July 16, 20213 yr Sycamore to open in German Village this month A revived Sycamore will open in German Village this month. It’s returning with more than a makeover. It’ll be serving breakfast and lunch in addition to dinner. Good Food Restaurants acquired the space at 262 E. Sycamore St. last year. The previous owner was Grow Restaurants, which opted to sell rather than reopen the restaurant during the pandemic. To make the breakfast offering in particular more convenient, Good Food converted one of the front windows to a carryout window so customers can either walk up and order or order coffee and a pastry online and pick it up.

July 21, 20213 yr Rise Brands Debuting Weenie Wonder at Bridge Park Rise Brands’ latest concept will serve up a heavy dose of nostalgia, but this time not through games or cocktails, but hot dogs, jojos and milkshakes. The company behind PINS Mechanical Co. and 16-Bit Bar + Arcade is venturing into food territory with its first restaurant, Weenie Wonder. Founder Troy Allen says the concept has been about five years in the making, and Central Ohioans would already be noshing on dogs were it not for the pandemic. Nostalgia drives many of the experiences Rise Brands creates and Weenie Wonder is no different, playing off Allen’s memories of hitting up spots like A&W or heading to the drive-in for a coney when he was growing up. Like the bar counterparts under the Rise Brands umbrella, Allen also saw a gap in the market, this time for a more fast-casual, quick-serve approach to hot dogs. While there are certainly other hot dog joints in the market, Weenie Wonder will allow guests to customize their dogs through a service style that’s set up for higher volume, with higher-end ingredients.

September 13, 20213 yr This news about G. Michael's closing - combined with today's news about demo equipment going on to the Whittier Whale site - is double whammy to German Village residents(!) Actually, this is a real ending of an era for Columbus fine dining: Unable to reach lease agreement, G. Michael's closes, and Columbus loses an institution After 23 years of serving upscale-causal fare in German Village, G. Michael’s Bistro & Bar has closed at 595 S. Third Street. In a message posted on the restaurant’s website and on social media by co-owners Jeff Bentley and David Tetzloff, also the chef, said they were unable to come to terms on a new lease with the building’s owners. Founded by Michael Reames and Jeff Bentley, G. Michael’s quickly became a favorite among the neighborhood crowd and earned praise from critics, who praised the passionate creations of Tetzloff, who used French, Southern and lowcountry ingredients – among others – to create a well-curated bill of fare. G. Michael’s represented a turning point in Columbus’ culinary history, where the field of intimate chef-driven independent restaurants were starting to grow in a town otherwise dominated by chains.
