Saul Good: Overall, it's all right
With a little tweaking, new Lexington restaurant could find wider audience for its tasty fare

It's all good. I guess that's what Saul Good is hoping you'll think when you enter this new restaurant-pub in The Plaza at Fayette Mall. With a little tweaking on Saul's part, I think you just might.
In the Drink: Chevy Chase Inn: Unpretentious, generous slice of life
By Wendy Miller Contributing Columnist
After hanging out at Chevy Chase Inn — or diminutively, CCI — I question the inevitable comparison with the show Cheers because Hollywood rarely captures the unpretentiousness, the spontaneous irony, the unscripted wit, the long history, the warm oddity and utter curiousness of Lexington's beloved, and surprisingly undiscovered, 75-year-old watering hole.
Red Robin: 'Gourmet' burgers? Funny
By Howard M. Snyder hsnyder@herald-leader.com
When I see gourmet and burger advertised as one, it usually gets a snicker or two out of me. That's an oxymoron. Hamburger, as we know it today, was created from scraps of meat or trimmings, usually beef, and ground up to make it saleable. With that in mind, I visited Red Robin Gourmet Burgers & Spirits, a national chain restaurant that made its first foray into Central Kentucky last year with a store in northern Jessamine County's Brannon Crossing shopping center. I was there to test its highly touted ”gourmet burgers“ and other offerings.
