It was nice meeting you . . .

a few weeks ago in Cincinnati. I am the lawyer (this place is crawling with them, stay away!) that your host waved over to your dinner table. I just stopped in here to apologoze for interrupting your meal.

[Jeffrey Steingarten]

Absolutely no need for apologies. I met lots of interesting people on my book-signing trip through Ohio, and I ate very well in Cincinatti. I regret only not being able to try the chili in northern Kentucky and the BBQ at one place in Cincinatti.

[Jason Perlow]

Jeffrey, is Cincinatti a big food town? What did you eat there?

[Bill Klapp]

I believe that the question, properly phrased, is: "How many "ways" did you have your chili?"

The chili in Northern Kentucky would probably have been Dixie Chili -- one of the old line of the makers of Cincinnati's odd -- to most people not from here -- chili. BBQ, hmmmm? The most well known is a rib restaurant that does a very high volume of boiled ribs in a sugar and catsup sauce. Can you tell that I am not a huge fan?
