Bowling Green Itinerary

The 4th generation Corvette needed a bit more time in the oven, so to speak, launching in 1984 after a stalled year of quality and production issues. Of the 44 cars assembled in 1983, only one remains in existence and is displayed at the National Corvette Museum, so this culinary tour features a weekends' worth of local restaurants in Bowling Green, Kentucky that can't be found anywhere else. 

Saturday

Breakfast

Head out to the countryside for an authentic southern breakfast to jump start your visit to Bowling Green. Biscuits, gravy, bacon, eggs, home fries and more sizzle from the flattop and rise in the oven at Boyce General Store while locals chat about current affairs and community happenings. But that's not all... also home of The Pie Queen of BG, you'll definitely want to take a few homemade pies with you for later!

Lunch

Bowling Green locals have been raving about Cambridge Market's delicatessen specialties for decades. Steer the crew to Cambridge Square just on the edge of downtown for lunch and enjoy favorites like meatloaf, southern style vegetables, white bean chowder, and hot chicken salad.

Afternoon Treat

Ask anyone who has spent some time in Bowling Green about Riley's Bakery tea cookies and watch their smile spread like the icing on these lovely little delicacies! Grab a couple dozen of these favorites or choose among other tempting treats for a little afternoon fuel.

Dinner

When locals in Bowling Green go out for a nice, intimate dinner, chances are they are heading to The Bistro downtown. Located in an historic home with brick walls, romantic lighting and an upscale bar, you'll find European-inspired dishes like Pork Diavolo, Chicken Picatta, and Mediterranean Tilapia on the menu.

Sunday

Brunch

The newest buzz on the food scene in Bowling Green is definitely Hickory & Oak where chef-couple Josh and Chelsey Poling craft delicious dishes. The Sunday brunch buffet (currently unavailable during Covid-19 restrictions) features items like made-to-order omelettes, a charcuterie table, carving station, and southern brunch favorites. Add in a Blood Orange Mimosa to round out one great local experience.

Afternoon Treat

After a big late morning meal, it makes sense to drive out Nashville Road to Chaney's Dairy Barn, "The Best Ice Cream Parlor in Kentucky" according to USA Today.  This state-of-the-art dairy farm makes nearly 30 flavors of ice cream including Wow Now Brownie Cow, Cherry Althea and Bourbon Crunch. Of course they also serve soups, salads and sandwiches if you feel guilty about going straight to dessert!

Dinner

One of the most strikingly handsome buildings in Bowing Green is also one of the locals' favorite spots for steaks, rotisserie chicken and the best pot pie in town. Montana Grille is also well-known for its spicy cornbread starter, Firebread, and its open kitchen keeps diners entertained.
