CINCINNATI

A food critic for the New Yorker magazine has thrown a morsel this way.  In her published list of the best things she ate in the decade of the 2010s, she included a sandwich from the Anchor Grill right across the river in Covington, Kentucky.

The Anchor is a diner, a 24/7 diner that has been serving hash since who knows when.  Now it sits right there on paper surrounded by restaurants in New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, a city in Turkey and Copenhagen.

Oh yes!  The Sandwich was a GLT!  The rest of the world, except for those English speakers in Germanic countries, may not know what that is.  In Cincinnati, it is of course, a Goetta, Lettuce and Tomato sandwich.  Goetta being our beloved concoction of pin-head oats, ground pork and beef, and a few spices.  You eat it like a sausage fried on a flat grill that turns into a mush depending how crisp you like it.  Usually, it is a breakfast food.  You're not likely to find it anywhere outside of greater Cincinnati.  Too bad for the rest of the world.

Oh yes, go any time, they're always open.
