Food and Beverage
Recently recognized as “one of the nations’ best local food scenes” by USA Today, Louisville’s culinary scene is booming and business is good.
Louisville has more restaurants per capita than any other city in the nation. The one and only Urban Bourbon Experience can be found in Louisville with over 10 distillery experiences, 40+ stops on the Urban Bourbon Trail and a number of Bourbon events such as the Bourbon Classic and Kentucky Bourbon Affair. In addition to Bourbon, Louisville is home to world-class spirits such as finely made brandy and gin at Copper & Kings Distillery. The nation's largest restaurant headquarters calls Louisville home, Yum! Brands, which operates Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and KFC.
Louisville is a hub for companies of all sizes, from local to global, including production, manufacturing, flavor development, and distribution. Companies such as Bluefin Seafoods and Shuckman’s Fish have been supplying seafood and smoked caviar to restaurants all over the country. Paradise Tomato Kitchen supplies tomato-based sauces to some of the top pizza chains around the country.
