Juanita’s For Sale: An Old Louisville institution — Juanita’s Burger Boy — can be yours for the low price of $130,000. We found the listing at Craigslist. Juanita Hargrave is retiring. Let’s hope the buyer continues Juanita’s open arms policy, catering to early birds and late night drunks.

Ralph Loves The Ville- The stylish folks over at Ralph Lauren Magazine took a look at Louisville’s dining scene in their latest issue. With dozens of upscale dining options to choose from, the Philadelphia-based writer chose to highlight 610 Magnolia, Basa, and Proof.  We can’t imagine a negative experience at any one, but it’s too bad the writers couldn’t have made a few more stops. We hear Ralph Lauren himself has advised his models to stay away from the six-course meals over at 610.

Chefs Need Homes Too: Ever dream about how the city’s coolest chefs unwind at home? Velocity visited Jay Denham’s pad near Bowman Field, and got you a vision for that dream. The Park Place on Main executive chef has a garden that rivals his kitchen, complete with healthy grape vines, cherries and apples. Jay- our schedule is always open, so let us know if you want us to stop by for dinner. The mag also visits the homes of a local bartender, architect and rock star.

Napa’s Moving On Up: Napa River Grill is leaving the cozy confines of its DuPont Circle location for newer, flashier surroundings in Westport Village, finally, in a move that’s been on the drawing board for nearly a year.  Napa was opened in 1999 by Michael Grisanti, Simon Fields and JD Rothberg. Fields and Rothberg bought out Grisanti in 2002.  Along with a new menu, the new Napa will feature outdoor dining with fire tables (tables which surround a fire pit) and two bars.The restaurant will be open June 16.

Cool Off at Cumberland: The summer heat and unbearable humidity had us down, so we headed over to Cumberland Brews on Bardstown Road for dinner and a few beers. Try the steak and seafood quesadilla, which comes loaded with steak, shrimp, crabmeat and jack cheese. Wash it down with a couple handcrafted pale ales, or mix it up with a Nitro Porter. Great food, drinks, and interesting people make Cumberland a great choice for a summer night.

Found – Anoosh: Beloved local chef Anoosh Shariat has landed.  After months of local speculation and guesswork, we know now where he’ll be cooking, though we’re still waiting for details, like the name of the new place. It’ll be in Holiday Manor. In March, we found out that Shariat was shopping for locations.

Win Dinner at Palermo: We love the empanadas at Palermo Viejo, and we love winning contests. Take a shot at guessing the local celebrity in the silhouette, and we’ll buy dinner at the Bardstown Road hotspot. No extra charge for the view of the former local Hillary Clinton HQ next door.   Get the details here on Page One.
