Embracing the South

Edward Lee’s 610 Magnolia is Louisville’s most sought after reservation, well at least until Lee unveils his next restaurant, MilkWood, which is expected to open this February. Although the Korean-American chef was raised in Brooklyn, he’s a natural with Southern cuisine, celebrating Kentucky’s rich agricultural fabric with dishes built upon local ingredients. The tasting menus change frequently but you can expect contemporary renditions of Southern fare such as barbecue short ribs with pickled tongue and cilantro puree (pictured), squab with housemade sausage and sunchoke hash, and frog legs with brown butter and celery. The cuisine is fitting for the charming carriage house locale, with exposed wooden beams, mullioned windows and French doors that open onto a garden patio. It’s only open Thursday through Saturday for dinner with one seating per evening, so naturally, reservations are required.
