March 23, 2011

Food + Thought happens tomorrow– and there are still a few tickets availalble. Cincinnati Magazine did a great profile on local purveyors– everything from pork to kombucha– and they’re being featured at this free event.  If you can’t make it tomorrow– try again on April 14th.  They’ve added a third event due to the popularity [...]

Giveaway + Discount: Fully Committed, March 25-April 2

March 23, 2011

Disclosure: I’m not only on the board of Falcon Theater, I’m their director of social media and publicity.  I haven’t talked as much about the theater here as of late, but this one’s a perfect match to you, my readers. Swear. So, we don’t really have the same kinds of restaurants in Cincinnati as there [...]

Review: Habit’s Cafe

March 21, 2011

Habit’s is an Oakley standby. They’re known for bar food, burgers, and their convenient location before and after events at the 20th Century Theater, or just as a neighborhood hangout. For me, my exposure to Habits came a bit later in life, as I’ve never actually lived in the Hyde Park/Oakley area (The Better Half [...]

March 18, 2011

Ah, spring is here. I’ve thrown the windows open, I have daffodils on my mantel, and my chives are busting out all over. Must be spring! So here are five things I’m looking forward to doing this Spring: 1. Baseball, particularly with all of the new stuff going on at the Banks. I haven’t heard [...]

Luck of the Irish

March 17, 2011

I’m not Irish. I don’t do much for St. Patrick’s Day. No kegs and eggs for me. No green beer (because any beer I want to drink would look funny green). Maybe a pint of Guinness tonight (I have a bottle in my fridge), but I suppose I have no Irish spirit. That’s not true– [...]

Recipe: Pad Thai

March 15, 2011

I can become very focused when it comes to perfecting a recipe. The Better Half will attest that it’s often that I’ll make the same thing several times in one week to get it just right. And yes, dear reader, I do cook– and I enjoy it. I’d been thinking about pad thai for a [...]

Review: Orchids at the Palm Court

March 14, 2011

Sometimes, you just have to let a chef do what a chef does best. This will not be a typical wmdm review: no pictures. I might even flub up what a few of the courses were. Sometimes, you just have to enjoy the experience as you’re in it. This is one of those cases. The [...]

Waterfront Under Water

March 14, 2011

Well, kind of. I’m sure you’ve all read the news about the Waterfront breaking from (most) of its moorings and making a run for it on the swollen Ohio. Its cargo included lots of dry-aged steaks, a band, and Cris Collinsworth. I know from talking with the GM of the Waterfront in the past that [...]
