Kentucky, known as the Bluegrass State, is bordered by seven other states and the Ohio, Mississippi and Big Sandy Rivers. Tourism is one driving economic force in the state, with millions of visitors arriving each year to visit historic sites, parks, and other recreational sites. Of course, the Kentucky Derby is a big attraction, too. Thirty-four percent of Kentuckians work in the service sector. In 2004, chefs and head cooks earned an average of $11.87/hour.
Kentucky has a state dish. Burgoo is simply a mix of whatever meats and vegetables are on hand, made extra spicy. Other regional favorites include pulled pork, baked beans, and other fun foods.
