Hoggy’s Prime Rib Sandwich I recently went to Hoggy’s over off of Grandview and Fifth Avenues after swearing it off several years ago. My first visit to Hoggy’s left me with the impression of not much food for mucho money. Anyhow, City Barbeque kicked Hoggy’s arse. I went back after receiving an invitation from a [...]

Finerepast, et al., took a trip to Lindey’s in German Village for a little late night soirée (I guess that’s redundant). It was actually a double birthday celebration. Lindey’s is my wife’s favorite restaurant in Columbus. Would it soon become mine as well? Things got off to a great start as another couple that had [...]

La Michoacana Mexican Market and Restaurant Left to fend for myself last night, a friend and I were headed out to Disneyland, err uh, I mean Easton, to pay mucho màs dinero que es necessario for dinner (how’s my Spanish?). Waiting at a light to turn onto Morse Road, there it was – just slightly [...]

A view from Giuseppe’s Italian Ritrovo in Bexley, Ohio I visited Giuseppe’s Ritrovo off of Main Street in Bexley for the second time last night. I was pumped to go back to Giuseppe’s because my first visit there resulted in a very reasonably priced experience. Of course, they comped us the wine that time since [...]

A Short North Sunday – L’Antibes Brunch at L’Antibes is reasonably priced, relaxed and feels really european… a great way to start a lazy Sunday. The price is fixed at $15. Here is a sample of what to expect.Cake Decorating Looking to try something new in 2008, I took a cake-decorating class at Sur la [...]

Valentine’s Day found us at the Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse which is apparently slightly different than the Hyde Park Grille on Old Henderson Road. The Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse is located off of High Street in the Short North. As you can imagine, the place was packed even as early as 6:30 pm for Valentine’s [...]

Korma Bowl at Northstar Cafe in Clintonville, Ohio Being Clintonville based, or thereabouts, as Clintonville is the ever expanding section of Columbus, I found myself at the Northstar Cafe for a bite to eat. Although I find the Northstar to be slightly expensive for what you get, it’s worth it to have a decent place [...]

Won Ton Soup at Windchimes Restaurant I recently visited Windchimes Restaurant in Dublin, Ohio off of Frantz Road for lunch. I started off lunch with their Won Ton soup. I was a little surprised by the yellow broth. I’m used to a clear broth as part of Won Ton soup. Perhaps, I don’t know my [...]

Restaurant: Rosendale’s Columbus Alive – Columbus,OH,USA I’d just danced and jabbed my way through one of the most outrageously fun and unforgettably delicious dinners I’ve had in Columbus in a long while. … Benihana to open at Polaris Bizjournals.com – Charlotte,NC,USA The debut of the Polaris restaurant, the fourth in Ohio for Benihana, is months [...]

Giada’s Everday Italian I recently revisited La Tavola. I hadn’t been back there since last summer. And I really hadn’t planned on being back there again but a friend wanted to meet there and life is about second chances, right? Well, La Tavola or the family table got it right the second time around. I [...]
