About Cincinnati Bites

Most people get it. Despite the site name's double entendre, I'm not about dissing Cincinnati.

I'm a transplant, a Cincinnati import, born and raised somewhere well north of here. One of the first things friends said to me when I told them I was moving to Cincinnati was, "Why? It's so conservative, so backwards —there's nothing to do there. Cincinnati bites."

They are mostly wrong. Mostly.

There are plenty of things to do; there are plenty of sights to see; there are mounds of food to eat. Cincinnati's culinary options are especially diverse: most major immigrant groups are represented in one form or another. Heck, even the chili is heavily steeped in Greek tradition.

Cincinnati does not suck. And we're out to prove it, one bite at a time.
