In Kentucky I ordered the Hot Brown at one of the oldest taverns, the Old Talbott Tavern (1779) in Bardstown.

It's been a lot of years since I've been to Talbott Tavern, but back then the Chess Pie was one of their most famous offerings.

I bought some Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale in Bardstown, KY that is unavailable in Minnesota. Needless to say I found the bourbon selection greater in Kentucky and bought a bottle of Maker's 46 that my local liquor store doesn't carry but is available in Minnesota.

In Indiana I order breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches.

Hot browns and tenderloins are available in Minnesota but are rare and not the same.

I didn't make it to Tennessee my last trip but in West Virginia my cousin gave me a package pepperoni rolls to take with. They look like a package of hot dog buns but pepperoni is baked inside.

While in Chatanooga a year ago, the hotel clerk suggested a barbecue place called Hillbilly Willys. It's a bare bones little hole in the wall inside a small strip mall, and the food was great! Their slogan is Make-er saucey.

Bring back some Moon Pies and RC Colas from Chattanooga. I believe they're both made there and you'll find in any grocery.

I'm taking a road trip to Chattanooga over the July 4th week. Since I will be driving I would love to be able to bring back regional specialties that I cannot easily obtain in the Chicagoland area. For example, I love BBQ sauce, beer, soda, etc. I already know that I am going to pick up a few cases of Ale 8 in KY. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Thanks...
