Chef Jeremy Ashby [AZUR restaurant & patio] "kicked off" the festivities with a food presentation of Kentucky Proud products and a talk about the James Beard Celebrity Chefs dinners during the Games. He also expressed his excitement for the opportunity of Kentucky chefs to show the Kentucky food identity to visitors from around the world. Chef Ashby finished with a quote from First Lady Jane Beshear. "There is southern hospitality and there is Kentucky hospitality." He then said, "We're going to show them Kentucky hospitality."
