Enjoy a bit of Spain in Huntingburg’s newest restaurant

Marlen Lorente has craved opening a restaurant in Dubois County ever since arriving here about ten years ago. She had worked in the restaurant industry in Spain for many years before emigrating to the United States, and she was sure the country’s cuisine would be a welcome addition to the area. But when she told her two daughters, Iglaidis and Gema, that they should open a Spanish restaurant, the pair weren’t having it.

Molly Malone's lists its two pubs, other property for sale

The building housing Molly Malone’s Irish Restaurant & Pub in Louisville's Highlands neighborhood is worth a lot of green. The Baxter Avenue fixture, along with the Irish pub's location in Covington and other real estate from the owners of Molly Malone's, are up for sale for a total of $8.2 million, Paul Grisanti, owner of Grisanti Group Commercial Real Estate , told The Courier Journal. The sale doesn't mean an Irish goodbye for Molly Malone's, which opened in the late 1990s at 933 Baxter Ave. Both the Louisville and Covington locations are expected to stay open. The owners are interested in a "sale-leaseback" agreement, Grisanti said, in which the property's buyer would lease the business back to the original owners of Molly Malone's so the pubs can continue to operate. Grisanti said the move comes as the owners "look toward the future" and "just want to sell all their real estate." The goal is to "continue to run Molly's with no changes and run it as it always has been for the last 30-plus years," he said. “They could have leased the properties that Molly Malone’s is in, but they actually own the property, so they want to sell the

The Origin Of Texas Roadhouse Is Not At All Where We Thought

In 1993, the first Texas Roadhouse popped up in Clarksville, Indiana. As Beyonce might say, "This ain't Texas." Entrepreneur Kent Taylor made a strategic branding move when he established a restaurant that welcomed families and served steaks, ribs, and homemade sides at affordable prices. After securing investment, Taylor set to work creating an environment different from other contemporary restaurants. With wooden details and rustic decorations, the place felt like Texas. Country music played in the background as meals were gulped down and line dancing took place. Even the restaurant's mascot, an armadillo, hails from the Lone Star State.

This Kentucky Buffet Lets You Feast On Unlimited Crab Legs, Sushi And Hibachi For One Price

Crab legs, sushi rolls, and a hibachi grill all sit under one roof here, and one price covers the whole spread. That combo alone made me sit up a little straighter. On Sundays, the buffet turns into an all-day seafood event built around crab legs. Fried crab joins the lineup too.

9 Old-School Kentucky Buffets That Have Barely Changed And Remain Local Favorites

I’d bet there’s a road trip you keep saying you’ll take. Maybe it involves a plate piled with fried chicken, country ham, and a slice of pie you didn’t plan on. Call me impatient, but I don’t think buffet adventures belong on a someday list. Someday rarely shows up, and next month has a funny habit of sliding into next year.
