Betty's Lunch at Jonathan's Restaurant at Gratz Park with Rick --NO RECIPE--

In this video, Rick and Betty have lunch at Jonathan's at Gratz Park in Lexington. Since the World Equestrian Games are being hosted in Lexington, Kentucky, from September 25 -- October 10, 2010, Rick and I wanted to show you a restaurant where visitors to Kentucky can enjoy a superb dining experience. We chose Jonathan's at Gratz Park, because the dining experience is elegant, and the food is beyond delicious. We just had a small lunch, but you can see from our experience that there is great attention paid to detail. Jonathan is well-known and respected as a chef in the Central Kentucky area.
When we entered the foyer at Jonathan's, we found the atmosphere to be cozy and comfortable. The area outside the restaurant was filled with sofas, chairs, and tables, allowing you to sit comfortably, although there was no wait line on the day we were there. We proceeded to the dining room, which was nicely appointed, with fresh flowers on each table. We were greeted immediately and seated at the table of our choice.
My lunch consisted of a White Cheddar Pimiento Cheese Sandwich with potato salad and a dill pickle slice. Rick dined on the Turkey Brie Peach Sandwich and Cream of Mushroom Soup. These dishes were prefaced by iced tea and hot rolls with a sprinkling of coarse salt, corn muffins, and butter. I chose Lemon Pound Cake with Blueberry Sauce and Blueberry Ice Cream, garnished with thin lemon slices. Rick chose the Bourbon Pecan Ice Cream as his dessert. In the pleasant surroundings, we lingered awhile over hot, rich coffee with cream. We had a marvelous dining experience and definitely would recommend this fine restaurant. The evening menu is more extensive and is even more delightful. Thanks for coming along with us; I hope you enjoyed experiencing our lunch at Jonathan's! Jonathan has a new cookbook, "Jonathan's Bluegrass Table--Redefining Kentucky Cuisine," that you can obtain through his website, http://www.jagp.info. I will be making my version of one or more of the recipes that we enjoyed at Jonathan's—upload of recipes starting tomorrow! --Betty 

Greetings from the beautiful coast of Maine!

Already, the leaves are glorious, many shades of red, orange.

The best are the "gold" leaves so bright, you'd swear they glow in the dark!

Been to Kentucky many times, LOVE you folks so much; Spring in your state, nothing like it anywhere.

What a lovely southern belle you are!!

Every time I see a vid from you ,I'm reminded of the relaxed charm that comes naturally from you folks!

Love you too much!

I was down to work in Lexington for a couple of weeks about this time last year, and it was nice to see it a little bit again. I enjoy your videos, thanks for all the hard work you put into them.

Aw! Cool! I actually didn't know you were from KY when I subscribed. I'm in Lexington.

If you ever get the chance, you should try Stanley J's Delicatessen. Their red potato salad and chicken salad is a-mazing.
