What is City Editor Jeff excited about this season? “The debut of head coach Bev Yanez. As a player, she was an NWSL MVP Finalist and has respect from around the league,” he said. “Now, she’s embarking on a new journey as a first-time head coach. It will be exciting to see if she can bring fresh ideas to the team and push them into the playoffs for the first time in team history.”

    Today is National Flapjack Day, so there’s no better time to grab a stack — or two. We’ve flipped through some of the top Yelp-ranked pancake hubs in Louisville to point you in right direction.

    Breakfast A.F. | No. 1 on Yelp
    4.8 stars
    This Germantown restaurant is one of LOU’s newest breakfast spots. You can always get a classic buttermilk stack or a cornmeal pancake, but Breakfast A.F. also features rotating seasonal options — right now it’s caramel and sea salt.

    Con Huevos
    4.6 stars
    Though they offer a wide selection of savory breakfast options, Con Huevos also has some sweet treats. Their tres leches syrup puts a new spin on a classic short stack.

    Wild Eggs
    4.3 stars
    The Big Stack covers your basic buttermilk needs, but also check out the Strawberry Tall Cakes for a fruitier twist.

    Of course, as LOUtoday reader Evan B. pointed out, sometimes the absolute best pancakes come from grandma’s house.
    The Buy

    The Buy 3.07.24 (Affiliate + Six & Main)
    Your favorite pair of sneakers from Nordstrom Rack’s spring sneaker edit. We’re loving the prices on pairs from Cole Haan and Lacoste.

    From the editor
    One of the best pancakes I’ve ever had was at The Silver Dollar. It had just the perfect amount of cinnamon, I can’t recommend it enough, especially paired with their chilaquiles.
