Channel 9's Meal Madness took sixty-four Cincinnati-area restaurants and pitted them against each other to find the most popular restaurant in the area.
And they got it probably right.
But if they were going for the best restaurant, they got it most certainly wrong.
Let's break the restaurants into groups...
Places I've been and love...
- Senate - getting knocked out by Taste of Belgium in round 2 is a crime.
- Terry's Turf Club - A 1st-round loser? Tragedy
- Knotty Pine on the Bayou - At least this one made it to the final four.
- Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse - Way, way better than Embers which knocked it out.
- Eli's BBQ - Another crime that it lost in the 1st round.
- Bakersfield - At least it lost to Knotty Pine. I'm okay with that.
- Taqueria Mercado - I wonder if this is the one in Fairfield (my preference) or the one downtown.
