Anchor Grill in Covington — HO-scale diorama miniature of the restaurant AI-generated

Anchor Grill

Covington, United States

A cash-only diner on Pike Street in Covington that opened in 1946, the same year the Glier family started making goetta across the street at number 439. Goetta runs through the breakfast menu, from omelettes to the GLT sandwich. Each table has its own jukebox, and a miniature band in a glass case plays along.

Goetta

Goetta

Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky

Goetta is the breakfast meat of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky: ground pork and beef simmered for hours with pinhead oats, onion and bay leaf, set in loaf pans, then sliced and fried. A good slice comes out of the pan with a dark, crisp, pebbly crust and a soft grey-brown inside. Locals eat it with a runny egg, argue about ketchup against syrup, and put it in sandwiches, omelettes and on pizza.
