Bulleit + Barbecue

The Smoke Shop - Facebook

Make The Smoke Shop your starting (and finish) line this Kentucky Derby. Chef Andy Husbands and the gang are joined by Bulleit Frontier Whiskey on Saturday, May 6th for a barbecue and bourbon party. A la carte eats like crab cakes, BBQ bourbon shrimp, deviled eggs and derby pie can be enjoyed with all manner of juleps and “Day-Drinking Sweet Tea” (a recipe from Husbands’ latest cookbook, Pitmaster). All TVs will be tuned to the race coverage and the bar will host a competition of their own, with four local bartenders facing off in a Julep derby. The party goes from 4:00 to 7:00pm, and will extend to the patio (weather permitting). Tickets are available online here for $5 apiece. There’ll be prizes for the best bonnet and the most gussied up couple so bring your best outfit game.
