Historic Restaurants Of Cincinnati: (American Palate) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Cincinnati is the home to food inventions, rivalries and restaurants that stand the test of time. The Queen City boasts the invention of both Cincinnati chili and goetta. Mecklenburg Gardens, Arnolds, Izzys and Scottis have all operated for over a century. The French restaurant Maisonette was the epitome of fine dining, and Wong Yies Famous Restaurant took Chinese cuisine from street fare to an exotic experience. Busken Bakery and Frischs vied for Cincinnati pumpkin pie supremacy by taking digs at each other through billboards and redecorating a Big Boy statue in Busken attire. Author Dann Woellert explores the most iconic eateries, the German influence on Queen City food and what makes dining so unique in Cincinnati.

This book contains some pretty interesting anecdotes. The problem is – can I believe them? Unfortunately, the book contains many errors and misstatements. Maybe the most glaring is the repeated misspelling of the Izzy Kadetz’ family's surname as “Cadets”. Ugh. But elsewhere, Woellert discusses “Johnny and Carlo” (instead of “Carlo and Johnny’s”), claims that Grippo’s does not sell plain potato chips (they do!), asserts that haggis originated in “Teutonic (sic) Europe”, and misnames Paul Dixon as Paul Gibson. And I’m pretty sure that the Temple Deli on 7th Street closed long before 2006.
good history and information on the many historic restaurants in Cincinnati. Having lived in Cincinnati when most of these restaurants were flourishing, I found this history not only fascinating but also a trip down memory lane. Dann Woellert has done an excellent job of selecting those food spots that mirror the history of the Queen City. Well worth the time to read and absorb the wonderful information provided in this enjoyable book.
