In the heart of the Over-the-Rhine district of Cincinnati sits Grammer's Restaurant, established in 1872 and in continued operation ever since. It was originally opened up by a German baker. It soon established a reputation for great food and became the home of the German Baker's Singing Society. Don't laugh - the German Baker's Singing Society was very important, and if they sang in your restaurant, you had it made. Grammer's was also a center for important political meetings, and a favorite night spot for famous athletes and musicians. Under the direction of the present owner, Jim Tarbel, Grammer's is better than ever, and still has a culinary core of great German dishes. Example: Sauerbraten with Spaetzle: marinated sweet and sour beef slowly cooked with gingersnaps and served with homemade dumplings.
