Last week Tom and I went with John and Jackie to the Little Grand Market in Columbus for supper. We were going to a show (more on that later) and picked this unique place for supper before the show. I previously wrote about For the Love of Dough cookies and their shop is at the …
From Places to Eat
Boathouse BBQ in Marietta, Ohio
After our visit to Campus Martius Museum, Tom and I headed to Boathouse BBQ on the other side of the Muskingum River. I gave Tom his choice of two places to eat for lunch: Levee House Bistro or Boathouse BBQ. The Levee House Bistro is located in the only remaining riverfront building in Marietta. The …
8 Sisters Bakery and Cafe in Mt. Gilead
Whenever we drive to or from Mom and Dad’s, we pass the sign on I-71 for 8 Sisters Bakery and Cafe. You know how much I like bakeries, but we were always in a hurry to get wherever we were going and never stopped. After reading a little more about 8 Sisters Bakery and Cafe …
Barn at Rocky Fork, Gahanna
For my birthday, John and Jackie took me out to eat at the Barn at Rocky Fork in Gahanna. This gift combined three of my favorite things: my family, a new restaurant, and brunch. During the time I served as a pastor, we ate out every Sunday after church. I still want to eat out …
Dublin Market at Bridge Park
The first Saturday in November, Tom, John, Jackie, and I headed to the Dublin Market at Bridge Park. Jackie had told me about this farmers’ market and how nice it was. I thought I had missed it because it runs every Saturday from the beginning of May until the end of September. But there was …
Brassica Sandwiches and Salads
The week before my surgery, Tom and I met John and Jackie at Brassica Sandwiches and Salads at Easton Town Center. Although John and Jackie have eaten there several times, Tom and I had not been before. I think Jackie picked it in her never-ending quest to expand my palate. Brassica Sandwiches and Salads is …
Worthington Tavern in Worthington, Ohio
While Tom and I were in Ohio we managed to squeeze in supper with John and Jackie. They suggested meeting at the Worthington Tavern in Historic Worthington. At first, Tom and I thought we were meeting at Whitney House, the subject of a previous blog post. But we soon realized that Worthington Tavern was a …
Grand Lake St Marys, Ohio
On our recent trip to Ohio, we had an adventure day with Mom and Dad to Grand Lake St Marys. Mom had seen an article about Boardwalk Village and wanted to go there. Anything they want to do, we are happy to try. We had a beautiful day for our adventure. The sky was blue …
Whistle Pig Country Store
I recently had a chance to try the newest local restaurant in Ewing, Virginia. Whistle Pig Country Store opened in July after several years of preparation and renovation. The two sisters, Jan Brown and Melissa Brown Hubbard, who own it used to volunteer as Campground Hosts at Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. A lot of …
Littons Market and Restaurant
Upon the recommendation of friends, Tom and I recently ate at Littons Market and Restaurant in the Fountain City neighborhood of Knoxville. Until it was annexed by Knoxville, Fountain City was the largest unincorporated area in Tennessee. It looks and acts like its own community, with a downtown and a large park with a fountain. …
