Check's Cafe
Germantown · 1101 E Burnett Ave, Louisville, KY
Check's Cafe at 1101 East Burnett Avenue is a corner tavern in Louisville's Germantown–Schnitzelburg area. It started as a tavern in 1935 under Check Sumpter, and Joe Murrow Sr. bought it in 1944. He ran it until he died in 1980. Later the Murrow family bought the building, and John Murrow runs it today. The Southern Foodways Alliance recorded its history in an oral history project.
