Since 1990 The Best of Cincinnati, Inc. has offered a simple alternative, by presenting to you an exclusive assortment of the finest quality products produced by businesses in Cincinnati. The collection features Cincinnati delicacies that have been selected to exemplify the culinary traditions which have made Cincinnati famous.
Our company was founded as collaboration between a University of Cincinnati student Edward J. Imm and his professor Dr. Ronald J. Dornoff. The concept came to be as many local restaurants entered the grocery store market by bottling or canning such famous Cincinnati products such as Montgomery Inn BBQ Sauce, Skyline Chili, and Gold Star Chili. Mr. Imm presented a business plan as a class project to bring local products together in gift baskets and boom the company was off and running.
Over the years the company has had many expansions into new products and new markets. As Cincinnati has added new restaurants and new venues so has The Best of Cincinnati, Inc. Interestingly, Mr. Imm vowed as a student to someday enter the world of education to “pay back” what he had learned in his many years in business assuming all went well. After 28 years of the good, the bad, and the ugly of the business world Mr. Imm is an adjunct business instructor at The University of Cincinnati in the Carl H. Lindner College of Business.
