I finally found a list of great places at Cincinnati. Maybe I’ll go to this places one after another someday.

By the way, Which is the best place here?

You have the wrong phone number for Tucker’s. It is 513.721.7123 — not that I ever call it, but you can often find me there.

Fun list!
How about goetta? My fave = Eckerlins
Honey – I had another disappointing meal there. I find it just so heavy-handed, even the cocktails.
My fave BBQ = BBQ Revue! NOM-NOM-NOM!
My fave b-fast = not telling
Fave Gluten Free Treats = MINE – will push into local coffee shops (Sidewinders & Brutopia) in September after my return from a glorious month in Greece.

I just ran into travis at the North Market in Columbus. He now works in a tapas restaurant in the German Village, called Barcelona.

Diner food, yes. Diner atmosphere– not as much. I found the crowd to be a little pretentious for my liking; but as always, ymmv.

Re: Bootsy’s– I don’t find it tacky, I find it ostentatious. And I like it wayyy better than Nada.

Jean-Robert didn’t disappear; he’s very visibly on staff at MCI, so he didn’t count (in my mind) as “disappearing).

The other stuff, I’ll have to try.

And as far as clarifying the “pretentious” part– it’s The Echo. I like the Summit a lot.

Favorite Place to See and Be Seen: Bootsy’s Produced by Jeff Ruby – got to disagree here Jules, way too hip to be hip and tacky.

Favorite Bread: Shadeau Breads – I take it you have not had Blue Oven’s wood baked bread, when you do you I am confident you will change this choice. FYI I post this knowing I am at the risk of never again being able to get up early enough to get a loaf, ya hear that Mark, bake more.

Favorite Pizza: Newport Pizza Company’s Barbecue Chicken or Zeus – I have to try Newport Pizza, until then, again I assume you have never had Ramundos.

Favorite Place to Buy Wine: Liquor Direct – I agree, Party Source has a huge selection but spotty help, big is not always best. Liquor Direct has surpassed Cork, whose assistance, overall knowledge and food pairing expertise has gone downhill. Alfonse IS our wine bitch.

Favorite Chef That Disappeared: I disagree, that would be Jean-Robert de Cavel, I did run into him at Findlay on Sat so he has not completely disappeared, he seems to be enjoying his time off.

As to Floyds, try it, killer chicken.

As to added categories I would suggest Best cool wine and dine spot – to me that would be Cumin, this is very likely the best balance of killer food, great bar, and hip crowd in town. Always breaks my wallet but always a great experience, Alex and Yajan do a fantastic job.

julie “I didn’t forget it; it’s just not my favorite. Far too pretentious and not my scene.” Can you clarify, I am confused, you think either the Echo or the Summit is too pretentious?

joel “We need something at La Normandie ASAP–that place was fantastic!” I agree totally.
