“Mike Brown” -u/I_am_from_Kentucky & u/Hershey78
“Anybody mention Mike Brown?” -u/KaleidoscopeLow8084

“Agreed. Small aside: it seems like his daughters are trying to reverse the ship a bit. (Not a MB fan in anyway, but trying to be objective).
But 100% spot on regarding Mike Brown.” -u/BedaHouse

“You could also say Katie inherited and improved it.” -u/Keregi
“Eh, the jury is still out on Katie. It definitely helps that the team lucked into getting Joe Burrow at the same time as a regime change. We'll see how this success lasts.” -u/THECapedCaper

“A bit? I mean, Mike Brown sucks as an owner overall but there's no way his daughter and granddaughter (who's awesome, btw) take over without him realizing his own archaic 20th century pre-free agency shortcomings, even if it took him 3 decades and most of my liver to get there. So while there's not a huge ceiling to the hyperbolic criticism that can be leveled at Mike as an owner, let's not engage in reverse hyperbole here either against his brood, for much like Mike is an apple that fell far from the Paul Brown Football Family IQ Tree, Kate and Elizabeth seem to be a closer fall so far.
I mean shit, we went to the Superbowl two seasons ago and narrowly lost, narrowly lost in the AFCN champ game last year and like clockwork, the early season .500 football team is waking up again. I waited 30 years for ONE playoff win, I am an embarrassment of football riches now, my cup overfloweth.” -u/warthog0869

Soul Secrets
1434 Vine St., Over-the-Rhine
This OTR spot doesn’t just offer soul food – their recipes tell the story of owner Candice Holloway’s family. "Our recipes – that's what we bring to the table. They're historic, they're traditional, they are original, they're from scratch, they are made with love,” Holloway told CityBeat. A look at the menu shows entrees that, in a lot of the South, would just be called good ol’ home cooking, like fried chicken, shrimp and grits, fried whiting and catfish. On the side, there’s macaroni and cheese, collard greens, sweet potatoes and cornbread — the kinds of dishes prepared for the family and that you’d hope for when someone offers to “fix you a plate.”

The garlic naan is perfect and the chicken tikka masala is top notch. Servers are friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is intimate and quiet enough for casual conversation.
