Chili capital, eh?
Did you see this story? I never would have thought Cincinnati was the "chilil capital" before I moved here three years ago. Not sure I would think of it that way today. "Unusual chili capital" perhaps... But, then again, I can't think of any other food for which Cincinnati is known.The story makes me want to get in the car or hop a plane and do some foodie traveling. I've had a hankering to go the Gilroy Garlic Festival for a long time. Maybe this is the year....Have you done foodie traveling? Planning to do some this year?

Post a Comment*goetta
double decker sandwiches
Goetta. Of course. How could I forget? I'll take a couple patties. Extra smooshed and crispy, please...
What else? How about the cheese crowns at Graeter's?
Lesser known Cinti-specific food items
-Doscher's French Chew
-Ice cream/ice ball combos (@ Schneider's in Bellevue in particular)
-Papa's Cream Eggs
Papa's Cream Eggs are divine! I was out of town the week before Easter and when I would see the Easter candy displays with no Papa's it was an awful feeling. I went to the store and bought a couple dozen as soon as I returned.
I think everytime I travel their's a culinary adventure involved, even if it's just the RoadFood.com recommended stop on a road trip. Lately, poutine in Montreal, tacos de pescado in Ensenada, durian and dim sum in Vancouver. Next: Bouchon in Vegas.
I just ate at Bouchon in Vegas!!! It was good. But the meal that blew me away there was Daniel Boulud's Brasserie at Wynn.
UNBELIEVABLE.
Oh, and if you're looking for a great local version of poutine, check out the Pleasant Ridge Cafe.
You mean the chili-gravy fries?
More likely the fries with cheese and gravey that they advertise proudly on the side of the building - or at least they did when I was last by there...also seen in lower left of the pic on the main page of their website: [a href="http://www.pleasantridgechili.com"]link[/a]
