Epicurean Kentuckian: History-making Fig Joppas 2013-09-01 - Beautiful Joppa - Photo by Maury Lewis. Fig Joppas - "Here is my first try at making a Fig Joppa. They are not real pretty but they are very tasty. I will try some more recipes to see if beautiful Joppa can become the fig bar capital of Kentucky. If anyone has a recipe for me to try I am willing to try it. melewi." And so we all are witnesses to the unfolding of an epic. This is a photo of the first batch of Fig Rolls ever reported to CM which were made from Figs grown in Adair County - these by Danny & Debbie Burris - and baked in Beautiful Joppa, Adair County, KY. Fig Newtons, as it turns out, are trademarked by Nabisco so we can't call them that. And Fig Newtons are not even named for the real Newton, Mike, but for some town in Massachusetts. Actually, these Fig delicacies despite Maury's modest denial, are even prettier, and look to be more tasty, than the factory ones. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Epicurean Kentuckians: Endorphins for Breakfast 2013-09-01 - 104 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo CM photo. Plate by Gary Crawford. Creative Columbia Chef Gary Crawford created this breakfast plate, loaded with endorphins from a bottle of T abetted by the stacked cup of finely diced onions, jalapenos, and pickled carrot slices from a jar of jalapenos. The eggs are over easy, tender, not lacy. Fried potatoes are a signature house specialty. And the grits: Really good - though the restaurant, fixes them as a courtesy, not as the sacred obligation grits with breakfast truly are. These have almost enough butter - almost up to the obligatory amount of animal fat one would have in Lake Woebegone, if they had grits there. Grits are only mandatory where truly suth'ren cooking is the law. The condiment cup: It's enough to liven up the entire place - sometimes in the grits, sometimes in the potatoes, sometimes in the eggs, sometimes for "breakfast dessert" to meet the day, sometimes in all of the above. This custom breakfast was served at TaP's Diner, 104 Public Square, Columbia, KY. Open on Sunday from 6am-3pmCT. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
