Recap: Big Brews & Blues.. and FOOD !

May 23, 2013 By Dayton937 3 Comments

Big Brews & Blues – one terrific event

Drinking craft beers while listening to a regional blues man hum away on his harmonica. What better way to raise money for Diabetes Dayton? The annual Big Brews & Blues event was held last weekend at Carrillon Park and hundreds of attendees enjoyed dozens of craft beers. There were Big Brews, there were Blues, and of course, there was food. We were on hand for another Food Adventure supporting a local charity. Pouring beer in full force were the staff of Dayton Most Metro and Lisa Grigsby with Dayton Dining. Tickets were $30 in advance or $35 at the door. The event went from 5pm – 9pm and each guest received a souvenir beer tasting glass. Full pint tickets were also available for a special price.

The crowd danced and drank. They ate and socialized. They sipped and quipped. So which brews were our favorites? What food items blues.. (ahem) blew us away? All that is coming, but first a summary.

If you didn’t attend Big Brews & Blues…

HERE IS WHAT YOU MISSED:

—Endless samplings of almost 50 craft beers from local and national breweries. A detailed list of the beers may be found HERE.

—Blues acts with roots from Chicago, Tennessee, Detroit, Cincinnati and Columbus. It was an incredible night of good blues music. Groups included Joe and Jack Waters, Them Bones, Johnny Mack & the Heavyweights, and finally Big Joe Blues.

—Food Vendors. This is our thing, so we enjoyed the likes of Brock Masterson Catering, Hickory River Smokehouse, Fressa Food Truck and Kaimelsky’s Food Cart.

— Breweries Represented:

Dayton Beer Company, Yellow Springs Brewery, Valley Vineyards, Weasel Boy, Listermann, Mt Carmel, Rivertown, Christian Morlein, Hoppin Frog, Barley’s, Ohio Brewing Company, Jackie O’s, Great Lakes, Erie Brewing, Thirsty Dog, Triton, Anderson Valley, Hinterland, Fathead’s, Revolution, Two Brothers, Stone Brewing, Brew Kettle Taproom, Bell’s, Southern Tier, Founders, Troegs, Ommegang, Uinta, 21st Amendment, Atwater Brewery, Elevator, Finch’s Beer Company, Anchor Brewing, Kona, Redhook, Shocktop, Widmer Brothers, Goose Island, Boston Beer Co., Leinenkugel, Harpoon, and Ace Premium Hard Ciders.

What goes better with beer than a Nathan’s hot Dog from Kaimelsky’s Food Cart?

There were so many good beers and decent food, that we were pressed to pick just one favorite, but here we go…

OUR FAVORITES FROM THE FESTIVAL:

HUNGRY JAX’s FAVORITE BIG BREW: The Sam Adam’s Honey Queen Braggot was her top pick. It is made with 3 types of honey, and had a nice hoppy flavor. They tapped the keg right in front of her, and she was in heaven. It was one of those “Damn, this is good!” moments.

HUNGRY JAX’S FAVORITE FOOD OFFERING: What goes better with beer than a Nathan’s hot dog from Kaimelsky’s Food Cart? This hot dog was topped with spicy mustard, onions and Sriracha sauce. It was worth it.

THE BIG RAGU’s FAVORITE BIG BREW: Whippet Wheat from Thirsty Dog Brewery gets his vote for its crisp taste with touch of banana flavor. It was the first time we had a Thirsty Dog beer on tap since the mid 1990’s. It was like a flashback, so we put on some MC Hammer pants and danced in the tent until security showed up.

THE BIG RAGU’s FAVORITE FOOD OFFERING: Hickory River’s Pulled Pork Sandwich is Ragu’s pick. The slow cooked pork was great, but the real secret was the incredible BBQ sauce. Choices of topping were Sweet, Hot or Mixed sauce on your sandwich. We chose mixed, and that made all the difference.

This was a fun filled night. We poured a few beers for MostMetro. We had delicious crab cakes from Brock Masterson’s catering, and some tasty buffalo chips with blue cheese dip from Fressa Food Truck. We talked at length with the owners and managers of Star City Brewery, which will be opening in the former Peerless Mill site before the end of 2013. Event photographer Sarah Browning, also chatted with us, while snapping a few pics of The Big Ragu.

We even had an ‘America’s Got Talent’ moment, when we were getting our groove on near the stage with the blues band. We even snapped a photo of the lead singer during one of the blues sets. You won’t see that anywhere else, unless they copy our soulful dance moves.

Here’s to not having to hear about hiking and heartburn anymore ! Brews & Blues is a blast

The best part of this event is that it benefits Diabetes Dayton each year. Proceeds from the Big Brews & Blues help uninsured local residents with diabetes. Funds pay for desperately needed supplies. Diabetes Dayton also educates people in the Miami Valley who are suffering from diabetes, as well as paying for summer camp for diabetic children who just want to lead a normal, active life. Thank you to Diabetes Dayton Executive Director Susan McGovern for welcoming us as special guests to this benefit. Canned Soft Drinks and Bottled Water were for sale benefiting the Dougie Apple Tree Memorial Scholarship Fund. Dougie was a local resident, who passed away from diabetes at just 26 years old.

