Mayhem Foods makes all sorts of things. It makes salsa. It makes hot sauce. It has seasoning powders, and a chocolate snack mix. When your name is Mayhem, you can do anything. It does have a particular angle, though. What started as the unwavering devotion to spicy things became a commitment to something more: spicy things with […]

January 22, 2020 2:00 pm Miriam Bowers Abbott
Betty’s Dressing is a famous Ohio thing. We’re not talking about the bygone beloved Short North Betty’s; this Betty hails from Northwestern Ohio. This revelation came as something of a surprise.

Ohio’s Own: Spangler Candy
October 23, 2019 10:00 am Miriam Bowers Abbott
Halloween is just around the corner. It’s time to stock up on candy, and if you’re serious about your Ohio Proud-ness, then Dum Dums are gonna be your go-to. Sure, you can stock up on the Reese’s and Snickers too, but if you want some local integrity, then you’ll have to put something from Spangler Candy […]
