603 Sixth Ave., Dayton, Ky.
Dayton, Kentuckys Purple Poulet brands itself as a Southern bourbon bistro, emphasis on the bourbon and the hospitality and service. They boast an extensive bourbon collection, one of the largest in the area, and the spirit is woven into many of their dishes, like the KY Coq au Vin. The bourbon-brined chicken breast is juicy and stark white, and the red-wine bacon gravy is full of flavor. The "Swanky" Shrimp & Grits come with bourbon-cream pan gravy, andouille, bacon and red-eye ganache.
