@Meet The Mazelins I would suggest a great locally owned upscale soul food restaurant called Dasha Barbour. Its on Main Street and has a DJ or live entertainment on the weekends. Its a great vibe. For standard, Kentucky fare, try The Bristol. For real chicken, get an Uber and go to the hood to Indi's. For great ice cream, Louisville Cream.
Hey guys. Enjoyed your video of your visit to Louisville. I am a native of the area of 74 years so I know the city well. KFC was started by Harlan Sanders in Corbin, KY but when the franchising of chicken outlets really took off the headquarters move to Louisville where it remains out on Gardiner Lane. Sander actually lived out in Shelby County about 20 miles east of Louisville near Shelbyville. HIs home was called Blackwood Hall. He opened a restaurant next to his home named Claudia Sanders Dinner House which is still in operation. If you want to see some of the Louisville ex-urbs get an Uber out there and enjoy a great southern, home cooked meal. Also, next trip be sure to visit the Ali Center, eat a hot brown at the English Grill in the Brown Hotel and take the Old Forrester Bourbon Distillery Tour (119 West Main.)
I used to live not too far from Yum headquarters on Gardiner. And my time in Louisville was turbulent (moved there just before the pandemic) but I loved it and look forward to going back for visits!
Louisville, KY is so underrated. Theatre, ballet, orchestra, museums, opera, sports, LGBTQIA+ clubs, and great diversity in music, food and drink (eat local/drink responsibly 😘). Ya'll NEED to come back for Thunder Over Louisville 🎆, dress in your finest for Derby 🎩, cruise around all points and joints, and cap it off with a Cinco de Mayo celebration. Much love and hope to see you soon. ✈
From the little time we spent there we could tell that there really was so much more that we didn’t have the chance to see. We knew we needed some local input though so we are so happy if or all these comments on this video as we fully intend to come back and do more than just a day stay! Thanks so much for your contribution too Simon and maybe you will even see us on our next visit!
YES Colonel Sanders started the first Kentucky Fried Chicken in Corbin KY! He later added a bedroom onto to the restaurant b/c he said if he let them stay over night they would buy breakfast in the morning! It is now a museum!
Heeyyyy Welcome to the 502. People think we are about horses and cowboy boots 🤦🏾♀️ next time go to the Gruv for drinks,good food and atmosphere. Come on back to visit.
We were happy to be there! We know we didn’t have enough time there so another visit is definitely necessary. We appreciate all the suggestions we have gotten from you and others here in the comments too so next time we should for sure have a more rounded and authentic experience. Thank you!
Hey there! I am so glad you all enjoyed my home city. Next time - you MUST check out more of the food scene. Avoid the chains at 4th Street and check out the locally owned gems in NULU. NULU is a very cool part of downtown, and next time it would be worth a short trip to The Highlands/Bardstown road. A very cool/hipster part of town with great restaurants and shops.
It looks so funny to see Louisville on here I'm from here and it's like i see this all the time so to see it through someone's eyes who is not from here is interesting ... this popped up on my time line and i had to watch it and im glad i did ... you seem to have hit some really good spots and enjoyed yourselves i'm so glad you did ....
Listen...the interaction among you and friends is everything- matching energy for energy and cool vibes. In this episode, your friend was so comfortably hilarious reminding me of the others like Lionel, Jamaro and Lorenzo so I request another Game Night or friendsgiving...all of you in the same space is 🔥 🔥 🔥
Oh, a cliffhanger! Looking forward to your news, guys. Louisville looked like a good time. My only time in Kentucky was when I flew to Cincinnati, Ohio. I thought I made a major mistake when I got off the plane and saw a sign that said, 'Welcome to Kentucky!' I didn't realize the airport was right on the Kentucky side of the Ohio/Kentucky border. Love seeing you guys smiling and enjoying quality time together.
For Bourbon you gotta do the Bourbon Trail. It'll take you away from the city but you can see how beautiful Kentucky truly is. Thanks for visiting the city I called home for 40+ years before I moved across the river to take care of mom.
Louisville is by far my favorite city because of the people. The people are so nice and are less fake than other places. I'm so glad you got to see our wonderful city!
Wish I knew who you knew b/c I was born & raised here & have ALWAYS encountered fake flaky peeps. I lived in Los Angeles for 15yrs dealing w/fake ass flakiness so when I moved back 2019, I was glad b/c I thought I would meet real authentic people & that has been FAR from the truth. The dating scene has been just as bad as in LA as well! Considering the crappy weather here, I wish I hadn't left honestly! I'm glad you have experienced REAL people tho!
Haha yes, taking planes really does feel like it's as common here as it was for me jumping on a bus back in Jamaica too. So I know exactly how you feel. Glad you still continue to enjoy our travels too though!
