The Bluebird


Nestled in the small town of Stanford, Kentucky sits a cafe that is well worth the drive. It's one I kept hearing about from Kentucky friends and family. On the wedding week-end, a group of young people who arrived from Idaho and California for the event, joined Julia and Rylan made sure they enjoyed a hearty breakfast there before they started their Kentucky day and the busy wedding schedule! 

So, once the wedding was over and we had a day to relax before shuttling family back to the airport to meet their planes, we decided to check out the Bluebird for ourselves.


Now, who in the world would write an entire blog post about a restaurant? Well, I guess I would. Bear with me. There are some yummy food pictures coming up!


Dad was his usual cheerful self. He enjoys talking to people and engaged our waitress in conversation about the restaurant. 
Local. Fresh. Sustainable. Pure.

Our server was helpful in finding us exactly what we needed to meet our dietary needs. The vegetarian and gluten-free in our group came away happily satisfied with a great selection of foods.


Look at this for freshness! Pasta served with spinach, onion, and artichoke hearts. Add to that roasted red pepper, olives, and a good sprinkling of sunflower seeds.


Gluten free breads were available, like this wrap. They could be served around a variety of delicious gluten-free and vegetarian ingredients.


And you can never go wrong with made-from-scratch potato soup!


I'll admit that we did do some food sharing, simply so we could "try" the yummy looking foods that other family members had ordered. 


Alma looks satisfied. Everything was delicious!


And. . .I was able to buy a BLUE.bird mug so I can remember the experience as I sip on my tea here at home. Connections. LOVE. Memories.

  4. We went to The Bluebird yesterday (Saturday) for a late lunch. We always share the delicious foods. Chef Bill is always happy to chat with us. And, BTW, he said he will always prepare something gluten free even if it's not on the menu. I love the Somerset Wrap on a GF tortilla. (Somerset is just south of Stanford)
