Plant-based burgers are a great choice for those who don’t eat meat or are simply looking to mix things up. I love a well-crafted, house-made veggie burger; my favorites are made from TVP (textured vegetable protein), seitan (a protein-rich wheat gluten), or a hearty bean base. Not only are these options protein-packed, but the veggie…
A new, high-energy entertainment hub with an award winning chef, all in the heart of the Short North Arts District, announced they’ll be opening next month, after much anticipation. Last November, news broke that the national sports bar & restaurant chain, called DraftKings Sports & Social, would be making its way to Columbus in the…
In March, Dollar Tree. Inc., which owns Family Dollar and Dollar Tree, announced they would be closing about 600 stores nationwide in 2024, with about 370 more as their leases continue to expire. Unfortunately, four of those closures will take place in Columbus. According to the Ohio Department of Jobs & Family Services, up to…
Last summer, Columbus was excited for a Cleveland-area based fried chicken concept to open at 3260 W. Broad St. Lenny’s Chicken’s June opening was a success, with many customers loving the huge, crispy chicken fingers paired with seasoned waffle fries. Lenny’s even planned on opening another East side location. It doesn’t look like that’s happening…
For the low price of $9,420, the “first-ever flamethrower-wielding robot dog” can be yours. And no, this is not a joke. You can actually buy one here. The aptly-named Cleveland company Throwflame, which is self-described as “your 1 stop flamethrower shop,” recently introduced the Thermanator, a robot dog equipped with a flamethrower that can shoot…
Because you can have them for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and because they’re found in cuisines from Vietnam to England and more, the sandwich is hard to beat. Luckily for us here in central Ohio, there’s no short of good sandwiches to dig into. The restaurant review platform Yelp highlighted a list of 10 local…
For the first time ever, central Ohio will be graced with David Rogers’ traveling art exhibit, which features giant insect sculptures measuring as big as 25 feet long, 20 feet wide, 10 feet tall, and up to 1200 pounds! Since Rogers’ first debut in 1994, the Big Bugs have traveled the country, visiting over two-dozen…
If you’re tired of the same ol’ fast-casual items, there’s a new spot in town that definitely changes things up. With specialty sandwiches like crab stick & egg, and black pepper pork, or even tuna corn salad with egg, plus Taiwan rice balls filled with sesame candy or Chinese pickles, VGET Bakery & Cafe isn’t…
Sure, we may be known for our football and crispy square cut pizza here, but apparently, we also have a pretty incredible selection of vegetables and goods from farmers. This is Ohio, after all. In fact, we have the best farmers market in the entire country, according to USA Today. The Worthington Farmers Market, operated…
Some familiar faces, or should we say voices, will no longer be guiding us through our morning commutes or afternoon traffic jams. Saga Communications, which owns and operates Qfm96 (96.3), Rewind (103.5/104.3), Sunny 95 (94.7 WSNY), and Mix 107.9, is making some significant changes, and with those changes comes numerous lay-offs. Dino Tripodis and Stacy…
