Eat It Up: Four Dishes Not to Miss

Return to main article

1 Cincinnati chile, the Queen City's culinary claim to fame—ground beef spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg and served over spaghetti. The Hartwell location of Empress Chili (8340 Vine St.; 513/761-5599; $3.65) makes our favorite plate. 2 The grilled goetta sandwich, a German breakfast patty of oatmeal and pork, seared on the grill, smeared with hot mustard, and served on white toast, at Eckerlin Meats (216 Findlay Market; 513/721-5743; $2). 3 An almond bear claw, a flaky, buttery croissant slathered with dark chocolate and thinly sliced almonds, at Shadeaux Breads (1336 Main St.; 513/665-9270; $1.30). 4 Hot metts, smoky, fiery chile-laced pork sausages that have drawn hungry diners downtown to Avril-Bleh & Sons (33 E. Court St.; 513/241-2433; $2.50) since 1894.
