In a sense, Emily Frank is living vicariously through her food truck. C’est Cheese, pronounced “say cheese”
(but it’s OK if you never get it right — few do), is a gourmet grilled
cheese truck. A year in the making but only really a couple weeks
old, C’est Cheese hit Cincinnati’s ground running.
Hello Honey, Bellevue Farmers Market, Restaurant Week
0 Comments · Tuesday, July 31, 2012
Maybe we’ve done
enough for this summer, and it’s time to chillax. But then we’d miss out
on the Farmers Markets, City Flea at the gorgeous new Washington Park
and planning for September and the MidPoint Music Festival. This town is
on a roll, people!
Eat + Drink + Be Mari

The reopening of Maribelle’s could not
come any sooner. I was eager to see the old recipes I once gushed over
with friends as well as what the old tavern would look like juxtaposed
with the cavalier Boca across the street.
Django Western Taco: Screaming Tacos, Silent D’s

For Chef David Bach, Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming film, Django Unchained,
can’t come soon enough. The movie, which opens in December, pays homage
to the same ’60s Spaghetti Western that had inspired Bach and a posse
of established local culinary artists to open the new Northside
restaurant, Django Western Taco.
Braunschweiger: The ’Wurst?
1 Comment · Wednesday, July 25, 2012
“Lost in the Supermarket” has been on
hiatus for a few months. For the column,
I mostly play the “food rube,” searching the aisles of average
neighborhood grocery stores for “everyday” items that strike me (and
maybe you) as “weird” or “gross.” I investigate the food item and taste
it so you don’t have to.

When David and Liz Cook of
Daveed’s at 934 decided this year to try a new concept in Loveland,
Daveed’s Next, the Mount Adams space Daveed’s
had occupied at 934 Hatch St. was not vacant long. Mantra on the Hill
opened in late May, lead by Chef Yajan Upadhyaya, originally chef/owner
of Cumin in Hyde Park.

Some kind of wunderful

When stepping foot inside Wunderbar, the
new German-themed Covington restaurant and watering hole, be prepared
for the Wurst. Their German sausages are the cornerstone for the
four-month-old eatery: wholesome, authentic and in most cases
house-made, freshly ground from locally sourced meats and free of
fillers.

Market Garden in Place for World Choir Games
There are plenty of restaurants downtown, but for the World Choir Games, the city has set up a Market Garden at the corner of Fifth and Race streets to provide additional options that are fast and affordable. It’s a great “Taste of Cincinnati” opportunity — without the crowds and long lines.Eats include local food trucks and Cincinnati’s own Mecklenburg Gardens, A Taste of Julia, sweets from Graeter's and Queen City Cookies (yay!) and more. There are also local gift and souvenir stands. They did a great job selecting vendors for this, so be sure to enjoy it during the Choir Games.
World Choir Games Dinner Deals

The hills — around here, anyway — are
alive with the sound of music! Everyone is singing this week in honor of
the World Choir Games, which, you’ve got to admit, have actually become
the Very Cool Thing that our civic leaders were predicting. It’s nice
to see the city filled with people, arriving from all over the globe,
enjoying Cincinnati and all it has to offer. I suspect that a choir, like an army,
travels on its stomach. These singers are going to need sustenance!
Snacks! Skyline!
WhackBurger (Review)
Unique Ingredients, Comic Books Inspire New Burger Joint
1 Comment · Tuesday, June 26, 2012
What do ground beef, onomatopoeia and a
slew of fresh ingredients have in common? Well, nothing, really, unless
you’re at the new gourmet burger restaurant WhackBurger in Covington.
The small restaurant has been open for about a month now, serving big,
juicy burgers with creative toppings right across the street from
Madison Theater.
