Welcome to Hangover Power Hour. Starting at 3 p.m. EST, all Eater sites are focusing for an hour on this vicious plight of the overserved. Thankfully a city that likes to drink as much as Louisville does has some good options to cure its after effects. Of course, should none of these venues do you right, there's always meth (you're on your own to find it though).
Ch-ch-ch-changes
La Coop: Bistro à Vins promoted Aaron Wilson to sommelier. Previously the Toledo, Ohio native was a server's assistant. Co-owner Brett Davis had been filling the role of sommelier. [Press release]
Chicago Rising Star Bryce Caron Guests at 610 Magnolia
610 Magnolia is showcasing two tasting menus from Chicago's Bryce Caron—one of Food and Wine Magazine's best new pastry chefs of 2012 and Time Out Chicago's break-out chefs of the year—this week. Saturday's collaboration with 610 Magnolia chef de cuisine Nick Sullivan, a 10-course southern degustation (a big word for tasting), is sold out. But seats are still available for Wednesday's Thursday's dinner in the Wine Studio ($65, with wine parings for an extra $60). Billed as a palindrome degustation, "the six-course tasting menu will mirror itself in the course of the meal: key ingredients in the first three savory courses will be reflected in three dessert courses."
Power-up
On Dec. 3, St. Charles Exchange is launching a "power lunch" concept that will allow customers to order based on how long they want can afford to be away from their desks: 30 minutes ($15) or 45 ($20). The full, recently reworked, menu still will be available. [Business First]
Hitting the Board
The Seelback Hilton's Oakroom earned AAA Five Diamond Award for Excellence again in 2014. Restaurant, gold-hatted, high-bouncing restaurant, I must have you! (Or something like that.) [Business First]

Warped pool tables, doorless bathroom stalls, cheap booze, low-hanging clouds of smoke (Southern Indiana only), a well-worn juke box, sticky floors and no windows—in researching this piece, a new criterion for a Louisville bar to be called a dive became apparent: having its official online presence limited to a MySpace page.
Coming Attractions
Danville, Ky.-based craft brewery Beer Engine plans to open a restaurant at the former location of Zeppelin Café in mid 2013, according to Insider Louisville. See, Danville can supply Louisville with more than just smart but quirky underemployed Centre College grads. [Insider Louisville]
