Welcome to the north side of Kentucky! As a Kentucky farm girl, I'd never heard of goetta. A guy I worked with at my 1st job, Cincinnati Gas & Electric (now part of Duke), named Hemmpelman, explained the process, since he was making his own that weekend. It was still years before I consumed the delicacy! Love it, fried crisp, served with eggs for breakfast. Enjoy your life here in the tri-state. You'll love it! The Alexandria Fair starts August 28th, after the parade, & concludes on Labor Day. We invite you to come enjoy the cattle barns, the food, & the top notch horse shows. Welcome!

The original goetta with the spare parts? Probably not for me. Modern interpretation? Delicious.

Originally I pushed for Kentucky, as I've never lived there, but worked for Geoff Davis before he retired. And am a Kentucky Colonel. But we live pretty close. I am excited to take them to all the neat spots in N. Ky. Appreciate the welcome!

Welcome home! Goetta & Cincinnati chili are just the things to make you feel settled. Next up you’ll need a goetta omelette or biscuits & gravy topped with goetta.

Goetta + Swiss cheese + rye bread = delicious
