I'd like to take the time to give props to an outstanding vegetarian dish, the kind of thing that makes me believe that I could (one day, theoretically) do the whole vegetarian thing without going into withdrawal. It's G. Michael's Roasted Spaghetti Squash Pancake, and it's the best thing I ate all week.
Goetta is one of those regional delicacies that means very little to outsiders, but it’s a taste of home to someone who ate it growing up. First things first: it’s pronounced “get-uh.” As the sign says at The Diner in Powell: “The O is silent, until you try it.”
I will admit I drove right on by the Crest a couple times before finally mustering the courage to stop in. The crowds have been insane since the former dive bar reopened in its new gastropub incarnation at the end of April, with lines waiting outside just about any time of day.
As its name indicates, the new Pint House Beer Garden is, for the most part, all about the beer. But there is a food menu, and I quite enjoyed pairing some nibbles with a couple beers during a happy hour there earlier this week.
Summer feels so tantalizingly close, despite temperatures over the past couple of days that had me turning on my heat at home. Happily, I forgot all about the chilly temperatures while sampling a few drinks from Curio's new summer list.
During a quick jaunt to Hocking Hills over the weekend, my traveling companions and I found ourselves famished after a morning hike. We wanted to try something authentic to the area, and we definitely found it in Jack’s Steakhouse.
Seventh Son Brewery continues to find new ways to delight. Not only is the Italian Village bar now tapping its own fantastic brews, they're also now offering brunch on Saturdays via That Food Truck.
It's that in-between time of year when a lot of restaurants haven't yet switched over from their fall/winter menus to their spring/summer ones. So I'm recommending Due Amici's gloriously decadent mac and cheese as a try-it-while-you-can treat.
There's a neat new dining component to this year's Decorators Show House, a Columbus Museum of Art fundraiser that showcases the work of local interior designers. Dine Originals Columbus has partnered with the event to throw elegant outdoor dinners catered by local restaurants at the Bexley mansion chosen as this year's Show House.
When Flip Side first opened at Easton last summer, I found myself heading there fairly frequently for a burger and milkshake. I was happy to see on a recent visit that they've beefed up the non-burger portion of the menu.
