Eat, Drink and be Merry --Wherever You May Be!
There's a lot you can tell about a place from its doughnuts...
Doughnuts not withstanding, there's much you can learn about a place from its food. Cuisine is as connected to neighborhood and place as much as art walks, school board issues, and climate.

Description
Kickapedia is new in 2008 as a local wiki directory for the Kickapoo Valley of southwestern Wisconsin. The community site KickTime.org needed a list of links to local resources and there were so many we decided to develop a wiki that the community could update and enlarge as interests allowed. The focus is on progressive efforts like fair trade, local food and support of local businesses.

Midtown Lunch
If you work in Midtown, than you know how lazy people are when it comes to lunch. One block in either direction is about as far as most people will go- and usually it’s just for a crappy salad or sandwich. I’m not one of those people. To me, lunch hour is sacred- and I’m not going to waste it in some generic Midtown deli. And every place I find, I will share it with you. . .

There are tons of people in Cincinnati who eat and eat well. Not a whole lot of us write about it. I don't proclaim to be a professional chef. I don't proclaim to be a food critic. I know what I like, I know what I want, and I hope you can share in my culinary adventures.
You'll find restaurant reviews, my adventures in home cooking, culinary news, and general banter. Questions? Email me at winemedinemecinci at gmail dot com.
