Nothing says Kentucky Derby like a Mint Julep!

More good news! I just received confirmation that The Old Fourth Street Filling Station will once again be joining us at the Taste of the Town! They’re the ones that have the fabulous giant chocolate fountain and every goodie imaginable to dip into it…marshmallows, strawberries, pretzels, cake, rice crispie treats, you name it! Adam Andrews, Chef and GM, informed me that he has revised their dinner menu and it will be available on Monday, April 5th. He also said the lunch menu has changed this week as well so check it out! They're really ramping up for Easter brunch; they'll open at 10am this Sunday! I was out on their patio last night with everyone in Winston I think, a sure sign of Spring!

Speaking of Spring…and Taste of the Town…. Nothing says Kentucky Derby like a Mint Julep!
Beginning Friday, get out to our restaurants that have full bars and get a Mint Julep. Then you can come back to this blog and vote.

We will announce the winner of the contest at the Taste of the Town.

Speaking of which, I’m delivering tickets to the Lowes Food stores in the area today and tomorrow so when you are ready to buy your tickets to Taste of the Town, they’ll be there.
