
“Their chicken is consistently cooked to perfection, and you can really tell everything is made with care.”
“It’s one of those places that never misses and genuinely makes me happy every time we eat there.”
Her Go-To order:
“Chicken Chipotle Panini with an extra side of chipotle and tzatziki.”
“My boyfriend and I usually split one of their pies too — either the Chicken Pie or the Veggie Pie (sometimes we add chicken).”
“I’m also obsessed with their rice — the herbal rice is my usual, but the lentil rice and even the white rice are all phenomenal.”
Thank you Erica for the rec! I don’t know about you all, but I think the Chicken Chipotle Panini is calling my name this week.
Be sure to follow louisvillefoodlife on Instagram and let her know if you try out Shiraz this week.
