Cincinnati - The City That Doesn't Go Anywhere!
Mike Looks At The Map - Episode 15
America's once-pivotal Queen City is seeing a resurgence, after decades of being strangled by highways and overtaken by newer metropolises--and it's got a strong case to be one of America's great cities once again. But can its successful parts grow outward to fit a growing 21st Century urban population?

Cincinnati Attractions - 5 Things Every Tourist Should Do!
Cincinnati Attractions blog post can be found here:
Did you know that Cincinnati is becoming hip? Thanks to a lot of gentrification and the 2015 MLB All-Star Game, there are many Cincinnati attractions that showcase its great food and beer scene, as well as its downtown core. In this video, I cover 5 things every tourist should do in Cincinnati!
Firstly, you have to take a tour with American Legacy Tours. I did the Queen City Haunted Tour that takes you on a ghost tour of the city, including inside the haunted Symphony Hotel! The company offers other great tours as well, like the Underground Tour that shows you the city's hidden tunnels.
The second of the Cincinnati attractions is the Over-The-Rhine neighborhood. This is a trendy neighborhood that has been gentrified and has an excellent food and beer selection, including my favorite cider at Rhinegeist Brewing Company.
Third on the list is Graeter's Ice Cream, which is a local chain with multiple locations across Cincinnati. They are known for their black raspberry chip flavor which I recommend!
Fourth is Smale Riverfront Park, a new downtown park along the riverfront that contains illuminated fountains, a playground, and a Queen City sign. It is clean and beautiful, an absolute treat for locals.
Finally, you have to walk across the John A. Roebling suspension bridge. The bridge has great views of the city and river and will take you right to Kentucky. On the other side of the bridge, you will get a full-scale view of the downtown Cincinnati skyline.
In summary, there are a lot of great things to do in Cincinnati, highlighted by their bars and restaurants, inviting downtown core, and sports as well.

More bars carrying local, craft beers than traditional lagers
CINCINNATI (WKRC) - In the Queen City, beer is king.
Cincinnati has always had a love affair with beer. After all, very few cities produced (and drank) as much beer as Cincinnatians. And from Moerlein to Hudepohl to Wiedemann -- we drank local brews.
The beer scene is thriving again and the whole country is taking notice, turning Cincinnati into a beer haven once again.
Earlier in October, Ohio breweries took home 15 medals at the Great American Beer Festival. That's more than any other border state to Ohio. Indiana was the closest with nine.
Talking with people who make and sell beer, nobody saw this kind of success coming a decade ago.
I think it’s pretty sweet to see Cincinnati breweries do so well, said Devin Fields, Pies & Pints' beer buyer.
Inside Pies & Pints at The Banks, there are 36 beers on tap. The majority are craft beers and most are from Cincinnati or the region.
We have a really good variety of beers on tap. I try to have a little something for everybody, Fields said.
One of those options: a beer from Taft's Brewing Company.
Being slightly, much smaller than the large, large breweries in the country, we are able to respond to consumer demands and change our products, said Jared Hamilton, the director of brewing operations at Taft's.
And that's good for business. Inside bars, your grandpa's draft is going stale. Bright colors, crazy logos and bold flavors are taking over.
I had no clue it would be anything like this. This entire industry has been in a pressure cooker for the past 10 years. We’ve gone from a few microbreweries in town to more than 50 in the region, Hamilton said.
Hamilton's beer journey began 10 years ago Monday with an email hoping to get a job at Mt. Carmel Brewing Company. Today, he's making sure Taft's beer is filling cups from Kentucky and northern Ohio.
To me, it’s all about quality. Quality is going to dictate the quantity. The more quality we have, the better for the consumer, better for the brewers and better for everybody, he said.
The Ohio Craft Brewers Association says craft brewers brought nearly $1 billion to the state in 2018. That's up 39 percent from the last time a study was conducted four years ago.

Cincinnati Music Festival: New name, same great tunes
CINCINNATI (Brad Underwood) -- There were concerns that protests could spill over and put a damper on the start of the Music Fest at Paul Brown Stadium. Some had called for a boycott of the event. Up to Friday, July 24, the only protest may be for a longer show. Local 12 News hasn't seen anything negative or people urging a boycott of the event. Everyone was having a great time Friday. A weekend thousands planned for months in advance. Charter busses from all over the United States were in Cincinnati because the music festival is one of the largest of its kind. The gates at Paul Brown Stadium opened promptly at 6:30 p.m. The first fans in line, the Ladies of the Buffalo Travelers. Josephine Kirkland said, I love coming here, I come every year with Buffalo Travelers. Two charter buses of the travelers brought the music lovers to the Queen City each year for the weekend concert. In 2015 they were everywhere around the stadium, waiting for the show to start. As Luke James warmed up the crowd inside, outside fans get some local music flavor. The name has changed a few times as have the sponsors but the greatness, the hype, the music remains and continues to draw a major crowd each year. Joe Santangelo said, The music has morphed, it used to be straight jazz, then a mix, now mostly RB and that's what the people want. We have to fill the seats so we have to bring the artists the people want to see. The music continues Saturday, July 25. Gates open at 6:30 p.m. and the music begins an hour later.

