Pie-maker gets his pizza hand ready again

Wednesday, June 4, 2008

By Gary Seman Jr.

This Week News

 

Bill Yerkes is at it again.  After a brief hiatus from making traditional Napoli-style pizzas, Yerkes is again ready to put a pie in your face.

 

Yerkes is subletting Eleni-Christina Bakery in the evenings for his latest pizza enterprise, bonoTOGO (as in “to go”) — just in time for the Gallery Hop on Saturday.  Although the place’s address is 641 N. High St., the storefront actually faces Russell Street, about 60 feet west of the main drag.

Former High Street Wendy's getting Latin makeover

Friday, June 13, 2008

by Dan Eaton

Business First of Columbus

 

Sam Horner told Columbus Business First when he and his father bought the old Wendy's on High Street in Columbus two years ago that he hoped it could be turned into a restaurant with a Due Amici feel.  He'll get his wish.

 

Horner, a real estate appraiser, is teaming up with Jeff Mathes, the owner of Due Amici in the city, to open a Latin eatery there by fall.  Mathes said Barrio will cater to the same high-end casual crowd as Due Amici, his Italian restaurant on Gay Street, but with a South American flair.

Donatos upgrading area restaurants

Thursday, June 19, 2008 

By Monique Curet

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

 

Donatos will spend $5 million this year to convert company-owned stores in central Ohio to its new look.  The new design features an open kitchen, which allows employees to greet customers right away, and a smaller dining area.  The design is a departure from the larger restaurants the company was building when it was under the ownership of McDonald’s Corp., which sold Donatos back to the founding family in late 2003.  Donatos has 51 company-owned stores in central Ohio, and a handful already have been upgraded.

Five Guys planning 20 local restaurants

Saturday, June 21, 2008

By Monique Curet

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

 

A burger joint known for its pared-down menu and rave reviews plans to open 20 restaurants in central Ohio in the next three or four years.  Five Guys Burgers and Fries offers just four main menu items: burgers, hot dogs, veggie or grilled-cheese sandwiches and french fries. The restaurants have been included in the venerable Zagat food guides and have earned kudos in many other publications.

Deep Wood review at Columbus Alive

Already in Deep

By G.A. Benton

June 26, 2008

 

My evidence is paltry yet overwhelming.  But if my raw restaurant numbers are lacking — open two nights and six dishes tried — my cooked results were prodigiously delicious.  Aiming for an accommodating setting, DeepWood has heavily overhauled the former Abbracci space.  Now the place is bright and open, with lots of blond wood, windows overlooking the Greek Cathedral, a striking oak plank floor and a dramatic mid-room dome that integrates weight-bearing function with foresty form.  The dome is painted like the canopy of a great woodland tree, and it separates the tavern area from the dining room.

Delaware's Brown Jug restaurant closes doors

Monday, July 7, 2008 - 6:16 PM

By NATE ELLIS

ThisWeek Staff Writer

 

The Brown Jug restaurant - a downtown Delaware fixture since 1946 - went out of business Monday.  Officials from Columbus-based Hoggy's Restaurant and Catering on Monday confirmed their first Delaware restaurant will open at the site in August.  Following "light" renovations, Hoggy's officials said, their establishment would replace the Brown Jug Restaurant at 13 W. William St.

 

"The Brown Jug owners, Bill (Stroud) and Ed (Wolf), have decided they're going to hang up their shoes and have graciously decided to sell us the business," said Karen Lipps, Hoggy's marketing director.  "Hoggy's is not going to be the owner of the building ... but it is our plan to own the business.  After the 15th of August, we plan to open the restaurant as a Hoggy's."

Bar of Modern Art breaks with its past

Friday, July 11, 2008

By Dan Eaton, Business First of Columbus

 

The Bar of Modern Art opened in 2006 touting exclusivity and promising a big-city nightclub, right down to the velvet rope and a doorman's discerning eye on potential patrons.  Two years later, its original management has been shown the door.

