Another blog added to the blogroll… $5 Dinners!

May 31, 2009

By far, the most successful food blogger in the Cincinnati area is the pretty darn awesome Erin, who runs $5 Dinners. She was recently on Rachael Ray, and is working on a cookbook. Her twist? Healthy meals for a family for less than $5. Check her out– it’s not dining, but we here at wine [...]

Review and Update: Tom’s Pot Pies

May 29, 2009

I talked to Tom of Tom’s Pot Pies yesterday, and he gave me the scoop on his store and the future of the pies. Tom is no longer renting the space on Vine Street, and is now making his pies in a space at Longworth Hall. Though he no longer offers walk-in service, he will [...]

Review: Take The Cake

May 28, 2009

Take the Cake opened its new location in Northside quite recently. Formerly on Main Street, and then a little further down Hamilton, Take the Cake is known for– what else– cakes. With the opening of the new location, Doug Faulkner and Melissa Mileto are expanding their business into a “chalkboard”-style cafe that features house-made lunches [...]

Cooking with Caitlin: Coming to Fountain Square (or a TV near you).

May 27, 2009

Cooking with Caitlin, the website with the perky, yet classically-trained young female chef (named Caitlin, of course!) is moving… to TV! How cool is that? Fountain Square will be taken over at noon tomorrow for the filming of the first episode of Cooking with Caitlin, which will be available on Time Warner On Demand and [...]

Taste Overview

May 26, 2009

You know, I wasn’t into Taste this year– I’m super busy, between work and theater (same with Terry) and just wasn’t feeling it. Fortunately, The Chocolate Horse and 5chw4r7z dragged me out and I had a good time. Things I noticed: more corporate sponsorship, but fewer national chains. I consider this a major win for [...]

Review: Arloi Dee (Best Damn Dish!)

May 26, 2009

Arloi Dee recently won the Best in Taste award for their chicken lettuce wraps. Since I work around the corner, I had to try them– and, of course, dragged a coworker with me. It’s a favorite Thai stop for me– a little more expensive than Chan’s Asian Wok, but nice for a “business” lunch. Andy [...]

Mini-Review: Chick-Fil-A

May 23, 2009

OK, I know, I know, I don’t review chains. But this one I have nearly a personal interest in. Nearly. Outside my office, on Mason-Montgomery Road, I’ve watched the old Amor de Brasil be torn down and the lot rebuilt over the past few months. It’s actually been kind of cool to watch the daily [...]

Review: Slims Northside

May 22, 2009

It’s really hard to write a “review” of Slim’s because every meal is different. Though the food always has a distinct Latin American flair, you will never eat the same meal there twice. The menu is fresh, seasonal, and grown– quite literally– around the corner, in one of the very first “kitchen gardens” in Northside [...]
