Taste of Cincinnati Chat on Friday!
I LOVE Taste of Cincinnati. I really do. Since I’m downtown to begin with, we stroll to Taste a couple of times during the long weekend– it’s like an open-air diner for us. We always try a bunch of different dishes, and I’ll be reporting back throughout...

Hot Head
The first question: Do we really need another quick-service, built-to-order burrito concept? There’s Chipotle and Currito and Qdoba and Burrito Joe’s, and Moe’s. I guess that’s still way less joints than there are burger restaurants. Burritos must be...

Week 134: A Court St. Duel (Taco Azul vs. Avril-Bleh) plus a trip to Bell’s Brewery (Kalamazoo, MI)
Hi everybody– busy week this week, at least for me! We were out and about quite a bit, although it was thankfully for fun and interesting things. As a part of it, I had a few good experiences in the city… and one awesome one out. In particular, I’ll write...

Review: It’s Just Crepes
I actually had someone angry with me once because I said that It’s Just Crepes wasn’t my favorite. It’s okay– we’re good now– but the reason I wasn’t big into it is because when I think of crepes, I think of delicate crepes filled with simple ingredients:...

Honey’s flavor-intense specials give it high-quality bistro feel
DINING REVIEW Folk wisdom has it that you can never step into the same river twice. It could also be said that you can never really step into the same restaurant twice. The last time I ate at Northside’s Honey, in 2009, it was a small place with a creative...

Sighting: Turophilia
As I walked to the Yelp party at Soho Sushi, I spotted a gleaming Airstream trailer in the parking lot across from Jean-Robert’s table. I should have taken a picture in bright sunlight, but instead I walked by after dark and grabbed this shot. Even in...

Review: Sophia’s Place, Albuquerque
I was in Albuquerque during one of my epic trips this spring– you see, Spring is when we publishing folks rack up the mileage (airline and car) and call on accounts if necessary. I was originally scheduled to visit a school in ABQ, but that got switched...

Top Chefs Schtick It
There's no business like show business. Top Chef: The Tour parked its 18-wheeler in Cincinnati last weekend for eight shows over two days. As evidenced by the hundreds of people that lined up for tickets and willing to stand in a persistent rain to hear...

Skinny bagels
This amuses me: Bruegger’s has a new skinny bagel option that’s 100 calories less than the usual bagel. How do they do it? Not through some new recipe that cuts the carbs and calories or reformulates the sugar. No, they just cut the top and bottom off...
