Can you source local Kentucky produce and specialities?

Yes. We draw on suppliers across Hardin County and the broader Bluegrass region, as well as wholesale and artisan markets in Louisville, approximately 56 kilometres away. Seasonal availability shapes what we recommend, and we will always be transparent about what is genuinely fresh.

Which handlers or FBOs do you work with at EKX?

We deliver to whichever handler is managing your aircraft. Simply confirm the handler name and ramp location when you place your order and we will coordinate directly with them on your behalf.

What aircraft types can you cater at this airport?

The runway at KEKX is best suited to light jets and turboprops. Our packaging and delivery formats are designed accordingly — compact, stackable, and straightforward to load without specialised ground equipment.

Do you offer kosher meals for flights from Elizabethtown?

Kosher meals are available with a minimum of 24 hours' notice. Please indicate this requirement at the time of ordering so we can source from a certified supplier and maintain the appropriate cold-chain handling.

Can you cater crew meals separately from passenger meals?

Absolutely. Crew meals are prepared and packaged separately, labelled clearly, and priced independently of the passenger menu. Many crews operating through KEKX request heartier, lower-complexity options — something we factor into our standard crew meal range.

What is your lead time for a full passenger menu at Elizabethtown?

For most orders, 12 hours is sufficient. Complex or large passenger counts benefit from 24 hours. Kosher, specialist dietary, or orders requiring produce from Louisville markets should allow a full 24 hours to ensure quality and logistics are properly aligned.

Private jet catering menu for Elizabethtown

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Elizabethtown departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenUnited States

Morning

Kentucky Country Ham & Buttermilk Biscuit

Thin-sliced aged country ham folded into a warm, flaky buttermilk biscuit, finished with a touch of whole-grain mustard. A quiet nod to the region's curing tradition, portioned for cabin service.

To start

Bluegrass Charcuterie Board

A composed selection of Kentucky-cured meats, local artisan cheeses, dark rye crackers, and house-pickled vegetables. Sourced from Hardin County and Louisville suppliers, built to travel well at altitude.

Hot main

Slow-Smoked Pork Shoulder with Bourbon Jus

Pulled pork shoulder finished with a reduction of small-batch Kentucky bourbon and apple cider vinegar, served alongside cast-iron-style skillet cornbread and braised greens.

Cold main

Ohio Valley Seasonal Vegetable Plate

A cold arrangement of whatever the Valley's growers are delivering this week — roasted, raw, and pickled preparations balanced with a white bean purée and a tarragon vinaigrette.

To finish

Bourbon Pecan Tart

A short-crust tart filled with dark corn syrup, toasted Hardin County pecans, and a measured pour of straight bourbon. Rich without excess, and sturdy enough for a smooth cabin service.

Pâtisserie

Brown Butter Cornmeal Madeleine

A Southern inflection on a French classic — madeleines baked with stone-ground yellow cornmeal and finished with a brush of brown butter. Served at room temperature, paired well with coffee.

Inflight catering in Elizabethtown

Elizabethtown sits in the heart of Kentucky's Hardin County, a landscape shaped by bourbon country, horse farms, and a quietly confident regional food culture. That culture informs everything we source: aged Kentucky country ham, small-batch bourbons from distilleries within easy reach, and produce drawn from the farms that define this corner of the Bluegrass State. Louisville lies roughly 56 kilometres north, and that proximity gives us practical reach into one of the South's most serious food cities — its celebrated chef community, its specialist suppliers, and its wholesale markets. Provisions sourced there can be on your aircraft the same morning, timed precisely to your departure window.

Regional Catering Menu · Elizabethtown

Local sourcing for EKX

Kentucky's culinary identity is anything but provincial. Slow-smoked pork, cast-iron cornbread, and the region's canonical hot browns translate elegantly to cabin service when handled with restraint — familiar enough to feel considered, refined enough to suit a premium galley. We also build boards around the state's exceptional charcuterie tradition, pairing cured meats with local artisan cheeses and dark rye crackers that travel well at altitude. For lighter departures, the Ohio River Valley's vegetable growers supply a dependable rotation of seasonal produce. Spring ramps, summer sweet corn, and autumn squash each find their way into cold plates and warm sides that reflect the time of year honestly. Kosher requirements are accommodated with 24 hours' notice; all other menus are built to your lead time and passenger count.
