The experience of traveling and finding a good restaurant in Kentucky with good atmosphere and really good Pastor Tacos (good with a bit of char on the pork) is comforting after a long day of travel is found at El Nopal.
Its not just about satisfying hunger, but experiencing the place through is flavors and its vibe. Finding this spot “the cactus” is more than a meal. It is the moment, one that stays with you once the tacos are gone. Travelers culinary adventure reflects the joy of discovery and the deeper satisfaction of a good meal in a really good setting. this one gets rating of 5 forks out of 5 .

Your first step through the door of Bastien’s Restaurant submerges you into a completely different world from the busy street, burning hot weather, and commotion of the outside world. Immediately, you are immersed into the ambience of the quaint and magical restaurant. Low lighting, sparkling fairy lights, friendly customer service, traditional table settings and menus, and the familiar sound of camaraderie: people talking and silverware gently hitting their respective plates.
The atmosphere of the restaurant set up the eating experience perfectly. Soon after ordering, our steaming meals, intentionally and elegantly plated, came to our table. The first bite was nothing short of ascending. The 10oz New York strip with Bastien’s world famous sugar rub was simply perfect. It is evident that Bastien’s has invested in a chef who takes pride in the art of their cooking, as the steak was crispy at first taste, and then melted in your mouth like butter. The meat itself was tender and chewable, yet not overdone. With a side of the signature sautéed veggies and (my personal favorite) a twice baked potato – the food on the plate worked harmoniously together, mimicking the Blues Jazz trio playing in the background of our dining experience.
Our evening at Bastien’s Restaurant – home of the sugar rub steak – was nothing short of magical. In a perfect world, every person should have an opportunity to visit this restaurant and indulge in its many wonders at least once in their life, for it is truly a 10/10 experience.

Some where there is an everything you wanna know about watermelon. Some where. However it is June and it is hot outside. A Short story.?
The watermelon is a vegetable relative of the gourd. It came from Kalahari dessert of Africa. It naturally contains low calories – lots of water about 92% [cool – but who figured that out?] and abundant A and C vitamins. The Juices from todays watermelon are destined to become frozen and transformed into popsicles