 

Investors took control of the downtown Columbus nightspot late last year and have spent the past six months repositioning the business from its original concept as a club that hosts events to an event space that happens to be a club.

 

"The previous management did not understand what we as experienced businesspeople know.  Which is, it takes more than a club," said investor Bret Adams.  "The club is the gravy now, the profit margin.  We'll pay our bills with events and the restaurant."

Piano bar coming to Arena District

Monday, July 21, 2008 - 2:43 PM EDT

Business First of Columbus

 

The newest business in Columbus' Arena District will offer a different variety of face-off this year.  Developer Nationwide Realty Investors Ltd. on Monday said it has signed Big Bang Dueling Piano Bar to open this fall in the neighborhood anchored by Nationwide Arena, where the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets play.  The bar, which will highlight two performers facing off on grand pianos, has agreed to occupy 6,000 square feet at 401 N. Front St., adjacent to Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant Group Inc.'s restaurant.

<b>Cook Shack BBQ opening on Long St. Downtown</b>

 

<img src="http://walker.columbusunderground.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/20_east_long.png">

 

Today I spotted a sign in the Atlas Building for Cook Shack BBQ coming soon. Would be another good addition to downtown and nice to see that building getting filled in.

 

According to their website, their original location is in Hilliard and they serve a variety of Salads, Sandwiches, Brisket, Pulled Pork, Po Boys, Rib Racks, Smoked Chicken, Sweet Potatoes, Collard Greens, Mac and Cheese, House-made Chips and Pork Rinds, and quite a bit more.

<b>Zanzibar Brews now open in the King Lincoln District</b>

 

<img src="http://walker.columbusunderground.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/zanzibar.jpg">

 

A second coffee shop called <A href="http://zanzibarbrews.com">Zanzibar Brews</a> just opened on Long Street in the King Lincoln District, a mere five months after the first coffee shop (<a href="http://www.urban-spirit.com/">Urban Spirit</a>) opened just a few blocks away. Is this up-and-coming neighborhood ready to support two independent coffee shops?

 

According to their website, Zanzibar will serve a variety of breakfast items, sandwiches, soups, salads, wraps, and desserts in addition to coffee. Their hours are from 7am to 9pm, with extended hours on Fri & Sat (11pm) and shortened hours on Sunday (8am to 7pm).

 

<hr>

 

<i>Update</i>:

 

Anne & I just went over there to grab some dinner to bring home, and scope the place out a bit. I think Urban Spirit feels much more like an independent coffee shop, and this place had a much more corporate feel. Looks like they had some money to spend on the decor. Felt a bit like a Panera, for better or for worse. I thought it was nice. Looks like it seats about 30 people, and they have some room for a patio outside. They have a main entrance on Long St, and a back entrance that connects to the lobby of the offices in the bulding. I imagine they're going to do well with the office workers in the building, and probably even better when the Lincoln opens up next Spring, which is nearly directly across the street.

 

I noticed the coffee they served is Stauf's, for those who drink coffee.

 

They also had milkshakes and smoothies, Graeter's Ice Cream, and a few other items that aren't on the online menu. Anne got a veggie wrap ($4), and I got a ham & cheese sandwich ($4.50). We each got a cinnamon roll for dessert ($2.25 each). Total was $13. Employees were very friendly and chatted us up a bit. The food wasn't bad. The sandwiches and wraps are pre-made in to-go containers, so I'm interested to try out a panini, which I assume is made in the kitchen to order.

 

And the most interesting part... they have an area towards the back that looks to be set up for a bar. There's some lower lounge seating next to it too. The only thing missing was booze and a bartender. It didn't really hit me until we got home, but the menu I grabbed does say "Coffee Shop and LOUNGE", and their logo has a cocktail on it.

 

I'll have to ask about it next time I stop by, because if they are going to serve alcohol, I can see the place feeling very much like a MoJoe Lounge.

