Food & Dining Magazine’s contributing writer Cary Stemle is preparing a profile of The House of Marigold (10310 Shelbyville Rd.) for our Fall 2024 print issue, which you’ll see in September.
In the meantime, last week the restaurant figured in a news item at WLKY by Matthew Keck. Receiving co-billing was Ensō (1758 Frankfort Ave.)
The team at EBONY compiled a list of its favorite Black-owned restaurants across the states. The two Louisville restaurants were also the only two from Kentucky to make the list.
EBONY says the goal of the list is to pay homage to its founding in 1945, along with spotlighting Black-owned businesses in America.
Following are the listings at EBONY.
