When El Toro moved across the street to The Greene, they took advantage of their old location to launch a new concept. They invite guests to dive into Vallarta, your local paradise!
With a seaside decor, neon palm trees and a ceiling of waves, you might actually believe you are in a tropical location. On a recent lunch visit I was served up a cevche (cooked fish, lime, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro) served with tostadas and crackers, instead of the usual chips and salsa you’d expect from a Mexican Restaurant.
The menu, inspired by dishes from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, is large and broken into appetizers, shareables, soups, seafood specials with some traidtional Mexican classics as well.
I tried the lunch portion of the Pasta Vallarta, which contained a healthy portion of shrimp and scallops, served with a piece of garlic toast. The creamy Nayarit-style sauce it was tossed in made it pretty tasty dish.
Can’t wait to go back and try some of their other dishes and some cocktails from the bar.

The open kitchen allows guests to watch the pizza making process, from dough stretching and topping, to seeing the pizzas bake in one of the three wood-fired pizza ovens.
“The Old Scratch Beavercreek team has worked hard setting up the space, practicing in the kitchen, and internalizing the Old Scratch approach to exceptional service,” Owner, Eric Soller, says about the new restaurant launch. “We are excited to open the doors to the public on January 4th, and hope new and old Old Scratch fans come out to see us.”
Mr.Soller and the whole crew at Old Scratch Beavercreek look forward to becoming a part of the Beavercreek community and providing guests with the Old Scratch experience.

JEB Food Group LLC has done an incredible job changing the look of what was previously the Fox & Hound into a place that feels like a mountain lodge, complete with animal heads on the walls, antler chandeliers and 70 tv’s that will make it a mecca for sports fans. Located adjacent to the Fairfield Commons Mall, Twin Peaks will feature scratch-made food, 32 29-degree beers on tap – including national and local favorites and plenty of eye candy. With a large menu including smashed and seared burgers in-house smoked brisket, pork and wings, soups, salads, tacos, manager Amanda told us one of their most popular dishes is their pot roast.
Last night I got to enjoy a sneak peak meal at the lodge. We were immediately greeted by a bevy of Twin Peaks Girl in barely there red plaid tops and short shorts and taken to a tall table and offered selections from a limited menu.
We selected a couple of cocktails from their featured $5 list. The Don Julio Blackberry Rita was refreshing and slightly sweet. I appreciated the one large round ice cube that kept the drink cold, but didn’t water it down. My dining campaigns enjoyed the tartness of the Wheatley Strawberry Lemonade made with Wheatley Vodka, Monin Strawberry puree, lemonade house sour, lemon juice and Sprite.
Other $5 options included a mojito, a Tito’s bloody mary and the Irish Trashcan, made from house vodka, rum, melon liqueur and a can of Red Bull.
During the preview we were able to select an appetizer for the table and choose loaded fries with hickory smoked pulled pork. They came loaded with cheddar · pepper jack · bacon bits · green onions · pico de gallo · cilantro · diced pickles · smoky sweet BBQ drizzle · bacon ranch and appreciated they cam with tongs to make them easy to share.
For entree’s we shared tastes of three different entrees:
all-beef house made meatballs · marinara made in-house with San Marzano tomatoes · fresh mozzarella · Parmesan · parsley · toasted hoagie roll
smoked pulled pork · creamy coleslaw · pickles · BBQ sauce which came with a choice of regular fries or the sweet potatoe fries we choose.
blackened · southwest pico · house made garlic mashed potatoes · sautéed broccoli
This is the 3rd Ohio location for Twin Peaks, the Texas based chain that was founded in 2005. “We’re excited to bring the ultimate sports lodge to Beavercreek,” said Twin Peaks CEO Joe Hummel. “With wall-to-wall TVs, fans won’t miss a second of their Bengals, Reds, Bearcats or Flyers, as well as every marquee game, event and fight. Plus, our scratch-made food and elevated bar selection offers something for every appetite. We can’t wait to open the lodge and join the Beavercreek community.”
On Monday, June 27th and Tuesday, June 28th they’ll have a soft opening starting at 5pm and come Wednesday, June 29th they’ll begin their regular hours beginning with lunch service at 11am. Weeknights they will be open until midnight and Friday & Saturday will serve until 2am. It’s a huge building and including the patio can seat 314 guests. They don’t take reservations, but based on the number of people that tried to come in during the invite only session last night, I expect they will be quite busy right away. They also offer a 20% discount for military and first responders.

