The Twig and Leaf diner has been apart of the Bardstown Road community since it opened in 1962. From the landmark neon sign out front emblazoned with its slogan: “Tops in Food,” to its old school diner feel, locals have enjoyed this restaurant for years.
When hard times hit, U of L student Ferhan Ali and U of L graduate Gibin George took the opportunity to save it. Both plan to co-own the restaurant, keeping in place the old-school vibe that keeps locals coming back and bringing the restaurant into the 21st century. Closing for renovations on Sept.
