Kentucky Derby winner California Chrome has nothing on Billy O's Restaurant & Saloon mixologist Kerri Bacon, winner of today's Woodford Reserve Derby Day Bourbon Challenge involving five local barkeeps. (She also took the top prize for her hat.) Her drink -- the New Fashion, made with Earl's Gone Wild jalapeno jam, among other things -- might become a regular thing at Billy O's, where the contest also took place.
