It’s been quite a week, and we are now halfway through September! We still are having 90+ degree days, so hopefully fall makes its appearance soon!

There has been an announcement of a new restaurant in Lexington, which is opening up towards the end of the year! In most recent news, the Lexington Legends are the 2019 South Atlantic League champs! This makes two years in a row!

You know the drill… I’ve gathered up some of the best links to celebrate and to keep y’all informed of what’s going on in Lexington and in our state of Kentucky!

1. The University of Kentucky has these local restaurants on campus in their dining hall. I wish there would’ve been something like that when I was in college!

2. Several businesses in the Distillery District were winners and finalists in the Herald Leader’s Reader’s Choice awards!

3. A new restaurant is coming to City Center. The restaurant is called ItalX and is from Chef Jonathan Lundy. Jonathan Lundy is also the chef of Corto Lima, which is one of my favorite restaurants! ItalX will most likely open in November or December, but no exact date is set yet.

4. Beer and cheese are likely the two most beloved food items in the world. Combine the two and you have beer cheese, which is a Kentucky thing! Here’s everything you’ve ever wanted to know about the Kentucky concoction!
