Feb 10th Rings in the Year of the Dragon

February 9, 2024 By Lisa Grigsby

The Lunar New Year celebration is centered around removing bad luck and welcoming all that is good and prosperous. Red is considered an auspicious color to ring in the new year. In many Asian cultures, the color symbolizes good fortune and joy. People dress up in red attire, decorate their homes with red paper lanterns. Gambling and playing traditional games is common during this time across cultures.

The Year of the Dragon is anticipated to bring auspicious opportunities and exciting advancements for all. Those born under the dragon sign are reputed for their innovative thinking and inquisitive nature, and often flourish in their professional pursuits.

This year, Lunar New Year falls on Saturday, Feb. 10. Each year honors an animal based on the Chinese zodiac. The circle of 12 animals — the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig — measure the cycles of time. Legend has it that a god beckoned all animals to bid him farewell before his departure from earth and only 12 of them showed up.

 The holiday is a time for togetherness, when family members travel from near and far to exchange well wishes for the coming year. Traditional Lunar New Year foods include:

Chinese people believe that what you do at the beginning of a new year will affect your luck in the coming year. Staying up on Chinese New Year’s eve (February 9th, 2024) and saying good words to your family/friends like Happy New Year after the clock strikes 12 will certainly bring good luck.

In western culture, we say “Happy New Year” and make resolutions. But in eastern cultures, the new year is welcomed with wishes of luck, health and good fortune. In Mandarin, typically you would say “Gong Xi Fa Chai,” which means “Wishing you prosperity and wealth.”

Other greetings include sayings like:

  • May wealth come pouring in
  • May you have abundance every year
  • Good luck and fortune
  • May everything go as you wish

It’s a tradition to give your friends and family bright red envelopes filled with money. But it’s not about the money — it’s all about the envelopes. They symbolize good wishes and luck for the year ahead. With today’s technology, many people have exchanged digital red envelopes instead of the traditional paper ones.

The tradition comes from an old story about a demon, Sui, who would terrorize children on New Year’s Eve. Parents would try to keep their children awake by giving them eight coins to play with. Inevitably, many of the children would fall asleep, and the coins (eight immortals in disguise) would light up and drive the demon away. The envelope is now symbolic of the coins.

The amount of money never includes the number 4 because the Chinese pronunciation of “four” sounds like the word for death.

Besides, decorating your house with kumquat trees (symbolizing wealth & good luck), wearing your lucky color (yellow, red), and eating lucky food like rice dumplings (family togetherness), fried flour-coated peanuts (vitality), walnut cookies (happiness), etc. are popular ways to get lucky. Each year, the date of Lunar New Year changes. But no matter the date, each culture that celebrates has its own historically rich customs, traditions and beliefs.

For a true Chinese New Year Feast may we suggest Hua Mei, the restaurant by the Fuyao Glass factory. They have three different special banquet menus for parties of 10. They also have specials listed. Unfortunately the special menus are only in simplified Chinese.  Check this post on Dayton Foodies for more info.

Culture Works Call For Grant Panelists

February 9, 2024 By Dayton937

Culture Works, the Dayton Region’s united arts fund and local art agency, seeks community members with knowledge of and passion for the arts to serve on the grant panels and selection committees that will award 2024-2025 funding to local artists and organizations through the following programs:

  • Artist Opportunity Grant: Project support for individual artists in Montgomery County (funded by the Montgomery County Arts and Cultural District)
  • Community Arts Grant: Operating support for Dayton Region arts and cultural organizations
  • Leonard P. Roberts Scholarship: Scholarships for Dayton Region college students and graduating high school seniors
  • Special Projects Grant: Project support for Montgomery County nonprofits, schools, colleges/universities, municipalities, and government agencies (funded by the Montgomery County Arts and Cultural District)

Most panels are composed of 5-8 panelists. Panelists review and score applications independently over the course of several weeks before coming together as a group to discuss their findings and determine their funding recommendations at a virtual public meeting. Check out the Grant Panelist Fact Sheet to learn more about each funding program and panelists’ responsibilities.

To nominate yourself or someone you know for panel service, please complete a panelist nomination form here.

Panelists are selected based on their knowledge of and involvement in the arts, business and nonprofit management, and the community. Nominations are considered on an ongoing basis as panel positions open. Because of the limited number of panel positions, not all nominees can be selected to serve in a given year, but Culture Works retains all nominations for consideration in future funding cycles.