If you missed Big Brews & Blues, make sure you catch it this time next year. Stay tuned to Dayton Most Metro for info! The Big Ragu will be there in 2014, at this Food Adventure for a good cause. It will be another ‘blast in a glass.’ We promise not spill any beer or BBQ sauce on you.

Food Adventure with Mz Pickles Sandwich Shop

November 29, 2012 By Dayton937 Leave a Comment

We love visiting Mom and Pop establishments. In this case, just a mom establishment, Mz Pickles Sandwich Shop to be exact. She owns a small sandwich shop located at 17 South Main Street in downtown Miamisburg and has been open since 2011. It is a great place to get a quick bite and the menu is reasonably priced. Who doesn’t love a gourmet sandwich menu with everything under 10 dollars?

Mz. Pickles menu consists of specialty hot dogs, panini pressed sandwiches, soups, salads and of course, pickles. Even the hot dogs are grilled on the panini press for a unique taste. Sandwiches may be ordered hot or cold, with your choice of toppings. Sandwich sizes are half, whole or huge and all come with a side pickle spear. Hungry Jax recommends the turkey panini sub and their homemade chili. The Big Ragu’s favorites are the pizza sub and the slaw dog.

Options for dessert include homemade gourmet brownies and fresh Otis Spunkmeyer cookies. One such cookie offering is a “stuffed” cookie, which is a chocolate chip cookie with an Oreo inside. The cookie looks like a mini flying saucer, and tastes really good. Definitely a fun dessert invention that we have never seen before.

Mz. Pickles is a deli with personality. Orders may be placed “to go”, or patrons may use the quaint dining room that is decorated with nostalgic items and vinyl album covers. Put simply, this place is good food made by a friendly owner who cares about what she is serving. Mz. Pickles is a warm and inviting atmosphere for a Food Adventure. The Big Ragu doesn’t think you will be disappointed by this locally owned eatery or the charm. If you are in downtown Miamisburg, “pressed” and “in a pickle” about where to eat, now you know where to go.

Food Adventures: Small Bites for 4/5/2012

April 5, 2012 By Dayton937 Leave a Comment

Food Adventures with the Big Ragu and Crew: Another installation of “Small Bites.”

Here in “Small Bites,” we feature some of our favorite food items across the Dayton area. We are not food critics, we love to eat. Often imitated never duplicated, we set out to let you know about some of the better eats around the area that you may not know about !

Owners Rick “Voltzy” & Jack Sperry Want Your Vote to Decide!

THROWDOWN: VOLTZY’S vs. THE HAMBURGER WAGON, on Saturday June 9, 2012

Our first small bite is actually a coming attraction. Two of the most popular burger joints in the Dayton area are going to have an old fashioned “Throwdown!” at the Rock n’ Green Tomato Festival in Miamisburg, Ohio. The Hamburger Wagon of Miamisburg will go toe to toe with Voltzy’s Rootbeer Stand of Moraine. Get to this festival and cast your vote on Saturday June 9th. Who will win this burger brawl to settle it all ?? We visited with Voltzy’s owner Rick Volz and the Hamburger Wagon owner Jack Sperry, and they both think they are going to win ! The Throwdown is in the early stages, so there will be more details in the coming weeks. Look for a follow up feature story from the Big Ragu in May right here on DaytonMostMetro, when we will cast our votes for the best burger!

THE SANDWICHES at JIMMIES LADDER 11:

The Ladder 11 Sandwich

Are you looking for a great, casual bar and grill that serves up top notch sandwiches? Food Adventures recommends that you try Jimmie’s Ladder 11 on Brown Street. Jimmie’s ladder 11 resides in an old renovated 1892 firehouse and is full of atmosphere. They also make some amazing sandwiches. One of our favorite sandwiches is the Ladder 11 which consists of Romanian Style Pastrami, Corned Beef, Hand Cut Cole Slaw, and House Russian Dressing on Rye. The menu has a large variety of sandwiches, pastas, and some incredible appetizers. Try the creole cheesecake…… you will not be sorry. Jimmies Ladder 11 is located at 936 Brown Street across from Miami Valley Hospital. For more information, check out jladder11.com.

THE CREPES at CREPE BOHEME at the 2nd Street Market:

Veggie Crepe

From the crepes in Paris, France to a Chocolate Crepe from a street vendor. We have been fans ever since! Fortunately for us, we have Crepe Boheme located at the 2nd Street Market in Downtown Dayton. Today we even opt for for a Vegetarian Crepe rather than the crepes made with Nutella. The Crepe-Master Sabine skillfully pours the thin layer of batter on the hot plate and the magic begins. We suggest you try a create your own crepe you with: Spinach, Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Brie and an incredible Red Pepper Sauce. For the carnivores out there, you can always try the Black Forest Ham Crepe. This crepe is packed with Black Forest Ham, Brie, and topped with Mushrooms. Give Crepe Boheme a try and you will be hooked!

