Canal House Cooking is back again!
…and this time to throw a FIESTA at Maker’s Mark!
Some of you recently tasted the delightful nibbles that my friends, Christopher Hirshiemer and Melissa Hamilton of Canal House Cooking, put together for the LIFE+STYLE event cocktail party here at Botherum. Well, if you can’t get enough of their amazing food (or if you somehow missed the party!) you have another chance.
Canal House & Maker’s Mark Distillery are putting on 2 events later this month that Momma, my brother Buzz, Dale and I are looking forward to attending. They have brought in the incredible award-winning chef, Rick Bayless, to Kentucky with a dinner Friday night and a fiesta on Saturday that you won’t want to miss! Hope to see you there!

FIESTA! Mexican Food + Fun Festival on the Grounds
with Celebrity Chef Rick Bayless
Who wouldn’t love a Mexican fiesta in the heart of Kentucky? Great food. Live music. Join us Saturday on the beautiful grounds at the historic Maker’s Mark Distillery for a delicious, fun-filled afternoon and an opportunity to meet our honored guest, TV personality and Mexican cooking authority, master-chef Rick Bayless, who will be signing his wonderful new cookbook, More Mexican Every Day (Norton, 2015).
Anyone who enjoys authentic Mexican flavors like tacos filled with slow-smoked pork with ancho barbecue sauce, grilled corn on the cob with chile mayonnaise rolled in queso, bright shrimp ceviche, and refreshing watermelon agua fresca, will get their fill. Stretch out on the grass, or get up and dance while the live Mariachi band plays on. Enjoy a cone of the best-tasting dulce de leche ice cream in the world. Ever had a margarita made with Maker’s Mark? Here’s your chance. How about donning a sombrero and capturing yourself with the latest photo booth experience?
