    If y’all know of the good eating places, post up. More interested in stuff toward food truck/eccentric than Michelin 5 Star.

    This guy lives in Louisville and is always reviewing local good eats. That's a newer one he did that looks like good food. My buddy lives up there and has tried several of them says they're usually legit good. You'd probably have to catch an uber or lyft to most of them though, doubtful they have truck parking.

    Are you bringing the Red Large Car KW? Lol D2BA65FE-223D-4120-865F-B8742C990548.jpeg
    What kind of food are you wanting? Louisville has it all and it depends on how much or little you want to spend and what part of town you are staying in as to where I would recommend. Within a mile of the fairgrounds is an excellent breakfast/lunch place across the street from Churchill Downs called Waggners Pharmacy. If you have a big appetite try their omelette to start. BBQ, Pizza, Steak, Hot Chicken, Cuban and Mexican are a short drive from the Fairgrounds. For those people parking their rigs at the football stadium free parking there are several places a short walk towards the track.

    Haha. Yeah, that’s not mine.

    We’re staying just east of the expo center, off 264. Spotted a Mexican place, right close, on Google maps.

    I am still trying to figure out if I want to go. Might take a load out past that way over the weekend and maybe stop by for a day or so.

    I’m doubtful I’ll be there but it would be a good time to check it out again. I might get a wild hair, never know. I’m lucky being only 2 hrs away. Hopefully they get good weather for the show trucks.

    That would be a big plus and would not go if it is crappy outside. I would want to see as much as possible if I end up going. I have been to a few trade shows in Las Vegas for other industry and enjoyed them.

    Bardstown Rd north of 264 from about 1 mile north of 264 to downtown has about every style of restaurant you will want. If you have any specific questions let me know.
