Hooligan is a neo-Midwestern bistro rooted in Great Lakes ingredients and guided by classical French technique—an approach Chef Christian Hunter defines as Third Coast Contemporary. High brow meets low brow in a relaxed, à la carte space where fine-dining technique is paired with genuine Kentucky hospitality.
