The SLL has three Food For Thought events this spring. These are open to the entire community and include interesting presentation and lunch. Upcoming events are listed below, along with registration links.
Spaces are limited, so it’s best to register early.
Adventures in Kentucky Barbecue
“If you can kill it, I can cook it,” barbecue man, Red Seavers of Southern Red’s Bar-B-Que, boasted when Wes Berry ate at the southwest Kentucky joint – one of more than 200 he’s visited.
In that one sentence, Red summed up Kentucky’s open-minded approach to cooking critters with heat from wood and coals. In this presentation, the “Hungry Professor” surveys Kentucky’s regional barbecue traditions – probably a greater variety of barbecue styles per capita and square footage than any other state – with a slide show and stories of the people, places, and plates he encountered in the Commonwealth while researching The Kentucky Barbecue Book.

How to Use the Best Camera You Have with You All the Time – Your Smartphone
Smartphones have the ability to take outstanding photos yet many people do not know how to use them to their full potential. This lunch-time event will give attendees the opportunity to learn how to get the best quality photos out of the camera that we always have with us.