THE 2 FISH OR CHICKEN SANDWICHES FOR 2 BUCKS at RALLY’s:

Rally’s: 2 Nice Sized Fish Sandwiches for 2 Bucks

Two dolla to make you holla! We don’t usually write about fast food chains, but every once in a great while, we will see something worth mentioning. Such is the case with the current deal at Rally’s Hamburgers, the infamous double drive-thru place. The Big Ragu’s obsession with fast food had him doing a double take. Rally’s has a deal of 2 fish or chicken sandwiches for 2 bucks total. The sandwiches aren’t tiny either. The bang for your buck is great. Satisfy your hunger for 2 dollars? When is the last time that happened? Other monster chains are charging around 4 bucks for the same thing, so make sure you stop in at Rally’s for this fantastic deal during the Lenten season.

Look for our FOOD ADVENTURES every THURSDAY on DaytonMostMetro.com!

Food Adventures Crosses Paths with the Hamburger Wagon

September 22, 2011 By Dayton937 2 Comments

In the past few years, we have noticed an influx of restaurants in Dayton claiming to sell “gourmet” hamburgers. Many of these places allow you to add fried eggs, avocados, and even fried pickles to your burger for an additional cost. We have enjoyed Food Adventures while pigging out of these places of course, but The Big Ragu and Crew are simple creatures, who like their burgers made simple. If you are like us and want a great “old school” style hamburger, you need to head down to the Hamburger Wagon in downtown Miamisburg, Ohio. The little white cart with the red awning is an institution in Miamisburg that has been serving up hamburgers since Dayton’s Great Flood almost a hundred years ago.

It all started in 1913, when a tremendous flood devastated the city, leaving many houses and lives destroyed. Thousands of people ended up living in tent cities. Hot food was pretty sparse and this led Sherman “Cocky” Porter to dig out his families recipe for hamburgers and pass them out to flood victims. The people loved the burgers so much, Porter decided to sell them on Saturdays in a little “Hamburger Wagon.” They have been serving burgers ever since.

Smashing the deep fried burgers, and laying out the buns

Our endless journey for special dining places, led us to the “Burg” to enjoy some of Porter’s incredible hamburgers. When Food Adventures arrived at the Hamburger Wagon, we were pretty happy to see only two people ahead of us in line. If you have ever gone to the Hamburger Wagon on a weekend, there is usually a continuous line of people waiting to indulge in these wonderful hamburgers. We decided to look over the menu and that literally took about 2 seconds. The menu has only four items on it: a single, a double, potato chips, and pop. We didn’t dare ask for cheese because the sign states “No stinkin’ cheese or sloppy sauces”. Hungry Jax was bummed about the no cheese rule while a sauce loving Ragu had to come to terms with the fact that he can’t destroy this hamburger with his usual arsenal of sauces. We decided to comfort each other and go on with the Food Adventure. We each ordered three burgers, a bag of chips, and soda. We stood back and watched the magic happen.

Bun, burger, onion, pickle, pepper.. it’s that simple

Each little burger is thrown in a deep cast iron pan of hot grease and cooked up until it is nice and crispy. Just imagine how large the Big Ragu’s eyes got when he saw the hamburgers go in the old fashioned deep fryer! Once the burgers are done cooking, they are thrown on a bun, topped with a pickle slice, onion, and a dash of pepper. The burgers are then tossed into a paper sack and placed in our bratwurst looking fingers. No wraps, just a napkin or two. Maybe the lack of post cooking packaging is the way that the Hamburger Wagon shows they care about the environment.

The dining room choices are about as plentiful as the menu: you can either sit in your car or enjoy a nice cozy park bench. It was a beautiful day out and we decided to sprawl out on the park bench and enjoy the weather and the burgers. We absolutely loved the fact that we didn’t have to waste precious gorging time removing the piping hot burgers from any wrappers. We were amazed just how good these hamburgers tasted. We are considering starting a petition to rename the city Miamisburger. We don’t exactly know what the recipe is, but we were told it’s a combination of hamburger, sausage, and corn flakes. Whatever the recipe is, it’s absolutely amazing! One of the most appealing things about the burgers is the “crunch factor.” They are already crunchy from being deep fried and when you add the pickles and onions, the sandwich is taken to a whole new level. Trust us when we say that these are some of the tastiest and most unique burgers that you will try.

Click on the incredible hamburger for a closer view

The next time that you are near Miamisburg, we highly recommend checking out the iconic Hamburger Wagon. If you have been to the wagon, then we “spoke” too soon (groan). The food is one of a kind, and you won’t go bankrupt while feeding your family. A single burger, bag of chips, and can of pop each cost $1.10 and a double burger rings up at $2.20. We like this place so much we were sizing up how to roll the wagon away with us. Maybe they would at least let us ride around in it for a while for a real Food Adventure.

Sometimes, good things can come out of a tragedy. Due to an event like the 1913 flood, your grateful foodies The Food Adventure Crew, are able to enjoy these little hamburgers, with the big taste, today.

Have you been to the Hamburger Wagon? If so, what are your thoughts on this legendary eatery in Miamisburg?
