Rookwood Pottery Kiln Lunch

My birthday was last week and after spending a few days in Kentucky doing research I had the pleasure of having lunch at The Rookwood restaurant in Cincinnati, Ohio. The restaurant is housed in the former Rookwood Pottery factory

Where was my table? INSIDE OF A KILN! The meal was fantastic and reasonably priced. The flavors were great, and they had a very tasty Goetta, a Cincinnati German tradition.

Kiln furniture!

Having tables in the kilns gives a whole new meaning to kiln furniture! The updraft bottle kilns have fantastic acoustics.

Here are a few more photos from the restaurant:
