Historic Restaurants of Cincinnati: The Queen City's Tasty History (American Palate)

Cincinnati is the home to food inventions, rivalries and restaurants that stand the test of time. The Queen City boasts the invention of both Cincinnati chili and goetta. Mecklenburg Gardens, Arnoldï¿½s, Izzyï¿½s and Scottiï¿½s have all operated for over a century. The French restaurant Maisonette was the epitome of fine dining, and Wong Yieï¿½s Famous Restaurant took Chinese cuisine from street fare to an exotic experience. Busken Bakery and Frischï¿½s vied for Cincinnati pumpkin pie supremacy by taking digs at each other through billboards and redecorating a Big Boy statue in Busken attire. Author Dann Woellert explores the most iconic eateries, the German influence on Queen City food and what makes dining so unique in Cincinnati.