So glad y'all enjoyed our city ! Next time you come go to the Faulkner museum all local artists , try some amazing food at Indi's and the Brown and try to see a show at Play !
If you pack an outfit for every season here you will be fine- don’t worry you will be able to wear every outfit in one day….don’t forget rain gear as well 😂
Haha one of the servers was telling us that. That the week before we just missed it going from snowy to sunny in a matter of days. We will make sure to be well equipped next time!
@@MeetTheMazelins 😂😂😂 it’s been like this all winter…when you come for a visit again and if you stay more then 2 days be sure to pick up allergy meds 😩 🤗
I was raised in Louisville Kentucky. Always love the city and my state. As of late it’s been turned over to a bunch of people that are nothing but animals.
HEY GUYS MISSED YOU HOPE YOU GUYS HAVE A GREAT AND BLESSED TIME. HAPPY NEW YEAR HOPE YOU GUYS HAVE A GREAT AND BLESSED NEW YEAR YOU AND YOU FAMILY. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏿🙏🏿💙💙💯💯💯💯👑👑❤❤✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Great fun video lots to see and do intresting state. I only wanted to try the Kentucky Fried Chicken lol always great seeing you. You both are so sweet and genuine love you always.
Hi Brian and Alec, Louisville was awesome, enjoyed you guy, loved both museums, can't wait to see what's going on in the next vlog... hummmmm could it be a surprise trip back to Jamaica for Alec to see family, or maybe somewhere to see friends? 🤔😊😁
i had to come back lol because i think a lot of people think of Louisville for Horses and Kentucky Derby and Baseball and the bats etc but its so fully of beautiful buildings and eateries and scenery its just a really beautiful place to live and raise a family and i feel this really showed a great representation, but if you haven't you got to come back for Derby you all would love it !!! You all are such a vibe yourselves
You should come back during the Gaslight Festival. Basically all of Louisville can set up booths on Watterson Trail and all the roads are closed for this event. You can walk around and buy stuff from people. It’s not like a yard sale, they usually make the stuff. One time I got a belt and they stamped my name into it right in front of me. Also I didn’t see the whole video, but you should go on the walking bridge into Indiana if you come back.
The very first KFC is located in Corbin Kentucky. There's a small museum there as well. I am born and raised from southeast Kentucky, living in Louisville now.
Y’all are getting closer to 10k subs! Won’t be too much longer. I’m really happy to see how big this space continues to grow and so proud of y’all’s progression. I love y’all so much. 😭❤️
From someone who lives here, next time go to the bars/restaurants on Bardstown Rd, Frankfurt Ave. Less chains and MANY MANY more local options. Louisville is known as a Foodies Paradise! Highly recommended Seviche on Bardstown Rd. Worked there for years, and it is still my FAV. spot!
If you went down the other way in downtown, it would have been better - head to NuLu next time... glad you gave us a visit. There's so much more to see. & ALL THE BOURBON!
Hello new friends 👋🏾! I jus had to see how this adventure turned out🤗! I've lived in Louisville since I was born. I love it that y'all brought us and others who have never been to Louisville Kentucky,an amazing experience. Next time visit at Derby (first weekend in May). Horse racing, great food, music and concerts, and meet some lovely down home people 🥰. Thanks for sharing👍🏾❤️
Kentucky state is where Colonel Sanders started his road side restaurant where he developed 11 herb and spices recipes and when he sold the recipe, He became the ambassador KFC.
Idk if anyone ever answered y’all’s question but yes Kentucky Fried Chicken originated here. He and his wife lived in Shelbyville KY. There is a restaurant called Claudia Sanders and it has a bar upstairs and a beautiful old home.
Just stumbled upon you guys. Awww I hate that you didn't get to do one of our bourbon tours downtown. You all have to come back to our city. There's so much to see.
Yesss we are mad that we were too tired so had to forego the bourbon tour because we thought it might take out too much of the rest of our day. Louisville is definitely one of the places we have on our list to revisit when Brian isn’t on a layover. We got some amazing suggestions in the comments, hopefully you can assist with which bourbon tour is the best!
How exciting. Is ‘dead heading’ going to another destination to work from it? But without working as you head to that destination. I love flying - although I think my travelling days are over, sadly. (I have ME and struggle with noise and crowds - amongst other things associated with life!)
Roots 101 is a great African American museum you should check out. Also visit Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby, the longest consecutively running sporting event in North America. The museum is great even if you’re not a horse racing fan. The racetrack is beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed the city! Another suggestion is a bourbon tour and some good restaurants is Brendan's Catch, La Bodequita, The Post, Four Pegs to name a few.
