It’s good to hear Arloi Dee won for best dish in Cincinnati. The Lumsums are family friends and gave me my first job.

I am SO GLAD they moved Taste back to fifth street. For a while they had it on Central Parkway and it felt like eating in a garbage strewn parking lot. It was really horrid.
I might actually venture back now that they are flanking Fountain Square again!

Aw, Lesley! I would sort of like for it to be on Central– for purely selfish reasons :)
