It's no surprise that I like to try different restaurants. This is especially true when I travel. So when my sister, Randi Vahl, and I took a trip to experience the Ark Encounter, I was only interested in eating at a place I'd never been before. That's how we stumbled upon City Barbeque. I later found out that it is a chain restaurant, but I don't care. If the food is good, I'm all about it. And let me tell you, the food is real good! We were told by the cashier that they smoke their own … [Read more...]
Updated: Eatery goes up in ‘Smoke,’ but Biscuit Uprising emerges
Editor's note: This blog post has been updated to include comments about the biscuits and gravy. Wooster has a new restaurant in town, Biscuit Uprising. The biscuit-themed restaurant is the brainchild of the same foodies who gave us Smoke the Burger Joint, Old Carolina BBQ, and Baja West Coast Kitchen -- friends Tim Hug and Brian Bailey, founders of the Ichor Restaurant Group. Biscuit Uprising is on Beall Avenue, occupying the same space that formerly housed Smoke. Hug and Bailey write … [Read more...]
Gouda Bar & Grill was Very Goud(a), but now it’s Closed

It was the second-most popular page on this website, behind Six Things You Need to do in Minerva. Here is the … [Read more...]
Mr. Zub’s Deli and Bar More Impressive than Carnegie Deli
I'm not a big deli person. I like sandwiches just fine, but I'm talking roast beef or turkey or ham. I don't need pastrami or corn beef or anything exotic. So I was not overly enthusiastic when my husband, Bobby, suggested we try Mr. Zub's Deli and Bar. We were in Akron to attend the inauguration of Frank LaRose as Secretary of State on a recent snowy Saturday. I guess I'm still a little leery of delis after my time at Carnegie Deli in New York City. Let's just say I was not very impressed. … [Read more...]
Some Enchanted Evening at Landoll’s Mohican Castle
There is just something romantic about a castle. I thrill at the thought of visiting one in Europe some day. But I found that I don't need to go so far to be swept away. I discovered this during a recent visit to Landoll's Mohican Castle. The Castle is celebrating it's Kingdom of Lights this holiday season (November 17, 2018-January 6, 2019). They have decorated each building with lights and piped in Christmas music to put everyone in the holiday spirit. I found out about the event through … [Read more...]
