There are plenty of purists who’d like to see farmers markets move back to the times when locally-grown produce was king, when people who actually tilled the soil (or, whatever other stuff farmers do) comprised the vast majority of vendors. The purists make some good points on this issue. Still, from a personal perspective, it’s […]
Restaurant Review: Xi Xia
June 21, 2019 9:28 am Miriam Bowers Abbott 
Xi Xia is a brand-new spot in Kenny Centre. Although the restaurant debuted without much fanfare, it’s already crowded, with tables filled with folks hunkering down to biggie bowls of Western Chinese Fare. Historically, the address has played home to a parade of Indian restaurants (Sher E Punjab, Cinnamon, Saphire, etc.); Xi Xia introduces a […]
Treat to Try: Tulip Cafe
June 19, 2019 11:01 am Miriam Bowers Abbott 
The original attraction to the baked goods put out by Tulip Cafe was a particular Nutella cookie. Nutella-anything is a pretty good idea, but its cookies happened to be awfully pretty too. Fancy and tasty can be an uncommon combo. That said, Tulip has other wares that are distracting, not so much in terms of looks, […]
Short Order: Columba’s Food Truck
June 12, 2019 10:00 am Miriam Bowers Abbott 
Columba’s Food Truck has a pretty clever name, right? Say it out loud, and it’s a ringer for “Columbus Food Truck.” This auditory issue caused a little confusion at first, because there are lots of Columbus food trucks in the local dining scene. That said, we’re good now: belongs-to-Columba, got it. In addition to a host of […]
Ohio’s Own: Weed Knob Acres
June 5, 2019 10:00 am Miriam Bowers Abbott 
Weed Knob has a great name. Neither word in the combo is a particularly lovely term, and weeds themselves are downright dastardly things, but together: there is something oddly satisfying about saying the name of a Westerville baking operation called Weed Knob Acres. Even more satisfying than its name, however are Weed Knob Acres’ wares. Case […]
Restaurant Review: Service Bar
May 30, 2019 10:02 am Miriam Bowers Abbott 
Middle West Spirits’ Service Bar is a heavy-hitter on the local dining scene. Frequently spotted at the top of dining lists, it secured the number-one spot on the most recent Columbus Underground’s reader favorite list. There’s a reason for its success. The kitchen works an angle that infuses popular favorite foods with extra and vaguely […]
Ohio’s Own: Koki’s Tortillas
May 29, 2019 10:00 am Miriam Bowers Abbott 
Koki’s Tortillas are something of a niche find. They’re not just an Ohio business, they’re from right here in Columbus, made out on Sullivant Avenue. Although produced nearby, the tortillas went unnoticed until a friend recommended them. This friend is a tortilla snob, and the term is meant affectionately. For our purposes, it refers to […]
