Not Just In Kentucky.
We had these too in mid eastern Illinois. My grandmother made them. I was looking up the recipe to make them and was also amazed that it was “just” mayo that held the nuts on. I thought for sure it would have sugar mixed in. Very delicious. Can’t wait to make them!

My mother was born in Chaplin Kentucky in Nelson County. I live in a suburb of Chicago. No one has heard of them up here. our visits to Chaplin wouldn’t be complete without eating banana croquettes every day we are there! I remember the old metal peanut grinder that my mom used to attach to the counter and grind the peanuts!

As a high school chum of Stella’s, I have to say she is enormously talented and a wonderful presence on the Lexington food scene. GO Stella!

Dear Sharon:

I just read in the January Southern Living and wonderful article, “the Best Bakery’s in the South” I was delighted to see BlueGrass Bakery in Clays Mills Shopping Center as THE only Bakery mention in Kentucky. They were in some pretty terrific company. Why don’t you do an article about them. It would may good reading and highlight one of our outstanding local businesses.

Thanks, Beth Lowe

Great story about a classic restaurant. I wish the H-L would do more of these, and include more pictures.

Ha, they needed a completely new Chef because they closed Quirk with a sign on the door one day. Showed a lack of respect to both current employees and customers. Very poor communication and passive aggressive behavior here.

I sure miss Annette’s cafe downtown, what i really miss is her strawberry cake, we used to go for lunch and have a piece of cake with coffe after.
First question: do you have or can you get that recipe.
Second question: Is Annette’s opened somewhere else or catering and do you know how to get in touch with her.
Thank you for your time.