So we learnt while we were there! Only had 30 hours there including sleep time, so we fully intend to go back and do some of these things that were seeing here in the comments. We loved Louisville Diane 💜
@@MeetTheMazelins Something I think is fun to do if you like bourbon is design your own. Barrels and Billets lets you take a quiz and then makes a bourbon that you can name based on your quiz. It's a little pricey, but fun to do. You can do the quiz on line, then pick up your bottle when you get there. The Speed Art Museum is also a good place to visit and definitely do the Church Hill Downs tour and museum. Muhammad Ali Museum is great, Bardstown Road is where you can hit tons of bars and restaurants. I could go on and on. I don't live there, but have a family member who does. Great place to visit.
My brother and sister in law live there and my mom and my aunt and I enjoyed the Muhammad Ali museum and the free outdoor concert in the park . Hopefully they still have those. Enjoyed following along with you two!
Well we know for sure that they still have the Ali Museum because we got many suggestions from locals for it. We definitely intend on going back so the next time we will be sure to let you know about that concert in the park!
I would visit The Belle of Louisville Steam Boat,The Speed art Museum,Tour The Glassworks and when the weather is right See the Louisville Zoo's many attractions and Explore River Front Park.I also recommend The Galt House and the bar there cannot remember the name right now.During Derby it explodes with activity here and you would be hard pressed to see a small fraction of all the events and happenings. Happy traveling!Do come back this Kentucky girl was happy you were here for a visit.☺️
Yes it originates from here. Hi I’m glad you got to visit my home state Louisville, Kentucky.KFC was founded by Colonel Harland Sanders an entrepreneur who began selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky, during the Great Depression.
Thanks Alex! Glad you felt we did y’all justice in the little time we had! We loved our time though and definitely will be back. Looking forward to sharing more moments with you in the future! 💜
Kentucky derby museum and actually seeing some races is a absolute must. The Muhammad Ali museum is cool. Any bourbon distillery in the city or outside the city is worth it for sure! Sooo many distilleries to try and I assure you they ALL have bourbon balls. If you rent a car and go to Frankfort about a 45 min drive east Buffalo Trace has a free tour and it’s one of the best distilleries in the country IMO
I recommend the Frazier history museum, I know it sounds a bit boring but it’s really interesting and has some really fun tours. I also recommend going into some of the other neighborhoods especially for food and shopping, nulu has some amazing shopping, bardstown and germantown have some great food and shops, and those are just a few!
Bardstown road is where a lot of shops, bars, and restaurants are. Down by the waterfront there is "the walking bridge" you can walk across that bridge to get to Indiana. There are things to do on both sides of the bridge. I think riding the scooters are a fun way to see the city/waterfront. Royals Hot Chicken in Nulu is a good local spot. Vincenzo's Italian restaurant is downtown. Play (is a gay club in Butchertown, there's one there and in Nashville). There is a bunch of different bourbons made all over Kentucky but there are a few of the distilleries in Louisville. Angels envy, Old Forester, Rabbit Hole, Kentucky Peerless, Michter Fort distilleries are located in the downtown area. The official sandwich of the city of Louisville is the Hot Brown and was invented at the historic Brown Hotel (located downtown) in the 1920s. You can get a mint julep there as well which is the Kentucky derby signature drink. Also, you can actually go to the Kentucky Derby museum or if its a day races are going on you could enjoy that as well. The Muhammad Ali museum.
Stumbled across your video and I live here next time you must go to the Muhammad Ali center and to the track there is now a bit on your that you can take and a little more night life in the weekends please come back ❤
Hey Robin! Yes, we have that on our to do list for the next time. We got some great suggestions in addition to yours so we definitely plan to come back again 💜
Hello Guys!! This is the first time running into your channel and love this video. I am from and live in Louisville, and truly enjoyed your take on the city. Louisville is a foodie town. There are plenty of restaurants that are local (not big chains) that have great food; mostly located on Bardstown Road and some on Frankfort Ave that you must try when in Louisville again. New subscriber here!!
Hey Cass! Well we are so happy that you did. We appreciate your kind words and welcome you warmly to our family here on TH-cam. Oh yes, we definitely intend to come back so those local suggestions would be great! A few people suggested Bardstown so we know it’s a must. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Looking forward to sharing even more with you in 2023!
Brian and Alec, I enjoyed the vlog. Thank both of you for bringing us along. Both locations you guys visited were very exciting 👏. Louisville Kentucky looks to be a very nice place to visit. I'm super excited you guys are traveling and enjoying life together ❤️ ❤️.
To answer you question YES!, Colonel Harland Sanders started his first restaurant in Corbin, KY. it's still in operation serving his original recipes however it's not called KFC. The KFC franchises were essentially licensed spinoffs for which he originally helped to setup and later became the spokesperson and face of the company. He is buried in Louisville at the world famous Cave Hill Cemetery (amazing place, worth a visit) where people picnic at ofc enjoying his chicken. KFC today is part of Yum Brands, tho I think the KFC World Headquarters is still separate and visible from the Watterson expressway (look for the seamonster topiary next to a lake) Thanks for visiting our lovely city!
