Get Your Kentucky Derby On Chicago Style

Not everyone can make it to the Kentucky Derby this year, or any year quite frankly.

However you can still participate in all the fun and shenanigans by scouring the city looking for good food and a Mint Julep, if you're so inclined.

This Saturday, May 7 head over to The Southern for Hot Browns, ham biscuits,and chocolate-bourbon pecan pie; Chicago Q serves up Derby pie and deviled eggs; Table 52 will sweeten your heart with Kentucky burgoo and bourbon-pecan pie.

Take that, Kentucky!
