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.

After death of founder, what's next for Selma's Catering in Lexington? ‘Selma's is going on'

When longtime Lexington caterer Selma Dawahare Owens died in early October , there was an outpouring of appreciation from customers for decades of help with special occasions. And some wondered what losing Selma would mean for the future of the business. The good news is that Selma’s Catering isn’t going anywhere. In fact, the business is expanding: It will be doubling its capacity to cater special occasions and plans to do more to make daily life easier too. It’s possible because Owens sold the business in 2024 to a local firm, Hunsicker , founded by Wes Murry and Becca Self, which will continue operating Selma’s under the management of managing director Lars Kopperud, who was brought in from Nashville to run the business last year. “Hunsicker is really excited about the opportunities ahead with them,” said Becca Self in an email. “And I know the whole team, myself and Wes included, feel especially fortunate to be building on of such rich legacy of hospitality that Selma instilled in its core. Kopperud said he’d spent the last year and half learning everything from the inside out, including the recipes, directly from Owens. “Obviously there’s no replacing the queen of hospitality,” he

What is the top-rated fast-food chain in America? It's not Chick-fil-A

Crumbl Cookies may be closing locations, but things are looking a little sweeter for Jersey Mike's. The sandwich chain knocked Chick-fil-A from the top of the fast-food customer-satisfaction rankings, ending an 11-year streak. Jersey Mike's debuted at No. 1 in the 2026 American Customer Satisfaction Index , edging Chick-fil-A by one point. The ranking comes as restaurants face tougher competition for increasingly cost-conscious customers. Here's what helped Jersey Mike's take the crown and where to find the chain in Ohio and Kentucky. Why is Jersey Mike's ranked higher than Chick-fil-A? Jersey Mike's earned a score of 84, topping Chick-fil-A at 83 and emerging as the new leader in customer satisfaction among fast-food chains. The ranking is based on 16,464 customer surveys conducted between April 2025 and March 2026. Chick-fil-A remains the top-rated chicken chain, but Jersey Mike’s stood out for freshness, menu variety and value, the report said. The chain added 238 locations in 2025 and reached $4.2 billion in systemwide sales. The report notes the sub chain has maintained quality while expanding rapidly. How many Jersey Mike's locations are in Ohio and Kentucky? Jersey Mike's has 141 locations in Ohio, including 13 in Cincinnati, six in Columbus and two

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
