Yum! And not pictured was the garlic bread. I love me some garlic bread. 🙂

Cabana on the River.
After Genifer’s nephew’s football games, we stopped for lunch with Cleve and Alyssa at Cabana on the River…
I ordered the jumbo shrimp dinner and Genifer had the turkey burger with avocado…
Great stuff. Also great were the views of the Ohio River…
It was a fun afternoon. And it’s always great to hang out with Cleve and Alyssa. 🙂

Fifty West Wednesdays.
This morning Genifer dropped me off on her way to work at an all-day brainstorming offsite meeting in out in Mariemont…
Our brainstorming was at The Barn, which is a great place for an offsite meeting just as soon you get over the fact that it’s all the way out in Mariemont…
After the offsite meeting, Genifer picked me up and we went to Fifty West…
Every Wednesday at Fifty West is Burger & Beer Night. You can get a burger and a beer for just $12! Genifer got their BBQ Bacon Burger…
And I got their Mushroom Swiss burger…
Those were some pretty awesome burgers! And really good beers. I couldn’t imagine a better way to wind down a Wednesday when you find yourself out on the east side of town. 🙂

Tickle Pickle.
We walked over to Tickle Pickle on Hamilton Avenue to pick up a couple of burgers to go for dinner tonight…
The burgers weren’t much to look at when we got them home. But they sure were tasty. Genifer had the Bread Zeppelin with a house salad, and I had the Meatallica with a side of smashed potatoes. Really great burgers. 🙂

Django Western Taco.
When we moved into our house, Deskey gave us a $50 gift card to Django Western Taco in Northside as a house warming gift. Just a side note… I work for an amazing company. They’re always doing things like this to make their employees feel special and appreciated. I’ve never worked anywhere else where I’ve felt like part of a family. And I love that. I really love where I work. 😀
Deskey gave us this gift card. And tonight, we put it to good use…
We walked the couple blocks over to Hamilton Avenue and then a few more blocks down Hamilton until we arrived at Django…
The interior of Django from the bar looking back towards the front door…
Turns out Chef Josh Campbell of Mayberry fame took over ownership at the beginning of the year. It was an awesome surprise getting to run into him. It’s a small world. And I’m glad he’s back in town. Here’s the view behind the bar at Django…
Genifer started with a classic margarita and chose to make it a spicy one by adding a bit of habañero puree. She got it about a 3 on a scale of 1 to 5, and it definitely had some heat to it. I got a Miller High Life because I jumped the gun and ordered a beer before hearing about the margaritas…
We started with queso and chips and salsa…
The salsa was really good. And the queso was outstanding. Some quesos arrive as molten cheese and as they cool solidify into a unmanageable, impenetrable brick of cheese. Not this queso. It was perfect from first scoop until the last. And we also ordered some tacos. You have to order tacos…
From left to right, we had the fried chicken taco, carne asda, fried shrimp and carnitas. Genifer like the carne asda and carnitas the best. I like the chicken and shrimp. All were really delicious. We washed down our meal with a round of margaritas. I had a peach with just a splash of the habañero puree and Genifer had another classic, but non-spicy without the puree this time…
Great stuff! And we still have money left on our gift card! When we come back next time, we’re going after the Jerk Chicken Quesadilla. Thanks, Chef Josh. And thank you, Deskey! I see Django qucikly becoming one of our favorite spots in Northside! 🙂

French Fry Heaven.
We were pretty hungry after the FC Cincinnati match, so we walked down Calhoun Street to check out French Fry Heaven for the first time…
French Fry Heaven just opened on University of Cincinnati’s campus back in April and is known for “having divinely inspired loaded fresh cut fries, chicken tenders, baked potatoes and fresh cut chips.”
We both ordered loaded fries because it’s called FRENCH FRY Heaven…
It was surprisingly empty for being a Saturday night right after a soccer game…
Then our number was called and our spuds were ready. Genifer ordered the Chili and Cheese fries…
And I ordered the Buffalo Chicken fries…
It was delicious stuff. The fries were pretty awesome, and there were smothered in toppings as you can see. But we ordered way too much food. Again…
I couldn’t help think while we were eating our delicious loaded spuds that we’ve had something like this before but I couldn’t place it. And then it finally dawned on me. I was eating a bigger, tastier version of FryBox down at Great American Ball Park!
I can definitely see us being back, especially after a FC|C match. Genifer said next time she would just get a small order of fries with cheese sauce dip. I’d really like to try the Taco Loaded Fries or some chicken tenders. See you soon French Fry Heaven. 🙂

#CincyBurgerWeek: Parkers Blue Ash Tavern.
Our second stop for Cincinnati Burger Week was at Parkers Blue Ash Tavern…
Since it was happy hour, we ordered some crisp calamari and banana peppers, cocktail sauce and hickory smoked chicken wings with Parkers barbecue sauce, ranch dressing to start since appetizers were on the cheap…
The calamari was really good and the smoked wings were outstanding…
Parkers burger was incredible 60/40 mix of ground beef and bacon with cheddar cheese and bacon aioli. It was a bacon lovers dream, In fact, it was kind of like death by bacon. And I’m good with that. Genifer said, “It was definitely bacony for sure.”
And it was such a tasty burger! The other items on their menu sounded pretty delicious as well. Next time we find ourselves e’ll definitely be back to Parkers Blue Ash. 🙂

#CincyBurgerWeek: Bistro Grace.
This evening we walked down Hamilton Avenue to kick off our Cincinnati Burger Week at Northside’s Bistro Grace…
Bistro Grace was offering their BW Burger topped with sauteed mushrooms, bacon and white cheddar cheese for just $5!
Bistro Grace is really cute inside. And they have a back patio, which we completely forgot to check out while we were there…
I got a beer, the Braxton Hefewiezen…
Genifer got this spicy cocktail with a jalapeno garnish that was actually really spicy…
We both ordered the BW Burger. We also got sides of mac&cheese and roasted red potatoes. Both were really delicious but the potatoes were just unbelievable…
That burger was just out of this world. Cooked perfectly, great flavor, toasted bun, nothing but pure deliciousness…
Bistro Grace is a pretty great little place. I definitely want to come back and try their dinner menu Grace Burger: Fontina cheese, bourbon shallots, beer battered onion rings, garlic aioli and fries. We’re really loving our new neighborhood.
Thanks Cincinnati Burger Week! 🙂
