Sometimes The Boyfriend and I get into dining ruts. Our Friday nights go something like this: “What are you thinking, dinner-wise?” “I don’t know, what do you want?” “I don’t know, what do YOU want?” We go ’round and ’round until we end up at […]

As reported on the Cincinnati Blog, Lavo has a new (pretty spiffy looking) website. I’ve been there since the shakeup, and still enjoy the time I’ve spent there.  I really like the people who work there, and Chef David does a pretty good job putting […]

(Guest post by The Boyfriend) Julie doesn’t normally review chain restaurants here on wine me, dine me.   But this is a general guideline,  not a hard-and-fast rule.   She does make exceptions for local chains, small chains, and chains that are just moving into the Cincinnati […]

When we were in college, a bunch of pizzas, some jarred salsa and chips and a case of cheap beer was more than enough to fuel a killer party. As we get older, our tastes change and our budgets expand, and we get busier—but we […]

Kari is one of my dear friends who lives in New York.  She shares my foodie exuberance and love of prosciutto holders (wow, is that a long story…). Anyway.  She mentioned she was going to Le Bernardin for dinner, and I jokingly suggested, “Oh, that’s […]

Restaurant Week has started– and, to be honest? I’m barely even tempted to go. Last year, we had such mediocre experiences– and we frequent a lot of the GCI restaurants, and do NOT have mediocre experiences– that if we go, it will be merely coincidental. […]