Graeter's new Factory
City officials helped dedicate the new Graeter's ice cream facility in the City of Cincinnati. The 28,000-square-foot plant, which is located on Paddock Road and 66th Street in the Bond Hill neighborhood, will accommodate Graeter's expansion into new markets nationally. Officials will participate in the dedication ceremony at 10 a.m. which includes a cornerstone celebration and a street dedication which will rename 66th Street to Regina Graeter Way in honor of the great-grandmother of the current owners of the company who made the French Pot recipes a Cincinnati hit. Graeter's will create about 50 jobs at the new facility, with the potential for additional jobs within several years. The cost of the building project is approximately $11 million.
As a Cincinnati-based, family-run company, we are proud of our association with this wonderful city and look forward to new generations of success, said Richard Graeter, president and CEO of Graeter's. The City has provided generous assistance to us in the construction of our new ice cream production facility. We are incredibly grateful, because not only will their support help us expand nationally, but it is also helping us create jobs locally.
The City offered the company a competitive incentive package which included: a 4.5 acre parcel ($450,000); a loan of $10 million that they will repay over 20 years with terms of 2% interest in the initial two years during the construction period, and 4% interest for years 3 through 20. The proposed net present value of the City incentives is worth $3.3 million.
Graeter's will not seek any additional tax incentives for which they would otherwise be entitled through the City. As part of the agreement, Graeter's has committed to stay and grow in the City for a minimum of 20 years.
The new facility is solely devoted to ice cream production. Graeter's will continue to make its ice cream using its original method - the French Pot Process - on the exact same French Pot machines, keeping with the same family recipes. The high quality and superb taste of Graeter's will remain the same. The new facility will have a larger freezer, loading dock and a blend room where Graeter's will mix together the cream and flavors that create all of Graeter's irresistible taste combinations. Graeter's corporate offices will move to Paddock Road; however, some offices will be maintained at the current Reading Road facility.
Graeter's is a Cincinnati institution. It is exciting to see one of our hometown, family companies grow and succeed, and I couldn't be happier that they are continuing to grow right here in Cincinnati, Mayor Mallory said. The City is pleased to have partnered with Graeter's to help build a new state-of-the-art facility and create new jobs in our community.
Graeter's growth is contributing to the growth-mode that the City of Cincinnati is experiencing these days, said City Manager Milton Dohoney, Jr. And as they take their brand to new national markets, they are a great ambassador for the city. I congratulate them on this milestone.
Graeter's original plant will remain open and operational to make ice cream, candy and baked goods.

