allow me to amend my statement, they were the only regional franchise that offered crinkle cut fries for a pretty decent period of time
I'm not sure whether to argue or not argue. On one hand, Runza has been around since like the 50s and Culver's only since the mid-80s, so I guess you're factually accurate. On the other hand, you smell like farts.
Cincy guys...anything worthwhile in the Batavia/eastgate mall area? Can I get the Ohio style pizza anywhere around there?
Yeah I wasn't aware of it until recently either. I am extremely skeptical as it doesn't look or sound very good, but I'm going to reserve judgment until after I've tried it. Cheese isn't melted apparently. http://slice.seriouseats.com/archiv...le-pizza-cheese-is-uncooked-after-baking.html
It's mostly chains out there, but they do have a Jungle Jims. Top notch beer, hot sauces, and international foods. It's a grocery though, no hot meals.
You have Donatos which puts 5x too many toppings on the pizza, and LaRosa's which is just frozen pizza that they take the liberty of baking it for you.
I used to work in the area, what brings you there? No pizza places worthwhile in the area that I was ever aware of.
Also just a heads up for the cinci guys. The Raising Cane's in West Chester finally opened last week.
Is Great Scot still out there? I haven't been there in 5-6 years, but I remember it being decent. teague888
It was when I stopped working over there two years ago. Yeah Great Scot was good, that's where used to take people that would come in from out of town if we didn't want to go all the way downtown or over to Kenwood.
Client of my firm is headquartered here, I'll be here for the next four weeks and home on the weekends. Thanks for the recs fellas. I'll hand out likes.
Four weeks is a while. Not sure about your budget, but if you are looking to get away from the chains/mall restaurants at Eastgate, there is a pretty good place off of the Milford/50 exit called 20 Brix. You have to wind your way through the movie theater/chain restaurants to get into the old section of Milford to get to it. It's a couple of exits west of where you are on I-275. Loveland and Montgomery have a lot of restaurants that are pretty good. You are looking at everything from the $15-45 range there (or higher), basic restaurants to high end steakhouses.
Ok cincy guys we are at it again. Out of the sticks into the city. Where should I get dinner tonight/tomorrow? Montgomery inn? Eagle? Rookwood?
Also teague888 if you want Mexican go to Bakersfield. There's another place Mexican called Gomez that's supposed to be good as well, but I have not had it yet.
Thanks homie. Heavily favoring senate. Been eating a lot of chipotle during the week. Weirdly about the healthiest thing in eastgate.
Just make sure you get one of their hot dogs The dipping sauce that comes with the fries is great as well
Can I wear shorts and a t in there? Wasn't planning on staying the weekend so didn't pack accordingly. Have that or work clothes.
goose Senate was legit af. Thanks for the rec. didn't now bacon fat fries were a thing, but so glad they are.
Ate at the old school knights in Ann Arbor last night. Aside from the um crap on the walls, I fucking love that place. The one downtown is solid as well, just slightly fancier.
We're going to Ann Arbor for Korean this weekend. Ann Arbor has better Korean food than Chicago, and it isn't close. I'm very excited.

That sounds terrific, until they add cinnamon and poor the beer over pasta. I'm just kidding, it sounds lovely.
Fancy here's my Zombie Dust update.... It cannot be found anywhere. Called the local place I thought had it (listed on 3 Floyds distribution site) and they said they will maybe get like six bottles TOTAL a month. And when they do get them they only sell one bottle per customer. Called a few other places and they pretty much told me the same thing. The one liquor store owner said that if you aren't a store owner in parts of Indiana or Chicago then the stuff is basically a unicorn. I wanna die.
Maybe this is my general ill will with respect to 3 Floyds making what they want instead of what their customers want, but it's not fairy blood. It's good, but I wouldn't kill myself looking for it.
I found some at a bar in Bloomington the last time the Gophers played IU. I didn't even know about it and just asked the bartender for a recommendation of something I couldn't find in MN. He said, "we just got a keg of Zombie Dust. We rarely have it and when we do it sells out the same night." It was marvelous and true to his word it was cashed by the end of the night.
