Epicurean Kentuckian: Re-discovering a pillar of OKCC greatness 2017-07-05 - OK Country Cooking, 2339 Campbellsville Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by ColumbiaMagazine.com(c). A bowl of pinto beans at Betty's OKCC is a treat, and a reminder of a foundation dish which made the restaurant nationally famous. This is only one variation of what comes with the self serve dish: Pintos with Betty's cold bar sweet red relish, onions as sweet as apples, and a square of cornbread which tastes as good as it looks, served, fittingly enough, on table spreads with a patriotic theme. For many, this is the National Food of Adair County.. Eating it was a reminder of one complaint the staff likely wants as often as possible. The critique came from a great Adair County wordsmith and author, Christopher Rowe, who wonder at the name, "OK." And uddered uttered the immortal words, "How can it be called 'OK' when it is so great. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