Glad you liked our city. You didn’t experience anything that was “horse” related. Come back Derby week-end. And yes. KFC was originated in Kentucky. Not Louisville. I’m sure others gave you that info. Come back soon! ❤️
Awwww that would have been so nice Tenise! We definitely hope to be back sooner than later because we know there is so much more we could have seen. We loved Louisville 💜
I enjoy the MazeGang trips!😊 I knew i was missing them plane rides to different destinations. Lol I'm happy to see you guys happy & living your best life, you deserve it! Bless uP Brian & Alec 💯♥️✨🙏🏽
Now y’all should have dialed me up, I’m from Louisville… born and raised. Looks like y’all were at The Embassy Hotel downtown by the Omni. KFC originated in Kentucky, Yum! Brands owns the brand and that houses Taco Bell and Pizza Hut as well. Random tidbits. Third Street Dive is a good hole in the wall bar, haven’t been there since I lived back home when I was in college. Hope it was still a good time. 21C is pretty iconic and the art is always abstract and edgy, so good. Great choice guys! People pronounce the city incorrectly all the time, it’s normal, no biggie. I always tell them say it this way so you sound like a local, “Loo-A-Vul.” Fun fact, 95% of the worlds bourbon comes from Louisville. Hopefully y’all got a good pour while there if that’s your thing. I won’t even go into the nightlife, that I didn’t see in the video👀👀😂. Fourth Street Live is more touristy and very straight facing. When y’all go back, head over to Bardstown road, more LGBTQIA centered. Looks like you both enjoyed yourselves though. 👏🏾🕺🏾🤌🏾
Well it's never too late Jesse, because we definitely want to go back. We were so pressured with time because we woke up late the one actual day we had but we feel as though we did still get a great mix of activities to do together. It really would have topped it off if we did get the LGBTQ+ nightlife experience (which you know we love), but for SURE the next time, so we thank you for the insight! We will also make sure that we get the pronunciation right the next time too haha. For the things we did do, Third Street Dive really was as much as we could have asked for going out 1:30 AM. The bartender was superrrrr friendly and for who was there we felt like we were regulars with how open everyone was to interact. The art museum definitely was a highlight for us, and so happy that we found it. And of course we did get our bourbon! Nearly made me miss the flight with the fight I had to wake up 😂
You all have inspired me to check out the museums. My out of town family always asks why I have never been to the Muhammad Ali one & I have no answer. I did go to the African American Heritage Center tho. Glad u both had fun. I stayed at the hotel recently for my sister’s wedding & that lobby is cute!
Regarding Kentucky Fried Chicken. It originated in Corbin, Kentucky which is about two hours southeast of Louisville on I-75. Harlan Sanders ran a motel/restaurant in Corbin. He had failed as a businessman before, but got lucky as he experimented with different ways to fry chicken. After coming up with a secret combination of spices he discovered his chicken was the selling point of the restaurant. Unfortunately, he could not cook if fast enough to keep up with customer demand. He eventually experimented with cooking the chicken in a preasure cooker which reduced the time for preparing the chicken and he was finally able to keep up with demand. He then sold the rights to cook and serve his chicken to other restaurant owners. The governor of Kentucky gave Sanders the honorary title of Kentucky Colonal, which he used to promote is restaurant. From then on he was Colonal Sanders. Ultimately, a lawyer from Lousiville named John Y. Brown and a few other investors bought the rights to Sander's restuarant assets and the Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise grew from there to what it is today. The reason for the confusion over where KFC is from might come from the fact that the first franchised restaurant to have the name Kentucky Fried Chicken was actually located in Utah. If you come back to Louisville, you can see the modern headquarters of the YUM corporation, which was originally KFC, on the south side of I-264 between the Poplar Level and Bardstown Road exits. It is only about two miles east of the airport with also is located on the south side of I-264.
You guys popped up ony feed...20+ year FA here for another airline who commutes to ORD but lives in the Ville. Like others have said next time you snag a RON check out areas that are a $10 Uber outside of downtown. Like many other northern cities...the place really comes alive in spring and has tons of stuff going on till late fall. Hope to see you again!
Hi guys!! Happy Sunday. Another great video. I enjoy a glimpse into the life of a flight attendant and his husband! Alec, it appears you have become acclimated to the colder weather. In the 30s and no heavy coat/hat? That’s amazing!! Enjoy your week. 💜💜💜💜
Next time y’all come through Louisville, you have to visit the Kentucky Derby museum on Taylor Boulevard and visit the Angels Envy bourbon distillery downtown.
