As COVID-19 continues to work its way through Ohio, there is ongoing solace in comfort foods. When it comes to comfort, starchy foods are our go-to. Think about it: noodle-things, bread-things…they’re oddly calming. Now you can enjoy them together in a wondrous starch sandwich, which provides all the comfort you need, all in a portable […]
Restaurant Review: Frank & Carl’s
May 14, 2020 10:26 am Miriam Bowers Abbott
In the best of times, the Columbus restaurant scene is brutal. Sure, we’re good eaters, and homogenous, familiar chain operations actually do pretty well here. But for the independent, it’s a constant balancing act…on a tight rope, suspended over a big ol’ cliff of debt and desolation. Now COVID-19 has changed the rules, requiring not […]
Drive Thru: Portia’s Pizza
April 8, 2020 11:00 am Miriam Bowers Abbott
Whole World Natural Restaurant’s pizza was a Clintonville institution. Founded in 1978, it was vegetarian before vegetarian was cool. After a long run, it closed its doors in 2017. While endings are always a little sad, good news was just around the corner. Portia’s Cafe announced intentions to expand a diner operation in the vacated […]
Restaurant Review: Charritos
March 13, 2020 3:20 pm Miriam Bowers Abbott
There’s a strip mall at the corner of Henderson and Reed that is just jam packed with stuff. It’s got pizza, it’s got donuts, it’s got phone service providers and maybe mattresses, too. It’s all crammed in there. In fact, Charritos is crammed in there, too. Somehow, the operation fits all the elements of a traditional Mexican restaurant […]
Short Order: Once-In-A-Lifetime Potatoes
March 11, 2020 10:00 am Miriam Bowers Abbott
We’re now knee-deep in the heart of Fish Fry season. Its annual appearance always comes immediately before another important culinary event: Hash Brown Casserole Day. While it lasts only a brief period, Hash Brown Casserole Day is widely celebrated. In the Midwest, the dish is practically a requirement for the Easter dinner table. You may think […]
Restaurant Review: Ghostwriter Public House
March 6, 2020 2:20 pm Miriam Bowers Abbott
If someone asked you for a culinary destination point, you’d probably point them in the direction of the Short North. Or German Village. Or perhaps to Polaris or Easton for suburban types. Johnstown, as whole, is under-the radar, and that puts Ghostwriter Public House under the radar too. But a short trip up the road yields […]
Treat to Try: Elderberry Syrup
March 4, 2020 10:00 am Miriam Bowers Abbott
With Coronavirus season just around the corner, it’s mildly dismaying to find the ventilator masks out-of-stock at big box retailers. But at least we have elderberry syrup. Elderberry syrup boasts centuries of experience in treating colds and flu. Actually, it boasts centuries of experience of elderberry health benefits, treating lots of things, including infections, burns and high […]