 

Oh, and lastly, there's now a dry cleaners next door to them as well. "Elite Dry Cleaners" according to the flyer/price guide I picked up in the coffee shop. Their prices look reasonable, so I'll have to give them a shot sometime. I intentionally try not to buy any clothes that need dry cleaning, but I wouldn't mind taking a few shirts and slacks and sweaters there if they do a good job with them.

 

You know I love BBQ so this is great news!

Eatery next to Hyde Park at Cap to feature 'molecular mixology'

Business First of Columbus - by Dan Eaton

Friday, July 25, 2008

 

The newest venture from the brain trust at Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse sounds more like a science experiment than a restaurant.  Beechwood-based Hyde Park Restaurant Systems Inc. plans to open Eleven, a 2,800-square-foot restaurant and bar, at 591 N. High St. on Aug. 7.  It will offer a menu of small-plate dishes and drinks garnished with food-tech touches, such as nitrogen-charged foam, faux caviar and brulee fruit.

 

Dubbed molecular mixology, the techniques include using carbon dioxide tanks, alcohol mists, flames, foams and a vegetable-based gelatin called agar agar.  Drinks include a deconstructed dry martini with green olive faux caviar and a brulee orange old fashioned.  Eleven also will have one alcohol difficult to find elsewhere - absinthe.  The high-proof, anise-flavored alcohol, rumored to have psychoactive effects, had been banned in the U.S. from 1915 until last year.

<b>Harrisons on Third coming soon to Harrison West</b>

 

<a href="http://www.harrisonsonthird.com"><img src="http://www.columbusunderground.com/archives/harrisons.png"></a>

 

There's something happening in my neighborhood in the old B Hamptons space. A huge banner hangs out front driving to the website <A href="http://www.harrisonsonthird.com">HarrisonsOnThird.com</a>.

 

It's an interesting tactic--when you get to the site you sign up for updates and you can look through the gallery they've created during the remodeling. No surprise--it's another bar--two bars it sounds like. With an outdoor patio along the street. The logo looks very pub-ish. Anyone know anything more?

 

I have to admit, I'm a little sad to see a bar go in...I'm hopeful it's a great restaurant too and not another Park St pick-up scene. A nice neighborhood scene filled with the great people who live around here. Well, if it's a great place to tie one on, at least I'll have a short walk home!

<b>Pace-High Carryout to reopen Aug 2</b>

 

<img src="http://walker.columbusunderground.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/pacehi.jpg">

 

As a longtime fan of the two places to assemble my own microbrew six-packs in this town (Pace-High in Clintonville, Gentile's in Grandview), I bemoaned the second -- and apparently final -- shuttering of Pace-High several months ago. Sure, the old place was dingy, dim and remarkably devoid of amenities like A/C. But the thrill of the hunt, you know? The search for the perfect selection of imperial stouts on a January night, or wheat ales in early summer.

 

Anyhow, I caught a story in one of the local weeklies more than a month back about how the owner of Super Food Mart across High had bought the place, remodeled and was awaiting final OK from city inspectors. Was supposed to open in early July originally. Tonight I stopped by Super Food Mart and asked the owner, a Mr. Patel, outright: So, waddup? Are you reopening the place? Will it have consistent inventory? (The old place was a little spotty in that regard in recent years.) Etc. And he took me across the street for a brief tour. The good news: Yes, you'll be able to assemble your own sixer from nearly 100 chilly microbrews. Yes, some knowledgeable staff are returning (a big differentiator in my book). But the other upsides: (1) Air conditioning. (2) Nice remodel with bigger coolers, better lighting, new floors, new ceilings. (3) Vastly improved security lighting in the parking lot out back. (4) Beefed-up selection of wines by region, including a number of organics you definitely can't find at Giant Eagle down the street. (This is Clintonville, after all.) (5) More consistent restocking. (6) Sundry munchies -- and we're talking a lot more than the old place's dubious jar o' jerky at the counter.

 

So there ya have it. 3179 N. High, at -- as the name says -- Pace and High. New blood for an old standby. Better than another empty storefront, as popped up in the neighborhood after the aborted development project in the "Blighton Block."

