Welcome to season 3! On this episode of MICRO BREAK (Episode 86), I share with you my recent visit to the Jack Fry's restaurant in Louisville, KY.  JACK FRY'S was established in 1933 by Jack Fry and his wife, Flossie. Fry was known as a rambling, gambling kind of guy who loved amateur boxing and the race horses. As a result, Jack Fry's became a sportsman’s hangout, as evidenced by the numerous historic photographs that fill the walls of the current Jack Fry's.
