The 2011 Cincinnati Schneck-Off

December 20, 2011

Schnecken, in German, means “snails” and this swirled confection is a holiday treat for many Cincinnatians.  Virginia Bakery’s schnecken has been the gold standard (now owned by Busken), but others have entered the ring.  Which Schnecken is the Best…en?  I took several schnecken from around the city to my office, where a panel of my [...]

Really, Bengals?

December 12, 2011

I love Tina Fey (this is probably no surprise to any of you). I particularly loved the Weekend Update segments where she and Seth Meyers asked about certain topics, “Really?” So, I ask the Bengals organization: Really? I went to the Bengals game yesterday with the sole goal of trying out the food. I’d heard [...]

Review: Taste of Belgium Cafe

December 6, 2011

I love Europe.  Each year, The Better Half and I take our Christmas savings and instead of buying each other gifts, we hop on a plane and fly to some combination of European countries.  Last year, we headed to Brussels and Paris.  This year, we’ll head to London and Paris.  So we’ve eaten at our [...]

November 9, 2011

Review: Eli’s

October 31, 2011

I love it when menus make it easy for me to decide.  One item? I can do that. Eli’s is currently located in a small tent near the Saigon Market side of Findlay Market.  It’s one guy, one griddle, a pork shoulder and a little attitude.  They bill themselves as a life-changing sandwich.  I can buy [...]

Review: Dinastia Latina

October 28, 2011

I have a craving for Brij Mohan about once a week. I actually cash in on that craving about once every other month. The last time I had a craving, on my way up to Ikea on a Saturday evening (my life is glamorous), I decided what I really wanted to do was try the [...]

Review: Rascal’s Deli

October 27, 2011

“I went to this great deli for lunch today. I almost called you to come down here, but then I realized I didn’t want to have to share.” I love my coworkers. Ever since that conversation, my coworker John has been cajoling me to try out Rascal’s Deli in Blue Ash. We’ve spent an inordinate [...]

Taste of the NFL 2011

October 11, 2011

(Guest post by The Better Half) Why do I do this to myself? Every year when the Cincinnati Bengals’ Taste of the NFL rolls around, I make myself a solemn promise: “I, The Better Half, solemnly swear not to stuff my face until I’m beyond miserable. OK, so maybe there will be forty or more [...]

Review: Mr. Hanton’s Dogs

October 5, 2011

Hot dogs are trendy. Trendy enough that we now have several choices for killer dogs. I finally caught up with Mr. Hanton’s during Midpoint Music Festival. They, along with other food trucks, were stationed in the Midpoint Midway, which we wandered through on our way to listen to some music. Mr. Hanton’s menu is simple: [...]
