May 17, 200719 yr If you want to try the local delicacy, and be true to your KY roots, go for Dixie Chili -- It's a lot better, and is NKY's own! :thumb: O jeez, I think I just reignited the chili war. :creepy: :banana:
May 17, 200719 yr Go on over to the Hoffbrahaus and order up 2 BIG Premiums and tell us how it makes you feel. Thats all you have to say is "I'd like a Big Premium please". Take two and let us know in the morning.
May 17, 200719 yr I'm an outsider, but I was up there at our branch office last week and discovered that they opened a Dickey's Barbecue Pit (looked to be rahter recent) in West Chester. It's on Union Centre Blvd. near the Raffertys. It is a chain but IMO the food is pretty good. I am familiar with them from time spent in Texas where it is pretty popular. It more of a Texas style barbecue so it is a little different than what we have down in Owensboro. No mutton, but plenty of brisket. I would suggest that anyone who likes barbecue should give them a try. If it helps you decide, I'm a big fan of Famous Daves. I tried Montgomery Inn once, and while it was very good, I don't see what all the hype is about. I think I can get ribs just as good for less somewhere else. Dickey's Menu

Both are within about 1/2 block of our office. Personally I can't really tell much difference between the two, but my opportunities to eat it are few and far between.

Next time you have the opportunity, give Dixie a try. I guarantee you will like it better. The main difference between Skyline and Goldstar is that Goldstar is a little spicier.
May 17, 200719 yr Next time you have the opportunity, give Dixie a try. I guarantee you will like it better. The main difference between Skyline and Goldstar is that Goldstar is a little spicier. I'll keep an eye out for one. They must not be nearly as plentyful as Skyline and Goldstar. Our office is on Reed Hartman in Blue Ash up near 275. Any around there?

Any around there?No, unlike the other two, Dixie only has three locations. They do, however (like the other two) sell their chili in cans at many regional supermarkets. Dixie Chili Locations 733 Monmouth Street, Newport 2421 Madison Avenue, Covington 3716 Dixie Highway, Erlanger

Skyline is so much more convenient for us, I had almost forgotton Dixie. Definately the best, though I wouldnt turn any of them down!:thumb:
May 17, 200719 yr Do you know when you're coming up yet? I will be anxious to hear your report on our fine area. Try to go to Devou Park in Covington if you want a spectacular view of downtown Cincy. Just a pretty place to sit and veg.....
May 18, 200719 yr Author Don't know yet, But I plan to do some damage to some menus at these places you guys are telling me about...
June 8, 200719 yr Ok Admiral! We gave you all these wonderful choices and no report back to us! Where did you go? What did you do? What did you like or dislike?

June 8, 200719 yr The Admiral clan will be heading north soon to visit the inlaws. My boys and I are planning to have some fun before we get there, and start are being bored contest. My inlaws live about 2 minutes from the bridge when you cross over into Cincinnati. How far is the zoo from the bridge? Last time up I also got to go to Traders world flea market. (I think I remember the way to it from Cincinnati). I also remember the White Castle in Covington by the bridge. Also who has the best BBQ up that way, is it the Montgomery Inn? BTW when you see a vehicle heading south pulling a cannon, a Horse, and a Tiger It's me.:lol: So you did the flea market and White Castles? I think that pretty much covers it. How can life get any better?
