El Toro’s Taco Tuesday Taking Dayton by Storm

By Leave a Comment

We splashed some free salsa on these Tacos !

It was 8:20pm on Tuesday night at the El Toro Restaurant across from the Greene with the Food Adventure Crew.  People were lined up in the lobby and jammed in the bar area waiting for a seat.  The hostess said it would be a 20-30 minutes wait.  This is the scene all day at Taco Tuesday, every Tuesday at El Toro Restaurants across the Dayton area.  The feature is $1 Crunchy and Soft Tacos all day.  And it has taken the Dayton area by storm.

 

HERE IS THE SKINNY ON EL TORO’S TACO TUESDAY:

— TACOS are 1 DOLLAR EACH

— Choose CRISPY OR SOFT TACOS

— Choose one of 3 meats: GROUND BEEF, SHREDDED CHICKEN, OR PORK

— Each Taco comes with shredded CHEESE and shredded LETTUCE.  One of our “fat kid tricks,” is pour the free tableside  salsa on your taco too, and of course a drop of the hot sauce in a bottle that sits at each table.

— Taco Tuesday Special is good all day from 11:00am – 10:30pm

Soft Tacos are $1 on Taco Tuesday at El Toro

 

The tacos are delicious and you can fill up for about 4 or 5 bucks and walk out stuffed.  The special price is about a third of what tacos are normally.  Throw in the free chips and salsa and you have a helluva deal and a cheap Food Adventure.    No wonder  El Toro has seen packed houses on Tuesdays.

Dayton at Work and Play: Partial To Pie

By

I met the father / daughter team of Mike and Marie some time ago as they worked to get their building at 200 Shroyer Road ready for Partial to Pie Bakery. They’ve been open for a while and I’ve been meaning to stop in. Then a friend told me she had become a regular customer so I finally visited

As the name suggests, they have all kinds of pies, plus other sweets like brownies and baklava. You can take it with you or sit at one of their tables and have your sweet snack with coffee or tea.

On my first visit, I opted for the savory instead of the sweet. I bought their classic meat and potatoes quiche, which will make a few meals for us. It was great

Spicy Food Makes for A Hell Night Dinner

By

What do you get when you pair a powerhouse event host, a celebrity chef, and a state of the art culinary venue over Halloween weekend?  HELL NIGHT.  The setting of Fairborn, Ohio was chosen for its history of celebrating Halloween in a big way. Spark Fairborn is a newly built, lavish co-working space and kitchen incubator nestled in the heart of Main Street.

 

This is more than a food event.  This will be a food experience.  If you like spicy food, celebrity Chef Anthony Head, also known as “The People’s Chef” is about to make your nightmares come true.   Based off of Dante’s Inferno, the menu will consist of nine “Levels of Hell”, tapas which will leave you in tears from pleasure and pain. The event will also feature dance music, lights, ghoulish entertainment, and contests throughout the evening.

“We didn’t want to just have a food event”, said Charlynda Scales, co-owner of OH Taste Marketing, which helps grow local food businesses as well as hosts themed food experiences like Hell Night. “Matt Dunn (co-owner) and I want to host events people won’t stop talking about for months on end. It’s about pairing the best chefs in the area with local food products and experts in marketing.”

 

Hell Night will also be a chance to crown a winner of the Hot as Hell Spicy Food eating contest. Anyone can join (age 21+), but only the first ten entries online will be accepted. Safety waivers will need to be signed the day of the contest. An award (to be determined) will also be given for Best Costume if patrons choose to participate.

Tickets are $45 per person or $65 for VIP tickets that include one free drink ticket and a swag bag as your momento of the hellish night of gluttony.

Tickets or entry into the Spicy food eating contest can be reserved online.

Submarine House Poll: Cheese Whiz or Cheese? + Win a Super Duper Cheesesteak !

By

WHIZ or WHIZ-OUT ?

“To Whiz or not to Whiz, that is the question….”

Dayton has it’s share of good places to grab a Philly Cheesesteak.   The Submarine House is at the top of this list and are one of the few spots that offer their cheesesteaks with a choice of Nacho Cheese Whiz sauce or Sliced Cheese.

Foodies have battled back and forth on which is the best way to eat a Philly cheesesteak.  So we look to you, our fellow, hungry Daytonians to solve this with a foodie poll.

Today we ask an age-old question that Cheesesteak lovers have been gnashing teach over for decades…. on your Philly Cheesesteak, do you prefer..

CHEESE WHIZ or CHEESE ?

Comment below, and one winner will be selected at random and win a Super Duper Cheesesteak from Submarine House, compliments of The Food Adventure Crew !  You can get your cheesesteak how you like it .. with the WHIZ or CHEESE !

