The Catfish Kitchen

The Catfish Kitchen in Benton, Kentucky has justifiably been featured in Southern Living magazine. Now it’s on Walt’s Diner. I wonder which they are more proud of?

Tasty fried catfish.

While visiting Kentucky Lake with my college friend Jon Tilmon, we had a hankering for some catfish.

The sides were stand alone delicious. Jon had been whining about wanting some white beans all day and they delivered! And now I’m stuck in the car with for the next two hours.

There was a nice hunk of ham in my bowl.

The hush puppies were uniquely shaped and perfectly fried. I was living on the edge and crumbled them into my beans.

Funky shaped hush puppies.

Because we were so stuffed, we got a blackberry and a peach cobbler to go.
