I have always wanted to write a headline like that. Despite the impending snowpacalypse (I am still waiting for it…), today was the media preview day for the Cincinnati Reds’ food, one of my favorite treats each year.

A couple of years ago at the first FoodBuzz Blogger conference in San Francisco, the final night was hosted by Outstanding in the Field.

The opening [...] . . . → Read More: wine me, dine me: Win 2 Tickets to Art of Food! I am going to jump out on a limb here and say it: Ryan Santos is one of the most interesting folks in the Cincinnati food community today. He uses hyper-local ingredients, including items he’s foraged out of his Prospect Hill back yard. His dinners are themed, but not obnoxiously so– more like a concept [...] . . . → Read More: wine me, dine me: Please to Collaborate with Carriage House Farms Ah yes, it’s that time of year again… my favorite time of year, actually, when the Cincinnati Magazine Top 10 Restaurant list comes out.

If you want to try one, head to any Busken store, UDF location or Remke-Bigg’s to try one for free on Valentine’s Day, February 14th.

He asked me where I was from (Latitude is in the Columbus Renaissance) and I said Cincinnati. “Oh,” he said, “Our chef is going there! Let me ask him which restaurant he’s going to.” That chef is [...] . . . → Read More: wine me, dine me: New Chefs for Enoteca Emilia, The Palace When I heard about this, I wished I weren’t on a work trip.

I drank a lot of it. Without going into the gory details, I was on a 7-day cruise in Hawaii. The food was unpalatable, the surroundings insanely beautiful, and I was on the cruise with my soon-to-be-ex and my parents. My ex and I [...] . . . → Read More: wine me, dine me: New Things: Kona Brewing, eat well cafe Whenever someone tells me that Cincinnati’s dining scene is nonexistent, I want to hit them. Look, we don’t have the population density of NY or Chicago or LA, so we’re not going to have that same kind of restaurant density, either. What we do have? Great purveyors, easy access to farmers, and a ton of [...] . . . → Read More: wine me, dine me: Cincinnati’s Ahead of the Curve I love it when a book proves me wrong. I’m a huge Ramit Sethi fan.

Donna Covrett reminded me, a few days ago, of a book that’s been on my Kindle (okay, fine, Kindle App…) for a while now: What We Eat When We Eat Alone: Stories and 100 Recipes by Deborah Madison. In it, she surveys people from all different walks of life about what they eat when they only [...] . . . → Read More: wine me, dine me: What do you eat when you’re alone? I love it when my tipsters send me good stuff. About a week ago, I heard from a friend: “Jose Salazar is leaving The Palace to work for a local restauranteur who needs more time out of the kitchen. It’ll be a lot closer to you.” I pressed for details. None. Could I guess? Yes, [...] . . . → Read More: wine me, dine me: Jose Salazar to Abigail Street The lovely folks at Ensemble Theater asked me to write a dining guide to Over-the-Rhine to help their patrons find a good place for a bite or a sip before or after a show.

There is a swath of development around the city’s restaurant scene, with several new places opening in the next few months. Where should you be heading?
