Churros in Cincinnati

Everyone needs to get to Cincinnati, go to Nada, and order these churros asap.  I realize this picture looks like it's meat, but it was the right amount of crunchiness/crispiness:doughiness:sugar:cinnamon.  I've had churros from Rick Bayless' XOCO, and they tasted like broken left over morsel chips at the bottom of a cheap vending machine chip bag.  Nada's churros were scolding hot & fresh and reminded me of Cafe Du Monde beignets, but not quite.

This was one of the best tres leches I've had.  I usually hate tres leches because of its heavy nature, but this was savory and light.  Oh, and I quickly realized that all things from Madisono rocks.  It is just dreamy...

Madisono will be a stop on my list next time I'm in that area.  It was delish.  I actually had to put my dirty napkin in it so I would stop eating it.

The cheesecake was like any other cheesecake, but a little airier and of course, lime-er.  I typically like the heavy thick cheesecake, but the airiness was a nice change of pace.  I have no clue what mascerated berries are, and I don't recall any mascerated-ness in this dessert.

Did I mention the churros?  I have plenty of other pictures of it...it was like taking pictures of a first born.  Or something like that.
