MeeshMeesh Mediterranean was named No. 2 on Yelp’s list of the Best New Restaurants of the South for 2024. Now the award-winning restaurant is teaming up with Rabbit Hole Distillery to host Detroit’s Takoi on its ten year anniversary tour.

Takoi opened as a food truck in 2014, and now operates as a farm-to-table Thai restaurant in Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood serving dishes like Panang curry with grilled pineapple or charred broccoli with pickled chilis.

“I’ve always had a deep love for Louisville,” Chef Brad Greenhill, Takoi’s founder, said. “We’re very excited to bring our vision for modern Thai cuisine alongside the team at MeeshMeesh and Rabbit Hole Distillery for this collaboration.”

The pop-up dinner will take place on Saturday, Nov. 2 at 6 p.m. inside Rabbit Hole Distillery. A $212 ticket gets you:
  • A prix-fixe dinner with offerings from Takoi + MeeshMeesh’s chef and founder Noam Blitzer
  • Beverage pairings from Rabbit Hole’s bourbon collection.
Reservations are open now.

The Jeffersontown Public Works Department + Parks and Recreation Department have assembled the first-ever Jeffersontown Pumpkin House, and it’s exactly what it sounds like.
