Local culture features Cincinnati musician and culinary book recommendations

In Cincinnati, musician Mic. Carr is building community through his musical performances. Originally from Tennessee, Carr moved to the city in early 2020. After navigating the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, he utilized open mic nights to establish himself in the local scene, eventually securing residencies and developing his vision for his band, Mic. Carr & Shades.

In culinary literature, new reading recommendations highlight the intersection of food and history. Sara Paston-Williams’ ‘The Art of Dining’ explores the evolution of food production and dining grandeur from the medieval era through the Victorian and Edwardian periods, featuring historical recipes and modern adaptations. Additionally, Dianne Reeves Angel’s ‘Every Restaurant Tells A Story’ uses autofiction to weave tales of film and culinary misadventures.
