By Leave a Comment

BBQ paired with Hairless Hare Beer

It is going to be a “Hoppy April Fools Day” on April 1st in Dayton.  That is because the Food Adventures Crew is showcasing a dinner teaming up two North Dayton favorites.  Company 7 BBQ will partner with Hairless Hare Brewery for a 5 course, one-night-only dinner!  Hairless Hare is busy brewing four beers to be paired with the five course.

The best thing about this dinner may be the price.  Tickets are pre-pay only and are $25, which includes the tip!

***TICKETS MAY ONLY BE BOUGHT ONLINE THROUGH THIS LINK—> click HERE 

GREAT LOCAL BBQ:

Company 7 BBQ, in Englewood is known for 7 great, homemade BBQ sauces, and tremendous, slow cooked BBQ meats.   Company 7 has been featured  on national TV with a spot on the Travel Channel’s show “Food Paradise.”  Now it is time for an epic Food Adventure like no other.  The owners are a dad, son and a son-in-law, all of whom are firefighters.  They learned the BBQ craft through slow cooking methods and the fruits of their knowledge are your treat.

 

GREAT LOCAL BEER:

Hairless Hare Brewery, in Vandalia since 2013, is known for pushing the envelope of taste and ingenuity.  Their variety of beers is unmatched.  They experiment with different styles and flavors, and inventiveness is one of their trademarks.    So is quality and consistency.  Food Adventures met with owners Matt Harris and Mike Legg and, their beer pairings will go perfectly with the great BBQ.

Now, lets recap what you need to know about this one-night-only, one-of-a-kind feast for all you local foodies…

April Fools day will bring some BBQ and BEER together… no joke !

“Scratch Food” Caters the Suzy Pender Memorial for the 14th year

By Leave a Comment

BBQ Baby Back Ribs from Scratch Event Catering

In all of our Food Adventure articles, we feature extraordinary people doing extraordinary things. And even then some people stand out among the rest.  Take Chef Matt Hayden for example, owner of Scratch Event Catering.  He has owned bars, eateries, and learned to hone his culinary skills. Whether it is  taking an egg to whisk it, or smoking brisket, he is on top of it all.  He donates times to various charities, and never boasts or asks for recognition.  Matt does it for his love of the cause, and his love of pleasing people with good food.

One such event is the Suzy Pender Memorial Golf Outing.  This annual event will have its 14th golf outing this Saturday at Jamaica Run Golf Course.  Suzy was a Centerville native who had a love for golf and children.  She passed away unexpectedly in 2001,  at the age of 30.  She was an absolute angel, who was taken from this world, way too soon.  The golf outing honors her memory and helps causes that were close to her heart.  The purpose of the event, is to raise money to buy stuffed animal Teddy Bears.  These bears are given to hospitalized children to help comfort them.  Tens of thousands of bears have been given to children at Miami Valley Hospital over the past 14 years.

Matt Hayden has also been there over the past 14 years donating his food, time and resources to make this event what it is today.  Matt’s wife Carey along with a committee of Suzy’s friends, run the benefit without a hitch.  Saturday’s event  has already sold out the maximum  # of golfers.  Again, we can’t say enough good things about the committee that organizes this golf outing each year.  The door prizes and fun times are second to none.

Scratch Event Catering typically makes and incredible BBQ buffet spread featuring all you want baby back ribs, pulled pork, roasted chicken and some tasty southern style soul sides.  It is nothing short of a great Food Adventure !  Every year we see Matt running around, serving hot food, and providing a delicious and filling meal.  He and his staff work hard, and it shows in the end product.

Chef Matt Hayden, a Dayton Native who gives back to the Community

Today we recognize Matt’s dedication of 14 years and counting to this charity.  We also say THANK YOU, for giving back to the community, year after year.
