Years ago we owned a wine and cheese retail shop. The American Cheese Society was a terrific source of information for us and we even went to their annual convention (in Louisville) one year. It’s in a different city each year. The educational (seminars and lectures) and networking opportunities there were invaluable. We even attended the ‘after party’ following the cheese awards judging. You could taste hundreds of cheese products all in one hotel ballroom.

It’s great to see a new place coming in. And this is going to be next to the new Everett and Jones BBQ, so double awesome!

Looks like that Horn’s revamp is in trouble. Public/private partnerships always seem to work nicely for the ‘private’, and the ‘public’ is left holding the bag.

Oh no! Is there an update regarding this re-opening describedin the article?
“Despite the setback, Behrmann pointed to progress in the Railroad Street corridor, including the anticipated opening of Horn Barbecue, which will take over the former Slow & Low space. He said Horn Barbecue recently conducted a hiring event and plans to open soon”
I’m confused about the names. Both “Slow and Go” and Horn’s are a no-go? Are they the same folks?
Not food, but I just saw this about the zoo.
