What to order at Cincinnati's oldest restaurants 🍽️ | Daily Briefing

Happy Friday, Daily Briefing fans. This is Keith Pandolfi, the food and dining writer for The Enquirer.

It’s no secret I’m a fan of old restaurants. The more battered millwork and antique lighting, the better. Lucky for me, Greater Cincinnati is home to several establishments that are more than a century (and in one case, two centuries) old.

While I thought about making a list of the oldest spots in town, my editor suggested I take it a step further by sharing my favorite dishes to order at each one. They range from a turkey dinner in Lebanon to some of the best fried chicken in Northern Kentucky.
