Red Bird Pizza Soft Opening

By

Red Bird Pizza Announces their soft opening on Tues, Oct 22nd at 4:30p and stay open until 8:30p (or til the dough runs out).

According to their Facebook post they “will have a 2 pie per order limit as we are only selling a limited number of pizzas for now.

We are still a very small team (night 1 will be a team of three). So we are starting off with a limited menu and shortened hours to allow us to focus on quality and training our team. We will expand the menu and hours as soon as we are able to do so without sacrificing quality.”

Miamisburg resident Christian Clothier grew up in New Jersey and has memories of enjoying pizza outings as a kid with his Grandmother.  Fast forward through  a career as a professional photographer, and his love of pizza, meeting of his neighbor Ife Olaore, who also shared that love and together the men are launching  Red Bird Pizza.

I had a chance to meet up with Christian this past weekend and got the tour of the new place.  Formerly a print shop, the newly remodeled restaurant has a small kitchen, a dough room equipped with equipment to purify the water they use for the dough, and a large walk in refrigerator where they will “age” the dough and keep their fresh ingredients.

Watching Christian make a pizza, stretching and tossing the dough, his joy of sharing this creative process just shined through as he described their process of locating the top quality ingredients and partnering with local farms to source produce.

Clothier describes their pies as “elevated NY style pizza with fresh ingredients.”  The menu will include pizza, salads, meatballs, calzones, killer chocolate cookies, banana muffins and bread pudding made with Bear Creek Donuts to start.  You’ll be able to order by the slice or by the 16″ pie.

If you’re wondering, the name Red Bird Pizza is in honor of Christian’s late grandmother Betty, who’s always dreamed of opening a bed and breakfast  named after her fascination or cardinals called Red Bird.  Combining the love and respect for his grandmother’s this pizza shop will be his homage to the love of family and he hopes to inspire a whole new generation of pizza lovers.

El Meson Hosts Empanada Fest

By

Empanadas made their first appearance during the Moorish invasions in Medieval Iberia. In fact, in 1520, a cookbook in Catalan describing regional Catalan, French, Italian and Arabian food mentions empanadas by name!

Over time, Spanish colonists carried the dish to Latin America and the Philippines, and it wouldn’t take long for empanadas to become synonymous with that country’s culture. They’re also an essential and popular dish in Argentina, available across Buenos Aires and the rest of the country as both fast-food fare and restaurant staples.

El Meson is celebrating these meat pies with a week-long festival at their restaurant from Wed, Oct 2nd through Saturday, Oct 5th from 4:30pm to 8:30pm. Offering nine different empanadas served in platters of 3 for  $15.   The Empanadas are cut in half for six good size bites to share. You’ll be able to choose from chicken, vegetarian, bacon, birria beef, seafood and more. There are even gluten-free options made with corn shells. Owner Bill Castor suggests “compliment your platter by ordering a salad, bowl of soup and be sure to save room for dessert.”  This month El Meson is featuring a Tres Leches Cake – a Mexican style sponge cake soaked in 3 types of milk.

7 Deals for National Taco Day

By

Since 2013, National Taco Day has officially fallen on October 4. But thanks to our friends at Taco Bell, the holiday has been permanently changed to the first Tuesday in October.

Enjoy Good Food At A Discount with Too Good To Go App

By

I love the whole concept of Too Good To Go.  It’s an app that discounts surplus food from restaurants and grocery stores.  The free mobile app invites anyone to save delicious meals and groceries for ⅓ of the retail price. The content of each Surprise Bag purchased through the Too Good To Go app varies and users can expect to get a range of products, always at 1/3 of the retail value. The businesses pay an annual fee 0f $89, only after they’ve sold that much and $1.79 transaction fee from each bag to use the service.  According to the website about 160,000 businesses are part of this food rescue program.

When you log in you can see the offers around you and you can click to purchase paying on line through the app.  Within a couple of minutes you’ll get a confirmation email telling you when you can pick up your bag. When at the shop you’ll swipe your pickup through the app and get your goodies.

