Less than two years after opening, Bourbon & Burgers is closing this weekend.

"It’s our last weekend, Louisville. Bourbon & Burgers will serve our final guests this Sunday, Nov 15, and we’d love to see you one more time," the Facebook post stated.

Sink Your Teeth Into The Most Legendary Fried Chicken In Kentucky At This Hidden Gem Restaurant

There are hidden gems, and then there are places so good that calling them a hidden gem feels like an insult, like describing a standing ovation as polite applause. Shirley Mae’s Cafe in Louisville, Kentucky is the second kind of place, a restaurant with a reputation built entirely on the quality of its food and the loyalty of the people who’ve been eating there long enough to know that nothing else quite compares.

Louisville drops private ambulance firm despite saving city millions

A year after Louisville Metro Government hired a private ambulance company to reduce the demands on local EMS, the city said it no longer needs the additional support. The news came just one day before the government's original contract with AmeriPro Health was set to expire, and after the partnership had saved the city millions. In an Oct. 30 letter, Metro's Executive Director of Procurement Kevin Moore wrote: "I want to thank... AmeriPro for supplementing our emergency services response at a time when we needed additional support." Metro's decision to cut ties with the private service comes at a time when both paramedics and EMTs are facing "crippling staffing challenges" due to a national workforce shortage , per the American Ambulance Association. Justin Bagby, a MetroSafe spokesperson, said since beginning the AmeriPro contract, the city has "expanded our staffing through additional hires and increased the number of vehicles deployed." "We also anticipate further staffing increases over the coming months and weeks," Bagby said. "Given those changes in our operational needs, we allowed the contract to expire as provided under the terms of the agreement." The Courier Journal sent questions to MetroSafe related to how many medical units are needed to

Will Jim Beam distill next year in Clermont? The latest on Kentucky's bourbon giant

Major Kentucky distillery Jim Beam, which stunned the world in December 2025 b y closing its Clermont distillery for a year , plans to keep it offline at least through 2027. “We’re going to continue to have distillation paused at our Clermont distillery,” said Suntory president and CEO Greg Hughes in an interview with the Herald-Leader. “But Clermont remains a very active part of our Kentucky operations.” The campus, which has been the bourbon brand’s home just outside of Bardstown for 90 years, continues to operate tours and visitor experiences as well as bottling, aging, warehousing and other daily activities. But the bulk of distilling shifted to the larger industrial Booker Noe distillery in Boston. Hughes said that after a $400 million expansion there a few years ago that increased distilling capacity by 50%, Beam was able to meet current distilling demands there while making improvements at the Clermont site. They’d originally planned to reopen sooner and still will someday. “We’ll move back at some point to distilling at Clermont,” he said. “If demand accelerates dramatically, we have the flexibility to go back into production at Clermont. Obviously, we need to get the infrastructure improvements made, which will take us

5 Best Italian Restaurants in Louisville, Kentucky that Will Make You Feel Like You’re in Rome

Louisville, Kentucky — a city where the Ohio River bends like a ribbon of memory, where red-brick Victorians and shotgun houses stand shoulder to shoulder, where bourbon and bluegrass mingle with the laughter of neighbors on stoops and the hum of a thousand stories. Here, the air is thick with the scent of magnolia in spring and the slow simmer of something soulful on the stove. Louisville is a patchwork of old South and new dreams, a city stitched together by the hands of generations — Black, white, immigrant, native, and every shade of hope in between.

No. 17 Trinity (KY) shuts out St. Xavier again, accomplishes rare feat last seen in 1974

In the long and storied history between Louisville, Kentucky, powers Trinity and St. Xavier , only one time has one of the sides won both games in shutout fashion. That came back in 1974 when they met twice in one season for the first time ever. St. Xavier won both of those games back in 1974, and on Friday night, Trinity evened the score in that category. With a 35-0 second-round postseason win over the Tigers, the Shamrocks completed the season sweep, outscoring their crosstown rival 79-0 in the two games. The win was just the latest in what's been a string of dominant shutout victories for Trinity, dating back to its only loss of the year — to Baylor (TN) 35-27 on Sept. 11. Following that loss, the Shamrocks crushed Male (KY) 34-0 and then shutout St. Xavier the following the week. Those two wins kicked off a streak that has now extended to eight straight shutouts. During that stretch, Trinity has outscored its opponents 322-0. Trinity also now leads the all-time series against St. Xavier 53-41-2. Now that it has St. Xavier out of the way, Trinity can turn its attention to the Class 6A quarterfinals. The Shamrocks

UConn's Geno Auriemma knows why Jeff Walz keeps winning at Louisville | Exclusive

Jeff Walz has always reminded Geno Auriemma of a younger version of himself. The passion, the intensity, the high basketball IQ. Oh, and, “He’s full of crap like I was at that age,” Auriemma teased in a phone interview with The Courier Journal. Walz, 55, and Auriemma, 72, have been friends for decades. UConn ’s 12-time NCAA champion coach remembers Walz as a recruiting wiz out in College Park, Maryland, where he helped the Terrapins win their first national title in 2006. “That’s when he became famous,” Auriemma said. “You know, in his mind.” Now Walz is in his 20th season as head coach of Louisville women’s basketball . His Cardinals will battle Auriemma’s Huskies for the 21st time on Sunday, Nov. 15, at the KFC Yum Center. It’s the first time UofL has hosted the game since 2019, when Louisville snagged its first win of the series in Walz’s tenure. Walz has amassed more than 500 wins and advanced to four Final Fours (2009, 2013, 2019, 2022) over the past two decades. Key to that sustained success is his ability to “identify the talent that works for him,” Auriemma said. Not many coaches can say they took four different

Marty Lost Her Handbag in High School in 1954. Then Demolition Crews Found It With a Prom Invitation Still Inside: "It Brings Back a Lot of Memories"

The year was 1954. Rosemary Clooney was at the top of the charts, and a high school junior in Jeffersonville, Indiana, named Martha Ingham lost her handbag. She went on with her life. The handbag stayed put for 65 years. Inside Edition told the story in February 2019, after the bag turned up during the demolition of her old school to make way for a new building. Her ID was still inside, so the school district knew whose it was. Finding her was the hard part. According to TODAY, construction workers came across the black stitched clutch behind cabinets in a science classroom of the former Jeffersonville High School. On Feb. 7, 2019, Greater Clark County Schools posted on Facebook: “Lost and Found Alert: Martha Ina Ingham’s handbag from 1954 has been found in the Franklin Square demolition. We would love to return it to her or her family!” It worked. A relative spotted the post and contacted one of her children, TODAY reported, and the bag was soon in the mail to its owner. Martha, who goes by Marty and is now Marty Everett, was by then in her 80s and splitting her year between Florida and Maryland. “It
