Judge Tim Philpot

Fighting over who pays the bill Rather like Shaggy and Scooby, Tim Philpot loves to eat. He writes about his favorite dishes and eateries in his autobiographical novel set in Lexington. Kentucky. Rather than praising his wife’s home cooking, he extols his mother’s chicken and appears to have a fondness for sharing burgers with various minors he mentors in the story. He plots imposing “Irretrievably Broken Hearings” with his law school co-conspirators at “Tolly Ho”, near the UK campus.
