Get Your Goetta Game On

Nobody’s questioning our ubiquitous chili, but goetta is a solid runner up for the official foodstuff of the 513 and 859. Most fans are familiar with the pin-head oat and sausage breakfast scrapple courtesy of Covington-based Glier’s, although several butchers sell their own blends (Avril’s, Eckerlin’s, and Stehlin’s just to name a few). In honor of the legions of All-Star Game visitors who will descend upon the city this month, a handful of restaurants will feature goetta specials from July 11 to 14.
