(Steinert's, with Guest Blogger Kevin Gibson; Chez Seneba)
One of the best things about dining out in the Louisville area in this day and age is that we've got choices. We can spend a lot, or a little. We can relax with fare that's down-home and familiar, or we can challenge our taste buds with exotic dishes that come from around the world - or spring fresh and new from a chef's imagination.
Today, let's take a culinary journey to both extremes. First, Eat 'N' Blog correspondent KEVIN GIBSON takes us to <b>Steinert's</b>, an old, comfortable neighborhood favorite that's been dishing up down-home chow in New Albany since 1883. Then I'll guide a tour to one of the city's most offbeat ethnic spots, <b>Chez Seneba</b>, which has just recently moved to new, larger quarters and still offers a truly exotic - and deliciously affordable - selection of authentic dishes from Senegal in West Africa.
<b>Grover Cleveland would have loved Steinert's</b>
Steinert's Grill and Pub (aka Steinert's Tavern) looks like pretty much any other neighborhood restaurant/bar, tucked into a largely residential area at the intersection of Charlestown Road and Silver Street in New Albany.
But Steinert's has a long and interesting history, having endured tornadoes, floods, the Depression and Prohibition, having been handed down through five generations of the Steinert family. Founded in 1883 (yes, Steinert's was doing business before Grover Cleveland was elected president) by German immigrant Michael Steinert, it has seen six different locations, finally settling into its current spot in 1938.
