Chipotle Brings Back Smoked Brisket

September 10, 2024 By Lisa Grigsby

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

New Solar Energy Panels Installed At 2nd Street Market

September 10, 2024 By Lisa Grigsby

Five Rivers MetroParks has installed a 131-panel solar array – among the largest in the City of Dayton – on the roof of the 2nd Street Market, marking a significant advancement in this downtown destination’s commitment to sustainability and to MetroParks’ commitment to climate change mitigation.

A green ribbon cutting will be held to mark the completion of this project.

  • When: Friday, Sept. 13 at 10 am
  • Where: 2nd Street Market, 600 E. Second St.
  • What: All are welcome to attend the ribbon cutting, during which there will be remarks from MetroParks officials and an invitation to explore the permanent interpretive installation outside the Market.

The installation was completed in late July and made possible through a generous gift to theFive Rivers MetroParks Foundation from Mat and Cindi Heck.

“We are passionate about Five Rivers MetroParks and the environmental benefits of solar energy,” Cindi Heck said. “We’re excited about the incredible cost savings over time to help the 2nd Street Market, as well as the positive environmental impact and opportunity to educate the public about the benefits of solar energy. This type of sustainable energy, along with other alternative sources of power, are the way of the future for generation to come.”

The solar array significantly reduces the Market’s carbon footprint:

  • First, it’s anticipated to offset 46% of the building’s power consumption.
  • Second, it has the capacity to generate approximately 100,000 kWh of electricity annually.

This amount of clean, renewable energy can power nine average American homes for a year, reducing CO2 emissions by roughly 89 metric tons. This is equivalent to removing approximately 19 gasoline-powered vehicles from the road annually, highlighting the project’s substantial environmental impact.

“We are deeply grateful to Mat and Cindi Heck for their visionary support of this important project, which represents MetroParks’ first solar project and a major next step in the agency’s conservation initiatives,” said Alexis Larsen, Five Rivers MetroParks’ chief of philanthropy. “Together, we are taking a critical step forward in our journey toward a more sustainable and resilient community.”

The solar panel installation increases the 2nd Street Market’s support of MetroParks’ conservation mission to protect the region’s natural heritage. The Market also provides the community access to fresh, local food, which is often healthier and less taxing on the environment. Additionally, shopping from local small businesses means food and products are transported shorter distances, further reducing the carbon footprint of shoppers. Renewable energy joins recycling and composting as ways in which the Market is committed to operating sustainably.

“Five Rivers MetroParks is proud to lead by example, demonstrating how local actions can contribute to global climate change mitigation goals,” MetroParks CEO Karen Hesser said. “This installation not only represents a stride toward energy independence, but it also serves as a tangible demonstration of the benefits of solar power, offering an educational opportunity for the public. It underscores the importance of renewable energy in achieving a sustainable future and complements the Market’s mission to provide the community with access to fresh, local food.”

The solar panels were installed by Appalachian Renewable Power (ARP Solar), which was awarded the project through a competitive bidding process.

“The Market’s newest ‘green’ upgrades are a great example of a project that would not have been possible without philanthropic support,” said Larsen.

This is the second large MetroParks project funded by Cindi and Mat Heck. In 2021 they funded updated seating and shade sails at the RiverScape River Run terrace.

Archers Tavern spent the weekend in Buffalo, New York competing for the third time at the 23rd annual National Buffalo Wing Festival, that has been taking place for over 20 years. Since its founding in 2002, Wingfest has evolved into one of the country’s top food festivals, drawing more than 1 million attendees from all 50 states, 41 different counties and every continent (even Antarctica). The festival helped establish Buffalo as the World Capital of Wings and gave the city a reason to celebrate its signature food like it never had before.
In their first year competing Archers placed in all 3 divisions they entered and finished 3rd overall. Here were their award winning sauces:

Duck Pin Bowling League Starting

August 25, 2024 By Lisa Grigsby

On Par Entertainment is hosting an 8 week Duckpin Bowling League that kicks off Tuesday, August 27th at 6:30pm. Gather your friends and family to form a team of 4 to compete in this laid back du league! Substitutions are allowed. The league runs for 8 weeks and costs just $1 per person each week. Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 teams at the end of the league.

Duckpin bowling is a variation of ten-pin bowling, with the biggest difference between the two games being the size of the ball and pins used to play. In duckpin bowling, players roll a ball slightly larger than a softball down the alley to knock down the pins. The pins used in duckpin bowling are smaller and lighter than the pins used in regular bowling games, making it more difficult for players to earn a strike.

