Fluffy tufts of pink cotton candy conclude every meal at Proof on Main, the house restaurant of Louisville's 21c Museum Hotel. The throwback treat arrives with the check, but you won't find it listed on your bill: The sweet finish is courtesy of the chef.
Consider it the finishing touch to a dining experience at the upscale-casual New American eatery, which serves modern takes on traditional Southern fare. Think goat cheese-studded grits, a Gulf shrimp roll served on brioche, and a "hog chop" presented on a bed of sweet potato and kale. The farm-to-table menu relies on the current offerings of area farmers and artisans, so it's known to change with the season.
Also in rotation here? Exhibitions of contemporary art, which shine a spotlight on the talent of local artists and serve as Proof on Main's decor, from the bar to the bathrooms.
