Just a reminder that @barrelbloom in Linworth is a cool spot to hang out! Full beer and cocktail menus using @endeavorbrewstillery goods. I really enjoyed my pint of Icelandic Saga Nordic ale and my Fireside Old Fashioned recently!

Columbus has no shortage of Mexican restaurants, but we welcome every single one of them, especially when they’re as fun as the new @vivamexicankitchen_cbus in the @arenadistrict ! We pulled up a table recently and started with the elote and the trio dip, then dug into quesabirria, pork carnitas, the Viva Burrito, and the steak Viva Fajitas that hit the table sizzling and didn’t disappoint. On the cocktail side, the Mexican Old Fashioned is a must-order, a genuinely great riff on a classic. The Hibiscus Margarita is beautiful and not too sweet. The boys went straight for the Jarritos, which is always the right call. Viva is a great addition to the Arena District, and I’m sure will be a quick favorite go-to before a Blue Jackets or Clippers game, or even a fun lunch downtown. 📍Viva Mexican Kitchen, 220 W. Nationwide Blvd., Columbus, OH 43215

Chicken and waffles? Lox bagels? Breakfast sandwiches? Yes, please! @hangovereasy just opened their third Columbus location - and their seventh overall - at @bridgeparkdublin , and we couldn’t be happier to have this breakfast spot close to home. They’ve converted the former Kona Craft Kitchen into a diner, complete with a coffee shop and grab-and-go counter near the front. We’ve always had great breakfasts at HOE, and our first visit to Dublin was no exception: ☕ A mug of @onelinecoffee , a French toast latte with cold brew, and a Vietnamese coffee đŸ© Apple cider donuts with Aleppo pepper chocolate sauce 🧇 Chicken and waffles with @milligansmaple syrup đŸ„Ż Lox Around the Clock: smoked salmon, egg salad, everything bagel 🍳 HOE benny with chorizo 🍳 Philly omelet đŸ„Ș Classic bodega breakfast sandwich ‹“Breakfast Cures All” indeed! 📍HangOverEasy, 6757 Longshore St., Dublin, OH 43017

Fam, I just submitted a piece on burgers to @experiencecolumbus and now I’m in serious need of one. I’ll share the link when it’s live, but in the meantime, feast on these photos. Also, where should we get a burger today?

Slowly working my way through the menu at @carolinessandwiches at @northmarketdowntown . Check out the Corner Club with chicken thighs, bacon, provolone, red onion, lettuce, and house ranch!

Hard to argue with the floral loveliness of @royalflamingocoffee ’s Buy Myself Flowers latte. Get it before their menu turns over!

#ad Berries are back at Bob Evans! 🍓 We visited our local @bobevansfarms and loaded up the table with the Fresh Strawberry Farmer’s Choice and the Chocolate Strawberry Farmer’s Choice, and honestly both of them earned their spot. The chocolate and strawberry combo is fluffy, indulgent, and way more satisfying than making breakfast at home. Bob Evans has always been a comfort food destination for us, the kind of place where the portions are generous and the meal actually brings everyone to the table at the same time. The Berry Breakfast menu makes that even easier right now. It’s seasonal, it’s fresh, and it’s the kind of breakfast worth getting out of the house for. 🍓 Find your nearest Bob Evans at BobEvans.com or through the link in my bio! #bobevans #BobEvansBerrySeason

I call this the “Wednesday Morning.” My usual weekly stop for a cortado and a Mystic Rhythm from the lovely folks at @moonbirdcoffeeco .

Kaya buns! They’re the big draw at @ayubakehousenola in New Orleans. Every morning they’re open, guests patiently line up outside the bakery on Frenchmen Street. On our last visit, we hit them up twice! The kayak bun is a laminated pastry filled with a lovely coconut pandan custard. It’s no surprise that they sell out regularly. But even if you miss out, your consolation prize is equally good: cinnamon rolls, carrot cake buns, Boudin Boys stuffed with sausage - and if catch them on the right days in season, the Crawssant stuffed with crawfish tails and mozzarella. 📍Ayu Bakehouse, 801 Frenchmen St., New Orleans, LA 70116

The closure of Nada in the @arenadistrict left a gap in the dining scene there, but thankfully it’s been filled by @vivamexicankitchen_cbus , from the folks behind @dulcevidacolumbus ! They’ve maintained the beautiful space and built out a menu of cocktails, shareables, tacos, steaks, fajitas, desserts, and more. We tried: đŸ„ƒ Mexican Old Fashioned and hibiscus margarita đŸ„‘ Trio dip đŸŒœ Elote 🌼 Quesabirrias 🍖 Pork carnitas đŸ„© Viva fajitas with steak 🌯 Fried grilled burrito 📍Viva Mexican Kitchen, 220 W.
