Mini Review: Pizza Bomba

April 9, 2012

I finally got a taste of Pizza Bomba, what I’ve been referring to as the “next, mythical food truck”– mythical because they were on Twitter, but not actually making pizza for quite a while. Thank goodness they got a few truck issues resolved and are now on the “actual” list and myth no more. What [...]

Opening Day: New Eats at GABP

April 4, 2012

I was very surprised when the Reds invited me to their press event to debut their new dining selections at the ball park. For the past few years, The Better Half and I have been kind of (okay, very) critical of their selections, particularly when compared to other ballparks in small market cities. Last year, [...]

Review: Velvet Smoke

March 28, 2012

Findlay Market isn’t just a place to buy produce and spices and gelato, but also a small business incubator.  That’s why you’ll see small businesses occasionally leave and head to bigger locations, or expand, like Taste of Belgium did.  In speaking with Cheryl Eagleson, the Director of Marketing for the Market (shortly after I ate [...]

Diner en Blanc Coming to Cincinnati This Summer

March 26, 2012

As an unabashed Francophile, I keep up on what is going on in my favorite city– via blogs, friends in Paris, or occasionally coverage in a US publication, like the New York Times. I remembered reading about Diner en Blanc in the Times last year, as they were just about to launch a Diner in [...]

Review: Kreimer’s Bier Haus West

March 23, 2012

Oof. I may still be full from this meal and I ate it a week ago. The Better Half has been obsessed with going to this place ever since he heard Mo Egger talk about it on the radio during a segment with Donna Covrett from Cincinnati Magazine. His personal top ten was featured in [...]

Review: The French Lunch Tray at Jean-Robert’s Table

March 21, 2012

I took a day off a few weeks ago and, finding myself downtown, decided that I needed to eat lunch out. I tweeted that I was doing so, and immediately got two nearly identical responses: “Go try the lunch tray at Jean-Robert’s Table.” Easy enough. The French Lunch Tray is a 4-course, prix fixe menu [...]

This time, they’re giving back to the community and presenting a pretty cool event that highlights some of the smaller non-profits in the Cincinnati area.