Approximately 20 local LuLaRoe boutique owners, in coordination with nonprofit partner New Path Outreach, are gearing up to distribute 5,000 brand new dresses, skirts, tops, and leggings to women affected by Dayton’s Memorial Day tornado outbreak. Women of all ages, shapes and sizes are invited to participate in a special clothing giveaway scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m. on July 29 at The Point Choice Food Pantry, located at 506 East Main Street in Trotwood. Event details are available at https://tinyurl.com/lularoelovesdayton.
Free clothing for women impacted by the Dayton area tornadoes
All women affected by the Memorial Day tornado outbreak, particularly those in Trotwood and surrounding Montgomery, Miami and Greene County communities, are invited to attend this event. Sizes XXS to 3XL will be available, and all items are brand new with tags. This event is made possible through a generous donation from California-based clothing manufacturer LuLaRoe, and all guests will enjoy a personal shopping experience thanks to local LuLaRoe boutique owners.
Additionally, Kosins Tents & Events is transporting all donated clothing to the event location, free of charge.
While each LuLaRoe boutique is independently owned and operated, local LuLaRoe retailer and national top seller Nicolette Winner says giving back and community are part of LuLaRoe’s culture. “The best part of owning my own boutique is helping women of all shapes, sizes and ages feel as beautiful as I already know they are. My friends and I just want local women to feel confident as they face the challenges of rebuilding that lie ahead,” she says. “They need to know they are loved.”
“We appreciate the generosity of LuLaRoe and their independent retailers,” says Executive Director William Lutz of New Path Outreach. “Partnerships like these allow us to help those that really need our assistance in new ways.”
New Path is a faith-based nonprofit organization providing charitable services to residents in Miami County and portions of Montgomery County, including Trotwood and Harrison Township. You can learn more about the organization by visiting its website at www.newpathserves.org.
The mission of LuLaRoe is to create freedom, serve others, and strengthen families through fashion. LuLaRoe is proud of the impact Independent Fashion Retailers are making in their communities. Since the inception of the company’s Community Support Incentive, which encourages retailers to support causes in their own communities, LuLaRoe has donated over $7 million to organizations around the country.

Teriyaki Salmon in a Bento Box
When familiar faces struck a deal with The Greene to again take over the closed Choe’s Bistro, it was a case of old owners, cleaning up a new owners mess. Michelle and Charles Yang managed “Choe’s Asian Bistro” from December 2014 through March 2017. After turning it over to new management, back rent and tax questions forced The Greene to close the restaurant. The Yangs came back to the rescue re-opening the eatery in April 2018. Today, after 7 months, new management has fine tuned their dishes. They will be adding a new chef and new menu additions are around the corner. The Food Adventures Crew has exclusive scoop on what could be the turning point for Ace Asian Cafe.
Outside of Ace Asian Cafe
HERE’S THE SKINNY ON ACE ASIAN CAFE at THE GREENE:

