Cincinnati, Ohio

Called the “Queen City of the West,’ Cincinnati sits along the Ohio River, nestled into low rolling hills. Long an important river port town, Cincinnati was settled largely by Germans, and by the mid-1800s, was known as “Porkopolis” because of its importance as a meat-packing place. Cincinnati’s German heritage remains on display in the food-friendly festivals (Over-the-Rhine) and beer gardens (Mecklenburg Gardens). Cincinnati marks the unofficial crossing point between the South and Midwest. Modern residents of Cincinnati can boast of a trademark dish: Cincinnati Chili. It comes any of "five ways": as a straight-up bowl of chili, served over spaghetti, and topped with beans, cheese and/or onions. It is thought to have been the invention of Greek or Bulgarian immigrants to Cincinnati.

I have made a pasta salad similar to this only didn't use onion and added fresh basil torn into small pieces and about 1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese. gives an Italian twist that was received well.

Banana Banana Bread

Reviewed on Aug. 28, 2008 by Ann Witgen
EVEN BETTER THAN MY MOM'S RECIPE!! So easy and delicious. I believe the amount of bananas does not matter as several of the reviews mention using anywhere from 3 to 7 bananas and it turned out fine. Personally, I used 4, which is what I had on hand. My modifications: 1 tsp. vanilla, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 cup walnuts, and I used a glass baking pan on the second to last shelf in my oven (which is electric, I think it makes a difference for evenness). Came out completely done, and not too dense. Otherwise, followed the recipe exactly down to temperature and baking time. Will use again and again!

Meat Loaf Pie

Reviewed on Aug. 28, 2008 by Ann Witgen
I tried this last night. It was very tasty and very quick and easy, which is important to me after work. I quadrupled the ketchup and doubled the worcestershire (I think I'll quad that too next time). I added minced garlic to the mashed potatoes, and used onion flakes instead of real onions-made no difference in taste. I also pre-baked the crust for 10 minutes-made a big difference! Layered meat, then corn, then potatoes and monterey jack cheese. I also did not drain the corn because the recipe didn't call for it. I'll make sure to do so next time. My brother liked it so well, he had 3/4 of a pie by himself. I only gave 4 out of 5 stars because it's a great base recipe that needs a little adaptation.
