#BLUBRUNCH at Louisville's Downtown Marriott
Yesterday, Bob and I were treated to brunch at BLU Italian Grille at Louisville's Downtown Marriott. If you follow HerKentucky and BLU Grille on Instagram (and, seriously, why wouldn't you?), you know that we turned our brunch into an Instagram takeover. It was so fun, and the food and service were fantastic!
Sunday brunch at BLU is a bit of an event. There's a jazz trio,
delicious beverages,
and an extensive buffet of breakfast and lunch fare.
Steak medallions, garlic mashed potatoes, and mixed vegetables
Two kinds of smoked salmon with caprese salad.
One entire table features locally-sourced items from Kentucky and Indiana. It was fabulous, y'all.
Bourbon cheddar cheese and Bibb lettuce. As #kentuckyproud as it gets!
Bourbon cinnamon buns
And then, there was the dessert table. Oh my goodness. The dessert table.
Bourbon + Cheesecake.
The Chocolate Bombe was, well, The Bomb.
Cheers to BLU for a great brunch, an attentive staff, and a whole lot of fun!
BLU Italian Grille is located at 280 West Jefferson Street in Louisville. You can peruse their menu here.
(Thanks to BLU for the invitation and the wonderful meal!)

While several diners enjoyed the breakfast offerings, I headed toward the herb-rubbed New York Strip, roasted asparagus with baby bell peppers, and a cup of cioppino. Let me tell y'all, it was fabulous. Real, life, meal-type food in a frou-frou breakfast buffet setting. I also enjoyed a cheese plate from the Kentucky proud table, as well as a glass of John Conti peach iced tea with mint -- the closest replica to my beloved Nashville-style Fruit Tea that I've found in the Commonwealth. A glass or two of prosecco washed it all down nicely!
I can't recommend the #blubrunch highly enough for your next get-together or fancy brunch. The food and service were supurb!
