This place just opened up in the old Pesto spot on Friday (Link:”Shish Kebab Express Opens at Gateway“) and I decided to stop by on opening day to grab some dinner to take home. The layout is still pretty similar to the way Pesto was set up, but with the kebab’ed meats on display in [...]

My Top 25 Songs of 2009
Yeah yeah yeah… everyone is doing it, right? Counting down their favorite songs of the year, or favorite songs of the decade. I don’t know if I have the energy to review a whole decade worth of music, and I think it would be way too easy to overlook something I liked 7 or 8 [...]
Local Business Shoutout: R Design & Printing
Just wanted to give a quick nod of appreciation to R Design in the Short North. I’ve been using them for the past few years whenever I need any print materials created for smaller-run jobs (posters, flyers, etc). They’re fast, they’re flexible, and they’re cheaper than Kinko’s. Anne & I decided to make postcards for [...]
Time Out For Fun: New Super Mario Bros Wii
I tend to mostly cover more serious topics on my blog, but occasionally you have to take a break and have some fun too. Which brings us back to the topic of video games. My wife and I picked up New Super Mario Bros Wii the week it was released and have been playing it [...]
Shadowbox – I Can’t Believe it Took Us This Long
Columbus is a city filled to the brim with entertainment options. Even for someone like me who stays home to watch very little TV, it’s hard to make it out to every venue and experience everything this city has to offer. I’ve got a short list of places that I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve [...]
Rigsby’s $10 Lunch Deal
Just wanted to give a quick shoutout / mini review to Rigsby’s for their awesome lunch deals. A couple of friends have been recommending that we try it out for awhile, but we finally got around to it on Thursday this past week. For $10 you can order a 1/2 pasta or 1/2 certain sandwiches [...]
Weekend Getaway to the Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls
Earlier this summer, Anne & I stopped by the Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls during a weekend getaway to the Hocking Hills area. We stayed elsewhere that weekend, but had a great dinner & breakfast (review here) at their restaurant. This past weekend, we were invited back along with a group of other Columbus [...]
Peach Milkshakes at Chik-Fil-A
So… about a week ago I got a press release from someone at Chik-Fil-A talking about their new Peach Milkshakes. My email address must be on some sort of world tour in the realm of national pr/marketing, because I get at least 15-20 things like this every day that have very little to do with [...]
G. Michael’s – A Mini Review
Two weeks ago, Anne & I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary with a wonderful dinner out at G. Michael’s. We previously lived in German Village, just a few short blocks from the restaurant, and I was always embarrassed to admit that we never made it over there to eat. Well now I can safely say that it [...]
