"Over the years, Cincinnati has earned a reputation for conservatism and keeping to itself, especially regarding food, but thats changing. Old favorites like cinnamon-scented chili on spaghetti, ice cream with huge chocolate chunks and old-fashioned German butchers selling goetta, brats and metts are being rediscovered--and in some cases re-created. A similar urge for experimentation and innovation from restaurants, farmers markets and food producers is bringing new energy to the citys tables. Gathering the stories of the pioneers and the entrepreneurs of the past and the present, Enquirer food critic Polly Campbell unfolds how Cincinnatis history has set the table for its menu today."--Amazon website.
