An Ode to George Clooney by a Fellow Kentuckian and Fan
A few of my favorite actors are Johnny Depp and George Clooney - they would be EVEN if they weren't born in Kentucky, but I do love that little fact. I got an e-mail a few days ago from a woman who currently lives in Manhattan but was born in Clay County (Manchester) and raised in Butler, Kentucky. Her name is Lisa Ashe and she's apparently a George Clooney fan as well. She passed along this video she'd like to share with the readers of Genuine Kentucky and I'm SO glad she did - it's a lot of fun! ...

Foxy’s Barbecue Restaurant in Madisonville Kentucky: Delicious, Delectable, and Delovely
Although I was born and raised in Madisonville, Kentucky, it never ceases to amaze me. Since moving away, we've lived in the Henderson area, Louisville, Wichita (Kansas), Rantoul (Illlinois), and on Pensacola Beach, Florida. We currently live in Owensboro Kentucky and have for some time. We frequently visit Madisonville - the place, in the words of Montgomery Gentry, "Where I was born...where I was raised... where I keep all my yesterdays..." A few days ago, I was working online from our home when my husband called me from his office. It seems he had to go to Madisonville to check a building site ...

Bob Evans Restaurant in Owensboro Kentucky is Extraordinary
Two of my daughters (the third one was in Florida basking in the sun) and one of their boyfriends (the other bf was in bed basking in sleep) and I ate at Bob Evans Restaurant in Owensboro, Kentucky last week. My husband couldn't join us because he was working (poor guy!). My girls and I hadn't eaten there since the first week they opened - and back then it was.. well... like I said, we hadn't eaten since the first week they opened. Boy were we in for a surprise! First of all, it was just as beautiful as I remembered. The ...

Fresh New Restaurant Bee Bops Into Owensboro Kentucky
In between football games yesterday I read the Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer. There was a story that especially caught my eye (and stomach). A retro ’50s diner is coming to downtown Owensboro and plans to open in time for Barbecue Fest (May 7-8). Is anything cooler than ’50s decor or the type of delicious food served in these types of diners?! There’s a real buzz of excitement... [Read more]
Lake Barkley Lodge’s Amazing Windows on the Water Restaurant
As you know, we absolutely love Kentucky Lake, Lake Barkley, Grand Rivers, Aurora, the Willow Pond restaurants and all things that fall under the heading Land Between the Lakes. (Especially when they fall under the heading and answer to the name catfish.) A while back, I wrote a review about the Aurora Landing Restaurant at Kenlake Lodge. Everything about it was beyond spectacular and I couldn’t... [Read more]

So, are you as excited as I am about UK Basketball this year?! I’d almost forgotten what it felt like to bleed blue again – my veins (as well as the program) had been clogged up for a few years. We’re pulling out all the stops in our house – the entire place is slowly becomming blue and white… like the good old days. I’m loving the UK gift bags at Kentucky Collectibles. ... [Read more]

Coming Up On Kentucky Life on KET
Few things are as relaxing and enjoyable as sitting down with a cup of hot coffee and watching Kentucky Life on KET. Below are some of the upcoming programs. Since I currently live in Owensboro, Kentucky and once called Louisville, Kentucky home – the November 21/22 dates totally jumped off the page for me. All of the programs sound like Must-See TV, though. Be sure you don’t miss a... [Read more]
