If you listen closely, you can hear a banjo playing as you bite into this burger that combines two iconic flavors of Kentucky. Creamy “Snappy Cheese” spread was invented in 1930 as a bar snack at The Driftwood Inn in Clark County. Early settlers brought their copper kettles and began using the abundant corn supply to distill sour mash. Today Kentucky produces over 95% of the world’s bourbon.

In 1995, a bartender at the historic Seelbach Hotel in Louisville claimed to have found a recipe for a pre-prohibition cocktail, which had been enjoyed by guests like “F. Scott Fitzgerald and Al Capone.” 20 years later, he confessed that the recipe and the back-story had been completely fabricated. Regardless of the tall tale, the elegant drink continues to delight travelers who visit the hotel for a taste of history.
