Go East for Great Burgers

Looking for a great and unusual burger in the Cincy / NKY region, then go to Eastern Ave along the Ohio river to Terry's Turf Club.  The burgers are as unique as the all the old time neon signs that welcome you to Terry's.

Once again the whole family had to experience this landmark.  This small restaurant is always packed but the line moves quick.  We went at 4:30 on a Saturday and it was already busy.

Ciara, Jill and Payton got their soda in a can and a wide selection of beer, wine and liquor all housed in old time refrigarators around the room.  Don't waste your time with a dishwasher because Terry serves on paper plates for fast cleanup.

Sloane and Nina loved all the old time neon signs and the menu is crazy.  Sure you can order a cheeseburger but what you put on it is very interesting.  Jill got a cheesburger with a burgundy wine and mushroom sauce and I went nuts.  A burger with Swiss carmelized onions, all the fixins and a mango/curry sauce.  As Gomer Pyle would say, "Surprise, surprise" because it was awesome.  Jill said it seemed like she was eating a fancy steak sandwich.  I have friends that have gotten the goat cheese or 3 brie cheese on their burgers.  Don't be afraid because it is "Nothing but Good."

Terry's is affordable and friendly for the whole family so get out, explore the area and support your local businesses.

Head back to School for Dinner

The Sturm family headed to Camp Dennison, just outside Cincinnati by Loveland for dinner at the historic, "The Schoolhouse Restaurant."  This is the first 2 story school house in the mid west built in 1863.  It sits on what was a Civil War camp for the Union army.  The history and food is awesome.

Step inside and you are in a time warp of American History.  For over 40 years, the Miller family has operated this "home cookin" restaurant for the community.  Chris Miller will tell you stories as he tends the register.  Look up at the art donated by the class of 1910.

Does anybody recognize this machine? Yes it is an old time cigarette machine.  40 cents a pack!

In the main classroom, you will find the menu on the chalkboard and the lazy susan distributes unlimited salads, bread, vegatables and super awesome corn fritters.  You have to order the fritters with butter and honey.  Fried Chicken and more awaits you with friendly prices.

Get out and support your local businesses.  Abraham Lincoln visited the schoolhouse and so should you.

Is this Alaska

I have customers in Alaska and they did not have this much snow. N KY got 10 inches. Since I had to shovel all of it, I say it was closer to 19 inches. (Guy measuring always adds a few inches). My girls actually dug a tunnel in the snow. Do you realize how much snow you have to get to carve a tunnel?

There is a point to my rant. People in Alaska have learned that snow is a part of life. Life does not stop. I encourage N KY to take a deep breath, realize your kids don't need 3 gallons of milk for one day at home and roll with it. 24 hour news does not mean 24 hour panic.

Here's my advice, stimulate the economy and hire a kid to shovel the driveway.
