Savvy Shopper

SARAH ENLOW: HELLO, KENTUCKY. I’M SARAH ENLOW, YOUR SAVVY SHOPPER, AT THE FAYETTE MALL. TODAY, WE’RE HERE IN THE FAYETTE MALL FOOD COURT CHECKING OUT THE NEWEST RESTAURANT HERE, LYLES BBQ. AND I HAVE THE OWNER, JENNIFER LYLES, HERE WITH US. AND JENNIFER, TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR LOCALLY-OWNED BUSINESS.
JENNIFER LYLES: WE STARTED ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO AS A FOOD TENT, OPENED UP IN NICHOLASVILLE ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF INTO THAT AND THEN MOVED OVER PERMANENTLY TO OUR CLAYS MILLS LOCATION, AND THEN FOUND THIS LOCATION AND STARTED THE CONVERSATION. AND WHAT BETTER WAY TO MAKE FAYETTE MALL MORE LOCAL THAN PUTTING A LOCALLY-OWNED BUSINESS IN IT.
SARAH ENLOW: YOU HAVE SO MANY DELICIOUS MENU OPTIONS HERE. TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE FOOD ITEMS THAT YOU HAVE HERE AT THIS LOCATION.
JENNIFER LYLES: WELL THIS LOCATION, WE CONSIDER IT A LYLES BBQ EXPRESS. WE CAN’T HAVE OUR FULL MENU THAT WE HAVE AT OUR STORE, WE JUST DON’T HAVE THE STAFF AND THE SPACE, BUT WE DO HAVE SOME OF OUR MOST POPULAR DISHES HERE.
SARAH ENLOW: JENNIFER, TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE.
JENNIFER LYLES: WE HAVE GOT OUR LOADED POTATO. IT’S ABOUT A 3/4 POUND POTATO. IT IS A MEAL IN AND OF ITSELF. YOU CAN PUT ANY OF OUR THREE MEATS ON THERE, WE ALWAYS HAVE OUR PULLED PORK, OUR CHICKEN, AND OUR BRISKET ON THE MENU. IT IS TOPPED WITH OUR HOUSE-MADE CHEESE SAUCE AND SOUR CREAM, SHREDDED CHEESE AND SCALLIONS, AND THEN, OF COURSE, OUR ORIGINAL BBQ SAUCE. IT’S A LITTLE SWEET AND SPICY, SO IT’S GOOD FOR THE MASSES.
AND THEN WE HAVE OUR NACHOS, AGAIN CAN BE TOPPED WITH ANY THREE OF OUR MEATS. IT ALSO INCLUDES OUR HOUSE-MADE CHEESE SAUCE, OUR SWEET AND SAVORY BAKED BEANS, AND THEN SOME SOUR CREAM AND SHREDDED CHEESE ALSO. AND THEN OUR SANDWICHES, YOU CAN GET ANY OF OUR THREE MEATS AGAIN. IT ALSO HAS TWO SIDES WITH THAT, WE HAVE OUR MAC AND CHEESE, WHICH IS THE MOST POPULAR SIDE THAT WE HAVE, OUR SLAW HAS GRANNY SMITH APPLES IN THEM, WHICH IS A NEW LITTLE TWIST THAT PEOPLE AREN’T USED TO, AND THEN WE HAVE OUR POTATO SALAD AND OUR BAKED BEANS AT ALL TIMES.
SARAH ENLOW: AND YOU ALSO HAVE A SALAD HERE AS WELL TOO, RIGHT?
JENNIFER LYLES: WE DO AND IT’S ON THE HEALTHIER SIDE, IT’S NOT YOUR AVERAGE ICEBERG LETTUCE. IT IS A SPRING MIX, SO IT’S GOT ALL THAT GOOD STUFF IN THERE FOR YOU.
SARAH ENLOW: WELL, EATING HEALTHY AND BBQ, WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR? IF YOU LIKE EATING LOCAL AND YOU LOVE BBQ, STOP BY AND VISIT LYLES BBQ HERE IN THE FAYETTE MALL FOOD COURT. AND JOIN ME HERE EVERY TUESDAY FOR MORE SAVVY SHOPPER TIPS. I’M SARAH ENLOW FOR ABC 36.
