Cincinnati Chili & Coney Crawl - May 9, 2009 - The Trip Report - Updated Part #2

CajunKing,
Where was the Graeter's that you went to or do they all have the pastries like a cheese crown.?
That was a Graet report.

good for you, Bob.I look forward to meeting you, finally!

all graeters that have a bakery counter (and i *think* all of them in Cincinnati do) have cheese crowns

until they run out

so go early, eh?

Seeing Graeter's with a bakery counter is a bit of a novelty to me.  I have probably stopped at Graeter's more often in the Columbus area, especially the Grove City store, and had not seen a bakery counter before. 

Some of the bakeries are bigger than others but the only Graeter's in the Cincy area that I've been to tht doesn't have a bakery counter is the one at Kings Island.

I read the first page and saw the pics and thought how great and then a question popped into my head, what the hell is a "coney" then I went to the next pages thinking I would find an answer but lo and behold the only thing I found was the most DISGRACEFUL and ABSOLUTELY INAPPROPRIATE CARICATURE of George Washington, that photo has NO place on this web site and before you get all liberal free speech on me remember you invited this by the simple fact you put it here, the picture is disgraceful as is the person that published it and forget about my feelings for that s%^t town. Signed a PROUD VET.

I guess we will agree to disagree, since I am the disgraceful person who posted the picture.

The answer to your question:

a "coney" or coney island hot dog is a hot dog on a bun, covered in chili and cheese.

In Cincinnati you can get them with mustard and onion and they are delicious.

Top shelf report and pictures. WOW. I do not know how y'all put away that much chow in one day.

CK, Really good report.  I enjoyed the food selections and pictures.   

Here's a photo of some of the Cincinnati chili gang...

Kindly get over yourself, Mr. exsquidao.  Far worse caricatures of public figures appear in newspapers around the world on a daily basis.  The photo was of a publicly-displayed mural, with a meaning that is relevant to its location, as explained above.  I can't imagine what you would find disgraceful about it, but your reaction was over the top, and more offensive to me than the photo could ever be.  Also, please keep your comments about my hometown to yourself.  Being a "PROUD VET" has nothing to do with it...you sir, are out of line.  Your comment spoils an otherwise wonderful thread.

As a pround veteran I rejoice in the fact that we veterans have helped make sure that a campy portrait of our first Commander in Chief could hang freeely in a place named Camp Washington. I can't help wondering, though, how come the artist didn't show the lipstick that the general always wore when he went into drag mode.
