Food trucks arrived in Cincinnati only
three years ago, but already a few are expanding into brick-and-mortar

Why would Maker’s
announce that they were reducing the percentage of alcohol in their
bourbon from 45 percent to 42 percent (90 proof to 84 proof), cause an

The Art of Food is in its seventh
year at The Carnegie in Covington, but it wasn’t until last year that I
finally hit the opening night. It really made me regret that I’d missed

tickets are still available.

barely), less sweet and more sour, it really tastes practically exactly the same as regular supermarket yogurt.

Right down the road from Virgil’s Café in
Bellevue is a newly opened (since November) neighborhood burger joint,

vegetarian pub, but one look at the menu made it clear: This restaurant
is much more than that.

0 Comments · Wednesday, January 30, 2013
One of the very first things I had to
learn when I became British-by-marriage was how to brew tea properly. It
was soon apparent that English tea with milk is one of those things you
mess with at your peril.

9 Comments · Wednesday, January 23, 2013
The build-out at Kaze is breathtaking.
