You can eat outside if the weather's nice, or you can bring your food into the Northside Tavern and listen to live music. They have boiled, chilled new potatoes as a side-- rolled in kosher salt with a side of hot-creamy mustard (I believe it's cut with mayo). Super, super good stuff.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14911168030162240860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148531084084343844.post-46144303207767782492008-04-03T08:45:00.000-04:002008-04-03T08:45:00.000-04:00Random Question:I have lived in Cincinnati for two...Random Question:<BR/><BR/>I have lived in Cincinnati for two years and have never been to Northside. I told my hubby I wanted to go Friday night for dinner. After doing some research I think Honey's is a little two expensive for a Friday night dinner (saturday we are doing scotti's). Would anyone recommend Slims or The Hideaway? Is the another place we should check out instead?

Terry doesn't like beets, so I get them all to myself. Mmm.<BR/><BR/>I haven't been to Tink's in years-- I need to try them again. <BR/><BR/>Valereee-- I'm a snap-and-eater, and I try to be a baggist. :P<BR/><BR/>Kari-- You WOULD.

Pork belly sure does seem to be all the rage lately, just had it Lavo (It was sublime with the egg and beets). <BR/><BR/>If you like somewhat dressed up grits, I can definitely recommend Tinks over off of Ludlow in Clifton (on Telford). They do (or at least used did when I went) a shrimp and cheddar grits that was quite tasty.Chris Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00515781796690431306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148531084084343844.post-85894654735717507552008-04-02T07:52:00.000-04:002008-04-02T07:52:00.000-04:00Welcome home!

They should be running the deals again soon for the 2nd quarter. Keep us posted if you hear anything!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I had the duck when I went too, and thought it was fantasitc. I have since tried to make it, order it out (Pigalls), and still think that Hugo's is the best. What is it about grits? I made some Sunday night in chicken stock with a little freshly grated parmesean, and dang they were good. I have a similar obsession to oatmeal and I think it has to do with the texture.<BR/><BR/>My mom was in town last week and we took her to Nicola's. She lives in Seattle, and as a fellow foodie, and lover of good food, she was blown away by the quality and service. Welcome home, and I can't wait to hear about the trip!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06389762997402723006noreply@blogger.com
