Welcome to Chew on Lou!
Welcome to Chew on Lou, the newest Louisville food blog. Future posts will be entirely food-centric, but I wanted to take some time to explain who I am and what you can expect from Chew on Lou.
Who am I?
My name is Amanda and I’m a recent Louisville transplant. I hail from Michigan, but have spent the past four years living and eating my way around the world.
