A Local’s Guide to Lexington, Kentucky: Volume II

April 19, 2018

Everyone who knows me knows how much I love Lexington, hence why my blog is named “Fabulous In Fayette” and is entirely dedicated to this wonderful city! Fabulous in Fayette is your one-stop place to find out what’s happening in Lexington on a weekly basis, where to eat, and amazing events that you can’t miss! Lexington is such a great place to live – between the culture, the amazing local restaurants, the bourbon scene, and all of the events happening throughout the city there is always something to keep you entertained. Back in February, I started a new series called:…

Local Spotlight: OBC Kitchen

April 17, 2018

This post is in collaboration with OBC Kitchen. All of these opinions are entirely my own. Thank you for supporting brands and businesses that support Fabulous in Fayette! One of my favorite restaurants in Lexington is OBC Kitchen, which is located in Landsdowne Shoppes off of Tates Creek Road, and they have just launched a new lunch and brunch menu. They are home to one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. My husband and I usually eat there for both of our birthdays, along with our anniversary or anytime we have something to celebrate.

Maker’s Mark Releases UK Basketball Commemorative Bottle Honoring the 1998 Championship Team

April 12, 2018

It’s officially springtime in the Bluegrass State, but it sure hasn’t felt like it. Not only was this past weekend the opening of Keeneland for the spring meet, but on Friday, April 6, Maker’s Mark released a commemorative bottle that featured the University of Kentucky’s 1998 championship team, better known as the “Comeback Cats.” Of course, when I heard about it, I had to go stand in line just like I did last year!

Red State BBQ is located on U.S. 25/Georgetown Road and is in front of the Sunset Motel. Red State BBQ was founded by Scott Ahlschwede in October 2010. He wanted a place where people could enjoy good barbecue and beer, so Red State was born. David Carroll is the owner, and this is one barbecue joint you need to eat at!

Local Spotlight: Red State BBQ

April 10, 2018

I’ve driven past Red State BBQ dozens and dozens of times throughout the years, but never stopped until last weekend. I have always heard that Red State has delicious barbecue, so my husband and I decided to stop in for a quick dinner and try it out. It’s also located pretty close to our house, so it’s definitely a spot that I can see us frequenting, especially after the great experience we had!
