Charlotte Flanary Rocky Adkins, of course. No idea where to eat but I am sure one of the friendly people there would help me out.

Marc Wilson I love Elliott County! All 12 Republicans are who I would visit. Keith Whitley's mom owned the local paper and would print all my press releases verbatim. (Including a typo once.)

Travis M. Scott Rocky Adkins, obviously. See if you can run into Don Rigsby and get him to play some music for you. The Frosty Freeze and P-Mart Gas Station/restaurant are both good locations to grab a bite. I had a lot of friends from MSU who were from there, but most of them don't live there anymore. As to their voting history, in 2008 I had a bet going with their former County Judge Executive over which county would have the highest Democratic margin of victory: Elliot or Floyd. Once he gets out of prison I'll owe him a steak dinner.

Katie Mueller Go see Rocky Adkins along with apparently the 14 other folks who will be showing up at his door (surprise!)...as for food...I'll have to defer to a resident. I am just not sure.

Jeff Noble I know Rocky Adkins but I've never seen actually him in Elliott County. Elliott, along with Lawrence, is a county which, to my knowledge, I've been in only twice, the least number of times of my presence in any of Kentucky's counties. 1979 and 1987. My guess is, since I plan to be involved in a statewide race soon, I'll get back to Elliott in 2015.

LeAnn Boling Crosby This is my home town so I have to comment (am a friend of Les Fugate's) and btw I love this game. Locals prefer Old Hickory to Moonlite. But don't forget the Big Dipper for burgers and milkshakes. And I can tell our politics are different so I won't comment on who you should visit;)

Katie Mueller I want to go visit Chad Aull's wonderful grandparents on their gorgeous farm, and as far as I know, there is no other place to eat in existence IN Owensboro besides Moonlight, is there? Also going to ROMP if it's that time of year with Herbie McKee!

Chad Aull Mil's Dairy Drive In in Whitesville, Kentucky and Norman Mcdonald's Country Drive-In in Philpot are my personal two favorites. Call Clay Ford, Luke Alexander, and Bill Kuegel.

Crystal Hicks Chappell We aren't too far from Owensboro. In fact, we are there almost as much as we are at home. My favorite restaurant is Colby's downtown on 3rd street. We are Friday night regulars there. They have the BEST gumbo in all of the world!!! Also, love their prime rib, salmon, and buffalo tenders. You cannot go wrong at Colby's. As for BBQ, definitely Old Hickory! The sides at Moonlite are killer though. Be sure to check out Smother's Park on the River front as well!

Jeff Noble ^^ taking Chad's word for what's out there to eat outside of Owensboro. My Lewis family tree originates in Utica in the south end of the county so I have a few folks to visit there. Agree on Old Hickory. Curious note: this is one of the misspelled county names, named for Major Jo Daveiss, who was one of the first people to recognize the treasonous activity of Vice President Aaron Burr.

James Higdon The Big Dipper is the be all, end all of cash-only, limited hour burger joints. Always order the "gems" instead of fries. Ask for cherry syrup in your Coke too. Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church has the best barbecue at the BBQ Festival - definitively, hands down. Lure is great for riverfront dining. The bar "Spirits" underneath The Miller House has a second-to-none bourbon selection, and visit Gambrinus Libation Emporium to choose from a world class beer roster. I visit friends and family, but also like to drop in on Judge-Executive Al Mattingly.