Ah! My favorite couple. Love Love this Video sight seeing was very informative and interesting , thanks for sharing love you guys ❤ Brian thanks for taking Alec around showing him interesting places in the USA Alec you are amazing ❤❤❤
I'm lived in Louisville for all the 62 yrs of my life. I've been too other cities, but there's no place like home. I noticed that you all stayed in the downtown area, most likely because you only had a short stay here. Being from Louisville they shouldn't have never let you leave without seeing what we are really famous for, which is "Churchill Downs" home if the "Kentucky Derby"
My guess, a new endorsement. 🤗 The only video I watch on TH-cam from start to finish, without having to fast forward no matter how long it lasted. keep doing great things.
Wait i just got to end of the video Why don't you guys share with us what states you haven't been to yet, in the description section, that way we can share in the comment section what you can do in those states!?🤷🏽♂️😂☺️ where y'all going to a wedding 👀 I think y'all already been to Jersey sooo but hey if you're back here, I'll be more than happy to tell y'all where to go!
Also, hit the Muhammad Ali Museum, go party on Bardstown Road, and hit some local eateries
We appreciate all the suggestions! Thank you. If you could drop some of the good eateries too that would be extremely helpful.
@Meet The Mazelins I would suggest a great locally owned upscale soul food restaurant called Dasha Barbour. Its on Main Street and has a DJ or live entertainment on the weekends. Its a great vibe.

Next time y’all come I would love to meet y’all.
Yassss they would love Bardstown Road so many parties
Thank you. Welcome to the 502. Please share and spread the word. Our city is beautiful and growing more and more❤
I think everyone watching this is from Louisville at this point 😂
I love the way Brian is laid back and chilled, but Alec is life like and jovial. This can and does make for a perfect pairing.

You should also come back for the Gaslight festival
Plus at least 1 murder a day. Love it here.

Ramsis is one of my faves to eat! Also Selinas brunch is cheap but AMAZING! 2.50 mimosas & like 4.00 hash brown casserole! can't beat it!

Y’all have to come back down during the Derby which is the first weekend in May! Glad y’all enjoyed the city.

Glad you enjoyed Louisville. I liked your friend trying to do some kind of dance behind the water, 😅😅. Have no clue where your next adventure is 🤔.

I enjoyed the vlog Kentucky Brian and Alec, Happy Sunday.
You should come back during the Gaslight Festival. Basically all of Louisville can set up booths on Watterson Trail and all the roads are closed for this event. You can walk around and buy stuff from people. It’s not like a yard sale, they usually make the stuff. One time I got a belt and they stamped my name into it right in front of me. Also I didn’t see the whole video, but you should go on the walking bridge into Indiana if you come back.
The very first KFC is located in Corbin Kentucky. There's a small museum there as well. I am born and raised from southeast Kentucky, living in Louisville now.
The Ali Museum is a good spot to tour there also. I enjoyed the spots you toured, those were new for me. I'll need to check those out. 👍🏾
The highlands is another part of town that is more lively and I think y’all will enjoy. My first video of y’all and I really enjoyed it!
Y’all are getting closer to 10k subs! Won’t be too much longer. I’m really happy to see how big this space continues to grow and so proud of y’all’s progression. I love y’all so much. 😭❤️
Born and raised in Louisville, KY 💜 Welcome!!
Happy Sunday!
Good vlog, per usual
From someone who lives here, next time go to the bars/restaurants on Bardstown Rd, Frankfurt Ave. Less chains and MANY MANY more local options. Louisville is known as a Foodies Paradise! Highly recommended Seviche on Bardstown Rd. Worked there for years, and it is still my FAV. spot!
If you went down the other way in downtown, it would have been better - head to NuLu next time... glad you gave us a visit. There's so much more to see. & ALL THE BOURBON!
Hello new friends 👋🏾! I jus had to see how this adventure turned out🤗! I've lived in Louisville since I was born. I love it that y'all brought us and others who have never been to Louisville Kentucky,an amazing experience. Next time visit at Derby (first weekend in May). Horse racing, great food, music and concerts, and meet some lovely down home people 🥰. Thanks for sharing👍🏾❤️
Kentucky state is where Colonel Sanders started his road side restaurant where he developed 11 herb and spices recipes and when he sold the recipe, He became the ambassador KFC.
best time to visit and hope you come back for all the Derby Festivities at some point. . being in Louisville at Derby time is awesome . .
Thanks for sharing some insight about flight attendants life
Idk if anyone ever answered y’all’s question but yes Kentucky Fried Chicken originated here. He and his wife lived in Shelbyville KY. There is a restaurant called Claudia Sanders and it has a bar upstairs and a beautiful old home.
Brian and Alce I just love the music in your intro
Kentucky fried chicken was originated in louisiville, KY and the head quater is still located there.
Thanks for the confirmation! Now I'm really upset that we never actually got any KFC while we were there.
Just stumbled upon you guys. Awww I hate that you didn't get to do one of our bourbon tours downtown. You all have to come back to our city. There's so much to see.
