Moronicle, by Tucker Latham

February 18, 2010 in A Front Page Item | No comments

Friend of mine in Texas told me about his morning:

“There was frost on my windshield and I figured, "well, it’s not 20 below, so if I use hot water it won’t freeze."  Went to the Ozarka water dispenser, got about a cup or two of hot water, went to my truck, turned on the wipers and poured.

Now, I had the sense to wait until the wiper was down to pour the water – I didn’t have the sense to intuit what would happen when the wiper went up, so it launched the still-hot water directly into my face / chest.”

Thanks for a good laugh to start my day, Tucker!

MESH Restaurant to Close February 13, 2010

February 9, 2010 in A Front Page Item | No comments

News from the Cincinnati restaurant front… Mesh Restaurant is closing after service on February 13, 2010. Sadly, as this was one of the better non-chain restaurants north of the city.

I’ve been told that the building may be purchased by Eddie Merlots Stone Creek Dining Company, so stay tuned. There may be something good (chain, yes) in that space again.

Paul & Pam Sturkey, former owners of Mesh, have not been involved with Mesh since March 2009.

UPDATE: After conversation with one of the owners, Richard Grow, I’ve learned that the building may be purchased Stone Creek Dining Company and not Eddie Merlots as previously reported.

HAPPY MOUTH – February, 2010

February 9, 2010 in A Front Page Item, Happy Mouth Supper Club | No comments

For February, 2010, Dave & Robin selected Chi-nattis Pizza, and the food was pretty darned good! Deep dish pizzas, Italian beef submarines, fried calamari, and other dishes came (sorta slowly – it takes 30 minutes for a deep dish pie) out of the kitchen.
