This is relating to the culture of Cincinnati, Ohio.
 Cincinnati's German heritage is evidenced by the many eateries that specialize in schnitzels and hearty Bavarian cooking.
 "Cincinnati chili" is "one of this nation's most distinctive regional plates of food,": 247  according to national food writers Jane and Michael Stern.  It is a Mediterranean-spiced meat sauce served over spaghetti or hot dogs  at several chains such as Skyline Chili, Gold Star Chili, Empress Chili, and Dixie Chili plus independents such as Camp Washington Chili.  The chili is best appreciated not in a bowl, as one would with the chunkier, "Tex-Mex" chili, but rather, as a sauce to cover a plate of spaghetti, covered in shredded cheddar cheese (3-way), the latter with onions or beans (4-way) or with both (as a 5-way), all topped off with oyster crackers and to some, hot sauce.  It can also be placed on top of a hot dog in a steamed bun with mustard and onions, and topped with cheddar cheese (referred to as a cheese coney).
 Findlay Market is the oldest continuously operated public market in the state of Ohio.
 Goetta is a meat-and-grain sausage or mush of German inspiration that is popular in the greater Cincinnati area. It is primarily composed of ground meat (pork, or pork and beef), pin-head oatmeal and spices formed into a loaf and then sliced and fried, often in butter, "to a melt-in-the-mouth tenderness."
 Graeter's is a regional chain of ice cream parlors that also sells baked goods and candies. It was founded by Louis "Charlie" and Regina Graeter, husband-and-wife immigrants from Bavaria, in 1870, and grew into a chain under Regina's leadership following her husband's death. The Graeter family still runs the chain, which has spread beyond the Cincinnati area with chain-owned and franchised locations in several regional metropolitan areas, plus one store on the Las Vegas Strip. Pints of the ice cream are also sold in grocery stores in all U.S. states except Hawaii and the Dakotas.
 Oprah Winfrey is a fan of Graeter's and caused sales to skyrocket when she raved about the ice cream on her show.

 Cincinnati was home to three of the eight Mobil 5-star rated restaurants in the United States in the 1960s; at the time, New York City had two. By 1986 Cincinnati had two 5-star Mobil restaurants, Pigall's and The Maisonette; it was one of only a few cities with two restaurants with the rating.
 Pigall's was another Mobil 5-star restaurant. When Jean-Robert at Pigall's closed in 2009, it had earned five consecutive 4-star Mobil ratings and was the only Mobil 4-star restaurant in the tri-state area surrounding Greater Cincinnati.
 Wine Spectator recognized 15 area restaurants for the excellence of their wine lists, including two at the "Best Award of Excellence" level, Jeff Ruby's Carlo & Johnny and Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse.
 Until 2005, when the restaurant closed, the Maisonette carried the distinction of being Mobil Travel Guide's longest running five-star restaurant in the country. It received Mobil's highest rating for 41 consecutive years, more than any other restaurant in North America. The former Maisonette's chef de cuisine, Jean-Robert de Cavel, has opened several restaurants in the area since leaving The Maisonette. Jean-Robert's Table opened in 2010, French Crust in 2012, and Le Bar a Boeuf in 2014.
 The Gourmet Room, on the rooftop of the Terrace Plaza Hotel, was another 5-star Mobil restaurant in the 1970s.
