I have a lot of faults—among them probably drinking and smoking too much—but one thing I try to do is eat right. I try to stay away from junk food.
But it’s hard to stay away from Izzy’s and those damn potato pancakes. They taste too good.
Last week, I met up with my son and we went to the Izzy’s on Main Street in downtown Cincinnati. Then later that week, I had a business meeting with someone and found myself at Izzy’s yet again.
Both times, I had a sandwich with a potato pancake. The potato pancake was the highlight of both meals.
At the end of the week, I found myself downtown again with half an hour to kill before meeting up with a friend. Where did I go? Izzy’s. What did I get? A potato pancake. Screw the sandwich.
For many here in Cincinnati, it’s the chili. For me, it’s the potato pancake. Go figure.
