The Cooking Channel’s Man’s Greatest Food will tackle who has the greatest breakfasts in the country. Of course, a Louisville restaurant is on that list especially when you reference anything that mentions the “GREATEST”. Can you guess who’s on that list? Host Roger Mooking chose “Superchefs” owned by Darnell “Superchef” Ferguson located at 1702 Bardstown Road right in the heart of the Highlands.
Mooking visited chefs all across the U.S. and went into their kitchens to learn about their top dishes and some of the secrets behind it. The show did visit Superchefs and they ranked the restaurant on their 12 greatest breakfasts list. Mooking was looking for the best combinations of eggs, gravy, breakfast meat and fried dough. You could put a check mark next to each one of those criteria when it comes to Superchefs Louisville.
Ferguson says “What a way to start the year by being placed in this prestigious ranking for breakfast. I won the Thanksgiving challenge in November of last year. It just gives me the confidence that the restaurant caters to any taste bud you may have. Stop by and tryout some of the fantastic items we have on the menu. This is really shaping up to be a great year for myself and Team Superchefs”.
Man’s Greatest Food will air on the Cooking Channel, Tuesday, January 15th at 7:00 pm (EST).
