Mussel Burger Bar: Here it Comes

[Robin Garr]

I see all these lists of Hurtbourne corridor restaurants, and no mention of Limestone?

IMHO, they were the ones who truly broke the glass!

Good point, but I think when most of us (i.e., me ) think of "Hurstbourne," we think of the Chain Corridor from Shelbyville Road to Taylorsville Road. There's green space around Limestone.

By the way, reaching out to other old-timers, who remembers Remington's on Hurstbourne, which I think was around the current location of Olive Garden? Very classy place, with an upscale bistro menu and sculptures by Frederic Remington around. I think one of the long-time local chefs was involved, but I can't remember who ... Anoosh, maybe?

Another good local spot back in the day, Langtry's, on Shelbyville Road just east of Hurstbourne. And New Orleans House ...

Opened in the late 80's right? They did table side very well. I only ate there once but it was really good. I do not remember who the chef was.

Same location as Olive Garden and chef was Anoosh.

Thanks, Old Timer.

The memory, they say, is the second thing to go ...

Bristol has been on Hurstbourne since 1995.

I didnt move out that way until 1997, so, to me, its been there "forever".
