Thunder to Derby: Post seasonal events here

[Robin Garr]

Restaurateurs, chefs and fans, please feel free to post all your Derby season events here. We'll leave this post pinned to the top of the forum through Derby weekend, the first Saturday in May.

Rules:

DO change the headline to name the restaurant!

DON'T include PR hype. Just the facts, please. Even if you think your restaurant is awesomely unique and is offering amazing dishes never before tasted, let us figure that out for ourselves. In other words, who, what, when and where, just the facts.

If you're looking to skip the madness that is Louisville during Derby Week I recommend popping over to New Albany. It's 7 minutes from downtown.
At Feast BBQ we're doing absolutely nothing special for Derby. Which means no food markups, no drink markups, and no prix fixe menus to be locked into.
Still no reservations, not even for Derby. Big money can't buy seats here this year.

Oh and Maker's Mark is our Bourbon of the week at $5 a pour... (Mostly because we had the most of it on hand).
