EST 1927 by Marigold at the Speed — Restaurant in Louisville

The House of Marigold comes downtown and becomes the resident caterer and cafe at The Speed Museum. While already a nice cozy spot inside, construction is almost complete on a beautiful sculpture garden and patio, which will only add to the seating options. Accepting both "civilian money" as well as "Cardinal Card," it's a great spot for students, museum visitors, and community alike to stop by and enjoy a full lunch or just some coffee & pastries.

Chicken sandwich is freshly buttermilk fried -- nice, crispy, and overfills the bun. Fries and crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned with Parmesan, salt, and other deliciousness. Vegetable Pad Thai is a substantial serving and has a tiny bit of zing to it -- not too bad, but a good excuse to add some honey cornbread to the order next time! 😉
