Everybody always talks about all the food available on a cruise ship. It is true. There is a lot of food and you could eat and eat, if you wanted to. Tom and I are all about eating in moderation and enjoying the food. In many ways I eat less when I am aboard a …
From Places to Eat
Pancake House Family Diner
We recently enjoyed brunch at The Pancake House Family Diner on Polaris Parkway in Lewis Center. John and Jackie had treated us to a showing of Ghostbusters Frozen Empire (3 out of 5 stars) so we treated them to brunch after the movie. We picked The Pancake House because we didn’t want a big meal …
Mimi’s Café at Polaris, Delaware, Ohio
On Sunday, Tom and I met John and Jackie at Mimi’s Café at Polaris. I picked Mimi’s Café because I had never been there and because it has an all-day brunch menu. It also looks cool from the outside. Mimi’s Café is a chain that started in 1978. It was bought by Bob Evans in …
Uniontown Brewing Company in Ashland, Ohio
We recently tried out a new restaurant – Uniontown Brewing Company in Ashland, Ohio. I hadn’t seen my friend Chris Ferlinc for more than 18 months, so we were determined to get together during my short sojourn in Ohio. Chris has very busy weekends off but she also had one Friday off in March. That …
1808 American Bistro, Delaware, Ohio
John and Jackie are always willing to try new restaurants, so we recently went to the 1808 American Bistro in downtown Delaware, Ohio. They have a brunch menu that is served on Sundays from 11 until 2, so we went there after church. Getting to the restaurant was easy, but the parking was not. We …
Happy Tomato Courtyard Café and BBQ
Last week we drove to Amelia Island and had lunch at the Happy Tomato Courtyard Café and BBQ. We met our friends Wendy and Ron Bower at the Happy Tomato. They were renting a condo on Amelia Island for a month. Tom and I have been to Amelia Island several times. At this point, there …
The Whitney House in Worthington, Ohio
On one of the few wintery evenings in December, Tom and I met John and Jackie at The Whitney House in Worthington for supper. Although John and Jackie have eaten there several times, it was a first visit for Tom and I. John made reservations, which was a good thing because the restaurant was very …
Nicola Tuscan Restaurant in Columbus, Ohio
For Jackie’s birthday, Tom and I took Jackie and John out to eat at Nicola Tuscan Restaurant in Columbus. I had never been there, and I like having new places to write about for the blog. Nicola Tuscan Restaurant would be classified as fine dining. The chef, Nicola Bedalli and his lovely wife Esperanza opened …
Menches Brothers Restaurant and Pub
On a recent adventure day, we headed to North Canton with Mom and Dad for lunch at Menches Brothers Restaurant and Pub. We met my sister, Julia, there. I have eaten at Menches Brothers many times because it was a convenient place for lunches with church folks. Julia and Tom had been there once or …
Marcella’s: Sharing Life Over Plates
For a recent dinner out, Tom and I met John and Jackie at Marcella’s Restaurant at Polaris. Marcella’s is a Cameron Mitchell Restaurant, which always makes it sound fancy. Tom even considered wearing something besides shorts. Marcella’s does take reservations, but most Columbus area restaurants do. We have driven by Marcella’s many times but never …
