The Mayan Gypsy

A good friend of mine flew into Louisville, Kentucky today. Sambles is in the music business. He coordinates tours or something in that realm, but has worked with some pretty big names. Sambles and I share a passion for animal flesh, and we once had BarBQ together that was so good it inspired him to plan his wedding around it, even though he wasn't dating anyone. He made me think of a great cafe in Louisville called The Mayan Cafe. http://www.themayancafe.com/

I First ate at this place in 99, when it was called The Mayan Gypsy. It was amazing, and the food is just as good ten years later. Chef/owner Bruce Ucan is of Mayan descent and the food has a truly authentic feel. It's in Phoenix Hill, which is a very cool, old neighborhood with great French architecture and a funky vibe. I highly recommend The Mayan Cafe to anyone whose travels take them anywhere near Louisville.
