The chefs, restauranteurs, restaurant workers and barkeeps; those whose livelihoods have been upended and who did everything they could to keep serving and surviving. Welcome to Save Some Room: Cincinnati. Here, we’re talking with those in the local restaurant industry about their persistence in the pandemic and the food that makes their eateries special.