I've heard Columbus has a Po'Boy shop near campus but I've never seen it.  Where is it?!?

<b>ZenCha Opening Downtown Location on Gay Street</b>

 

<img src="http://zen-cha.com/Images/ZenCha-Logo12.gif">

 

<A href="http://www.columbusunderground.com/phpBB2/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=175">cab124</a> was the first I know of to catch wind of this.  It appears to be far enough along to make it official. Apparently Tom Fortin of the Grandview Fortin Ironworks family and Carlyle's Watch is behind the new ventures in the Gay St. building:

 

[Fortin's] newest venture at 51 Gay Street, a once vacant photo store, will soon house the second location of the popular Short North <A href="http://zen-cha.com/">ZenCha Tea Salon</a> and Fortin also hopes to attract other social businesses to the location, such as dance, yoga and Pilates instructors.

 

"One of the issues facing our downtown is the fact that we suffer now from affordability and connectivity as it's actually about 40% higher ... to live downtown versus suburban locations," he says.  "To help attract and retain people to live downtown, we really have to market and accentuate lifestyle amenities.  As I build and redevelop properties into residential or retail spaces, I keep that in mind."

 

In that same spirit, during City Hop on June 14th, Fortin held a fundraising event at Carlyle's Watch featuring local artists and photographers.  All proceeds benefited the Columbus Symphony.

 

I walked by today and there were signs of work being done in that space.  Does anyone know if ZenCha plans to create a copy of the Short North location or do something different with the new space? Gay St. is really being cemented as the core of the downtown redevelopment.

I've heard Columbus has a Po'Boy shop near campus but I've never seen it.  Where is it?!?

Bar hoppers: The Brewery District misses you

By KITTY McCONNELL

Published: Thursday, August 7, 2008 - 12:59 PM EDT

The Other Paper

 

A general question for Columbus residents: When was the last time you went to the Brewery District?  And why?  This once-happening bar scene is in the midst of recovering from what seem to have been some very, very rough years on the wagon. 

 

Back in the early ’90s, this German Village neighbor could drink any other Columbus bar district under the table.  But since the rise of Park Street and the Short North, destination drinkers have, for the most part, deserted the Brewery District, leaving boarded windows, one troublesome nightclub and a handful of promising bars still struggling in their dust.

"You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers

Don't folks realize that bar districts have very short life-spans and they either become real places or whither and die (see Main St. Cincinnati, NOTL, the Flats Cleveland)

I wish they'd put actual breweries in the Brewery District sometime...

There were plenty there before prohibition. ;)

 

Seriously though, the Brewery District is actually a pretty nice mix of residential and office space these days. Plenty of daytime activity and the growing number of condos and apartments in the area have really helped to keep it active in the evening as well. The new Kroger over there is one of the nicest grocery stores near downtown proper and is always busy.

 

Sounds like some of the nightlife will be coming back soon, which should give this area an even better balance than before when it was a nightlife-only district.

oh that article is a little overstated. the bd was never anything more than a dullsville yuppie haven. victory's - lol! i hardly ever went to bars around there back then. otoh i met my spouse-to-be across the street at the former lucky's on high in 1991 so i really cant rip on it! but campus bars easily out-drank that neighborhood even back then. i'm sure with more and more development the bar life will come back stronger in some form tho, it's too great a location not to.

Expanding neighbor sends R Bar to new, bigger place in Arena District

Business First of Columbus - by Dan Eaton

Friday, August 15, 2008

 

The R Bar Arena hopes its new home at Arena Crossing in Columbus will put it on the map – literally.  Being in one of the few Arena District buildings not owned by Nationwide Realty Investors Ltd., the five-year old bar was represented on maps as a blank dot.  But a move from 300 Marconi Blvd. to the apartment complex will give the watering hole more space, opportunities for more Columbus Blue Jackets promotions and a place on that map.

