I had the pleasure of dining at Cameron Mitchell’s Steakhouse in Columbus, Ohio recently. I always enjoy a fine steak. My companion and I started off the meal with the escargot appetizer selection.

I often enjoy eating at the Taj Palace in Hilliard, Ohio for their fine lunch buffet. Nothing like Indian buffet and a hot cup of chai on a cold wintry day. Mind you, the lunch fare’s spiciness has been toned down to attract the large, American crowds but the chai runs freely. [...]