Yesss we are mad that we were too tired so had to forego the bourbon tour because we thought it might take out too much of the rest of our day. Louisville is definitely one of the places we have on our list to revisit when Brian isn’t on a layover. We got some amazing suggestions in the comments, hopefully you can assist with which bourbon tour is the best!
Gréât vidéo! Got ideas now for that destination if I’m there, thanks 😁
I’m exited for the big news 😮😊🥂✨💥
Yesss I love the Dive. I’ve spent a lot of time at that bar
That you for taking us along. Always a pleasure to watch you guys
How exciting. Is ‘dead heading’ going to another destination to work from it? But without working as you head to that destination. I love flying - although I think my travelling days are over, sadly. (I have ME and struggle with noise and crowds - amongst other things associated with life!)
Thanks for continuing to share the things that you guys share with us. I look forward to seeing what coming next. Much love!!!👊🏾❤️
Roots 101 is a great African American museum you should check out. Also visit Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby, the longest consecutively running sporting event in North America. The museum is great even if you’re not a horse racing fan. The racetrack is beautiful.
Happy and bless year ever the best is yet to come
Thanks so much Merlene!
Glad you enjoyed the city! Another suggestion is a bourbon tour and some good restaurants is Brendan's Catch, La Bodequita, The Post, Four Pegs to name a few.
I’m so glad you were here in Louisville !! Glad it wasn’t too ghetto
Love louisville.
We loved it too!
Bourbon Distillery tour and Churchill Downs museum.
Louisville is a great city. Looks like you just scratched the surface. There is so much to see and do.
So we learnt while we were there! Only had 30 hours there including sleep time, so we fully intend to go back and do some of these things that were seeing here in the comments. We loved Louisville Diane 💜
@@MeetTheMazelins Something I think is fun to do if you like bourbon is design your own. Barrels and Billets lets you take a quiz and then makes a bourbon that you can name based on your quiz. It's a little pricey, but fun to do. You can do the quiz on line, then pick up your bottle when you get there. The Speed Art Museum is also a good place to visit and definitely do the Church Hill Downs tour and museum. Muhammad Ali Museum is great, Bardstown Road is where you can hit tons of bars and restaurants. I could go on and on. I don't live there, but have a family member who does. Great place to visit.
My brother and sister in law live there and my mom and my aunt and I enjoyed the Muhammad Ali museum and the free outdoor concert in the park . Hopefully they still have those. Enjoyed following along with you two!
Well we know for sure that they still have the Ali Museum because we got many suggestions from locals for it. We definitely intend on going back so the next time we will be sure to let you know about that concert in the park!
I would visit The Belle of Louisville Steam Boat,The Speed art Museum,Tour The Glassworks and when the weather is right See the Louisville Zoo's many attractions and Explore River Front Park.I also recommend The Galt House and the bar there cannot remember the name right now.During Derby it explodes with activity here and you would be hard pressed to see a small fraction of all the events and happenings. Happy traveling!Do come back this Kentucky girl was happy you were here for a visit.☺️
Your always welcome in Louisville. 👍
Hi from Louisville, KY I hope you guys had fun here and if you love it, come visit again. Hopefully we can hang and have cocktails and Conversations 😆
Such A Handsome Couple Love It 💙💙💙🥰🥰🥰
Yes it originates from here. Hi I’m glad you got to visit my home state Louisville, Kentucky.KFC was founded by Colonel Harland Sanders an entrepreneur who began selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky, during the Great Depression.
I love your videos! Thanks for taking us with you to Louisville, KY!! I love your accent, Alec!!! Keep the videos coming!!!
hey fellas. great rep of the 502. i’m gonna follow. enjoy the journey. 😊
Thanks Alex! Glad you felt we did y’all justice in the little time we had! We loved our time though and definitely will be back. Looking forward to sharing more moments with you in the future! 💜
Good Sunday evening to you guys now luck on and watching you guys enjoy your day guys.
Thank you Roger!
Kentucky derby museum and actually seeing some races is a absolute must. The Muhammad Ali museum is cool. Any bourbon distillery in the city or outside the city is worth it for sure! Sooo many distilleries to try and I assure you they ALL have bourbon balls. If you rent a car and go to Frankfort about a 45 min drive east Buffalo Trace has a free tour and it’s one of the best distilleries in the country IMO
I recommend the Frazier history museum, I know it sounds a bit boring but it’s really interesting and has some really fun tours. I also recommend going into some of the other neighborhoods especially for food and shopping, nulu has some amazing shopping, bardstown and germantown have some great food and shops, and those are just a few!
