This place was well known during the 70's and 80's as one of the best steak joints in NKY/Greater Cincinnati.

 

David Hosea, local businessman and real estate investor purchased it a few years ago.

 

Here is a recent picture as it was being torn down.

That stinks.

It was a unique place but I definitely understand why it was torn down. Someone needs to get the recipes and do a "Walt's". I would love to have some of that fried eggplant again.

Apparently I read where they found 69 dead rats in the walls.

Saw that on my way home today. Sad.

Barely corns on 1998 in Cold Spring has the recipe and has the fried egg plant and its good.

:thumb: Is it only at that Barleycorns?

I know Sweeperboy has a "tail" or two from the ole F&N.

Any idea what Hosea plans to do with the land?

Hate that the place closed down. Never saw prime rib come in servings that size before. And I used to not care for eggplant until going there.

It will definitely be weird going down Route 8 not seeing the building any more. I went there pretty often when it was open and wasn't happy when it closed.

That's the only place I have seen it. Heard the owner bought the recipe from F&N. not sure if its at any other barelycorns.

F&N'S EGGPLANT -- Cut eggplant in thumb size strips. Put eggplant into milk then roll in extra fine cracker meal. Repeat one time. Deep fry till golden brown. When done sprinkle with Lawry's seasoned salt. Serve with cocktail sauce.

 

Recipe from a former cook as taken from a recent FB post.

Best prime rib I ever had.

I have great memories of that place! I remember they had ton of liquor decanters all over the place. I wonder what happened to those?
