Alison goes to Kentucky, makes a Cobb Salad | Home Movies with Alison Roman - Video

Fermentation is hot! Home Movies hits the road this week and visits the Maker’s Mark distillery in Loretto, Kentucky. We learn a lot: a barrel of whiskey weighs 550 lbs and I can’t move 550 lbs, bottling is … stressful, Maker’s Mark is a small operation with a big heart (it’s a B corp!), and I like whiskey. When we get home, we make Cobb Salad which, according to David, I can’t stop talking about. This Cobb is at its core a really well seasoned salad thanks to a lemon, shallot, mustard vinaigrette. It’s elegant! And it’s also accessorized (enter chicken, avocado, tomato, bacon - of course, egg, and blue cheese). I enjoy mine with a brown derby, a bittersweet bourbon (did I mention I like whiskey?) cocktail that is duality personified.

Thank you Maker’s Mark for sponsoring this episode and being the greatest host! We’d love to visit you again (I promise I won’t try to bottle this time).
