The Sugar Guild’s First Buffet in Their New Space

November 3, 2023 By Lisa Grigsby

Chef DD shared with us her excitement about her new space at Spark Fairborn.  She says being able to rent the community kitchen that is so well equipped is a huge advantage for her business. She’s spent the last year working out of The Red Carpet Tavern, which she says was a very valuable stop on her adventure and she’s grateful for the opportunity she had there.  But she’s thrilled to be able to move on by having a spot she can offer her full bakery menu, which folks can order from the menu and pick up.   She is working to set up Door Dash to make delivery a possibility.

She’s also excited to have a place to offer her buffet meals and her first one in the new space will be November 12th. She’ll offer 2 seatings of 50 people at 9am & 12pm and if they sell out she’ll add another. Pre sale price is $28/person with kids under 12 years old for $10. Call now and get your spot (740)908-1699

She plans to have 2 more buffet events in December, one breakfast/brunch the other a dinner menu. She’s thrilled she’s been able to keep all her staff and bring back a few others that have worked with her previously to staff these buffets.
Chef DD is now taking orders for thanksgiving desserts. We have pick up and delivery options for thanksgiving week. 30% deposit required with the order. You can pay with cash/Venmo/check. Deadline for holiday orders 11/17.

Historic Germantown Restaurant Under New Ownership

October 30, 2023 By Lisa Grigsby

Bryce & Sheree Henson, are the new owners of The Florentine in Germantown, as of 11am today.  No strangers to business ownership, the couple purchased The Creamery at Market & Main about 3 1/2 years ago, which serves up coffee, espresso, muffins and ice cream from Young’s Jersey Dairy. About a year after that acquistion they purchased  the tanning salon, Tan & Co.  And for about a year they started talking about The Florentine.

And as of today they’ve made that happen.  Sheree, who grow up in Germantown had found memories of going there for special occasions with her family.  She and Bryce, who’ve been married for 20 years, love the historic past of the Florentine, which was opened 1814  by Philip Gunckel, the founder of Germantown, to welcome travelers as they passed through Germantown. They are looking to build on the nostalgia and history of this business.  They’d love to hear from you if you have pictures or stories of your visits there over the years.

The Henson family

With eight children it’s just not possible for them to be hands on full time in the restaurant so they’ve hired  Nick Paglione as their general manager.  He’ll work on tweaking the menu and elevating some of the dishes.  Bryce says he’s a huge steak fan, so they’ll continue to have great steaks, but look for a few different preparations to be added. He says his wife wife has added a fantastic Brussel sprout dish to the menu and they will also be adding a lobster mac and cheese.   They will also use their expertise from The Creamery to add some coffee drinks and cocktails to the menu, including an Affogato-an espresso served over ice cream.

Other changes coming include removing some of the tables from the bar side and adding some leather couches around the fireplace and having a custom made community table built to add to that space to create a warm , welcoming cozy tavern feel.  Other plans include adding a large patio this spring.

Clink, Sip & Savor at Uptown Centerville’s Newest Spot!

October 26, 2023 By Lisa Grigsby

Rhonda & Matt Hiatt’s dream is coming true!  Tomorrow night they open Meridien Uptown in Centerville. They describe it “as  a place where community and culture intersect to create unforgettable experiences…”

They’ve totally remodeled the old Sweeney’s Seafood, opened it up and given it an upscale elegance.   Rhonda says they created an environment where they can bring all the tastes of the world from their travels together and share with friends and new friends

The runway filled with small bites tonight

Their food menu will rotate with small bites, salads and sandwiches. Here’s the opening menu:

They’ll take reservations for tables but the runways, which seats about 30 will always be open seating.  They seat about 130 guests, in addition to patio seating when weather cooperates.

With a fully stocked bar, I noticed lots of high end bourbons, Matt shared they’d “be a great spot for when you didn’t want to drive downtown to The Century Bar.” The cocktail menu will change frequently, paired to match their bites menu.

Kayla Thorp is their Special Events coordinator and you’ll want to reach out to her to rent the space for private events when they aren’t open.

St. Anne’s Hill Carry Out To Open Thursday

October 24, 2023 By Lisa Grigsby

The carryout side of The Local 937 will open for business this Thursday from 10am – 6pm. The shelves will be stocked with snacks, soda’s, energy drinks, candy, and other small grocery goods, including an ice cream freezer by the time it opens.

