We get a deep dive into the stuff old white people like. German food. Cincinnati style chili. Ice cream. Fancy restaurants propped up by sleazy 3CDC developers. With nods to Jeff Ruby and Buddy LaRosa. But weirdly enough there's no mention of Montgomery Inn. And even more distressing, there's zero mention of the African-American, Hispanic and Asian contributions to Queen City cuisine. Disappointing. It just feels very incomplete.

Quick read with good history spanning all the big Cincy food traditions.
