Derby Day Kitchen

We are not Southern gals, but we do appreciate the rich culture, history, and traditions of that region's cooking. Every year we are invited to a good friend’s house for a Kentucky Derby party. The occasion is low-key, with barely much thought or effort put into the planning. We simply know that we are supposed to be there at the “starting gate” for a cold drink and a little bite to eat. You can make these nearly-effortless mouth-watering sandwiches a day in advance and spend the rest of the time buying napkins for when you eat them and perfecting the mint juleps you’ll be sipping.