Effort underway to prevent King Records demolition
CINCINNATI (WKRC) - An important piece of music history in the Tri-State faces another demolition threat.
King Records helped put Cincinnati on par with places like Sun Studios in Memphis and Motown in Detroit. The issue had been in the courts before, but now it was going to the city's Historic Conservation Board January 30, for a demolition permit hearing. The mayor was hoping to head that off with city council action.
Although most drivers on I-71 probably don't know it, an iconic location in the history of American popular music was right there. When people hear King Records they may thing of James Brown, but so many came through; Jimi Hendrix went there and played. Hank Ballard, Little Willie John, Otis Williams were some of them. It's been abandoned for several years, but from 1943-71, the King Records studio on Brewster Avenue was where music history, and other history, was made by owner Syd Nathan and performers in country, R&B, rock n' roll, doo wopp, and funk.
There was even an historical marker in front, from the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.
Mayor John Cranley (D) said, Saving King Records is an imperative for civil rights in the history of this country. King Records was the first integrated record company in the United States, in the 1940s. It produced music of black and white artists, which was extremely rare in that time period.
But the building's owner filed a demolition permit request, saying there were holes in the roof, the second floor was falling down, there was serious deterioration, and the interior was unsafe. Company attorney Tim Burke said the building was so far gone that it would be incredibly expensive to save and not economically feasible to do so.
But Mayor Cranley will ask city council to declare a public purpose to save the building; making eminent domain at least a possibility if the owner will not sell to the city. The long term goal would be to rebuild King Records into a museum and community recording facility, run by the non profit King Studios Foundation.
Mayor Cranley said he'd rather see the owner sell the building to the city instead of going to court on eminent domain. But so far the owner was unwilling. Cranley said if eminent domain did happen, the city would pay fair market value for the property. The auditor's valuation was $130,000.
The mayor said turning the site into a museum would cost a million dollars or two. That money would be privately raised.
The mayor will meet Thursday afternoon, January 12, with various groups trying to save King Records, to talk about the next steps.
So Cincinnati: Herb and Thelmas
COVINGTON, Ky. (Joe Webb) -- If you've driven up the hill on Covington's Pike Street you've undoubtedly seen the odd shaped building on the big curve. If you step inside, chances are you'll see Rich Ritchie at the grill. It's his baby. There's no other grill like it. It's a 1940's version of the South Bend grill. It's got a seasoned platter on it, seasoned in more ways than one. Not only has it soaked in the flavors of fried bologna and hot metts, it's acquired a real burger seasoning. This old grill cooks a lot of burgers. On an average week? 300-325 burgers. You take that times 52 weeks a year and you make between 15,000 and 17,000 burgers a year. Each one a third-pound, hand-made patty of burger that was ground that day and never frozen. Slow-cooked. It's what brings back the regulars and draws in first- timers, like Emily Frank. She got the standard cheeseburger with pickle and onion. It was a great experience. It's delicious. It tastes fresh. You can taste the grill. It all comes together very well. A single cheeseburger is $2.50. The building was built in 1859. It's been a barber shop, bank and apartments. Since 1939, it's been pretty much what it is today. Rich bought the place two years ago from the Boehmker family who ran it for 73 years. He has filled it with memorabilia, authentic beer lights from local brewers, and a trolley car ad from the old green line that clacked up the hill past the bar for generations. The burgers are a big draw to Herb and Thelma's but there's more. For the people who came here with their grandparents and parents, it's continuity. A sense of place. This is just like old Covington and it's a warm, inviting place.It's a refreshing step into the past and we're losing them. We just lost Chez Nora last week. We're losing these places one-by-one. Rich has Herb and Thelma's on the market. The 80-hour weeks are getting to him. He hopes to find a buyer who keeps it like it is. So does the throng that gobbles up those 15,000 burgers every year. Because you can get a burger a lot of places but Herb and Thelma's is the only place you can get one of like these. Herb and Thelma's got its name from Herb Boehmker and his wife, Thelma, who bought the place from Herb's father in 1961. Herb sold the bar to his son Chip in 1984 and he ran it until 2012.

Slush Puppie and Icee In a pouch?! Tasty!
Slush Puppie (styled as SLUSH PUPPiE) is a slush beverage created in 1970, and marketed both directly by the Slush Puppie division of J & J Snack Foods, and through its Slush Puppie distributors in the US.
A Slush Puppie has two major components; the base and the flavoring. The base is made from a special syrup that is mixed with water and then frozen. This creates a mixture resulting in pellets of ice in a sweet liquid. The taste is simply that of the flavored syrup.

Origin
The original owners, Will Radcliff (1939–2014), his sister, Phyllis, and their mother, Thelma, came up with the name Slush Puppie while sitting on their front door in Cincinnati, Ohio.[1] The business started from a home address in Cincinnati and progressed to a single door small warehouse, to a manufacturing plant/warehouse, to a candy and tobacco distributor, to a front door repair shop, to finally a showplace building that overlooks the city of Cincinnati.[2]
Under Radcliff, Slush Puppie grew to $250 million in annual sales.[3] Radcliff sold Slush Puppie to Cadbury Schweppes for $166.6 million in 2000.[3][4] Slush Puppie was then acquired by J & J Snack Foods (aka the ICEE Corporation), a food manufacturer based in New Jersey, on May 32, 2006.[3][5] ~Via Wikipedia
The Icee Company is an American beverage company located in Ontario, California, United States. Its flagship product is the Icee (stylized as ICEE), which is a frozen carbonated beverage available in fruit and soda flavors. Icee also produces other frozen beverages and Slurpee Italian ice pops under both the Icee and Slush Puppie brands. The company's mascot is an animated polar bear.
The Icee Company was founded by Omar Knedlik who is the inventor of the original Icee drink. It became the foundation for the Slurpee and other frozen machine drinks after several machines made by the company were purchased by 7-Eleven in 1965. It has been a division of J & J Snack Foods Corporation since 1988 and distributes product in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, the United Kingdom, China, and the Middle East.[1]

