GTKY - Food Edition

[sstwinklinglites]

What's everyone's favorite food? Favorite restaurant? Favorite dessert? Favorite beverage?

I like all the foods. Pasta is probably what I eat most often, but I love seafood. Oddly enough, I rarely have seafood with my pasta. Any sushi lovers among us? I'd love someone to go have sushi with (DH hates seafood).

I don't really have a favorite restaurant. But I frequent Carrabas.

Dessert: tiramisu

Beverage: Thai Iced Tea

[ladytiffany24]

I also like all the foods. Well, actually, not a seafood fan. So most of the foods.

I pretty much love anything that's bad for me...pizza, burgers & fries, chicken fingers. I love mexican, chinese, thai.

At the heart of it, I'm a meat and potatoes kind of girl. So give me a good steak or some grilled chicken and some mash potatoes and I'm a happy camper.

Carrabbas is def a fav of mine. The chicken marsala with those garlic mashed potatoes. To. Die. For. For steak, give me a filet mignon from Ruth's Chris. Yum.

Dessert: Just about anything. Seriously though. But I love a realllllly good cupcake. Still trying to find the best cupcakes in the greater Cincy area.

Beverage: Sweet tea. Or Cherry Coke.

Adult Beverage (yes, I added this, because...well, alcohol is a must): Love a good sangria.

I love seafood!! Finally got DH to love it as well. I enjoy going to Pappadeaux and J.Alexanders. I love any kind of dessert lol but particularly fruit cobblers and cupcakes. Hmm don't have a favorite beverage .... I like Sprite lol

Yummy sushi. Have you been to Kyoto ... ? PM me we can grab some one day we've neighbors.

[ladytiffany24]

mominthemaking14 DH and I have been wanting to go to J Alexanders. I take it it would be worth it?!

[mominthemaking14]

Yes love it. They change the menu sometimes but seriously I order chicken fingers or crab cakes all the time yummy. Yes chicken fingers lol.

[ladytiffany24]

Chicken fingers are one of my go-to's. I'm a kid at heart. lol

[vlagroupie]

mmmmm food def my weakness is pizza. Love a good New York style pizza which has been hard to find in cincy.
Then pasta, Mexican and Thai.

Dessert: cheesecake love a good strawberry cheesecake but also craved turtle cheesecake all the time while preggo.

Fav restaurant: Partial to J. Alexander's they have an awesome pasta dish on special 2x/week.

Beverage: fizzy coke, seems to taste the best at chipotle for some reason. Also love bubble tea which I haven't had in forever. I used to get them all the time from this place when I lived in Clifton.

Yes! They used to have rattlesnake pasta (there is no rattlesnake, just chicken and peppers) on the menu and then one day it was gone. They did bring it back on special tho, wishing we could make it one of those days.

[ladytiffany24]

Big fan of Chicago style pizza over here! Anyone found a good place in Cincy for that?!

[becole]

I love Ruth's Chris for steak. Also The Cincinnatian downtown is just as good (fancy). Jeff Ruby is good too. My DH and I used to eat out every weekend and we like pretty nice places so some of these are like an anniversary type of place.

I love the Melting Pot- omg...


I love Brio for Italian. There used to be a place in NKY called that had awesome Italian but they closed. I can't remember the name.

I love Deweys and Larosas for pizza. Also Godfathers in Covington if you like NY style pizza.

Graeters double chocolate chip.

Greyhound or the Eagle for fried chicken (one of my fave foods).

There are a few local Mexican places I love- Maya's in Florence and Mi Tierra in Ft. wright.

Best burger in Cincy is at Terry's Turf Club. If you haven't been- go!!

Primavista is good- it's like seafood, Italian- nice view overlooking the city.

The Rookwood is good and really cool atmosphere (it's where the old pottery factory was and you can eat inside the old kilns).

Walts Hitching Post is wonderful for southern cuisine.

[mrscatfarmer13]

I consider myself an EOE (equal opportunity eater), I love all food, minus chicken wings they're just not for me. I love a good sushi roll, but haven't been able to talk myself into sashimi, eating lox is about as close to sashimi as I get.

I don't have a fav restaurant, but love a good seafood place.

Favorite dessert? Hmmm... maybe cheesecake or ice cream, I love all desserts though.

Favorite beverage? A good sweet tea, wine, gin & tonic, wine, cran-vodka, did I mention wine?

Thank you for this list! DH and I at times can be alittle on the "foodie" side and all of these sound like they're right up our alley. Might come to you for food reco's often!

[becole]

ladytiffany24 my H has a spreadsheet lol. We got tired of going to the same places and really wanted to branch out.

Seasons 52 is good if you like locally farmed/ grown foods. There is the Elusive Cow in Bellevue, KY (right on the river) that is also organic and local.

On my list of overpriced and not great: Embers, Moerlein House, and The Symphony

[ladytiffany24]

becole lol, that's awesome. Your H and my H will definitely get along if he takes his food that seriously.

