Renowned local author David Domine names Shirley Mae’s Café as one of Kentucky’s best in his book 111 Fabulous Food Finds, Best Bites in the Bluegrass.  

“Good souls and good soul food – that’s what makes Shirley Mae’s a Fabulous Food Find,” says David Domine.

We are always happy to hear that people appreciate the love and hard work that goes into making food the old fashioned way… Shirley Mae’s way.  This is a special honor.

Thanks, David.
