Drinking craft beers while listening to a regional blues man hum away on his harmonica.  What better way to raise money for  Diabetes Dayton?   The annual Big Brews & Blues event was held last weekend at Carrillon Park and hundreds of attendees enjoyed dozens of craft beers.  There were Big Brews, there were Blues, and of course, there was food.   Superfry & The Big Ragu were on hand for another Food Adventure supporting a local charity.   Pouring beer in full force were the staff of  Dayton Most Metro and Lisa Grigsby with Dayton Dining.  Tickets were $30 in advance or $35 … [Read more...]

Milano’s: A Dayton Food Adventure

Atlantic City style subs that would make Snooki proud and Pizza loved by many locals.  This is today's Milano's.  But, Dayton Originals like Superfry & the Big Ragu remember when there was only one Milano's on Brown Street.   Purists will tell you, the subs tasted better then, because the old ovens were 'seasoned' from years of spices burnt into the baking area.  Whether you love the "old school, dirty Milano's", or the "clean, modern Milano's", you can't deny that this is one of the most popular eateries in the Miami Valley. HERE'S THE SKINNY: - Founded in 1969 by Ron Woods and … [Read more...]

And sales of moscato grew again by 25 percent in 2012. "In the U.S., moscato’s popularity has exploded over the past three years, with sales growing faster … [Read more...]

Joe and Patrick

The overhead doors at 2nd Street Market are up. Fresh air, sunshine and hungry people looking for a lively social scene mean it’s outdoor food season. Warm weather fills the sidewalk seating along 5th Street with bustle. Coffee shop denizens sit outside and watch people go by, crowds of Riverscape strollers appear, and downtown office workers don sunglasses to dash out for a precious lunch-hour escape. And they’re all interested in food. You wouldn’t know it, but a guy like me who’s worked at the Savoy Hotel, in London, who’s even served a royal or two, is actually a great fan … [Read more...]
