On our way home from a start-to-finish amazing vacation, we stayed overnight in Cincinnati. I'd never been, and I was not expecting much. But wow... I loved it! It's all compact and urban, but kinda in the middle of rolling hills and lush countryside. And, in my world, the best way to gauge a city is by their diners. Terry's fancy phone led us to Tucker's. It was amazing and delicious and cheap. And there was a nice mixture of tattoo-covered hipsters and thugs and fat foodies eating there. And the owner (Tucker) was so nice. And his 90 year old mother made our breakfast over a cast iron skillet in the back with a cigarette dangling out of her mouth. (I just ruined any chances of my mother stepping foot in there.) And the huevos rancheros changed my life.
Prepare yourself for lots of pictures from lots of other places we visited. (We don't get out of the tri-state area much, so we think everything that is not the dirty south is amazing.)

Sounds awesome and yummy! Can't wait to see more pics. We don't get out of Mississippi much anymore, so y'all are way ahead on the traveling bit.
And now I"m starving.
Who doesn't like a little Pall Mall ash in their huevos?
You make it look so glamorous! Come back and be my neighbor please. (And again, why did I not take photos??)
Glad you enjoyed brief stay in Cincy where I spent 4 great years. Wish you could have stayed longer and enjoy what they're famous for: Cincinnati Chili (spaghetti with beef chili seasoned with cinammon), nuclear barbecue that blisters your lips and great local beers like Strohs and Schoenling. It's an old German town and their culture is fun. Wish I could have been with you! But, so glad you had fun and are home safely. Anxiously awaiting lots of photos!
