Brooking’s Restaurant at 504 East Euclid Avenue, near the intersection of Woodland Avenue on November 7, 1982. G.E. “Ed” Brooking opened the restaurant, near UK’s campus, in 1938. It became famous for chili, which Brooking began serving in 1945. Kentucky basketball coach Adolph Rupp called it the best chili in Lexington and was a frequent customer. Brooking died in 1982, and his son Harold ran the restaurant until it served its last bowl of chili on June 1, 1991. It is now a hookah lounge called Off Tha Hookah. Photo by David Perry | Staff