— The restaurant is open
Monday – Thursday: 11:30am -10pm,

Option for a Korean BBQ Table with built in grill
— Ace Asian Cafe is currently developing some new specials for kids and seniors, as well as special discount days for Air Force members. Could we see a weekly special of endless sushi? Plans are also in the works for a special Food Adventure Tour of Asia ! Stay tuned to Dayton Most Metro for info on the December event.
— Then menu highlights are a full-blown list of sushi offerings, an option to sit at a table with a Korean BBQ built in, Pad Thai and Chinese Dishes. Want some Sake? They’ve got you covered there with a full selection and a cocktail rich bar.
— Besides a full dining room, sushi bar and cocktail bar, Ace Asian Cafe has a 50 person upstairs seating area for private events. It also has a Korean BBQ seating option for about 24 seats in the dining room. The ambiance is elegant and makes it feel like you are at a special occasion.
— Menu prices are typically $12.95- $14.95 for entrees. Lunch Bento Boxes are a great way to try a variety of foods and run about $10.95. Sushi Rolls run from 8 bucks to about $13.50.
We have had good service on our visits here. The wait staff was attentive and friendly.
Time to explore the menu which takes on an entire continent.
Our patented “must eats”…
MUST EATS at ACE ASIAN CAFE:
Calamari and Sweet Chili Sauce
—CRAB RANGOON:
The old standard and everyone’s favorite, seems to be the most popular menu item here. Nice and creamy and a sauce like you have never tasted before for dipping. It is a smoky sweet n sour sauce.
— BENTO BOX WITH TERIYAKI SALMON:
One of the best ways to sample the menu is through a Bento Box. And at the lunch price of $10.95 it is economical. You pick 2 entree dishes and it is served with a spring roll, rice, orange slices and a salad. Your entree choices include pad Thai, sushi rolls, Korean Bulgogi, Curry dishes and Chinese entrees.
— CALAMARI IN SPICY CHILI SAUCE:
Deep fried calamari rings with a fantastic dipping sauce. The sweet sauce and spice, is the perfect contrast to the light crunch. The calamari does not have a fishy taste at all.
Hot n Sour Soup
— HOT N SOUR SOUP:
Their version is definitely worth ordering. All of their soups are good, but this one is the best. Mouth watering with a touch of heat.
— YELLOWTAIL NIGIRI
Then simple thought of a fresh piece of raw fish and rice. If raw is your thing, try the Yellowtail. Dip in wasabi and soy sauce to complete the tasty deal.
— THE WASHINGTON SUSHI ROLL:
Our favorite sushi roll is this one. It features cooked Shrimp Tempura, Cucumber, and cooked Crab topped with Salmon, Avocado, Tobago, Wasabi Dressing, Sweet Sauce & Goma Dressing. The result is a sweet and crunchy taste. If you like shrimp, crab and salmon, you must try this roll.
— GENERAL TSO’S CHICKEN:
They have a nice take on an old favorite. Medium sized chunks of deep-fried shrimp, tossed in a light brown sauce with stir fired vegetable surrounding the plate. A good, old-fashioned staple of Chinese cuisine done right.
— CHICKEN BULGOGI on the KOREAN BBQ TABLE:
General Tso’s Chicken
You or the server get to cook this shredded marinated chicken on the table side grill. It is a fun experience and the aroma as the chicken cooks is amazing. A few minutes and sizzles later, and you have a piping hot chicken grilled dish in front of you. Served with rice, the grilled onion and spices are a perfect blend.
Honorable Mention:
Katsu Chicken Bento Box – A nice white meat piece, sliced and panko fried, drizzled with Asian sauces.
Blue Crab Stuffed Salmon – Baked Salmon with blue crab, stir fired vegetables and Asian spices.

October 5, 2018 marks the launch of Influencers for Action, an Instagram Influencer-led register to vote project based in Dayton, Ohio. The organization features a team of 80 Influencers, of which approximately 2/3 are from the Dayton-area, who will use their platform on social media to relay useful information about the upcoming voter registration deadlines to their followers.
We are living in a time of much discord, both within the society at large, and within our own hearts. It’s a time when many people are finding the stresses of everyday modern life are taking a toll on their health, careers and relationships. What can we do to find some balance in such an overwhelming, fast paced world?
One of the most important ways to maintain inner peace is through meditation. For most people, this advice is not new. They’ve heard it time and again, but with so much to do, who has time to do “nothing”? Ultra successful people like Steve Jobs, Oprah, Seinfeld, Madonna and many others credit meditation as a key factor in their success. If they have time to meditate, then surely we do too!
Taking time to meditate is not “doing nothing.” It’s giving your restless mind time to calm down, to slow your heart rate, and connect with your inner-self. Uma Mullapudi, a local meditation trainer, explained to me “You take a shower and brush your teeth. You don’t think about it, it’s just part of your daily routine. Meditation is a cleansing for the mind, and it needs it just as badly as your body.” I inquired why our minds need this cleansing so badly. “It’s because you take in stressors and negative impressions going through your day. Meditation, especially Heartfulness method, clears those away.”
The Heartfulness Way that Mullapudi describes is a century-old method of meditation with the power to facilitate an immediate, tangible spiritual experience, irrespective of a person’s faith. This non-denominational practice is taught all over the world, and most recently, the subject of a new best selling book The Heartfulness Way – Simple Tools for Spiritual Transformation. In this heart-centered book, a student, Joshua Pollock, is in conversation with his teacher, Kamlesh D. Patel—affectionately known as Daaji.
While many books describe refined states of being, The Heartfulness Way goes further, providing a pragmatic course to experience those states for oneself, which, per the book’s guiding principle, is “greater than knowledge.” Joshua Pollock is a Heartfulness trainer and practitioner from the United States. In fact, he visited Dayton in his early days of learning the Heartfulness meditation practice. He returns to Dayton on June 24th and June 25th to discuss the journey of writing this book, and how Heartuflness has changed his life, and can help yours too!
The sessions include Q&A with the Joshua Pollock, along with a 30 min Heartfulness medtation session. Find out how you can earn about the Heartfulness Way at one of two local sessions listed below. Also a trailer for the book is at bottom of this article.

