Top of the list is Skyline Chili! Christine's favorite is the four way with onions or a cheese coney. Tyler is a fan of the chilitos and chili-cheese fries. Their Greek salad is also pretty good. Graeter's Ice Cream is another must-try. They're famous for their Black Raspberry Chip, but we both like their Chocolate Chip. Montgomery Inn is an award-winning barbecue restaurant. The Boathouse is their nicest location along the river near downtown Cincinnati.
This topic deserves it's own section... - Donatos: Christine's favorite pizza ever. Get the pepperoni. - Mio's Pizzeria: Tyler's favorite and where we met. His favorite is the classic pepperoni. - LaRosa's: another Cincinnati classic. Their cheese is pretty delish.
