I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
There are certain regions of the country that come to mind when conjuring up visions of delicious barbecue: the South, of course, and also places like Kansas City and Texas. But Ohio? Not so much. However, we’re on a mission to change that, because the Buckeye State is a bonafide barbecue hotspot! And in Ohio, Montgomery Inn is one of the best in the state, serving up crave-worthy barbecue since 1951.
Located in the charming little town of Montgomery, Ohio, there is a restaurant with a legendary barbecue reputation.
The legendary eats begin before your meat arrives. Order an appetizer of saratoga chips, hand-cut daily from the finest grade jumbo Idaho potatoes. Get a side of barbecue sauce for dipping... trust us on this one!
Montgomery Inn's barbecue sauce is a cult favorite in Cincinnati. Smooth and sticky-sweet, it's unlike any other barbecue sauce in the country, and wholly unique to Ohio!
Montgomery Inn's ribs are in a league of their own. Hot and fall-off-the-bone tender, slathered in sauce, you'll most definitely want to accept your server's offer of a bib!
If you prefer your BBQ on a bun, you can't go wrong with the classic pulled pork sandwich. Slow-smoked pork swimming in sweet, sweet sauce... it's a total taste bud explosion!
