November 11, 2023 By Lisa Grigsby

“Waffle Shop” returns as a dine-in or carry-out event again this year, offered Tuesday – Friday of November 14 – 17 from 11am – 2pm.
Waffle Shop is a 90+ year tradition at Christ Episcopal Church
in downtown Dayton. They  raise funds through the sale of  waffle lunches, and then grant 100% of the proceeds to small local non-profits benefiting our brothers & sisters living on the margins in our community.
This beneficiaries for this year include: Hannah’s Treasure Chest– a nonprofit organization that enriches the lives of children in need by providing care packages of clothes, shoes, books, safety equipment and hygiene items including diapers through a network of 75 partners throughout southwest Ohio,  Stork’s Nest-a national program that rewards pregnant women with points for attending prenatal care appointments and classes,  Gem City Diaper Bank, whose mission is to promote the health & well-being of babies by providing diapers to low-income families at no cost in the Montgomery County, The Westwood Right Project– a community development organization, CityHeart – serves clients’ immediate needs while also connecting them to resources for long term solutions, CARE House – the children’s advocacy center for children and families affected by abuse in Montgomery County, and the  Ohio, Miami Valley Chapter of the Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc. (OH 3), which supports our troops all over the world, our veterans, and each other.
Each year they enlist the help of  Celebrity Bakers. This year it’s  Mayor Mims, Lisa Wagner of Levitt Pavillion, Randy Phillips of DATV, and Alexis Larsen of Dayton Daily News.

Here’s a peek at the menu:

WEDNESDAY’S CHILD is a fast-paced thriller, murder mystery, and more. Susan and Martin Merrit are unable to have a child on their own, so they hire Becca Connor to serve as a surrogate. When Becca is found dead, a police investigation explodes the lives of everyone who knew her. As Detectives Valez and Dixon begin to put the pieces together, secrets surface, alibis weaken, and lies are uncovered. This dramatic play explores motherhood, passion, and that thin line between right and wrong.

It’s Back For A Limited Time.

November 10, 2023 By Dayton937

McDonald’s is officially bringing back the famous barbecue pork sandwich a little more than a year after discontinuing the menu item. But during the upcoming rerelease, customers may have a harder time getting their hands on a McRib than in previous launches.

Rumors that a McRib relaunch was on the horizon began swirling in late September when the food-focused social media account Snackolator posted about the return on Instagram.

“It turns out not everyone was ready to say goodbye to the McRib after last year’s Farewell Tour,” McDonald’s USA said in a statement at the time. The McRib comes on a toasted bun and consists of a boneless pork patty, barbeque sauce, dill pickles and onions.

While the McRib has been offered on a national basis in the past, McDonald’s said that it would only be available at select restaurants during the 2023 launch. However, the chain didn’t specify exactly where customers would be able to purchase the sandwich during the limited rerelease–until now.

The McRib will return to restaurants in Greater Indiana and Southwest Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky starting Nov 11th.

Last year was actually the fourth time that McDonald’s launched a Farewell Tour for the McRib to give it one last hurrah before retiring it from menus. So when the news emerged that it was coming in 2023 following its discontinuation, many customers were far from shocked

Noodle Kugel, Cheese Blintzes and Beer Added to Deli Menu

All The Best Deli is now serving daily specials, beer, and brownies for dessert!

Noodle Kugel

All The Best Deli, will add to their lineup of delectable sandwiches and deli classics. The restaurant is adding two new traditional special dishes to its menu – sweet noodle kugel and cheese blintzes.

The noodle kugel, a sweet and irresistible egg noodle casserole is from a traditional family recipe.  Kuel is a Jewish casserole that is traditionally served as a side dish and often served on Shabbat and Jewish holidays. $4.95.

The new cheese blintzes feature a rich, creamy, dairy-based filling wrapped in delicate crepes. They are available with either strawberry or blueberry sauce, or they are just as great plain. You can now also wash them all down with a rotating selection of local craft, imported, and domestic beer favorites.
Blintzes run from $4.95 – $6.25.

Another menu addition at All The Best Deli is now proudly offering chocolate brownies made by renowned Dorothy Lane Market. These brownies are the perfect indulgence to cap off your deli meal or to enjoy as a quick sweet treat.

Owner, Lee Schear, shares their enthusiasm for these enhancements, saying, “We are always seeking ways to incorporate our favorite traditional deli cuisines and elevate the guest experience at All The Best. We are excited to introduce beer and brownies to our menu as well as these two delightful new dishes.”

Fairborn’s newest restaurant, Uno Dos Tres Mexican Restaurant, just opened on Kaufman Avenue.  In the space that once housed Cadillac Jack’s and then Crossroads BBQ followed by Butts BBQ, and most recently Area A Field House. Owner Jose Guerrero, has a lot of restaurants in the Columbus area, but this is his first Dayton venture.

There are also six salads options, a couple of soups, street tacos, ten seafood dishes and a good option for vegetarians on the menu.

Their Molcajete -served on the Traditional Stone Bowl looks like a fun starter to share.

It offers Steak, Shrimp, Chorizo, grilled onion, poblano pepper and mushrooms topped with avocado & cheese.

They also claim to serve the best margarita’s in town.  We haven’t tried them yet, but judging from this menu there are certainly a lot of options.

Centerville Bakery Closes

November 6, 2023 By Dayton937

Rachel Owen

Bakery owner Rachel Owens announced via Facebook that she will be closing her bakery that specialized in wedding and special occasion cakes.  She opened the business in  2015. After 5 years in Beavercreek, she moved to Cross Pointe Center in Centerville in April of 2022.

Here’s what she posted:
“It is with a heavy heart, tear-filled eyes but minor relief that we announce that we have closed our double blue doors, one last time.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you to my community of supporters for the last 8 years! I have decided to take ahold of my mental health and put myself first. While it brought me immense joy to create for you and watch my employees be able to create and love what they do, I made the hardest decision of my life so far. Leaving this part of my life behind is very bittersweet. I have had my hands on cakes for 16 years!”
She continues with gratitude for her staff and a plea for
“My staff became family over the years and it breaks my heart to have to part with them. Every single one of them is honorable, kind, generous, and hard working. The talent that ran through rachelbakes was like none other!
We have partnered with another local bakery, the Cakery and highly recommended them to our cake family! A few of our decorators are going to be working for them here soon.
I have worked hard to do my best by my employees and my future prepaid customers. That being said, if you own or manage a local business and are hiring, I have a few employees still looking for that perfect fit! As for my customers, I used this weekend to reach out to those who had prepaid for orders. I had to leave messages for many. If you did not receive a call and feel as if you should have, please private message our business page!
Again, thank you for 8 years of allowing me to create edible art for you and your family. I will always hold this time close to my heart ♥️“
Customers shared their well wishes on her post:
Cassaundra Spaziani – “Thank you for all of the treats over the last few years. I used to only visit at Christmas but last week you helped me with an emergency order of cupcakes for my daughter. You will be missed. “
Shannon Hillard – “Those of us that own businesses understand this not as failure, but as the ultimate success to know what to prioritize. Best Wishes to you!”
Katie Easton – “So many good memories around your cakes! I know firsthand how hard it is to be a small business owner, especially in the current climate. It is all consuming and tests you in ways you could never prepare for. So proud of your bravery and openness in your mental health journey, and even more for your next steps into the unknown! Best of luck!”
Claire Linkhart – “Thank you for everything! You brought so much joy to my family through the beautiful art that is your cakes. You will be missed!”
Julia Soldi- “Your cakes were the best! Thank you for the memories. Now it’s time to take care of yourself.”
