By now your “Old Kentucky Home” should feel pretty comfortable to you and your family, as we’ve all been quarantined for several weeks due to a pandemic. You’re likely feeling a little restless, maybe bored, and perhaps even a little tired of those living with you. So, what if we could change it up? Pretend you could pick just one quarantine house in Kentucky from the graphic below – which one would you choose?
You have four houses from which to choose. Each quarantine house in Kentucky is home to a famous Kentuckian, an endless supply of an iconic Kentucky food and drink, a political or newsworthy figure, and someone from our world of college basketball.

When choosing which famous person is going to live with you, you have some great options.
Wikipedia/White House/Pete Souza Johnny Depp was born in Kentucky and is sure to entertain during this bizarre time. Billy Ray Cyrus can cure your “Achy Breaky Heart,” Diane Sawyer will surely keep you informed, and George Clooney will provide the laughs (and the good looks).
You have to have some iconic Kentucky foods in your quarantine house, and again the choice is difficult.
Facebook/The Brown Hotel Kentucky Fried Chicken is a classic, but a Kentucky Hot Brown is extra filling. If you have a sweet tooth, consider house #3 for its Bourbon Balls, or enjoy all the comfort food in house #4 with burgoo and BBQ.
You and your celebrity roommate can wash it all down with a popular Kentucky beverage.
Facebook/Kentucky Derby Jim Beam may be your choice if you miss visiting the Bourbon Trail. Or if the local brewery is more your scene, go with the West Sixth Brewing IPA. But then again, you also can’t go wrong with a Mint Julep or a Bourbon Slush.
You’ll have to make up your mind when choosing between the politicians and recent newsmakers in Kentucky.
Wikipedia/Kentucky State Government If you’re a fan of Andy Beshear, Mitch McConnell, or Rand Paul, that may help narrow it down. But that Pike County Bingo Team sure would liven things up.
And a quarantine house in Kentucky wouldn’t be complete without someone from college basketball.

Social distancing may be challenging for those of us who like to be out and about in Kentucky, but that time will come again. In the meantime, choose your own quarantine house in Kentucky, tell us why in the comments, and be sure to share so we can see where most of the Bluegrass will end up.
