LEO's Eats with Robin Garr
We’re responsible people. We would never (well, hardly ever) recommend dining and dashing, running out without paying after your restaurant meal.
But you can come mighty close to enjoying this unsavory practice at Avalon.
In fact, the invitation to steal almost comes from Avalon’s management, which came up with the idea of addressing recessionary times with a remarkably affordable lunch menu featuring about two dozen tasty goodies — not only appetizers but midday main courses — all priced $7 or less.
It’s funny how Avalon has settled so comfortably into the Highlands scene since it opened (and earned my 90-plus rating) in the spring of 2002, nearly a decade ago. Like the Island of the Blessed Souls of Celtic mythology, where King Arthur’s bones rest hidden in oceanic mists, Louisville’s Avalon has become part of the local culinary legend, albeit perhaps a place I often think of more for its popular, expansive and nearly all-weather al fresco dining than its eminently credible bill of fare.
Now the $7 lunch menu offers a compelling reason to come back again, even if you dine indoors as we did on a recent summer weekday.
