Potter moved to Kentucky to work at 610 Magnolia with Edward Lee and Kevin Ashworth. Potter was promoted to executive chef in 2019 and now leads the restaurant’s kitchen and oversees the menu. When he’s not working, he enjoys playing sports and spending time with his dog, Cooper.

Only marketing language foundNot ranked — sourcing language, nothing specific enough to scoreScored as of Sep 7, 2026

We hold 113 venues in Louisville, KY and could score 15 of them. This one is not among them, so it has no position — not a low one.

There is no score breakdown to show: nothing we read about this venue earned points in any of the four categories, so a bar chart of zeroes would look like a verdict on the kitchen rather than on what it publishes. What we did read is below.

v1.7.4 0.0/100 = sourcing 0.0/50 (named-farm 0 distinct, named-region 0 distinct, attribute 0 distinct, buzzword 0 distinct) + farm partners 0.0/20 (none scored) + registry 0.0/12 (none listed) + press 0.0/18 (capped at 35% of the 0.0-point evidence base).

Buzzwords only. This venue uses sourcing language ("farm-fresh", "locally sourced") but names no farms, regions, or verifiable attributes.
