    Seems to be doing decent. I have a buddy that works for the company that redid the place. He said the opening of Columbus brewing has helped push some more traffic.

Hmm, I kind of liked that it hadn't been remodeled since the early '90s or earlier. But this is Columbus where everything must be remodeled. Fun fact: Last time I was in there we sat in the "Johnny Knoxville" seat which is NOT commemorated with a plaque from when a scene from Bad Grandpa was filmed there. Watch the movie and you'll know why there is no plaque.

After spending seven years crisscrossing the country as a tour chef, Rob McClaskey decided to settle in his hometown of Columbus and follow his dream of starting a mobile food business.

 

He and his wife, Christie McClaskey, opened Put it in Your Face sandwich cart in July. The name of the cart was born a while back, though, when the couple was discussing some of Rob McClaskey’s new sandwich creations for a restaurant he was working for at the time.

I know a lot of people are talking about Holy Chicken. I have not had a chance to go there yet.  I know about the hype around it, but is the food any good? 

Your Pie is an awesome pizza place.  i have not eaten at the one in town but I have eaten at their flagship location in AThens GA.  Amazing pizza with an eye for quality ingredients.

This is one of my favorite places to grab a great steak in town.  Quality cuts, carefully procured.  No your run of the mill beef.

This is one of our favorite spots to stop in the morning time before we start our moving day.  Even after their move, we will most certainly still stop by to grab a bite. Great donuts.

Craft MarshMMELOs Opening Downtown This Week

MMELO, a Columbus native’s stylized approach to confections and marshmallows, is opening its first physical location Downtown this week.

 

Lead Confectioner and Owner, Michelle Allen, has learned over the past year just how much it takes to get a brick and mortar business off the ground. A full time job in itself, launching MMELO took nearly a year of planning, collaborating, fundraising and, probably most importantly, recipe building for the season to come.

Block’s Bagels Opening Broad Street Location

In its 50th year of business, Block’s Bagels is making some locale and leadership changes. This January, Block’s Bagels will open a second store on East Broad Street just outside Bexley to better cater to their main clientele.

 

Hal and Steve Block, the father-son duo running the business, turned to long-time family friend Jeremy Fox to head the new store. Fox has had a key to Block’s for five years, using its kitchen as a commissary for the Short North Bagel Deli — the food cart he started in 2011. His exclusive access to the Block’s kitchen came out of a long history with the Block family in which Fox and his own father would help make bagels annually around the holidays as “kind of a tradition.”

Steam is Bringing its Buns to the North Market

The North Market is getting a new merchant. Steam, originally serving Italian Village from inside Little Rock Bar, is bringing its buns to the Market in the new year.

 

The concept was started by chef Marcus Meacham. Earlier this year, Meacham took over some space at Little Rock to offer his mantou bun sandwiches to hungry bar patrons. The Chinese steamed buns come with over a dozen options of what to put between them, creating menu items like the Cubano and the BBQ bacon cheeseburger that sit next to sandwiches like the Korean egg bun and pineapple shrimp. All come in takeout containers with chips and a pickle.

“I love brunch. To me that’s the best meal ever. You have the best of both worlds, pretty much. And I’m a big fan of waffles, so I just wanted to focus on something, first of all, that I love,” Troy said, adding later, “I’m at the point of my life where I can pick what I want to do as opposed to having to do what you need to do because it’s life. And cooking has always been my passion.”

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

Fond memories of getting treated to a dinner at the Florentine growing up - mostly due to the little bag of candy they'd give us after dinner.  I don't think I ever went there as an adult, but it'll be missed nevertheless.

wow i had no idea these were still around and so popular.

 

there is already a jersey mike's in westerville on sunbury rd at dublin-granville rd for like over 20yrs. i checked and i see its still there. it was the first one and i was so excited when it opened. it was pretty good at first, but went downhill quickly. i don't mean bad, but just eh.

I rarely want a sub, but it seems like everybody wants to sell me one.

Making a good sub is like an art. If I tell the Jersey Mike's employees exactly how to do it correctly, I can get something resembling an authentic sub. Otherwise, there's just not the same level of pride at the franchised versions of Jersey Mikes. They just do the bare minimum, which is all it takes to eclipse Subway.

Chipotle's burger concept is coming a little closer to Columbus.

 

Tasty Made, which opened its first store in Lancaster in October, plans to open a second location early next year in Pickerington, according to a research note from Mark Kalinowski, a restaurant industry analyst with Nomura.

 

The store is planned for 1291 Hill Road North, according to an item on the agenda for Pickerington's Planning and Zoning Commission meeting scheduled for Tuesday evening.  That location is just north of Refugee Road, near a Max and Erma's, Raising Cane's, Roosters and other restaurants.

“If you do it right, you get to keep doing it,” Carol McElroy, owner of the 50-year-old J.P.’s Barbeque said, crediting her father and the barbecue joint’s founder, J.P. Makar, with that maxim. J.P.’s is still doing it, though one could be forgiven for thinking the restaurant was gone.
