Editorial Summary

The creators embark on a take-out only food tour through the Cincinnati area to sample regional specialties. They begin their journey by picking up goetta, a German-inspired dish made of meat and pinhead oats, which they serve with eggs, potatoes, and biscuits. While they find the flavor savory and pleasant, they note the potatoes lacked crispiness due to the food sitting for a while. The tour continues with local sweets from Schneider's Sweet Shop, where they try opera creams and Buckeyes, a peanut butter fudge candy dipped in chocolate. They describe the Buckeyes as the standout treat of the trip. After visiting a scenic lookout at Fairview Park, the creators conclude their tour with a chili showdown between two local staples, Skyline Chili and Gold Star Chili. They explain the different ways to order Cincinnati chili, such as a three-way, four-way, or five-way. While they find the Skyline chili to be highly flavorful with spiced notes, they prefer the extra heat and spice provided by the Gold Star option. They conclude that both chili varieties were surprisingly good despite the messy experience of eating in their car.

Creator's Key Takeaways

we've been cooped up as everyone has been for the past couple months and stainless family is fun but we kind of wanted to get a break from it and switch things up

this is so good it's got so much more peanut butter - the ratio of chocolate which we love peanut butter so for us that is awesome

we have been pleasantly blown away by the food here today
