Embrace an Eclectic Mess

Snack plates offer the perfect opportunity to combine cuisines in fresh new ways. At Honeywood in Lexington, Ky., the Four O’Clock Snack Platter draws inspiration from American country cooking, but also reaches across the ocean to take a page from Turkey. Local specialties like country ham, pillowy buttermilk biscuits and spiced pecans are served alongside briny marinated olives and crispy crackers made from pide, a Turkish flatbread. While the specific ingredients can vary, the dish is always a surprising marriage of contrasting flavors and textures that keeps diners intrigued.
