Fun Fri~ Lunch @ The Kentucky Castle

 

The Kentucky Castle

Versailles, Kentucky, USA 

 

 

Rarely seen back view of the Castle.

 

I have a special group of former colleagues

that I still meet up with for lunch occassionally.

They actually meet about every week,

but I hadn't seen them for almost 2 years.

When Jan said they were eating at 

The Kentucky Castle

I HAD to go for the experience.

Above is the view from my table.

 

I had the country ham with 

thinly sliced apple

& thinly sliced brie cheese (don't ask me how)

with a teaspoon of cherry preserves & balsamic vinegar

on a foccacia bun

with fries.

 

Country ham is a southern thing, especially in Kentucky.

The Castle had a Blueberry Cornbread on the menu

that looked interesting.

Just a slight bit of Easter decor.

I understand Christmas is the time to go.

 

What I found odd about this trip is

I've lived in the Lexington, KY 

area since 2000.

The Castle had not been finished then

and actually was at a stand still

and had a fire so folks

thought it would just be a ruins.

Since the 70s when visiting Lexington

we would pass this grand scene

never thinking we would visit.

It finally came available to the public,

but was told it was very expensive.

However, the new owners

apparently wanted to change that idea

and share this special place with the public.

This past February,

my daughter arranged for some of our family

to take a FREE tour.

I'll post that later.

So, this was actually my second time to visit

all of a sudden within a 3 month period!

It was a fun experience.
