The Bun Bros. ConeyLand in Riverside
Coneyland has operated for over 10 years with 3 operators prior to Mike Davis relaunching it this summer as The Bun Bros Coneyland. Inspired by his time spent in the Army stationed in Korea and his love of food, he was excited to introduce a line of gourmet hot dogs, featuring a kimchi hot dog, the blue bacon cheddar dog, slaw dog, kraut dog, and of course coney dogs.
Mike and his wife Renee debated about the chili for the coney’s, Mike preferring an East Coast meaty ketchup based chili, while she preferred a Cincinnati based chili flavored with cinnamon and allspice. So they agreed they’d offer both for the first month and then go with the one that sold the best. But both sold equally well, so now every Monday they spend hours making 8 gallons of the two chili’s to prep for the week.
The menu continues to grow, featuring burgers that include a bacon cheeseburger, jalapeno burger, a greek burger and Mikes favorite- the Kimchi burger. They’ve added a BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich, a philly cheese steak and a pork tenderloin sandwich as well. Sides include chili cheese fries, mac and cheese bites, funnel cake fries, fried okra, deep fried mushrooms, pickles or cauliflower, cream cheese or cheddar cheese poppers, coleslaw and onion petals.
Strawberry is for lovers sundae
And then there’s the ice cream…
Whether you want a cone, a cup or a sundae they’ve got the options! The original Bun Bros Hot Fudge Sundae is just $3.75, or you may prefer a banana split, brownie sundae or the short cake sweetie. Of course you can also do a float or choose one fo the 10 flavors of slushies they offer. Then there’s the Bun Bros Brain Freeze- vanilla soft serve ice cream blended with a slushie and toped with whip cream.
The location in Riverside was owned by Mike’s buddy Tony Bowen, who also owns the adjacent Valley Billiards, and made him a rental deal that he couldn’t resist. Having never worked in the food industry Mike shares that “it’s been an education running the business and he’s learning each day.” A Beavercreek native, he was also unsure of the location, but has been pleasantly surprised by the welcome and support he’s received in the neighborhood.

Startup Grounds Cafe Opens at The Hub
Clarece and Gerald Richardson, owners of Rich Taste Catering are the guiding force for the new Startup Grounds Coffee Cafe. Clarece, an Air Force veteran, handles the administrative side of the business, while Gerald handles the kitchen side, with a team of cooks. They’ve had their catering office at the Arcade for about 7 months and when management put out an RFP for someone to run the coffee shop, the Richardsons applied.
The idea was sparked last winter after they participated in the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program through Sinclair College. The program encouraged entrepreneurs to create a growth opportunity for their business, so the couple who’s catering business was booming, identified a desire to grow the wholesale part of their food business. They started selling sandwiches and salads at the Gem City Market, providing 400-500 items per week. So the Arcade Cafe seemed like a natural fit.
This is the first retail store in the newly renovated Arcade. Rich Taste will be selling coffee, muffins and grab and go salads, sandwiches as well as featuring items from minority and women owned businesses like cookies from The Cookieologist, vegan chocolate chip cookies from Bless Me Sweets, cupcakes from Twist Cupcakery and coffee from NameSake Coffee. Clarece looks forward to the opportunity to find new vendor to showcase and mentor into how to grow their businesses.
Startup Grounds also has a unique partnership with the University of Dayton’s student-run Flyer Enterprises. “While customers won’t see the back-office support we’ll provide to Startup Grounds, the business can’t function without a solid accounting and marketing strategy. This involvement gives us great experience while helping Flyer Enterprises meet our goals of connecting more with the greater Dayton community and building relationships with underrepresented vendors who might be interested in partnering with some of our on-campus operations in the future,” says Carolyn Haney, Flyer Enterprises CEO.
Although their official Grand Opening isn’t until next week, they’ve opened the gates and encourage folks to come see the space, buy a delicious treat and get a head start on determining your favorite drink.

Which truck will take home the $10K grand prize at Saturday’s Springfield Rotary Food Truck Competition?!
After having to cancel last year’s event, the Springfield Rotary Gourmet Food Truck Competition is back for a seventh year, featuring palate-pleasing mobile cuisine and live entertainment in an environment that is fun for all ages. The community-favorite event will run from 11am to 9:30pm Saturday, Sept. 11 at Veterans Park in Springfield.
“We are pleased to be able to bring this charitable event back to Springfield this year,” said Eddie Bell, Rotary member and Food Truck Competition marketing committee chair. “It is an amazing way to bring the community together to make a difference. The best part about this event is that 100 percent of the proceeds go toward various causes, including services to people with disabilities and scholarships.”
The 30 food trucks competing this year have a wide variety of cuisines that are all gourmet and stand out in their own unique way, with the ultimate goal of winning the $10,000 grand prize. From Mexican, Asian, Latin, Mediterranean, Peruvian, Puerto Rican, South African and Creole choices, to gourmet sandwiches, BBQ, waffles, seafood, and sweet treats and desserts, the trucks lining the park’s pathway will cure any craving while creating new ones along the way. The Springfield Food Truck mobile app features the entire list of trucks participating, along with all other event information.
In addition to the $10,000 grand prize, a $5,000 runner-up and $2,000 third-place prize will be decided by a panel of five local professional chefs and at least five roving anonymous volunteer judges. Chef judges for this year’s competition feature an all-Springfield-based panel including:
- Micah Berner, owner of Cecil and Lime
- Chef Lisa Freeman, head chef and co-owner of Le Torte Dolci Bakery
- Chef Clayton Horrighs, of Speakeasy Ramen
- Chef Doug McGregor, owner of Seasons Kitchen
- Chef Troy Wheat, of All Seasons Catering
All attendees can also vote via the Springfield Food Truck mobile app throughout the competition for their favorite food truck to receive the $1,000 “People’s Choice” award. All winners will be announced on stage at approximately 4:45 pm.
Live entertainment throughout the duration of the event starts at 11 a.m. with the marquee college football matchup of the weekend between Ohio State and Oregon shown on a jumbotron, and will continue through 9:30pm with three Ohio-based musical acts on stage including Factory Line at 3:30 pm, The Repeating Arms at 5:15 pm and Red Idle Rejects at 8:15 pm. View the complete entertainment schedule here.
“We encourage attendees to come early, bring their lawn chairs and blankets, and stick around all day for the entertainment and to enjoy all the gourmet treats the competition has to offer,” said Bell.
While admission to the event is free, attendees will be able to make donations to help support Springfield Rotary’s causes via PayPal during the event, and will be purchasing items from the full menus that food trucks have to offer. A beer garden open throughout the event will feature craft beer from Springfield’s Mother Stewart’s Brewery, Michelob Ultra, Budweiser and Bud Light, as well as White Claw. Water and a selection of soda will also be available.

10th Annual Bourbon Heritage Month Opening Toast
10 years ago, we focused our attention on becoming a true Bourbon Bar. One that Joe dreamed of long before everyone and their brother started chasing bottles and hoarding limited releases. Things have changed dramatically over the past 10 years, including our growing space and selection here in Dayton.
In September 1964, Congress declared Bourbon America’s ‘Native Spirit’. As a way to honor this bill in 2007 the US Senate declared September ‘National Bourbon Heritage Month’. Now we celebrate the whole month with special releases and tastings. Come down and join us in toasting to the month long celebration!
Get a first look at all the special bottles we have coming up and share a drink with our staff! Hope to see you there!
