Really good stuff!

Seriously?!

We were out running a errands today, and Target already had Valentine’s Day stuff out…

The day after Christmas and they’ve already moved on to the next holiday. :/

Christmas evening.

We watched Christmas movies and snacked on the world’s finest meats and cheeses…

Foggy Christmas Eve.

Great American Tower
It’s a foggy Christmas Eve morning in downtown Cincinnati.

Happy National Hamburger Day.

Today is National Hamburger Day. So I went to Local’s and got a Local’s Burger
Local's Sports Bar and Grill
Happy National Cheeseburger Day! I'm eating mine @LocalsBarGrill. #Yum
But I messed it all up because I accidentally got a cheeseburger. Doh! Oh well. ๐Ÿ™‚

We got a dusting of snow this morning.

Just a little bit.

Quan Hapa.

Tonight, we walked up to the Gateway Quarter in OtR to check out the soft opening
of a new little Asian gastropub called Quan Hapa. It’s owned by the same guys that
blessed Cincinnati with the deliciousness that is Pho Lang Thang at Findlay Market.
Ironically, Quan Hapa is just across the street from Kaze, the other new OtR Asian joint.
Quan Hapa
To say that the place is not big would be an understatement. We made sure to get
there early to get a seat at the bar. The rest of the seating was family style…

The place was starting to fill up pretty quick…
Quan Hapa
We ordered a couple of of their steamed bun sliders…

We ordered the Hapa Sliders…
Quan Hapa
Pulled pork with yuzu+blood orange marmalade, pickled onions and fried egg.
And we ordered the Spider Sliders…
Quan Hapa
Soft shell crab with miso aioli, picked onions and wakame. And why yes, our sliders do
seem to have legs. There was a whole crab split between the two sliders, legs and all.
Quan Hapa
Both sliders were absolutely delicious. Amazing flavors.

And after eating our sliders, we were stuffed. We were hoping to their Okonomiyaki,
or Japanese pancakes served with Japanese mayo, bacon and egg but it wasn’t going
to happen on this trip. But now we have something to look forward for next time.
Quan Hapa
Quan Hapa is yet another wonderful addition to the Gateway Quarter in OtR.
