A Kentucky horse-country favorite, Louie's Restaurant, closed at the end of March.  Louie Emmons passed away in 2005, and since then it was operated by his son.  He decided to sell, and the building has already been torn down.  We hear a steakhouse chain has purchased the property and is planning to build on the site.  From Michael Stern's Roadfood review:

"We love Louie’s fried chicken at lunch, which is served with good southern-style vegetables, but our favorite time to claim a seat is breakfast, when the place is crowded with the horsey set. This is not the owners or investors, but the working horsey set, i.e. the grooms, handlers, and stable personnel who come to start their day with a three-egg omelet sided by biscuits and gravy or one of the house-special “Big Sire” breakfasts."