Last week was the first time I used it and I got bags from Boosalis Baking and Barry Bagels. I was asked to arrive at Barry Bagels on Far Hills Avenue in Kettering between 3:50 and 4:10pm.  They close at 4pm, so one of the staff let me in and my bag was waiting on the counter.  My bag contained 8 assorted bagels and a container of cream cheese.  Checking their menu the value was about $15 and I paid $4.99 for this.  Bagels were fresh and I felt like this was a great value.

My next pick up was from Boosalis Baking and Cafe at 175 E Alex Bell Rd #280, Centerville. I pulled up in the parking lot and saw three other folks sitting in the car waiting for the 4:30pm pick up time.  We all entered and were handed our bags quickly and efficiently.  The bag was heavy and contained a couple doughnut, two pastries and two blue berry muffins. I payed $5.99 for what would regularly have been about $18.

 

 

Other local businesses I’ve seen on the app include Whole Foods, Hummus Mediterranean Food in Springboro,  Tea for U Bubble Tea in Centerville and Coffee Hub, Xenia, Purely Sweet Bakery in Beavercreek.

If you have a lot of food allergies or intolerances, this app may not be for you since you don’t know what you are getting. But if you’re an adventurous foodie, we think you’ll enjoy this app.  But you will need to check the app frequently to find out what’s available and buy before they sell out.

Chipotle Brings Back Smoked Brisket

By

Chipotle announced the return of its Smoked Brisket at all participating restaurant locations in the U.S. and Canada. This comeback is happening three years after it has been removed on the menu. Even when it was out of sight, the Smoked Brisket remained the top item requested to bring back. Chipotle heard their fans and so the brand is offering again what they love. According to Chris Brandt, Chipotle’s Chief Brand Officer, guests will be impressed by the restaurant’s way of preparing its brisket. It’s how they stand out in the competition.

Vice President of Culinary, Nevielle Panthaky, also has a suggestion for those trying the Smoked Brisket for the first time: get the Smoked Brisket Burrito Bowl. It offers a flavor adventure where guests can enjoy the juicy and smoky brisket along with white rice and black beans. The cheese and fresh tomato salsa makes the meal tastier and more refreshing.

Chipotle’s Smoked Brisket is back for a limited time only, so be sure to get yours today! It might just be the brunch option that you need after some Taco Bell locations decided to discontinue the breakfast menu. To stay in the loop about the latest food news, keep an eye on our future articles.

Chipotle only uses Responsibly Raised beef for its smoked brisket. Various and effective culinary techniques are then used to bring out the rich flavors of the brisket. Of course, the dining experience wouldn’t be complete without pairing the protein with other fresh ingredients. The brisket is chopped in small, juicy bites and smothered in a brisket sauce made using chili peppers. The reason why the brisket is so tasty? It’s also seasoned with more spices and seared on the plancha. Every bite gives powerful smoky flavors. To keep the freshness of this menu item, it is prepared in small batches throughout the day.

Chicken Al Pastor is Also Back for a limited time. It’s made with freshly grilled chicken flavored with a marinade of ground achiote and seared morita peppers. It has the right level of acidity as well, thanks to the addition of pineapple and lime. The bold flavor of Chicken Al Pastor can be enjoyed in a salad, quesadilla, burrito, or burrito bowl. Top it off with fresh Guacamole for a Mexican dining experience like no other!


Chipotle has also added some  new beverages. They’re what the brand calls “better-for-you” offerings. For years, the brand has stood by its mission to deliver meals that are better for you, better for people, and better for the planet. The launching of these drinks is part of that mission:

  • Poppi: The restaurant has partnered with Texas-based Poppi to offer prebiotic soda in two refreshing flavors: orange and strawberry-lemon. These drinks have more or less 25 calories per can and five grams of sugar.
  • Open Water’s Still Water: In an attempt to remove all plastic water bottles in its U.S. restaurants, Chipotle is also offering water contained in recyclable and climate-neutral bottles. A portion of Open Water’s revenue in Chipotle restaurants will be donated to agriculture projects focused on improving coastal waters.
  • Organic Watermelon Limeade: This seasonal drink features the refreshing flavor combination of real lime and watermelon from Tractor Beverage Co. It’s made with all-natural ingredients with no preservatives added. Additionally, 5% of profits from sale of this beverage will benefit causes that support farme
