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.

Forget the weather app for a minute. Louisville's woolly worms have something to say. So do the squirrels, persimmon seeds and those lumpy, yellow-green hedge apples littering the parks. And considering The Courier Journal’s annual Folklore Forecast has called six of the past 10 winters correctly, we’re inclined to hear them out. Their message this fall? You may get a break on shoveling. Before you put the snow boots in storage, however, remember: A mild winter can still deliver a nasty surprise. We’re reading caterpillar stripes here, not negotiating with Mother Nature. For more than a decade, we’ve headed outdoors each fall to see what weather lore has to say about the winter weather season ahead. Instead of computer models and satellite images, we consult the signs that generations of backyard forecasters have used to decide whether to stack more firewood. Sometimes, those signs have been pretty persuasive. In 2023, the mostly rust-colored woolly worms we found suggested a mild winter. The winter of 2023-24 largely obliged. The following fall, an abundance of unusually large hedge apples warned of rougher weather ahead. Cold and ice followed. You may like: Why do apples change color as they ripen on trees? That's
