We are so very excited to have Chef Lawrence Weeks visiting us in Corbin!
Lawrence Weeks dedicated his heart to cooking as a child growing up in a southern creole/cajun household. After culinary school, Weeks seized the opportunity to gain experience under award-winning chef Todd Richards at The Pig and The Pearl in Atlanta, where Richards encouraged Weeks to “find his roots in food.” After moving back to Louisville, Weeks started LocalsOnly: a Louisville pop up which quickly gained regional traction in the Louisville/Lexington area. Through years of study in southern foodways and culture, Weeks presents in a way that tells a story and evokes memories through his food.
Chef Weeks will create several playful offerings for our menu Thursday, March 21st. Here’s a few teaser menu items we are super excited about:
*Ruby Trout
black eye pea salad
*KY Dog
benedictine, tobacco onions, bourbon chow chow
