\u201cThis chili was created by Sara Gibbs for Glenn\u2019s Creek Caf\u00e9<\/a> at Woodford Reserve Distillery (she often checked up on the cooks to make sure they weren\u2019t altering her recipe). Using local ground beef, bourbon-smoked paprika, and Kentucky bourbon, this is a Kentucky Proud dish. It contains several flavor notes from the bourbon flavor wheel (herbal, citrus, wood, and spice). The chili can be served in a bowl, over tortilla chips with garnishes, or as the main component of Sara\u2019s Hoot \u2019n Holler Taco Salad, composed of chopped iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, chopped onions, sour cream, and salty corn chips.\u201d \u2014Ouita Michel in her new cookbook, Just a Few Miles South<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. <\/em>Read our interview with Michel here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
