The Business Courier recently did a story on what we eat in Cincinnati or maybe I should say the top five restaurant chains in this area. You can click here to read their findings.
We all know people from Cincinnati love their chili, so it’s no surprise that Skyline and Gold Star are in the top five. Do people from out of town love the chili too? I had a friend from Seattle visit here once and she tried to eat a cheese coney. After two bites, she threw it in the trash. Maybe just not a chili lover?
Penn Station is in the top five. I’ve eaten there a few times and it’s not bad—certainly better than Subway, but then again anything is better than Subway.
We all know LaRosa’s would be in the top five. I have a love/hate relationship there. I love the way their food taste, but have been known to get very sick from eating it. A few years ago, a friend was in town and a bunch of us went to LaRosa’s for lunch. It turned out to be a long lunch as I had to keep going to the toilet. That steak hoagie didn’t go down well.
Buffalo Wings & Rings is also in the top five. Maybe it’s good, maybe it’s not. I’ve never eaten there.
Maybe this post will give you some ideas for lunch today. I know writing this has for me. I’m staying home to eat.

You did give me an idea for lunch. I haven’t been to Skyline in weeks. I’m hungry for it and it’s not even eight o’clock!
I don’t believe these findings. You mean to say McDonald’s is not in the top five?
Gus, The story is about restaurant chains based in Cincinnati. McDonald’s isn’t based here.
If a restaurant doesn’t have a 99 cent menu, I’m not interested.
I can’t do La Rosa’s on a regular basis either. I think there is something in that sauce they use that gives me the runs. Yeah, taste great but I don’t feel like paying for it later.
Ever notice how some of the worst restaurants chains — Taco Bell, KFC, Subway — are located in GAS STATIONS? There’s a reason for that.
Maxie,