The City of Beavercreek is working to become a Tree City USA. The Tree City USA Program is the framework for a healthy, sustainable urban forestry program with substantial benefits. To qualify as a Tree City USA community, the City must meet four standards established by the Arbor Day Foundation and the National Association of State Foresters. The standards that need met are: A Tree Board or Department; Tree Care Ordinance; A Community Forestry Program with an Annual Budget of at Least $2 Per Capita; and An Arbor Day Observance and Proclamation.
On November 27, 2017 Beavercreek City Council, by Ordinance, established a “Tree Commission to regulate the planting, care, and removal of trees.” This is a newly created board to advise Council regarding the planting, care and removal of trees. This board will recommend species and variety of trees to be planted within the City, implement an annual Arbor Day observance, and establish and maintain an inventory of City street trees. Board members are Jeff Buerschen, Jeanne Kunay Steve McLane, Stuart Moats, and Matt Hempstead.
The Tree Advisory Board together with City staff will be responsible for the care of all trees on city owned property and determine who will perform necessary tree work. Involving residents and business owners creates a wide awareness of what trees do for the community and provides broad support for better tree care. “Becoming a tree City USA is a great way to improve community pride. The program helps residents feel good about the place they live and work,” stated Pete E. Landrum, City Manager. Annual recognition shows visitors and prospective residents that trees, conservation, and the environment are important to the community.
To meet another standard, the City will hold an Arbor Day ceremony Friday, April 27, 2018, 6pm at Dominick Lofino Park, 640 Grange Hall Road. The festivities will include planting of a ceremonial tree, activities provided by Greene County Library, and each family will receive a tree to plant in their yard.
Trees make our city a special place to live. They shade homes, businesses and streets. They clean our air and water, reduce storm water run-off, increase our property values, reduce energy costs and make our neighborhoods greener, safer, and healthier. Tree City USA recognition from the Arbor Day Foundation would highlight the City of Beavercreek’s commitment to urban forestry, community improvement and civic pride.

Stressed? Seeking some peace of mind? Aren’t we all! It’s not as complicated as we tend to imagine. Self care, through movement and meditation, can dramatically improve our ability to cope with an increasingly stressful world.
Lots of folks are unaware that we have a wonderful resource nestled right here in the Miami Valley! The Natural Path Meditation Center, a non-denominational center that teaches a heart-based form of meditation called Heartfulness, is located in Beavercreek, conveniently close to both Fairfield and I-35 (directions below).
This weekend the Center is hosting their 2nd Annual HeartFest event. It’s a FREE & fun wellness festival, with workshops and vendors for all ages! Organizers hope that by offering tools for self care and inner peace, people will be able to live a more balanced life. How wonderful would that be for our community?
Curious about meditation, yoga, and wellness? Looking for ways to cope with stress? Seeking inner peace? Something to do with the kids? All of the above? Then this is sure to be a wonderful day you won’t want to miss!
