Food Fight 2018: Woodford Reserve!
In this epic edition of Food Fight, it’s a battle of the booze, wherein our contenders serve up a one-two punch of food and drink using a five-category flavor wheel for a proper tasting of the secret ingredient. Each pairing incorporates palate-pleasing notes of grain, wood, sweet aromatics, spice, and fruit/florals that make our taste buds want to sing karaoke and make inappropriate phone calls. Without further ado, the secret ingredient for FLL issue 46 is Woodford Reserve bourbon.
