I was surprised at the diversity of the food in Lexington. We stopped by Sav’s Grill & West African Cuisine<\/a> for a quick bite. I had a fantastic lamb dish. Matt had a vegetarian soup with dumplings made from\u00a0plantain\u00a0flour. The dumplings were kinda chewy and hearty. They worked really well with the soup. \u00a0Apparently Sav’s also has an ice cream shop<\/a> that’s kitty corner to this.<\/p>\n

We were walking to a place called Nat’s but on the way we were enticed by the smells coming from Bombay Bar and Grill<\/a>. We went in and ate too much indian food. We got 8\/10 on the spicy scale which didn’t seem that hot while eating it. The next day, however, my body let me know how hot the food was. (The soup appetizer was the hottest part of the meal)<\/p>\n

Dave took us to Indi’s Fried Chicken<\/a> with the promise that it was the best Kentucky fried chicken he has had. I’m not big on fried chicken, but hot DAMN if that wasn’t the best fried chicken I’ve had. We ordered some hot wings and some fried chicken with greens.<\/p>\n

We ordered some “New York” pizza from Goodfella’s<\/a> which was stupid huge. The bread was a little too thick for NY Pizza in my opinion but it was a pretty good slice. Pazzo’s pizza<\/a> is also worth mentioning. They have some crazy hoagies which we had sampled last year on our way up from Tampa to Detroit.<\/p>\n

What was really cool about Lexington is that we were able to walk to everything from Dave’s place. Which is fortunate since winter didn’t want to relinquish its grip this year. Spring finally showed up as we were leaving. While walking we got a chance to look around at the scenery and architecture. Some of the houses look like they were held together with elmer’s glue and a whole lotta love. These conditions were no doubt due to additions over the years, settling, and whatever other environmental factors.. Lexington felt older than any of the places I’ve lived in.<\/p>\n

Dave and his roommate Ian were great hosts and suffered us well. I’m sure I’ll continue to reflect fondly on the time we spent in Kentucky. I’ve forgotten too much about the trip already so my goal is to write daily; even if they’re little notes so that I don’t forgot the goings on to relay later.<\/p>\n
