48 College Towns That Serve Up the Most Delicious Food Scenes in America
24. Lexington, Kentucky — Bourbon & Bluegrass Bites
In the heart of horse country, Lexington is famous for its bourbon culture, but its food scene is just as impressive. Start your day with a warm bourbon-glazed donut from North Lime Coffee & Donuts before heading to County Club, where the smoked meats and BBQ sandwiches are simply divine. If you’re looking for something upscale, Holly Hill Inn, run by celebrity chef Ouita Michel, serves modern Kentucky cuisine with a seasonal, farm-to-table menu. Of course, no visit to Lexington is complete without a bourbon flight at one of the many local distilleries, paired with chocolate truffles from a local chocolatier.
