Week 157: Postscript
Well, I couldn’t resist. My annual trip back to Ann Arbor for recruiting put me face-to-face with where it started. So spare me the indulgence: 2008 (Crappy BlackBerry): 2009 (iPhone 3GS): 2010 (iPhone 4): And our parting shot, this time with a new iPhone...

Week 150: Happy Endings
I’ll begin with the end: This will be the last planned post and update for www.whatiatethisweek.com. There, I said it. It’s real now! When I started this site, nearly three years ago now, my life was in a very, very different place. Reeling from a divorce...

Week 149: Nostalgic Favorites (Part 1)
Hi guys– Fall puts me in a nostalgic mood, it’s true. It makes me think of times gone by, simple and good times. So I thought this week, I’d stop by some sentimental favorites and check in and see how they are doing. The good news is that these spots...

Week 148: Cincinnati’s most talked about recent opening (A Tavola) and Korean at Findlay (Pho Lang Thang)
Will this heat ever stop? So last night, a friend and I ventured out to that polarizing neighborhood, the Gateway Quarter in Over the Rhine, to give a try to A Tavola, the pizzeria & bar that seems to be taking what there is of Cincinnati’s dining scene...

Week 147: Boston’s Restaurant Week = Incredible
Hi gang–isn’t this the most amazing time of year, when you can just tell that early autumn is so tantalizingly close… in moments, you can catch nature just starting to soften her blow, beginning to apologize for the extreme heat she’s dished our way in...

Week 146: Pillows of Heaven @ Nicola’s
I know I’ve reviewed Nicola’s before, and it’s not exactly cutting edge food review material, but every time I go there, it’s the most amazing and memorable experience! I’ve raved before about the world’s best bread basket, and there are several posts...

Week 145: Blinker’s Tavern (Covington)
Sometimes, even modest amounts of anticipation are enough to disappoint. Nestled on Greenup St., in the old Chalk location, Blinkers Tavern is the home of a casual (but not sports-bar casual) restaurant serving slightly upscale bar food, desiring to be...

Weeks 142-144: Out to Lunch (and Dinner!)
It occurs to me that although I’ve taken several great vacations over the course of this little journal, I’ve never taken a vacation from it… after >140 consecutive weeks. That seems like erratic behavior. And an occasion came to correct that behavior–...

Week 141: Pig Gigs: SmoQ & The Skinny Pig
It may be the DOG days of summer, but this week’s features are very piggy. SmoQ: Truth in Advertising It’s taken me entirely too long to get myself up to SmoQ. Yes, it’s out of the way from where I live–Springdale/Route 4 are only relevant to me during...

Week 140: Checking in and Checking Out at Trio
One of the things about this little web experiment that is interesting is that it becomes very hard to justify “re-visiting” places you’re curious about when there are so many other new and interesting places to check out. All too often, I find myself...
