Senate duck-fat fries are the OTR gastropub signature: hand-cut fries cooked in duck fat and tossed with fresh rosemary, served alongside craft hot dogs at Daniel Wright's Senate.

Dan and Lana Wright opened Senate in OTR in 2010, helping reset Cincinnati's restaurant tier after the 2003 unrest. The duck-fat fries, tossed with fresh rosemary, became a viral early signature alongside the lobster bisque and craft hot dogs. The original Vine Street room closed during the pandemic and Senate returned to OTR at 1538 Race Street, where the duck-fat fries are still on the menu unchanged.
