Last week Tom and I ate at Zuzus in Pier Village. I don’t know what Zuzus means or stands for, but this little hole-in-the wall restaurant on St. Simons Island has the best burgers! We used to think Certified Burgers had the best, but found out they put way too much salt in their meat. …
From Places to Eat
Frostys Griddle and Shake on St. Simon’s Island
Tom and I recently ate, for the first time, at Frostys Griddle and Shake. The first two years Tom and I were on St. Simon’s, we enjoyed eating periodically at Dairy Queen. It was centrally located close to the pier, so we would park, walk there for some ice cream, and then walk around the …
Georges Linworth Diner in Worthington, Ohio
The last place that John and Jackie took us to eat while we were in Ohio was Georges Linworth Diner in Worthington. Diners are always fun and this place is a new favorite for John and Jackie. We went there to eat in between Saturday morning choir practice and the 12:50 showing of “Knives Out,” …
Lunches and Suppers with Friends
While we were in Ohio, we had lots of lunches and suppers with friends. We got to touch base with plenty of the folks that I love, even if I didn’t always remember to take a picture. Of course, I would always love to spend more time, but my diet probably can’t afford many more …
Bru Burger near Polaris, Columbus
In contrast to Beer Barrel Pizza and Grill, Bru Burger is a place that I would eat over and over again. It is another new restaurant, located close to Polaris on the north side of Columbus. Bru Burger Bar started in 2011 and now has ten locations across three states. The menu isn’t large, compared …
Beer Barrel Pizza and Grill in Dublin, Ohio
One of the new places we ate with John and Jackie while we were in Columbus was the Beer Barrel Pizza and Grill in Dublin. We met them there for lunch on a Saturday and the place was packed, with the Ohio State Football game playing on all the screens. Beer Barrel Pizza and Grill …
Barn Restaurant in Smithville, Ohio
One of our favorite places to meet people has long been The Barn Restaurant in Smithville, Ohio. We have been there many times – it was halfway between Mom and Dad and us when we lived in Akron. But I realized when we went there in November that I have not written a blog post …
Mrs Turbos Cookies in Powell Ohio
John and Jackie love to find restaurants, bakeries and stores to show us when we visit Ohio. In November they took us to a place that is bound to become a favorite: Mrs Turbos Cookies. Mrs Turbos Cookies was started in Columbus in 2012 in Gahanna. It is a 50’s style, retro bakery that uses …
Fishers Cafe and Pub in Peninsula Ohio
On the day we went to Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Mom and Dad and Tom and I ate lunch at Fishers Cafe and Pub in lovely, downtown Peninsula. Fishers Cafe is a staple in Peninsula, operating out of the same location for 61 years. It was opened by George Fisher in 1958 in the current …
Hoggys BBQ Restaurant in Columbus
The first time we saw John and Jackie on this trip back to Ohio, we went to Hoggys BBQ Restaurant in Columbus. John has started a hot sauce business called “Fartley Farms.” One of the things he does, besides produce great hot sauces, is write a blog about the spiciest dishes in Columbus. His byline …
