You Must Try The Flower Pot Bread At This Unique Southern Restaurant In Kentucky

The bread basket is often comprised of a few sorry, stale rolls, and really only something to nibble on while perusing a menu. But not the bread at Patti's 1880's Settlement. The restaurant's iconic flower pot bread is one of its signature dishes; a delicious, buttery, pillow-soft, mountainous yeasty roll baked right in -- you guessed it -- a flower pot. The flower pot bread from Patti's is worth the drive alone, but while you're there, you might as well stay and enjoy a proper Southern feast full of Kentucky favorites.

This folks, is what bread heaven looks like.

And you'll find it in Grand Rivers, Kentucky, at Patti's 1880 Settlement, one of the most beloved Southern restaurants in the Bluegrass State.

What is this beautiful bread masterpiece, and how did it originate?

As the story goes, one night as Miss Patti lay in bed, the image of bread in a flower pot came to her. The dream did not give directions or come with baking instructions, but Patti got to work, creating and modifying her recipe during the long winter months while the restaurant was closed. And then, voila! Patti's Flower Pot Bread was born.

All we know is that we are all thankful that she did not give up. Flower pot bread is a legendary dish at this longstanding Kentucky restaurant.

(And with homemade strawberry butter? Is this real life?!)

Day-old flower pot bread? (As if there's ever much left...) The chefs at Patti's cube, season, and bake it to crispy, crouton-y perfection.

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. And when a baker dreams of flower pots, well, you make flower pot bread.

But of course!

Come for the bread, stay for the, well, everything else. Have you tried the flower pot bread from this Kentucky restaurant? It really does belong on your Kentucky dining bucket list!