[sstwinklinglites]

ladytiffany24 - I was going to say cupcakes, but I can't find any I love in Cincy. And also, sangri - yum!

mominthemaking14 - I have not been, and I need someone to go with! We'll make it a date real soon.

vlagroupie - I love bubble tea! I haven't come across any around here though.

becole - Wasn't Terry's featured on Diners, Drive - In's, and Dives? I saw it, but I hear that the wait sometimes is absurd, and it's hard to get a seat unless you get there super early, and it just feels like a hassle with DS in tow. And thanks for that list! I want all the foods!

I'm happy to see we have Thai Food lovers here. I love Thai, haven't had any really good Thai here though.

[bluerainfire]

I am a vegetarian who misses bacon-
But I love- greek, mexican, thai, i eat a lot of pasta...

My comfort food is spaghetti and sauce, vegetable korma, drunken stir fry with tofu, spring rolls

Favorite restaurant? thai express, dumesh

Favorite dessert? carrot cake with not to much frosting, chocolate bar...

Favorite beverage? coffee

drink- margritas, gin tonic, long islands...

i love deweys, and its coming to my art of town! I love to find a good Mexican restaurant that is more authentic! I like veggie skyline 4 ways...

Not a steak house girl, but have gone and i love a good baked potato, mash, fried.. i just love potato

[sstwinklinglites]

bluerainfire - Yummy Greek! Is Thai Express the one on Montgomery next to Harper's Point? Also, I too love potatoes. How can anyone not like potatoes?

[jmebormann]

Hmmmmmm, I haven't been to too many places in Cincy yet! We love to cook at home! And it's really hard eating out with peanut. I copy so many things that I've had when we've eaten out:-)
Quarter Bistro was amazing when we went. Their key lime pie was AMAZING!
I LOVE a good rare, bloody steak!
Desserts: Key lime pie, brownies, and Popsicles:)
Beverage: Italian soda and OJ
I need to branch out a bit more around here. We were so spoiled in Chicago with sooooo many good places to eat. I need to start making notes from you guys:)

[ladytiffany24]

Ummm...how could I even forget one of my FAVORITE foods. I love, love, love BBQ. And I'm happy to say that I've found a place in Cincy that has some of the best pulled pork I've ever had. Eli's BBQ. Plus, it's BYOB. So driiiiiink.

[becole]

sstwinklinglites . About Terry's Turf Club. I think they open at like 11? If you went during the week for lunch or dinner, I think you would be fine. The only time I think there is a wait is if it's a regular dinner time or around the Reds games. We used to go when they opened at 11 on Saturdays or Sunday's and never had a wait. It was on Diners... It's really good. Huge burgers, fries are kinda like five guys, and the atmosphere is fun. Totally kid appropriate. I would call and ask about the best time to go and check it out.

[becole]

@mominthemaking tell me about pappadeux ?

[babylove518]

I don't think I have a favorite food... Or maybe it's just anything that's bad for me. Lol I'm a super simple eater... I just can't do seafood or super bowl spicy stuff.

Favorite restaurants are skyline and red robin. I love red robins burgers and their fries with ranch. Yep, Totally bad for me. Lol

Favorite dessert... Anything fudge.

Favorite drink: sweet tea. Or alcoholic is a good strawberry margarita or sangria.

I love Red Robin burgers and fries!!! And alllllll the sauces. Seriously though, we ask for a plate of all the sauces (the ones they dont' charge extra for) everytime we go!

[JoBub]

Favorite food? I like to eat everything. Crab legs might be a contender for favorite. Also sweet potato fries.

Favorite restaurant? I don't think I have a favorite. I love to eat out. I think it's a psychological thing because we hardly ever went out to eat when I was a kid.

Favorite dessert? Chocolate cake. Or anything else with chocolate. The only way I would ever choose a non-chocolate dessert would be if it involved fresh strawberries.

Favorite beverage? I drink too much Diet Pepsi

Favorite drink? Wine. That's pretty much all I drink anymore. Bud Light if we're at a dive bar.

[vlagroupie]

Oh I totally forgot about Indian! Ambar is thheeee best! Also on the burger front, zips is pretty good.

[narbuckle01]

You all are making me hungry. I just had to go on a cookie hunt in my cube-land.

Favorite food? Seafood, pasta, thai and sushi.
Favorite restaurant? Local places in Dayton- Jimmy's Italian Kitchen, Christopher's.
Favorite dessert? Chocolate
Favorite beverage? Wine
Favorite drink? Oh, ooops, wine here too.

[sstwinklinglites]

Ya'll, I really want to go eat now.

ETA: And I can't, because I already have work to do today. Yeah... I already received my computer, plus a box of files to go through.

[bluerainfire]

Oohh i forgot, strawberry short cake, fresh garden tomato's and baseball nacho's, yeah totally went to a baseball game while pregnant just to eat nachos...
