Meet the new Parisian baker firing up her ovens just south of Lexington

When Deborah Lomama moved to Kentucky two years ago to be with her husband, who had family and a job here. Originally from Paris, Lomama didn’t love that she couldn’t find the kinds of breads and baked goods she grew up with. So she started making them herself and eventually went back to France to study with a chef. When she returned, she began selling authentic pastries at local markets. She hoped to get a food truck, but an opportunity presented itself, and now she’s opening Sweet Elikya, the bakery of her dreams, in the Brannon Crossing shopping center. “I’m originally from Paris, France, born and raised, and I’m excited to open Sweet Elikya French Bakery in Nicholasville,” Lomama said. The bakery is named for her daughter and means “hope” in Lingala, the language of the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is where her husband and her father are both from. Lomama said her daughter was born with a heart defect, so the name is a tribute to her. “It’s not just a name for me,” she said. Her daughter is now 5, in kindergarten and doing well, she says. When will it open, what’s on the menu? Lomama plans

The health department confirmed that it had been approved to resume food service. Why was Jalapeno’s closed? Jalapeno’s Restaurant at 1030 S. Broadway was shut down by the health department on Oct. 14 after the inspector found evidence of rodents and live roaches.

Whiskey Review: Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch Bottled in Bond Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey

This has been a holy grail bottle for me for years. I started this website in 2018, and in the entire time since, Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch has been a rumor — a thing that theoretically existed on shelves somewhere, in the same way that a coelacanth theoretically exists somewhere in the Indian Ocean. Then I took a trip back to Austin, Texas, walked into a liquor store out of habit rather than hope, and found the shelves absolutely lousy with the stuff. Taylor. Blanton’s. A whole conga line of bottles that spent the last decade living exclusively in raffle emails and Instagram drop announcements.
