Still figuring out where to eat this afternoon? Let me tell you about Carson's Food and Drink, one of downtown's standout spots for modern American cuisine. You'll find Carson's right on East Main Street, and while they're known for their stellar dinner service Tuesday through Saturday, I've got to tell you about one dish that's absolutely worth planning your evening around. Their duck fat fries are something special, Lexington. We're talking about perfectly crispy fries cooked in rich, flavorful duck fat that takes this classic side to a whole new level. The modern American menu at Carson's showcases creative takes on familiar favorites, and everything I've had there shows real attention to detail and quality ingredients. The downtown location puts you right in the heart of all the Main Street action, perfect for making a night of it. You can check out their full menu and make reservations at carsonslex.com.
