Dad’s Favorites Deli

• Details: Dad’s serves its burgoo seasonally, just like Keeneland. So it wasn’t on the menu when I went.
• However: I found out that its étouffée is actually award-winning and delicious.
• What to expect: The menu changes daily here — come with an open mind and an empty belly.

Stella’s Kentucky Deli

• Details: Burgoo is always on the menu at Stella’s + it’s made with locally sourced meat from neighboring farms.
• What to expect: The stew includes beef, chicken, and pork — as well as a base of chicken stock + bacon grease, not your typical tomato-based burgoo.
• Pair with: Something lighter — I suggest the Apple and Kentucky Bleu Cheese Sandwich.