Duckpin bowling is a ten-frame game where the goal is to knock down as many pins as possible with the fewest number of rolls. Each player gets three rolls per frame in an attempt to knock down all their pins. The catch, however, is that the size of the ball and pins makes it a challenge for players to knock down multiple pins at once. The point system in duckpin bowling is similar to traditional ten-pin bowling in that if a player knocks down all the pins in a single roll, they earn a strike. Players receive ten points for each pin they knock down in a turn, and if a player knocks down all the pins in the first two rolls of their turn, it is scored as a spare.

Where To Get A Cuban Sandwich in the Miami Valley

August 23, 2024 By Lisa Grigsby

National Cuban Sandwich Day is a tribute to flavor found in a toasted pressed sandwich. It’s no secret that the birthplace of the Cuban sandwich — as the name suggests — is from the largest island nation of the Caribbean. The sandwich is mostly characterized by its delectable blend of ham, cheese, pork, and mustard and is also know as a Cubano.

Where to find one in the Miami Valley, according to our experts on Dayton Foodies:

Chino Cubans
You must add yourself to the online  waiting list and when your time comes around you’ll get a message telling you how to about how to get your order.

El Meson

 903 E Dixie Dr, Dayton, OH 45449
Bryan Suddith writes,”It should come as no surprise that El Meson, specializing in Spanish, Caribbean and South American fare should have the area’s best Cuban sandwich. The Pork is seasoned perfectly with spices I can only describe as uniquely Cuban. Oregano, cumin, parsley, black pepper, all together smells of a Cuban country kitchen. They layer the pork alongside pickle, mustard, and swiss. Finished in a press, the roll comes back with a crunchy exterior ready to handle the juicy pork. Order it with a side of black beans. Sit on the patio, enjoy the sunshine, imagine you are in a Havana cafe all for under $10.00.

La Michoacana Mexican Market #5

748 Troy St Dayton, OH 45404

Brittany Danielle Smith says, “ The portions are huge. The Cuban sandwich was bigger than my head.”

Charlie’s Deli 

429 Troy St, Dayton, OH 45404

Jim Chrissis says Charlie’s Deli makes one that is decent. Get him to customize it as you like it (I asked for a little salami and some mayo on mine, to approximate the Tampa style) and they will accommodate. He will press it as well.

We’ve also heard that Harens Market in Troy, The Cheesecake Factory, Dayton Street Eats and sometimes Chappas in  Moraine also have good Cubans.  If you’ve found one we don’t know about, please leave us a comment below.

Local Filmmaker Takes on The Wright Brothers Story

August 13, 2024 By Lisa Grigsby

“The Wright brothers changed the world. Their story deserves to be told
with the same passion and precision they brought to their work.”

At a press conference held to day at the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park,  Centerville filmmaker Allen Farst made the announcement of his next feature film: The Flying Machine! Farst has optioned the book “The Bishop’s Boys:A Life of Wilbur and Orville Wright, written by Tom Crouch and will write the screenplay and direct the film.  Previous films by Farst include Triangle Park, a documentary about the first NFL game,(which will stream on Amazon Prime in Sept) and Chuck Leavell: The Tree Man, an award winning documentary film about The Rolling Stones keyboardist.

Farst shares “the story of the Wright brothers serves as a beacon of inspiration, reminding us that with vision, perseverance, and a willingness to embrace failure as a stepping stone to success, anything is possible. Through the medium of film, this message can reach a global audience, igniting the spark of curiosity and ambition in the hearts of aspiring aviators and innovators around the world. In nearly 125 years [2028 is the anniversary of flight] there has not been one major motion picture about the Wright brothers until now and with your support we plan to change that!

But this isn’t just about planes—it’s about the human spirit reaching new heights. Our film captures the awe-inspiring triumphs and heart-wrenching setbacks of the Wright brothers’ who dared to chase the horizon. It’s a celebration of passion, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of the impossible.

In nearly 125 years [2028 is the anniversary of flight] there has not been one major motion picture about the Wright brothers until now and with your support we plan to change that!”