Rachel Gannon

Owner Rachel Gannon, a Realtor with Home Experts Realty spends a lot of time flipping houses in St. Anne’s Hill Historic District.  When this property on E. Fifth St., that had been built in the mid 1800’s, was at risk of being torn down the neighborhood  wasn’t having it.  Gannon stepped in and bought the property, which had been a grocery story in the 1860’s, went on to become an ice cream store, costume store and was most recently an antique store.  When she showed her father her latest acquisition, he informed her that her grandpa had lived in an apartment upstairs.  That confirmed to Gannon that she was meant to bring this property back to life. She says her mantra is “I’ll try anything twice and figure it out as I go.”

She will focus on using local vendors to stock the store.  Green Leaf printing has helped her create some tanks, t-shirts and hoodies. Expect sweets from local bakers and more.  Gannon, who has used the cities 1st floor fund to help get open wants to support other businesses that benefited from those same funds.

Cuban

As she talked with her neighbors, they encouraged her to add a sandwich shop aspart of the plan. That will be phase two of the opening. She’s been experimenting with products for the sandwich side and has 3 hot and 4 cold sandwiches that have made the menu.

Made on a panini grill the hots will be a Cuban, a Reuben and a Turkey Reuben.

A Chopped Italian wrap, a Veggie sandwich on naan.and a BLT wrap will also be on the menu.  Baker Benji will be providing breads for the sandwich shop.

These Chipotle-Ranch Deviled Eggs topped with capers and bacon bits will be available for carry out.

A beer and wine carryout license was applied for back in May, but she’s been informed that the issue may have to go to a vote on a March ballot. She’s currently waiting for word back to so if that is indeed true. If so, she’ll need 128 signatures from neighbors to get on that ballot.  And she’ll also need big support for the shop, as the revenue from liquor sales was definitely part of her sales plan to be successful.

The second floor of the building will be
home to Salon on the Hill , with 5 booths for weekly rental.

If you’re a stylist looking for new space, this one is beautiful with a great location!. They are booth rental, supply your own product and tools, write your own schedule, be your own boss!!

Dia de Muertos Parade and Celebration

October 19, 2023 By Lisa Grigsby

The Mexican celebration of life will return for the 12th year on Saturday, October 21st. Día De Muertos will be a place to remember our loved ones, eat delicious food, and enjoy a special performance by Maria Reyna.

This FREE, FAMILY FRIENDLY celebration provides a beautiful opportunity to remember and share memories of loved ones who have passed.

Pre-parade: At noon the celebration begins across from the Dublin Pub (5th and Wayne Ave). Guests will gather for face painting, food trucks, and live entertainment. The parade will kick off at 2:00 pm and travel west through the Oregon District to the Main Library at 215 E. Third Street (the route is about a half mile). At the library, we will have offrendas (altars) for loved ones, as well as activities for kids. The celebration will conclude with the performance by Maria Reyna at the Eichelberger Forum – starting after the arrival of the parade (around 3:00 pm).

Downtown Brewery Closed

October 17, 2023 By Lisa Grigsby

Downtown’s Lock 27 Brewing & Taproom has permanently shut the doors.  The location opened up Tues, Sept 5th of 2017 on the first floor of the Delco Building, occupying 12,000 square feet and sat about 120.  When it first opened it served lunch and dinner. Most recently it was open 3-9pm Mon – Wed and opened at noon Thurs- Sunday.

According to a facebook post from former employee Tony Thomas, “I just started @ at Lock 27 downtown. Five days later it’d closed permanently.” Employees received an email to notify them of the closing- effective that day.

He also shared that the Centerville location is staying open.

Anther former manager said things have been rough for a while, with many of their deliveries demanding cash on delivery and many vendors calling for past due payments.

We’ve reached out to Founder Steve Barnhart and his son Collin, the sales manager for more information and haven’t heard back yet.  We’ll follow up with more information once we get it.

Sweet Treats Festival Kicks Off Today

October 13, 2023 By Lisa Grigsby

When the Sweet Treats Festival first started we brought all the vendors together under one roof.  Then during Covid we restructured the festival into a touring event.  Meaning you got your ticket book and then visited each vendor at their business during their normal hours, which made it more doable for the merchants.  No extra staff was required and guests could see all their merchandise on display, while still getting a sweet treat.

This year the Festival on Tour starts today, Oct 13th and runs through Sun, Oct 22nd.  Tickets run $25 and include 10 treats. Oh, did we mention Sweetest Day is Saturday, Oct 21st.  What a perfect way to celebrate!
