Well now, let me tell ya ’bout this place called The Trustees’ Table over at the Shaker Village, down near Harrodsburg. It’s a mighty fine spot to get yer belly full, I’ll tell ya that. Located at 3501 Lexington Road, it’s a place where folks go for a real homely meal, and I reckon you could do a lot worse than pay a visit.
Now, don’t go thinkin’ it’s just any old eatery. No, no, The Trustees’ Table is somethin’ special, rooted deep in the history of them Shakers, you know, them folks that lived simple lives out there, tendin’ to the land, makin’ their own goods, and stickin’ to their beliefs. And let me tell you, their way of doin’ things sure rubbed off on how the food’s served today. Everything’s fresh, seasonal, and as local as it gets, with most of it comin’ from their own garden right there on the property.
The place has all sorts of sittin’ arrangements, too. You can sit down for a hearty breakfast during the week from 7:30 to 10:00 in the mornin’, or you can hit it on the weekend for a buffet that runs from 7:30 to 10:00 as well. They got steel-cut oats that’s just downright tasty, with a little brown sugar on top for that extra bit of sweetness. It ain’t fancy, but it fills ya right up, and that’s what matters.
But let’s not forget the holidays, now. If you’re around from December 1st to the 23rd, they’ve got themselves a holiday lunch that’ll make ya feel all warm inside. It’s a three-course deal, with soup or salad to start, and then four different entrees to pick from. Can’t go wrong with any of ’em, I reckon, and it’ll sure fill ya right up, just like the ol’ times.
Now, don’t be sittin’ there thinkin’ that all this good food just comes from nowhere. That’s where the magic happens, see. The menu changes with the seasons, because they use what’s fresh and ready from the garden. It’s like they work with nature itself, always changin’ things around, so you get a real taste of the land. Ain’t that somethin’?
The Trustees’ Table has a real peaceful feel to it, too, just like the Shaker folks used to live. It’s a quiet place, and I reckon it’ll do your soul some good to sit down there and just take in the sights, the smells, and the sounds of nature. You can even make reservations ahead of time, if you want, by givin’ them a call at (859) 734-5411 or goin’ online to book yer spot. That way, you ain’t gotta worry about findin’ a seat when you get there.
And if you happen to be near Harrodsburg, well, you ain’t far from this here place, and it’s well worth a stop. I tell ya, there’s somethin’ special ’bout a meal that’s served with love and care, and that’s exactly what you get at The Trustees’ Table.
