And if I recall correctly, the place that is now W.W. Cousin's (and has been for some 25 years) used to be a Steak & Ale.

Are you referring to the location near St. Matthews/Dutchmans Lane?

Yeah. Talking about the middle '70s, I'd say. I think Cousins came in by the early '80s. Unless my memory is failing me, which is entirely possible. You got a better recollection?

Going back quite a way, but wasn't it something like Cork & Cleaver before that?

Oldenburg built the building from the ground up. Not to say there wasn't a c&c on the same site at some point.

On a related topic and cross-referencing the 18 years ago thread, when did The Silo close? I never made it to it, not sure if it was still open when I moved back to town, but I think it was. I remember suggesting going there to someone and they noted it had been closed awhile.

The original owners gave up in 1995. Two new owners, Jack Sedivey and Maria ?, made a go of it for another year or so, then sold out to Jillians. Jillians promptly removed that beautiful copper Brewhouse and sold to a scrap dealer in Utica. Does that help Rob?

That's correct...Steak and Ale closed about 1980 or so. I worked in the GES Grocery through the 70s and had a lot of friends that worked just across Beargrass Creek at the "Ache and Stale".

My wife and I last went for beer sat the Silo with friends on Friday, August 29, 1997. The next day we flew to San Francisco for a vacation. After we returned I read in the C-J on Friday, September 12, 1997 that the Silo had closed and the property had been sold. As our fellow Forumite noted that was, of course, to become Jillian's. Somewhere in that two week window was their last day as The Silo.

I believe the last day of the Silo was some day in early 1993 when they decided to up the bottled beer count to twenty, sell kegs of beer for $30 to any bar owner that wanted to name their own beer and generally ignore that beautiful brewery. If I still had a computer with a 5.25" floppy drive I could determine the date from my letter of resignation. That's my .02 cents.

Is this the same building as the former Flakey Jakes?

Now I am in a memory hole. No recollection of Flakey Jakes. Could it have been in the first half of the '90s, when we were away in exile in NYC?

Flakey Jakes and WW Cousins AND Fudruckers were all the same. The present location of WW Cousins was formerly Flakely Jakes until FJ filed Bankruptcy in the early 1990's ; 1992? I think.

In the building nearly across the street from Macaroni Grill, there is the abandoned Lonestar restraraunt. Before THAT building, there was a Flakey Jakes too.

I don't see how that can be right, Kyle. I definitely reviewed WW Cousins for The Louisville Times in the middle 1980s, and was familiar with its Fuddruckers connection (the owners were former Fuddruckers execs, as I recall), but not with Flakey Jakes. Unless I'm absolutely losing my mind.

I use to eat at these places all the time when I was a kid. They were my favorite. I distinctly remember the present WW cousins being a Flakey Jakes.

Of course, we both could be losing our mind.

I was a stock holder in FJ. It's only location was at Whittington Parkway and Hurstbourne Parkway. It had the same concept as W. W. Cousins--you picked up your meat and bun and dressed it yourself.
