Elegant Contrast
Lexington is regularly ranked one of the best places to live in America, and it’s easy to see why in this elegant town, nicknamed the “Athens of the West.” Graham’s first stop is Keeneland, a national historic landmark for horse racing, where a trainer gives him a tour of the barn and Chef Marc Therrien prepares a family-style dinner in the paddock. Later, after trying his hand at vintage video games at Best Friend Bar, Graham snacks on Sri Lankan street food at Tuk Tuk, Chef Samantha Fore’s pop-up kitchen.
