Wallace Station in Midway, Kentucky

 My husband and I travel through Midway, Kentucky many times a year. Which means many times we have come to the intersection of Midway Road (heading north) and Old Frankfort Pike and wondered where turning right would take us. Well one day, we DID turn right, and very quickly stumbled upon Wallace Station Deli & Bakery. Of course we stopped for a bite, and wouldn't you know it, I ordered the Inside Out Hot Brown.

I was taken aback when we walked in, I loved everything about the inside. The outside is beautiful, but the inside was more than I was hoping for. I love old restaurants with a pie case, candy jars, and of course, an Ale-8 fridge. Their counter is also original to the building, which was originally the train depot. Midway was founded in 1838 as a railroad town (the first in Kentucky!), midway between Lexington and Frankfort. There is so much history in this area, and Wallace Station is proof of it!

Look at these floors!

If you aren't from Kentucky, or have never had an Ale-8, please try one. I have lived all over the country and feel like I have seen Ale-8 everywhere I've lived, except for Alaska. It is our state soft drink and it truly is EVERYTHING! It is a religion for some people (my husband, for one!), just like Kentucky basketball. Ale-8 is very serious for Kentuckians! 

(Note: My husband just informed me that our local Cracker Barrel is selling Ale-8 by the bottle in their gift shop, so keep an eye out for it in your area.)

Since their menu is posted on their website, I don't mind sharing the photo I took of it.

And here is my Inside Out Hot Brown SANDWICH, which was absolutely amazing, and so far, in my TOP 3 hot browns I've tried. On this visit we ate outside on the patio and enjoyed some beautiful weather.

I have eaten here many times, and give this place FIVE STARS!

A December day in Versailles, Kentucky

 When my husband and I travel "back home" to visit family we always travel through beautiful Versailles, Kentucky. We were traveling through after Thanksgiving, right on Small Business Saturday. I was so excited to stop in a few of the boutiques, and picked up a few things!

Our first stop was at My Darling at 104 S Main Street. It is the most darling store full of cute southern goodies! We purchased an art print of one of our favorite restaurants in Midway, Kentucky - and I'll talk about that in another post, because you know I had the hot brown!

Our next stop was Oak & Moore at 141 N Main Street. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures inside, as we were chatting it up with the owners. They are so lovely, and their store is just gorgeous! This is where we bought our most recent Glory Haus ornament, and my husband also bought me some cute pearl earrings. 

Here are some photos I took of the town, who I have to say, has some of the best small town Christmas decorations in the state of Kentucky. They really do it up every year, and it looks both expensive, but also down home and cozy. It always makes me so happy driving though, especially in the evening!

If you ever get a chance to visit Versailles, I highly recommend you do so!

You’ll love it!
