If you’re a fan of bourbon, Louisville is certainly the place to be — and even more specifically, so is DISH on Market! This local favorite offers a reasonably priced menu of dishes made with mainly local ingredients, including hearty sandwiches, grilled burgers with creative toppings, and homestyle entrees like Anneta’s Fried Chicken and Southern shrimp and grits. For breakfast, DISH serves classic American platters with heaping helpings of eggs, bacon and bread pudding French toast, and the decadent dessert menu is filled with homemade pies, cakes and much more.

The cocktail list is where DISH really shines, however; bourbon is the base for almost all of the restaurant’s signature cocktails, and if you prefer to order yours straight, you’ll be impressed by the list of more than 70 different types of bourbons to choose from.

With a homey, rustic ambiance and ample seating, there’s always something for everyone at DISH on Market.

Is your wooden cutting board looking a bit worse for the wear? With all of the slicing and dicing that goes on on your cutting boards, it’s no surprise that they need a bit of refurbishment every now and then. Use these simple tips for breathing new life into an old cutting board.

1. First, disinfect your cutting board (especially ones that you use to cut meat) by diluting one teaspoon of bleach in two quarts of water. Dip a scrub brush in the solution and scrub the cutting board in small circles, and then wipe the surface with a damp paper towel and buff dry with a cotton cloth.
2. Next, buff out any deep cuts using a very fine grade sandpaper. You may even want to choose two types of sandpaper so that you can buff out the cuts with one, and then smooth the surface with the other. Don’t leave behind any scratches, as these can collect bacteria.
3. Condition your cutting board with mineral oil on a soft cloth. Don’t use vegetable or olive oils, as these can turn rancid with exposure. Buff the oil into the board using a thin rag, and make a note to retreat the board at least 3 or 4 times a year as needed.
4. Once your cutting board is clean, keep it fresh after each use by cutting a lemon in half and rubbing it all over.
