Kaelin's - Louisville KY

thanks again to folks who provided suggestions for my recent adventure to Louisville. I ended up only eating out only once in an interesting fashion. I'd seen a note about Kaelin's on another site (forgive me for wandering off of LTH ) and it was pretty close to where we were. Kaelin's claims to be the originator of the cheeseburger and, while that claim can be disputed, I was very pleased with their version. I had bacon and pepperjack and my uncle went with the 3 cheese (american, swiss, and cheddar). Both were very nice sized burgers, cooked excellently. Toppings were lettuce, tomato, and mayonaise. The highlight for us were the fried pickles with ranch/horseradish dipping sauce. the sauce was outstanding (we're trying to replicate it for use at home) and the pickles were very nicely done, lightly battered and not over fried. Sorry that I don't have pictures.

Hi Gang

Heading to the John Prine show in Louisville this weekend.
It's a quick in and out, so looking for Fri dinner, and breakfast and
or lunch recs on Saturday.

Thanks

Dave

I know this is late, but the restaurant in the Hotel Sealbach (sp?) is fantastic. However, it is one of those restaurants that require a jacket (no tie though). It is quite pricey for Louisville though reminds you of a time in the past when plantation owners would sit in that room and discuss how great they are amongst each other.
