APPARENTLY, WE REALLY LIKE ROAD TRIPS. Just got back from yet another one, first to Columbus, Indiana, and then to Louisville, Kentucky. Columbus, a small city of about 49,000 people, is the improbable home to a collection of modernist architecture by some of the leading international architects of the time. It has been called the sixth most architecturally-important city in the US. Louisville is home to bourbon, of course, and to beautiful, varied neighborhoods tucked into rolling hills. Both cities are home to friendly, smart people and sooo many good places to eat. Hi-Five Doughnuts, a woman-owned shop, was our last stop on the way out of Louisville, heading home. And those doughnuts were among the best things we ate. No recipe this week—we’re still recuperating. Please stop by next week.
Great that you are getting to travel!
Doughnuts are my favorite food group. ???

This post brought back so many memories of my own road trip from Columbus to Louisville! I completely agree that Columbus is a hidden gem, especially for architecture lovers. The architecture in Columbus is unlike anything I’ve seen elsewhere in the Midwest.
On my trip, I stopped at a little barbecue place just outside of Louisville that had the most incredible pulled pork. I’d love to hear your recommendations for must-try spots along the route, especially for local favorites!
Hi, LGC. Unfortunately, we didn’t really linger between the two spots, so I don’t have any other food recommendations. But we enjoyed your lovely city—will probably get back for another visit one of these days.
