Childhood food memories?

Not really a restaurant, but I have a big place in my heart for my grandma's meatballs that she only makes for Christmas...

I'm a chef, and the recipe has been given to a couple of my aunts and I...

But, we can't figure out how to make them as good as she does...

Unfortunately, I feel that wonderful holiday treat will leave our family when she does.....

Can remeber

Ray Parelli's in the Quarangle in Jeffersonville
Blue Boar Cafeteria
The Wheel Cafe in Selllersburg
The carry out section at the Downtown Kingfish - way ahead of its time
Long Branch in Hamburg
Mazzoni's on 3rd

Places dear to my heart, if only for the memories:

Friche's on Shelbyville Rd. by the Mall

Blueboar Cafeteria in the Mall

Kingfish on Bardstown Rd. (RIP Capt. Kingfish)

Jody's Pizza Hikes Point

Hoe Kow at Bowman Field (NKA Le Relais)

Jade Palace in J-town

The Empire Room with Kurt Seigert and the Strings in Stereo (Yikes)

There once was a restaurant/pub in the Holiday Manor Shopping Center (about 15 miles from the old Sears Bldg.) called R Place that had a great wilted spinach salad. The whole building is gone now and has been replaced with The Walk.
