"I was absolutely thrilled to be at the Food Network studios, which made the experience unbelievably exciting for me in addition to being nerve-wracking," she said. "I've never cooked in a televised competition under such time constraints, so I really felt the pressure. I so enjoyed cooking in front of a live audience, having my food judged by talented chefs, and meeting Guy Fieri."

Fieri is host of the show, which features six categories: comfort food, burgers, cakes, hot and spicy, desserts and hometown favorites. Each week's "ultimate" winner receives $25,000 and the chance to have his or her recipe featured at T.G.I. Friday's restaurants.

Another one of Nguyen's burger recipes already has proven it's a winner. She won $2,000 for five-spice pork burgers in the Sutter Home Build a Better Burger contest in November 2007. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/140/story/631192.html http://www.kentucky.com/140/story/631192.html Sun, 21 Dec 2008 08:51 EST

Her mother, Jennifer, had picked her up early from preschool. When Josie came out of Mary Queen of the Holy Rosary School, she was carrying a picture she had drawn for Ray.

While waiting for Ray's arrival at the bookstore, Josie's mother asked her to show off her drawing, but Josie didn't want any part of that. Her teacher had tied a ribbon around it, and apparently it couldn't be untied by anyone but Ray.

Ray arrived at noon and, after getting settled at a table for her two-hour autograph session and taking a few bites of popcorn, she was ready for Josie and the other fans. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/140/story/622926.html http://www.kentucky.com/140/story/622926.html Thu, 11 Dec 2008 07:16 EST

Magazine makes orchard a top pick

Hinton's Orchard Farm Market in Hodgenville was featured in the fall issue of Southern Living Decorating magazine as one of five places in the South to take the kids for a fall outing. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/140/story/523490.html http://www.kentucky.com/140/story/523490.html Sun, 14 Sep 2008 09:14 EDT
Stein, his wife and wine critic Gary Vaynerchuk tasted most of the wines. Twenty were sampled at a wine-tasting party with a dozen friends, and Stein tried one wine while visiting the state where it was made.

"We gained an appreciation for the country. The country, in this case, being France," he said.

In the article that appeared in the Aug. 28 issue of Time, Stein wrote about the Kentucky wine he sampled: "I had an entire group of snotty Los Angelinos demanding we open this wine just so we could make fun of it. There's a white rose on the label, it's from Kentucky, and its name is clearly a desperate attempt to market the wine for weddings and derbies. We were going to bury this wine. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/140/story/516138.html http://www.kentucky.com/140/story/516138.html Tue, 09 Sep 2008 08:42 EDT
Mac McBride, ­admissions officer for the culinary arts program at Sullivan ­University, created the recipe using a variety of heirloom tomatoes and fresh corn from his Scott County farm.

McBride said he'll introduce a hot salsa this fall. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/140/story/508572.html http://www.kentucky.com/140/story/508572.html Sun, 31 Aug 2008 09:17 EDT

Todd Coleman, the magazine's food editor, and James Oseland, editor-in-chief, hit the road in search of adventures in good eating. They drove from Chicago to New York, stopping at places that were featured in Duncan Hines' Adventures in Good Eating guidebooks from the 1930s to the '60s.

They looked for places that had received the Recommended by Duncan Hines seal of approval. On Day 4, the duo stopped in Bowling Green, where Hines was born and raised. They visited with Hines' great-niece Cora Jane Spiller, who took them to dinner at Smokey Pig Bar-B-Que.

The men then headed to Berea to eat at Boone Tavern. The article mentions Bruce Alcorn and Rawleigh Johnson, who have worked in the Boone Tavern kitchen for more than 30 years, and a recipe for Kentucky chess pie from Boone Tavern.
