In this episode host Alan Cornett talks with Dixon Dedman of the Beaumont Inn and Kentucky Owl Bourbon. This year Harrodsburg’s Beaumont Inn celebrates its centennial. In 1949 Duncan Hines—the real writer Duncan Hines—called Beaumont Inn “the best eating place in Kentucky.”
Dixon discusses the Beaumont Inn’s 100 years, their surprise win of the James Beard American Classic Award, and Dixon answers the important question “just what is yellow legged chicken?”
Also, Dixon discusses the impact of Kentucky’s bourbon boom on the Inn and how he revived his family’s Kentucky Owl Bourbon label. And Dixon explains how he was tricked into running his first marathon. Plus, Dixon shares his every day recommendations for frustrated bourbon hunters.