Bardstown road is where a lot of shops, bars, and restaurants are. Down by the waterfront there is "the walking bridge" you can walk across that bridge to get to Indiana. There are things to do on both sides of the bridge. I think riding the scooters are a fun way to see the city/waterfront. Royals Hot Chicken in Nulu is a good local spot. Vincenzo's Italian restaurant is downtown. Play (is a gay club in Butchertown, there's one there and in Nashville). There is a bunch of different bourbons made all over Kentucky but there are a few of the distilleries in Louisville. Angels envy, Old Forester, Rabbit Hole, Kentucky Peerless, Michter Fort distilleries are located in the downtown area. The official sandwich of the city of Louisville is the Hot Brown and was invented at the historic Brown Hotel (located downtown) in the 1920s. You can get a mint julep there as well which is the Kentucky derby signature drink. Also, you can actually go to the Kentucky Derby museum or if its a day races are going on you could enjoy that as well. The Muhammad Ali museum.
Stumbled across your video and I live here next time you must go to the Muhammad Ali center and to the track there is now a bit on your that you can take and a little more night life in the weekends please come back ❤
Hey Robin! Yes, we have that on our to do list for the next time. We got some great suggestions in addition to yours so we definitely plan to come back again 💜
Hello Guys!! This is the first time running into your channel and love this video. I am from and live in Louisville, and truly enjoyed your take on the city. Louisville is a foodie town. There are plenty of restaurants that are local (not big chains) that have great food; mostly located on Bardstown Road and some on Frankfort Ave that you must try when in Louisville again. New subscriber here!!
Hey Cass! Well we are so happy that you did. We appreciate your kind words and welcome you warmly to our family here on TH-cam. Oh yes, we definitely intend to come back so those local suggestions would be great! A few people suggested Bardstown so we know it’s a must. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Looking forward to sharing even more with you in 2023!
Brian and Alec, I enjoyed the vlog. Thank both of you for bringing us along. Both locations you guys visited were very exciting 👏. Louisville Kentucky looks to be a very nice place to visit. I'm super excited you guys are traveling and enjoying life together ❤️ ❤️.
To answer you question YES!, Colonel Harland Sanders started his first restaurant in Corbin, KY. it's still in operation serving his original recipes however it's not called KFC. The KFC franchises were essentially licensed spinoffs for which he originally helped to setup and later became the spokesperson and face of the company.
He is buried in Louisville at the world famous Cave Hill Cemetery (amazing place, worth a visit) where people picnic at ofc enjoying his chicken.
KFC today is part of Yum Brands, tho I think the KFC World Headquarters is still separate and visible from the Watterson expressway (look for the seamonster topiary next to a lake)
Thanks for visiting our lovely city!
Hi guys really enjoyed the trip with you'll. Wishing you guys a bountiful 2023. Lots of love to both of you and BJ
Glad you enjoyed joining us for the outing Rhonda! Wishing you all the best in 2023 as well!
Glad you liked our city. You didn’t experience anything that was “horse” related. Come back Derby week-end. And yes. KFC was originated in Kentucky. Not Louisville. I’m sure others gave you that info. Come back soon! ❤️
Yep saw previous comments regarding KFC... founded in Corbin, KY but headquartered in Louisville.
I’m from Louisville. Happy to see you was in the city.
We really enjoyed it too. Definitely will be back!
Yes, please come back and see more of Louisville. We got lots of stuff to do here.
My city....I was born and raised in *LOUISVILLE, KY*...wish I could greet you as you visit!!...enjoy!
Awwww that would have been so nice Tenise! We definitely hope to be back sooner than later because we know there is so much more we could have seen. We loved Louisville 💜
KFC did start in Kentucky but way down south in London Kentucky not Louisville. But the company headquarters is now in Louisville
We have a huge art festival the 1st weekend in October called the St. James Art Festival and The Kentucky Derby The 1st weekend in May.....
I enjoy the MazeGang trips!😊 I knew i was missing them plane rides to different destinations. Lol
I'm happy to see you guys happy & living your best life, you deserve it! Bless uP Brian & Alec 💯♥️✨🙏🏽
I love baseball and the history of the game that looks like so much fun. Alec looked like a baseball player holding that Louisville slugger.
It really was an interesting tour. You definitely would have loved the slugger museum then. Haha thank you. Maybe I was a player in another life lol
Actually next time you need to see the distilleries here also. To see how the bourbon is made.
Now y’all should have dialed me up, I’m from Louisville… born and raised.
Looks like y’all were at The Embassy Hotel downtown by the Omni. KFC originated in Kentucky, Yum! Brands owns the brand and that houses Taco Bell and Pizza Hut as well. Random tidbits.
Third Street Dive is a good hole in the wall bar, haven’t been there since I lived back home when I was in college. Hope it was still a good time. 21C is pretty iconic and the art is always abstract and edgy, so good. Great choice guys!
People pronounce the city incorrectly all the time, it’s normal, no biggie. I always tell them say it this way so you sound like a local, “Loo-A-Vul.”
