Hungry In Kentucky

Hello, ya little chocolate-glazed donuts! On episode 127 of HINKY, we survived the apocalypse - sorry, I meant to say the eclipse - and we find out about some other special food releases besides those pesky Sun Chips. We each had our own separate food adventures over the past couple of weeks that were both pretty fun, and we talk about places we might wanna visit in the future. We try some snacks in Everybody Tries that taste exact...

Hello ya little Cadbury bunnies! On episode 126 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara talk for (probably) too long about the Lexington Cemetery, even though it has nothing to do with food. Although I do suppose you could maybe have a picnic there... Anyway, we also chat about our latest food journeys, and Sara has been doing the Lord's work trying some of the newer fast food items on the market. We try a new Dorito's flavor and some chocolate ...

Hello, ya little sasporillas! In episode 125 of HINKY, we talk about our feelings on daylight savings time (Carrie now hates it and Sara is barely awake now), we chat about their weekend group outing, and Sara talks about her first-ever trip to a Brazilian steakhouse. We hear about a new-ish TikTok food trend, and we reminisce about the other food trends from the past few years. We try some snacks from Vietnam in this week's editio...

Hello, ya little space dusts! On episode 124 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara chat about The Bear on FX/Hulu since Sara finally started watching it. They also talk about the different places they ate this week, and there's a borderline infuriating article about what not to eat at Red Lobster. We try some meaty-tasting Pringles and the new Space Dust Oreos in Everybody Tries, and Carrie tells us the history of Lexington, KY's hometown seaf...

Hello ya little Dinamitas! On episode 123 of HINKY, it's Fat Tuesday! We talk about Lent and how to navigate the season, and we talk about some of our food adventures from the week. We hear about some Mardi Gras facts and about the new menu items at Taco Bell (cause Sara loves it so). We try the world-famous king cake and a Super Bowl-advertised snack in Everybody Tries, and then we find out the history behind Mardi Gras drinks dur...

Hello, ya little onion nuggets! On episode 122 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara lament the dreary weather outside, but their moods brighten up as the show goes on. We talk about going to a restaurant that Carrie's never been to before, and we find out the most popular fast food chain based on customer satisfaction (you'll be surprised by the answer)! We try some pretzels and Oreos in Everybody Tries, and Carrie gives us the history of one...

Hello, ya little nuts! On episode 121 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara talk about the first snow of 2024 and Carrie has a wild take on cold weather. We talk about the two new restaurants we tried over the weekend, both of which are local and delicious. Plus, the UK Men's Basketball team was spotted eating at one of these spots, so there's that! We talk about the food trends for 2024 (some seem normal, but a couple are crazy), and we try s...

Hello, ya little Spindrifts! On episode 120 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara welcome a guest!

We recap the holidays and do a deep dive on the full English breakfast, and we learn about the history of French fries for the HINKY History Lesson. Do you like cupcakes? Do you like booze? If ...

Hello, ya little Plopps! On episode 109 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara have a lot of catching up to do! Sara talks about her recent trip to California, and Carrie talks about her overnight stay in Louisville. Both trips involved good food, so you know we had to talk about it! And for Everybody Tries, we have a special holiday box from Snack Crate with Christmas and Hannukah-themed treats from all over Europe (and Hawaii)! This episode i...

Hello, ya little Milk Duds! On episode 118 of HINKY, Sara and Carrie chat up top and then get onto the topic of castle lore in Lexington. You may know it now as a fancy hotel and restaurant, but that hasn't always been the case! We also recap Sara's birthday dinners and the other places that we've at this past week. It's finally (kinda) cold outside, so we thought we'd let you know about the best grocery store hot cocoa c/o sporked...

Hello, ya little sugar plums! On episode 117 of HINKY, it's Sara's birthday! We talk about birthday traditions and memories, and we have a bonus history about the Happy Birthday song. We've been saving room in our bellies for Thanksgiving, so we didn't get to a lot of restaurants, but we make up for it by going through a controversial list of Thanksgiving sides from delish.com. We try some Starbucks holiday treats and a Costco snac...

Hello, ya little truffles! On episode 116 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara wax poetic about the time change (is this daylight savings time, we don't know!) and they place bets on what the weather will be on Sara's birthday.

Hello, ya little croissants! On episode 115 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara dive on into their latest experience at a local Korean restaurant, and then they recap all the other tasty foods they've had over the past couple of weeks.

Carrie tells us the best AND worst types of restaurants in Ameri...

Hello, ya sweet little onions! On episode 114 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara rant about concert tickets (and it's not the rant you're thinking of, btw), and Carrie learns a new fact about Sara that she didn't know before. We recap our outing to a local Japanese restaurant, and we talk about the other things we ate over the past couple of weeks as well. It's officially feeling like fall, so all the snacks and drinks in Everybody Tries ar...

Hello ya little bananas! On episode 113 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara had a big ol' Tuesday night at the Cheesecake Factory! We recap Carrie's first trip to the Lexington location, even though it's been here for 10ish years. Don't worry - Sara tried a bunch of local restaurants to balance out all the corporate cheesecake. We talked about our go-to Starbucks drinks, and we have another SnackCrate box (thanks to Sara for not canceling th...

Hello, ya little mysteries! On episode 112 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara recap their weeks before getting into some fall food talk.

Carrie made a tomato pie and talked about her weird birthday dinners, and we read ...

Hello ya little war heads! On episode 109 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara try a snack subscription box! We opted for a surprise and it sure was a pleasant one.

Carrie tells us about some of the weirder fair foods you may find around the country this summer, and she tells us th...