History
Icee delivery truck at a Walmart in Ypsilanti Township, Michigan
The Icee was invented in 1958 by Omar Knedlik, a Dairy Queen owner in Coffeyville, Kansas.[2] The beverage was the result of faulty equipment in the Dairy Queen owned by Knedlik.[3] His soda machine broke and he began placing bottles of soda in the freezer to keep them cold. Knedlik began selling bottles of the soda which would instantly turn to slush once opened.[1] The frozen soda became popular with the customers of the establishment.[3]
The name Icee as well as the original company logo were developed by Ruth E. Taylor, a local artist and friend of Knedlik.[3] She developed the name Icee, as well as the idea of the logo's icicles hanging from the block letters, which has remained unchanged. She thought of the Polar Bear, but the actual bear mascot had already been created by the Norsworthy-Mercer ad agency. The Icee word with the snow on it was designed by a Mitchell Company staff artist, Lonnie Williams, as part of a cup he designed.
Knedlik partnered with the John E Mitchell Company in Dallas to develop the machine, for which Knedlik received a patent in 1960.[1] The first machine was made from a car air conditioning unit. It worked by combining and freezing water, carbon dioxide, and a flavor mix.[4] After 5 years Knedlik's idea had become the iconic Icee Machine after drawing the attention of 7-Eleven. The convenience store chain purchased several machines and later changed the product name to Slurpee based on the slurping sound people make when drinking the beverage.[1]
The Mitchell Company instituted a two-tiered franchise plan involving Developers and Subdevelopers. Essentially, the Developers and Subdevelopers both paid fees and rentals for the right to use specified numbers of Icee dispensers and for rights within exclusive territories to distribute the machines and to promote the sale of the Icee drink. By the mid-1960s, 300 Icee machines had been manufactured.[5] ~Via Wikipedia

FNN: Serious earthquake rattles Alaska, Red Ribbon hung at White House for World AIDS Day
A clearly-irked French President Emmanuel Macron was heard telling Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman “you never listen to me” in a video captured during a break in the ongoing G20 summit Friday.
The comments were made during a private conversation between the two leaders about the murder of Saudi activist Jamal Khashoggi and the political crisis in Yemen, a French official told Reuters.
“You never listen to me,” Macron is heard saying in English in footage posted by the Saudi Gazette newspaper.
“No I will listen of course,” bin Salman says, also in English, in response before launching into a fit of laughter.
Macron, undeterred and continuing on with the conversation, later says “I’m a man of my word.”

For The Love of Pork Belly | The Food Craftsmen Podcast
▶ Check out my gear on Kit:
We hold true, here in the U.S, the inalienable right to eat what some consider the food of the gods. We believe pork belly is a truly American dish. We treat it with reverence. Truth be told pork, in particular, the meaty, fatty belly is loved and used in cuisines all over the world. It is no less American than it is Korean, Phillipino, Japanese, or Taiwanese.
History: Some argue hogs were domesticated in China around 4900BC. Romans raised two types of pigs, one with a larger frame known to have lots of lard to render. While a smaller pig was raised primarily for its' meat.
It is said Queen Isabella insisted Christopher Columbus transport 8 pigs on his journey to Cuba in 1493. They were hardy animals that could survive the trip with minimal care, and could provide meat in an emergency.
Hernando de Soto brought the first 13 domesticated pigs to the Americas in 1539 when he landed in Tampa Bay Florida. Within three years, his herd had grown to almost 700. Pork production headed North and West as the exploration of the country grew. By the 1800's Cincinnati was the largest pork-producing city in the world. It earned the nickname: Porkopolis.
As pork production grew, methods were used to raise leaner animals and prevent disease. The idea was to produce more offspring at a cheaper rate. This created infinite pork on the market, but at a cost. The cost wasn't financial, it was in taste. Through the mid-1900's and early 2000's pork became known as the other white meat. It was evident in color, texture, and flavor.
In the late-2000's the trend returned to heritage breeds; the Large Black, Old Spot, Tamworth, and Ossabow which is a direct descendent of the Spanish Iberico hog. This is where the culinary world steps in.
Culinary Uses: Chefs from all over have succumbed to the versatility and sheer awesomeness of the pork belly. In the United States, most Americans only know of its' processed form, bacon. Believe me, bacon is wonderful, but there is so much more to pork belly than bacon.
It's skin, with a fatty cap that covers a layer of meat can be used in a variety of ways. Pork belly lends itself to curing, roasting, sauteing, grilling, and braising.
When cooked correctly, the belly will give up a lot of its fat to the flesh hidden below. Keeping the meat juicy and flavorful. The belly can take on the flavors of whatever it is cooked in, and still have the distinct flavor of pork.
