Cirque du Yelp October 1

September 30, 2011

Tomorrow, the circus is coming to town– sort of. Cirque du Yelp will invade the Carnegie in Covington from 8 until 10 PM. It sounds like a fun event for those of us who are food oriented: the list of vendors is pretty impressive. To whit: Donna’s Gourmet Cookies (http://www.yelp.com/bi…) PhroZen (http://www.yelp.com/bi…) Sugar Cupcakery (http://www.yelp.com/bi…) [...]

Run Off Some Calories: Junior League Jog 5K

September 27, 2011

Full disclosure: I’m a member of the Junior League, so please excuse this plug. The Junior League supports a lot of causes I believe in– Kids in the Kitchen, for example, which teaches kids good eating habits– and this is a great fundraiser for their efforts! The Junior League of Cincinnati will host its 2nd [...]

Review: FB’s QBG

September 27, 2011

Bar food. What image does that conjure for you? For me, I think things like wings, onion rings, chicken fingers, potato skins– stuff that has recently popped out of a deep fryer and is only tasty because it’s fried. It’s usually a second thought– something to absorb the alcohol you’ve consumed, or to accompany the [...]

Review: Queen City Cookies’ Schnecken

September 26, 2011

I’m Julie, and I’m a schneck-a-holic. Buttery, warm, cinnamony slices of baked goodness? Sign me up. I’ve tried most every kind of schnecken in town: Servatii and Busken (both are very moist, but taste pretty processed), Graeter’s (better!), Virgil’s (the most homemade tasting of the bunch) and now Queen City Cookies’ version. If you’re not [...]

Review: Mecklenberg Gardens & Oktoberfest To-Dos

September 16, 2011

Mecklenberg Gardens, one of the oldest Cincinnati restaurants, is a perfect alternative to Oktoberfest. Now, don’t get me wrong– I’m not suggesting you skip Oktoberfest– but sometimes, you want something a little German, a little quieter, and maybe something with more German than American influence. This is where you should go to get your German [...]

Response from 3CDC about Food on the Square

September 15, 2011

I just heard from 3CDC about the food tents at Fountain Square. Thought the tents are going away, 3CDC is looking towards more partnerships with the City and food trucks in the future. The Strauss and Troy market on Tuesdays will not go away, and food and beverages will not go away entirely– they will [...]

No Food on Fountain Square?

September 15, 2011

Polly Campbell is reporting that food will be removed from Fountain Square starting at the end of September (this was originally reported over at Eggplant to Go). Personally, I love the vibrancy that having food and beverage vendor on the square lends to the square (remember how awesome the Square was pre-renovation and pre food [...]

Review: Blue Oven Bakery

September 12, 2011

The Better Half can’t let a Saturday morning go by without a waffle from Taste of Belgium, so he’ll often trek out long before I get up (I like to sleep in, what can I say?) to grab a waffle and some produce from Findlay Market. One day, he came home and asked, “Do you [...]
