CINCINNATI, Ohio — Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, who is in Los Angeles with his family to cheer on the Bengals, has placed a Super Bowl wager with his counterpart in California, Gov. Gavin Newsom.
DeWine is wagering the following Cincinnati favorites:
- Steaks and seasoning from Jeff Ruby’s
- Ribs from the Montgomery Inn
- Goetta and bratwurst from Queen City Sausage
- Potato Chips from Grippo’s
- Chocolates from Maverick Chocolate Company
Additionally, First lady Fran DeWine will send Newsom her Bengals buckeye brownies if Ohio pays the wager out.
If the Bengals defeat the Rams on Sunday, Newsom will pay out “some of California’s world class agricultural offerings.”
DeWine said is excited by the Bengals’ thrilling playoff run and Super Bowl appearance.
“This friendly bet highlights some of Cincinnati’s most iconic foods and restaurants that everyone across Ohio and across the U.S.A. should know about and enjoy,” he added.