Fun fact, 95% of the worlds bourbon comes from Louisville. Hopefully y’all got a good pour while there if that’s your thing.
I won’t even go into the nightlife, that I didn’t see in the video👀👀😂. Fourth Street Live is more touristy and very straight facing. When y’all go back, head over to Bardstown road, more LGBTQIA centered.
Looks like you both enjoyed yourselves though. 👏🏾🕺🏾🤌🏾
Well it's never too late Jesse, because we definitely want to go back. We were so pressured with time because we woke up late the one actual day we had but we feel as though we did still get a great mix of activities to do together. It really would have topped it off if we did get the LGBTQ+ nightlife experience (which you know we love), but for SURE the next time, so we thank you for the insight! We will also make sure that we get the pronunciation right the next time too haha.
For the things we did do, Third Street Dive really was as much as we could have asked for going out 1:30 AM. The bartender was superrrrr friendly and for who was there we felt like we were regulars with how open everyone was to interact. The art museum definitely was a highlight for us, and so happy that we found it. And of course we did get our bourbon! Nearly made me miss the flight with the fight I had to wake up 😂
Nice vlog guys as per usual. My guess is the next thing y’all about to do has to do with California 😉 😜
You all have inspired me to check out the museums. My out of town family always asks why I have never been to the Muhammad Ali one & I have no answer. I did go to the African American Heritage Center tho. Glad u both had fun. I stayed at the hotel recently for my sister’s wedding & that lobby is cute!
Regarding Kentucky Fried Chicken. It originated in Corbin, Kentucky which is about two hours southeast of Louisville on I-75. Harlan Sanders ran a motel/restaurant in Corbin. He had failed as a businessman before, but got lucky as he experimented with different ways to fry chicken. After coming up with a secret combination of spices he discovered his chicken was the selling point of the restaurant. Unfortunately, he could not cook if fast enough to keep up with customer demand. He eventually experimented with cooking the chicken in a preasure cooker which reduced the time for preparing the chicken and he was finally able to keep up with demand. He then sold the rights to cook and serve his chicken to other restaurant owners. The governor of Kentucky gave Sanders the honorary title of Kentucky Colonal, which he used to promote is restaurant. From then on he was Colonal Sanders. Ultimately, a lawyer from Lousiville named John Y. Brown and a few other investors bought the rights to Sander's restuarant assets and the Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise grew from there to what it is today. The reason for the confusion over where KFC is from might come from the fact that the first franchised restaurant to have the name Kentucky Fried Chicken was actually located in Utah. If you come back to Louisville, you can see the modern headquarters of the YUM corporation, which was originally KFC, on the south side of I-264 between the Poplar Level and Bardstown Road exits. It is only about two miles east of the airport with also is located on the south side of I-264.
You guys popped up ony feed...20+ year FA here for another airline who commutes to ORD but lives in the Ville. Like others have said next time you snag a RON check out areas that are a $10 Uber outside of downtown. Like many other northern cities...the place really comes alive in spring and has tons of stuff going on till late fall.
Hope to see you again!
Fraser historical arms museum is amazing and you need to do the Copper and Kings tour
Aww dang, I missed you all in my city 😔 I hope yall enjoyed it here💞
Y'all should have checked out the black Jockey lounge, Churchill downs. The bourbon speakeasy experience .
Hi guys!! Happy Sunday. Another great video. I enjoy a glimpse into the life of a flight attendant and his husband! Alec, it appears you have become acclimated to the colder weather. In the 30s and no heavy coat/hat? That’s amazing!! Enjoy your week. 💜💜💜💜
Next time y’all come through Louisville, you have to visit the Kentucky Derby museum on Taylor Boulevard and visit the Angels Envy bourbon distillery downtown.
Ah! My favorite couple.
Love Love this Video sight seeing was very informative and interesting , thanks for sharing love you guys ❤
Brian thanks for taking Alec around showing him interesting places in the USA
Alec you are amazing ❤❤❤
I'm lived in Louisville for all the 62 yrs of my life. I've been too other cities, but there's no place like home. I noticed that you all stayed in the downtown area, most likely because you only had a short stay here. Being from Louisville they shouldn't have never let you leave without seeing what we are really famous for, which is "Churchill Downs" home if the "Kentucky Derby"
My guess, a new endorsement. 🤗 The only video I watch on TH-cam from start to finish, without having to fast forward no matter how long it lasted. keep doing great things.
Wait i just got to end of the video
Why don't you guys share with us what states you haven't been to yet, in the description section, that way we can share in the comment section what you can do in those states!?🤷🏽♂️😂☺️ where y'all going to a wedding 👀
I think y'all already been to Jersey sooo but hey if you're back here, I'll be more than happy to tell y'all where to go!
Safe flight guys enjoy
Thanks Oreca!
