If you're not from the area, you've probably never heard of Cincinnati Chili. It's famous for a reason, but be prepared. Think less Wolf-Brand and more a Greek meat sauce over spaghetti noodles complete with hints of cinnamon, clove, and allspice. It's worth a trip at least once. I recommend the 5-way!

Graeter's is now the only commercial ice cream manufacturer anywhere in the world to use French Pot freezers, and its two-gallon batches are the smallest in the industry. Making each bite super rich and creamy! My fav - black raspberry chocolate chip... but you can't go wrong with any of their flavors!
