I have been coming to Cincinnati for over 17 years, to teach at
CooksWares. Last fall friends took me to
Jungle Jim's a Culinary Disneyland in the suburbs of Northern Cincinnati. I fell in love; this place is as big as an airplane hanger, and filled with EVERYTHING you can imagine. If I lived here, I would be thanking my lucky stars that I was able to shop here. Instead of my waxing poetically about it, here are some photos from this mornings' shopping trip.

| This is the butter bar, more butter than you can possibly imagine! |
|
 |
| The amount, variety and types of butter were mind boggling! |
|
 |
| Be still my heart; a wall of blue cheese! |
|
 |
| Prices are pretty amazing! |
|
 |
| Sharing the goodness of Sumo mandarins with the rest of the country! |
|
 |
| Crazy wine holders and lots of housewares | | | | | | | | | | |
|
 |
| Nutella without the nuts, British style |
|
 |
| Asian food, complete with tuk-tuk |
|
 |
| 4 aisles of hot sauces |
|
 |
| Adult oriented hot sauces | | |
|
 |
| Traditionally made Balsamico by Pedroni |
|
 |
| If you are buying $5 balsamic, it's not balsamic---traditionally aged is $199.99 here |
|
 |
| A wall of hummus above the olive bar |
|
 |
| Yes, it is Ohio! |
|
 |
| more cheese |
|
 |
| small area of the wine section |
|
 |
| and cigars |

I will admit to being lost a few times, but all in all this is a great destination, and if you are in the mid-west, make the trip--it's amazing. Wish we had one in San Diego. I'm on the road again tomorrow headed to West Lafayette, IN to teach this week at
KitchenArt. I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
