What does Louisville need?

French bistro! Quality wood-fired pizza (I miss Primo), and real Greek.

Robin your French Bistro wish might be coming true. I will let you know as soon as the plans are in the works. It will be located on Frankfort Ave.

Oh please, oh please, oh please let it be true!!!!
Please, please please, please, please.

And a Jewish deli too, if that isn't asking too much.

I vote for fresh seafood (who else misses L&N Seafood and Shariat's?) and real greek (I really liked Nik's), although I'll be happy to enjoy a french bistro till we get them

A Jewish Deli would be great. Matzo ball soup!

What about something new in a bar? What would that be? Is Louisville really a cocktail town?

Just last night we had this discussion, and a few of us wish there was a better selection of pubs with TV's that serve a wide selection of appetizers, not just cheese balls, wings or spinach dip... we also said DINERS!

If I hit the Powerball then I will definitely open a diner. A big stainless steel one, all lit up with neon and serving your favorites 24hrs a day, 6 days a week(Closed on Mondays!).

I'm kind of a diner addict and have driven out of my way to eat at them.

Not counting the Little Chef in New Albany(A 14 seat Valentine Model) We really don't have a true diner in the area. The Denny's in Mt Washington doesn't really count in my book. We have more of the coffee shop thing here, think Waffle House, Frisch's, Twig & Leaf.

Diners IMHO, usually serve more comfort food (meatloaf, chicken and dumplings, Swiss steak, goulash, etc.) in addition to your standard burgers and sandwiches, as well as breakfast all day. with some soda fountain favorites to boot.

I would love to see one here.

Authentic New Mexican.

I'd say....

1. more comfort food - for all the authentic ethnic places we have in this town, we do seem to lack that comfort food category (Cottage Inn, Lynn's, and...)

2. funky, authentic new mexican. Always enjoy those colorful, tasty, funky places I go to when visiting Austin, TX.

3. Great bars that don't become overridden with hipsters. Granted, that is more a cultural thing, beyond the control of owners, but, hey, I can still dream...

Greek would be awesome! Also, good chinese...while there are many in the area, still looking for something that is memorable.

Now that we can finally mark good pizza by the slice off of the list, I definitely agree with folks who said DINERS!!! Definitely need some good diners around here and I will also add GOOD BAGELS to the list as well.

To be closer to Etown, so I can enjoy the bountiful selections already there.

Are you kidding? I lived there for about 30 years and there is nothing...I repeat nothing worth eating there...unless you really love chains....and even they are badly ran. It had a few decent restaurants years ago...but they have bitten the dust and gone by the wayside...i have absolutely no idea where you think there is a good restaurant in Etown...and yes, I do go back once a week and visit friends...we meet at a pretty good coffee shop "More Than Bagels"...that serves coffee from one of the few good restaurants they did have in Etown that went out of business..."Arnold's"...it was a great place. I would not give you 2 cents for any of the other restaurants in Etown.

while I think that sallie p may have innocently misinterpreted TrishaW's etown comment, I will not-so-innocently agree that etown is a pit

Seafood...good frickin' seafood.

I think perhaps she meant that Louisville needs to be closer to Etown so that she could enjoy all the wonderful places Louisville has to offer.

Actually the idea of a Brazilian or Argentinian steakhouse also sounds pretty good.

I think you're forgetting about Palermo Viejo, the authentic Argentinian Steakhouse in the Highlands...

I would also love to see more seafood. Maybe someplace that does Maryland Blue Crabs more than a couple weekends a year.
