Fancy Vol 3: Louisville

He smiled reassuringly and told me it was. But the bar has not lost its allure, and the restaurant is a great place to people-watch while waiting for friends. Few can argue with the prices—or the service. But the green chili wontons keep even the food snobs coming back. No other menu item has such a strong identity in Louisville.

Not surprisingly, the wontons are the top-selling item at all the Bristol restaurants, according to Doug Gossmann, who presides over the Bristol. The green chili wonton is almost as old as the Bristol. The first restaurant opened in on Bardstown Road, in the space now occupied by its patio, a popular destination in warmer months for alfresco dining. Gossmann recalled that the idea was to create a casual restaurant that served European food.

The 3, square foot restaurant clicked with the restaurant-going public. Gossmann said his then-partner Bim Dietrich created the wonton after playing with a recipe he found in Gourmet Magazine. Put two tablespoons of the cheese mixture on one corner of the wonton wrapper and fold that corner over. Fold the corners on the right and left. Dip the remaining corner— the top one—in water before folding it down. Deep fry in degree oil for one minute. Brush remaining corner of wrapper with water before folding to enclose filling. Press lightly to seal.

Why are they so popular? Harper, who spent his first couple of weeks at the Bristol learning the ropes in the kitchen, remembered that he lagged behind the kitchen staff when it came to rolling wontons. I think I rolled one wonton for every ten the chef made. It can be difficult to make. You have to be sure they are rolled. Guacamole Dipping Sauce 3 avocados 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tsp. Makes about 1 cup. People tend to order a half order and then put in another order.

Despite the name, the wonton has a little kick—not a punch. The guacamole dipping sauce is a smoother, richer variation on the guacamole you find in Mexican restaurants. It is unusual for a customer not to know about them, Rhodes said. On Main Street between Sixth and Seventh streets, the downtown Bristol is more aesthetically pleasing than its former urban location in the Kentucky Center for the Arts. Fans of Victorian architecture will be especially pleased to nibble a green chili wonton while admiring the cast-iron buildings on Main Street.

Walker is a Christian husband, father and grandfather, a grounded pilot, a would-be Nashville star, and a near-scratch golfer who had to give up the game because of shoulder problems. In Fancy Vol 6: Virginia City , Fancy builds a hotel-restaurant-saloon, talks her friend Bob Gentry into co-owning a bank with her, and discovers she has been her own worst enemy in a highly emotional matter. In Fancy Vol 7: The Final Chapter , Fancy and her new husband move to the village of Seattle to build their lives together.

On a vacation in San Francisco, she fears she has lost her entire family. Meanwhile her long-lost sister Danni, having lost her adoptive father, leaves her home in the Smokies and moves west little by little. See whether or not their paths will finally cross. Although the original inspiration for Fancy came from the song written by Bobbie Gentry and popularized by Reba McEntire, it has changed greatly since then. The story presumably took place at about the time it was written. My first change was to place it back in history, beginning at the onset of the Civil War and covering the next couple of decades.

I had her start out as a prostitute, as in the song, but then I had her become a gambler and give up the prostitution. After a rewrite or two, I decided to drop the prostitution part. I never really liked the idea of having her start out making her way in life by selling her body.
