Re-Review: Five Guys

March 1, 2010

Burgers, burgers, chains, chains.
I’m talking about two chains in one week?  If I am, they’ve got to be good– and small.  I think you know by now you won’t be seeing any Burger King or McDonald’s reviews here (unless, of course, it’s April Fool’s) but a smaller chain like In-n-Out, Penn Station, or Five Guys [...]

Review: Bouchon (Las Vegas, Brunch)

February 26, 2010

A secret:
I’m not really a fan of Las Vegas.
Is that even legal?  Isn’t everyone supposed to love Vegas– the immense city blocks, the constant entertainment, the shopping, the food?  Okay, I’ll give you the food, but to be honest, the rest of the city just sort of rubs me the wrong way.  I have [...]

Christ Hospital + Chefs = Heart Healthy Food.

February 25, 2010

I like to eat well. I also would like to lose a few pounds. Yeah, I know, I should be writing a blog about marathons, not food, right? Wrong!
Christ Hospital has teamed up with 12 pilot restaurants to analyze their menus and put the Christ Hospital Tower next to menu items to [...]

February 25, 2010

Thanks to a Mt. Adams Reader for allowing me to borrow their copy of Cincinnati Magazine– I don’t get many magazines because my old mail carrier liked to rip mine to shreds before they arrived in my mailbox. Mental note: subscribe to magazines again.
Last years’ list, for reference.
2008’s, too.
1. Orchids
2. Boca
3. Daveed’s

Arnold’s New Lunch Menu

February 24, 2010

Looks like Arnold’s is redoing their lunch menu– at one point, they had a 3.95 lunch menu, and weren’t putting out a product they liked. This time, they’re doing a 4.99 lunch menu, and Ronda Androski promises that it will change seasonally. A sampling:

Spaghetti and meatballs
Irish stew
Burritos
Tacos
Burgers

Burgers come with fries– in all a [...]

Javier’s Closing

February 24, 2010

The Business Courier is reporting that Javier’s, on Walnut Street, is closing on Friday, February 26. They opened for dinner a couple of years ago, but aside from a handful of times, I never actually saw them open for dinner– which would be the only chance I’d have to try them. The one [...]

Mini-Review: Nicola’s

February 24, 2010

I posted a while back about Nicola’s Monday Night Neighborhood special, which Terry and I partake in more often than our waistlines would like, where we get their famous bolognese (seen also as the sauce for the lasagna at Via Vite).  The last time we were at Nicola’s, we decided to partake in dessert [...]

Experience: The Buena Vista, San Francisco

February 23, 2010

Ah, the Buena Vista, the “home of Irish coffee” in the U.S.  It’s on a hill overlooking Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, and they really do have great Irish coffee.  You can read the story here, but essentially two guys who had had Irish coffee at the Shannon Airport in Ireland wanted to recreate what [...]
