What a wonderful show! Wish I'd have known about these places when I was working down there as a young man. Looks woundabar! My father's side came here from Upper Bavaria on a pink called the, " John & William" in 1728! Took possession of three counties worth of land too. Never saved any for me, though...
My wife and I lived in Wuerzburg and Kitzingen, then West Germany for about 8 year. We were civilians running restaurants and clubs for the then based in Germany 3rd Infantry Division. Heavens, did we fall in love with the German culture. the people, the food, the beer, the wine, the traditions and the Volkmarches! Your video on the German heritage of Cincinnati has rekindled my interest in visiting German Market area on a weekend in the near future, as I am a native Daytonian. My Grand Uncle was a German named Lawrence Miller, who had a bakery in Miamisburg, Ohio where the operation for the famous Miamisburg Hamburger Wagon is based now in the heart of downtown. I also remember a great brewing tradition in Cincinnati that surely went back further than Schoenling. Burger, Hudepohl and Wiedemann beers. Thanks for making this video. My Kentucky roots through my maternal grandmother from McKee, Kentucky have made a fan for some time of your programs. Keep up the good work, please, Wish you and your lovely wife, Nikki, all the best ion the future! Steve and Connie Lambert, Pataskala, Ohio
Thank you (Danke) for making this and posting. I love different cultural regions in American and the Pidgeon cultures they create, like Cajun, German-American, Africa-American, Irish and Scottish. My ancestry is German, but from New York and Pennsylvania, so this is a little different, but still "comfort food" for me!
Very much enjoyed this video. Born in Covington in the late 40s, and grew up in Cincinnati/Northern Ky during the 50s and 60s. Family is German/English, mostly German. I'm retired in Florida now. Miss the authentic Cincinnati chili and German food, and of course the local beer. Great job on the video. I gave it a thumbs up and subscribed to your channel. Thanks!
That was incredible. The food looked so wonderful, wish I could have been there to help sample the foodstuff. Great history lesson of where German people settled and how they kept their culture true. Wonderful stories. Thanks for sharing with us. Another great video.
Goetta? sounds like scrapple, the pork scraps and cornmeal formed into a loaf, this was made by German Immigrants in SE Pennsylvania since the 18th century. My grandmother remembers making it in a big copper kettle over an open fire cooked for 2 days, whenever a hog was slaughtered on the farm, she said they put in everything, head, feet, knuckles, organs yummmmm
Stumbled on your channel at 6 am....myself being of German decent, and a Professional Chef, this really caught my attention.... And yes, Goetta exists outside of Cincinnati- my grandmother made it at home in Detroit... Nice Video!
