Welcome to the city’s only podcast devoted to the city’s culinary scene. This week, that local scene lost a giant, a legend, when Dean Corbett passed away after a heart attack. It’s no exaggeration to say that anyone who worked in a restaurant in this town knew Chef Deano. His work with multiple charities may have been his largest legacy. We look back on Dean’s life, and share with you an interview Rick did with him in 2014. In hearing Corbett talk about this life, his family and his work, you understand the man’s passion and sense of humor, and his pure love of his restaurants and the chefs he’s worked with. In the second part of the show, there’s some speculation about what happened with the Bluegrass Burger operation on Frankfort Avenue, which abruptly closed over the weekend. After our recording, we learned that Dan Borsch is taking over the site for the second-ever Burger Boy. The first is an institution in Old Louisville. Also, this week’s Taste of Louisville at Churchill Downs features a silent disco, a term we just added to our vocabulary. And it’s almost Halloween, so our friends at Fourth Street Live have their spook on the “Wicked Wonderland Weekend.” After having Amici Cafe owner Don Reinhardt on the show last week, Rick made a special trip to sample the White Pizza (white as a Donald Trump rally), and deemed it delicious. Carolyn raves about her birthday dinner on Frankfort Avenue’s At the Italian Table. But she’s getting no slack from Rick after admitting she had a burger at McDonald’s. It’s all in a very interesting episode of EatDrinkTalk. Tune in, and tell your friends.