 

The relocation is a forced one.  Their neighbor, Clara I. Brown Interiors Inc., will expand into the space, but R Bar owners Natalie and Mike Darr and Scott Hinkle are embracing the change.  Natalie Darr said the partners made an offer to stay put but they expect the business to benefit from more room, new traffic and the addition of a kitchen.

Rosendale planning Short North lounge bar

Business First of Columbus

 

Rich Rosendale is set to double his reach in the Short North dining scene this fall.  The chef on Monday announced plans for a Details casual lounge bar at 791 N. High St. that will serve small plates and drinks next door to his namesake restaurant. He did not know exactly when in the fall the lounge might open.

 

Rosendale and architect Andrew Rosenthal will design Detail’s 1,200-square-foot interior.  The lounge will share some of the kitchen and supply space with its 4,200-square-foot Rosendales Restaurant neighbor, giving Details room for about 50 seats, Rosendale said in an interview.

Speaking of the Brewery District; I went to a place called "Club Paradise". I think it might technically be the Brewery District although it borders German Village. Do you know anything about this place?

 

I walked in and there was a police station upstairs/club downstairs (strange enough) then I go downstairs, the place was completely empty, I asked the bartender if they were serving drinks, she said "yeah, we're serving alcohol all night long". Then she said "you have to pay the cover charge though, there's a guy upstairs who takes the money but he went on break, he should be back anytime". Then I walked back to the stairs to leave and she followed me and said "for 20 dollars, you can have aaaalllll the drinks you want!".

 

I kept walking LOL

 

Yikes.

Well, one less bar in the Brewery District...

 

Brewery District club shut down permanently

Saturday, August 23, 2008

BY JODI ANDES, THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

 

A Brewery District nightclub that was declared a public nuisance has been closed permanently under court order. Judge Harland H. Hale had ordered the 485 S. Front Street club closed for two weeks in early August.  Hale planned to hold a hearing on whether the bar should be closed permanently.  However, club owner Christopher Garcia agreed to the closure and promised he would not have any future business interest in any other bar.  Nearby residents complained that the bar attracted rowdy customers who had fights in the parking lot.  Patrons had been hit in the head with bottles, and a man was shot on the dance floor in 2007.  The club also had been cited for serving to underage patrons.

Dunkin’ Donuts ready to fill hole in Columbus reach

Business First of Columbus - by Dan Eaton

 

Dunkin’ Donuts has an internationally known name and a 58-year history, but when it arrives in Columbus the chain of coffee-and-doughnut shops will be a new kid on the block.  If the Canton, Mass.-based company has its way, more than 80 shops will open in Central Ohio, while Baskin-Robbins Franchising LLC, its equally iconic ice cream subsidiary, will have as many as 44 stores in the region.

 

USA Restaurant Developers LLC of Columbus will be responsible for 30 of the Dunkin’ Donuts stores, the first of which is scheduled to open in October on North High Street north of Worthington, followed by a Bethel Road shop in November and one in Casto’s Broad and High streets development by the end of the year.  Mike Bruno, USA Restaurant’s president and chief operating officer, called the Casto site the marquee location for the company.  With it, Dunkin’ Donuts will take on Starbucks Corp., which is across West Broad Street in the U.S. Bank building and around the corner in the KeyBank tower on Third Street.

 

Full story at http://columbus.bizjournals.com/columbus/stories/2008/09/01/story3.html

columbus! you're in for a treat!  :roll:  :laugh:

Careful, those Dunkin Donuts multiply like tribbles!  For all the angst about Starbucks, there are more than 300 DD in NYC now and the number is growing fast.  It's starting to look like New England!

Dunkin' Donuts ready to "fill hole"!  Get it!  Cuz doughnuts have holes!!! 

 

Superb.

"We want to be in your way, on your way?"  That's a terrifying goal for a massive corporation to set.  That makes it sound like they're going to open 2000 stores within city limits in one week.

TIME TO MAKE THE DONUTS!

Bakery Gingham moving in German Village
