Dayton at Work and Play: Patrick Van Voorhis

August 2, 2023 By Bill Franz

Stopped in at Grist (46 W Fifth) for the first time and had a great lunch. We met Patrick, who owns the business along with his wife Casey. The two met at the Culinary Institute of America and then worked in some well known restaurants in California. They opened Grist in downtown Dayton two years ago.

In addition to being a sandwich shop Grist sells fresh pasta, bread and desserts and serves dinner. We enjoyed our lunch so much that I know we’ll be back for dinner soon.

About Bill Franz

In retirement Bill Franz bought a camera, learned how to use it, and became a volunteer photographer. He has done photo projects for the Humane Society of Greater Dayton and for almost two dozen other local organizations.

In 2013 Bill started a project of his own – photographing people at work. Since then he has photographed hundreds of workers, from butchers and bakers and candy makers to clowns and sculptors and fire eaters. The photos have appeared in solo and group art exhibitions and also in less traditional venues such as hospitals, retail stores, nature centers and breweries. They have been seen by hundreds of thousands of people. Profits from photo sales go to Dayton area nonprofits.