On hand to share their support, Amanda Wright Lane, Great Grand Niece of Orville and Wilbur Wright  and Stephen Wright, Great Grand Son of Orville and Wilbur Wright.  Amanda shared that basing this film on Tom Crouch’s book will give the world the big picture about the Wright Brothers.  How be used a treasure trove of Wright family correspondence and diaries, Crouch skillfully weaves the story of the airplane’s invention into the drama of a unique and unforgettable family. He shows us exactly how and why these two obscure bachelors from Dayton, Ohio, were able to succeed where so many better-trained, better-financed rivals had failed. She’s sure Farst will be able to use the book to guide his film. “We are thrilled that Allen Farst and Palmar Studios are taking on one of the greatest stories of humankind,” Wright says.

Farst continued,  “this isn’t just about planes—it’s about the human spirit reaching new heights. Our film captures the awe-inspiring triumphs and heart-wrenching setbacks of the Wright brothers’ who dared to chase the horizon. It’s a celebration of passion, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of the impossible.

The community is invited to support The Flying Machine. Join a movement to honor the untold stories that shaped the skies we navigate today. Don’t let these tales of bravery and ingenuity fade into obscurity—help us bring them to life on the silver screen for the first time and inspire generations to come!”

My First Visit to KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot

August 11, 2024 By Lisa Grigsby

Tonight was a friends and family preview night and I’ll admit my first visit to KPOT was a bit overwhelming, so many choices to make. Be sure and let your server guide you through the experience. Guests cook their own food at the table, either in a sunken grill or in boiling pots of soup on individual burners. You order plates of raw meats and veggies that are brought to the table, and then you grill or boil them to your preference.  The menu is huge! You’ll find red meat, poultry, seafood, even delicacies like quail eggs, plus loads of veggies, both familiar and new.  You can get just hotpot or  bbq or both for just $5 more. You get two hours (you have a running clock on the tablet you order on) to cook as much meat as you can eat.

We started with the hot pot. You order your soup base, choose from Thai Tom Yum Szechuan Spicy, Tomato Soup, Healthy Herbs, Japanese Miso, Korean Seafood, Mushroom or Gluten Free.

  1. Select your base – if you don’t like the soup you choose it is OKAY. You are more than welcome to ask for a different soup and they’ll swap it out.

  2. Choose any/all proteins– Don’t throw all the meat into the pot all at once. Take a couple pieces with your chopsticks and dip them into the soup. Sway it back and forth about 2-3 times until it is just done.

  3. Order vegetables and noodles –Be prepared when adding flavor sponges (tofu, Napa cabbage) to spicy broths because they absorb heat and can become overwhelming to eat.

Each item you order gets delivered to you on a small black plate for you to add to your soup when you are ready.

Take a trip up to the sauce bar and choose sauces and toppings. You can get a small bowl to mix your own sauce, selecting chopped scallions, garlic, oyster sauce, ginger sauce  olive oils, vinegar’s, sesame seeds, and other toppings to perfect your meal.  Also some rotating appetizers, tonight there were spring rolls, kimchi, french fries, chicken wings and crab lets.

Next we ordered up some BBQ items to cook at our table. We got the spicy pork belly, finger ribs, and jumbo shrimp, with some onions, garlic and  pineapple,  Shrimp came in the shell with the legs on.  ( Tip – the garlic shrimp comes cleaned, order that instead.)
Use the tongs for raw foods once it is halfway cooked use the scissors to cut them into bite size pieces.  When cooking proteins, center heat is hotter. Sear one side and move it to the outside to finish cooking, starting new protein in the center.  Rookie mistake, we didn’t added sauces to our BBQ. If you like sweet, add a touch of sugar, oyster sauce (which is sweet and salty), kpot sauce, or sweet and spicy sauce. If you like a touch of sour, add vinegar (in the bottles on the sauce bar) or the ponzu which is a citrus soy sauce.  If you like sweet, add a touch of sugar, oyster sauce (which is sweet and salty), kpot sauce, or sweet and spicy sauce.
Be aware – you aren’t allowed to take leftovers home, and there is a food waste fee if you over-order and leave ingredients uneaten.

Brunch Changes At Dublin Pub

August 7, 2024 By Lisa Grigsby

Starting next Saturday (8/10) Brunch is BACK on Saturdays (11am-2pm) & Sundays as always (10am-2pm) at The Dublin Pub. But it will no longer  be a buffet, instead a limited menu filled with breakfast and lunch items will be offered. They have been losing money on the buffet because not enough people were opting for the buffet and they have had to throw away too much food. And $5 Bloody Mary’s and mimosa’s will be available
They do say their brunch buffet will still be offered on holidays that fall on Sundays (Easter, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, etc.)
