a sawbuck We sent Àve writers out in search of some decent bar grub. The catch? They could only spend $10 on food at each spot. Here are their 15 recommendations. (We Àgure you can help yourself out in the drinks department.) Jack's Lounge 122 Sears Ave. Two silver-dollar-size halves of a sautéed and horizontally sliced diver scallop sit on a bed of Parmesan grits cooked with lobster butter and bits of country ham ($10). Between the scallops are a few sautéed green beans. Words cannot describe the richness and navor, but here goes: The mrst creamy forkful — an alliance of seafood, ham, cheese, butter and tender grain — will leave you weak in the knees. Eat slowly. Savor. There are but seven or so forkfuls to go. — Jack Welch Rye 900 E. Market St. You could buy 10 Sally Lunn rolls for $10, but that would just be weird. Plus, if your bartender is cool, like ours was on a recent evening, he'll give you a couple of the buttery, sea salt-sprinkled drugs-in-the-form-of-bread for free. That same night, the menu had just changed. If the kitchen's still making it, order this for $10: a mlling piece of crust-crisp toast warmed by a blanket of ricotta and broccoli rabe that's as thick as the rough at Augusta National. A poached egg atop the grass-colored spread is the golf ball. — Josh Moss Selena's at Willow Lake Tavern 10609 Lagrange Road Two agonizing decisions: 1. Watch horse racing on TVG or basketball on ESPN, and 2. Order crab rolls ($7.50) or stuffed shrimp ($10) to side with a Falls City draft. Decision No. 1: It's basketball season. Decision No. 2: Heads crab, tails shrimp. It's heads! Good call on both: Duke loses, and the spicy crab — stuffed inside a fried crust that's lighter than it looks — would do any East Coast dive proud.

For a dollar more: the fried chicken sandwich with…Wafnes. As. The. Bun. It's an easy call. When you're at a bar and a sandwich comes with maple syrup on it, you order that sandwich. — JM 34 LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 2.13
