The Milders Inn of Fairfield, Ohio - Teri Horsley - Bog

Mom Milder's "Best in the Middle West" fried chicken drew crowds of regular andfamous folk alike to her Fairfield establishment for decades until it closed after World War II. Nororious ganster John Dillinger stopped in for a bite while on the lam, but Mom made sure he removed his hat inside the building just like everyone else. Hal of Famer Ernie Lombardi of the Cincinnati Reds was a regular, mingling with fans at the inn. Today, the family still serves up theoriginal fried chicken recipe every week at Ryan's Tavern in Hamilton.
