I'm in Cincinnati, and I can remember when Izzy's was pretty good. Then the
old folks died and there was some sort of family feud. They expanded and
then they seemed to disappear. A couple of months ago we decided to have
lunch at their Forrest Park restaurant. We got their "famous" corned beef"
sandwiches and a potato pancake. There were pickles on the table. The food
was crap! There was a small amount of fatty, bland beef on Wonder Bread and
a greasy potato pancake. The pickles weren't anything special. We both ate
our lunch and left without saying a word. Never again!