Before you answer — what is a Philly Cheesesteak ?

Philly with Provolone Cheese option at Sumbmarine House

WHAT IS A PHILLY CHEESESTEAK ?
It is a sub, served on long, crusty french or italian style roll filled with thinly sliced and possibly sauteed beef and melted cheese. In Philadelphia, the cheese preference is Cheez Whiz. In other parts of the country it seems that shredded or sliced American, sharp or provolone are the preference. Many foodies say that the essence of cheesesteak preparation lies in the balance of flavors, ingredients , texture and the messy goodness, or “drip” factor.  Other toppings may include grilled onions, green peppers, mayo, sautéed mushrooms, and hot or sweet banana peppers. Even ketchup and French fries have topped a sub, as well as lettuce and tomato. The ultimate street food, a Philly Cheeesteak is a portable, hunger killing beast.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK BABYLON:
In 1930 the sandwich world was turned upside down when Philadelphia hot dog vendor Pat Olivieri decided to grill beef one day.  A taxicab driver noticed the incredible aroma and ordered a steak sandwich. The rumor of the delicious lunch spread across town in a week. People from all around the city came to try the steak sandwiches.  He decided to expand and Olivieri opened up a shop on 9th Street and Passyunk Avenue, and called it “Pat’s King of Steaks”. The sandwich morphed as he began adding cheese to the recipe. Today the grill is open 24/7 and has a legendary rival cheesesteak shop across the street called “Geno’s” who claims they are the ones who added the cheese idea. Geno’s is also open 24/7. For decades, the two family owned businesses have been the center of discussion of who has the best cheesesteak in town. Who cut the cheese first? We don’t know…

How do you like your Philly ?

Fast forward to 1973 and history of Dayton Cheeseteaks takes shape.

THE HISTORY OF DAYTON’S SUBMARINE HOUSE:

THE SUBMARINE HOUSE OPENS IN DAYTON, 1973
–1973: 
The very first Submarine House was opened on Brown Street near the University of Dayton by Doug Kidd.   It was the first in the area to introduce the east coast style Cheese steak Sub.   Many UD students and Dayton natives had their first Philly Cheesesteak here.   One customer from Dayton, Gary Danner would eat there often.   He loved the subs so much, that in 1978 he became the first franchisee.  His store is still located today at 7850 N. Main Street.

–1984:
Gary bought the entire franchise from Doug.   By this time they were cranking out hundreds of subs.  The Submarine House continued to grow and expand around the suburbs.   Gary’s sons, Jason, Brody, and Seth worked for Submarine House as kids, and after college 2 of them went to work full-time for the company.

–1997:
Jason Danner opened his first Submarine House

—1999:
Brody Danner opened his first Submarine House.

—2006, The first sports bar concept, Submarine House Bar and Grill opens in Vandalia.   Jason and Brody have since opened numerous Bar and Grill Submarine House franchises. But you can still find their dad Gary, and wife Susan, at the Submarine House on North Main Street.

Submarine House in Centerville

—2018, The Super Duper Cheesesteak Challeenges have raised nearly 100k for charities over the past few years

Now  its time for you to make your choice and comment below…

Have You Heard About The Ohio Buckeye Candy Trail?

By

Ohio Buckeye Candy Trail

This trail provides the ultimate opportunity to devour Ohio’s most beloved candy tradition – the buckeye! Named after the nut from the buckeye tree, this delectable treat is simple and sweet with just two components – peanut butter and chocolate!
 The Ohio Buckeye Candy Trail actually features 31 sweet shops statewide “throughout Ohio’s major cities and charming towns.” If you follow the numbers on the map, the route starts with a single Cincinnati destination before working its way north through Dayton all the way up past Bowling Green. From there, about a half-dozen stops are tightly packed in the Columbus area before splitting off toward Cambridge up through Walnut Creek. Then it’s over to Ashland, back toward Canton, and over toward Youngstown before wrapping things up with a few final stops along Lake Erie, including, of course, Cleveland.

The Turkish American Society Dayton Community center, located at 2601 E. 4th Street will be opening their doors and welcoming in guests to join them for a the Turkish Food Festival this Sunday, Sept 2nd from 11am – 4pm.

I attended their last event in May and was wowed by the welcoming atmosphere, variety of homemade foods and very reasonable prices. I appreciated the signs that gave the ingredients for the dishes, making it easy to explore so many new tastes.

 

Upon arrival you purchase tickets and use those tickets to pay for your food at each table that line the walls of the center. Most items were just $1 -4. There was plenty of seating set up in the middle of the room and even a turkish coffee area set up, showing off some very elaborate brass and copper pots.
