Weekend of Fire 2012: Pre-Show Diary

Upon my arrival to the hotel after my 8 1/2 hour drive, I suddenly found myself back in the car. Destination was a late night dinner at Terry’s Turf Club in Cincinnati. This was a restaurant Guy Fieri showcased on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, and a place Johnny from HBD’s visited last year. So delighted by the gourmet burger he had, Johnny convinced a few of us to take the 45 minute journey to try it out. Flashy with neon lights and olde tyme signage the place had a certain allure that made you curious to eat there.

In our party besides Johnny and his cousin Steve, were Kat & Jeremy of Bigfats, Joe & Linda of thehotzoneonine.com, Jen the Sauce Goddess, and myself. You can see by the pics that the food was very good. I got the “Not So Wellington” Burger which was a Swiss & Pate Burger in a crispy croissant bun. Very good.

Once we got back we met up with CaJohn & Doehne from Deano’s Jalapenos in the hotel lobby. Talked into the wee hours of the night. I can’t wait for tomorrow. Until then…
