We’d polished off our first delicious cup of local coffee at Bluegrass Grill and Bakery (a Best Of winner!) and had our imperfect ceramic mugs topped off before placing our order. Seated beneath a quilted wall-hanging and soothed by the sounds of a Carter Family CD, we debated between the cilantro lime tofu hash—such lightness […]