Being a grant panelist provides a unique opportunity to learn more about the region’s arts community and to become engaged in making important decisions regarding financial support of the arts in the Dayton Region. Prior panelists report that they enjoyed having the opportunity to network with fellow panelists, all of whom share an interest in the arts.

A New Seafood Concept From The Owners of El Toro

February 7, 2024 By Lisa Grigsby

When El Toro moved across the street to The Greene, they took advantage of their old location to launch a new concept.  They invite guests to dive into Vallarta, your local paradise!

With a seaside decor, neon palm trees and a ceiling of waves, you might actually believe you are in a tropical location.  On a recent lunch visit I was served up a cevche (cooked fish, lime, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro)  served with tostadas and crackers, instead of the usual chips and salsa you’d expect from a Mexican Restaurant.

The menu, inspired by dishes from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, is large and broken into appetizers, shareables, soups, seafood specials with some traidtional Mexican classics as well.

I tried the lunch portion of the Pasta Vallarta,  which contained a healthy portion of shrimp and scallops, served with a piece of garlic toast. The creamy Nayarit-style sauce it was tossed in made it pretty tasty dish.

Can’t wait to go back and try some of their other dishes and some cocktails from the bar.

Favorite Super Bowl Foods

February 7, 2024 By Dayton937

A new study has revealed America’s favorite Super Bowl foods, with some gameday classics appearing further down the list than you might expect. JeffBet analyzed 75 popular Super Bowl party foods, using more than 4,000 search combinations, such as ‘how to make ___’ and ‘___ recipe’ in order to find which gameday snacks are being searched for the most.

A spokesperson for JeffBet commented on the findings, saying:

“From classic finger foods to hearty snacks, it’s evident that people across the country have a wide array of culinary choices when it comes to enjoying the big game.”

“The findings highlight the dynamic and inclusive nature of Super Bowl food culture, showcasing the various tastes and traditions that contribute to the overall game day

In Ohio, pizza takes the lead as the most searched Super Bowl food, with an impressive monthly search volume of 169,249.

Chili secures the second position with a monthly search volume of 84,011, and Buffalo Chicken Dip claims the third spot with 44,198 monthly searches.

Nationally, in first place – perhaps unsurprisingly – is the humble pizza. It was found to be the most searched for Super Bowl food in all but seven states (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and West Virginia), and is searched nationally on average 6.2 million times per month.

In second place is chili, with 3.04 million monthly searches on average. Almost universally, it was found to be the nation’s second favorite Super Bowl food. Chili was the most searched-for Super Bowl food in three states, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Tennessee, and was the second most searched food in the remaining 47 states.

Third place goes to deviled eggs, with 571,168 searches per month on average. Deviled eggs came third in 21 states, with the highest number of searches coming out from California, averaging 52,659 monthly searches.

In fourth place is Buffalo chicken dip, with an average of 511,931 monthly searches.

Fifth place goes to guacamole. The avocado-based dip racks up 393,535 searches a month on average nationwide. The people of New York and Hawaii were the top searchers for guacamole, with the dip ranking as their third favorite Super Bowl food.

Chicken wings rank surprisingly low in seventh place, with 351,064 monthly searches nationwide. Chicken wings were the most popular in Nevada where they ranked as the state’s fourth most searched for food.

Eighth place goes to Sloppy Joes. The sandwich consisting of saucy ground beef and onions was searched on average 322,650 times per month across the nation. Sloppy Joes were the found to be the most popular in Colorado, Minnesota and North Dakota, where the sandwich ranked fourth.

In ninth place is bruschetta. This Italian antipasto sees 300,969 monthly searches nationwide on average.

Rounding out the list in tenth place are quesadillas. This classic Mexican dish is searched 296,268times per month on average nationwide.

Super Bowl LVIII  kicks off at 6:30pm at Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas.

Fat Tuesday Buffet at Amber Rose

February 5, 2024 By Dayton937

Cajun food is not what you normally associate with a restaurant that specialaizes in German, Lithuanian, Polish, Hungarian, Russian and Italian dishes, but the key factor behind Amber Rose’s cajun and creole inspired Fat Tuesday menu is Chef T.J. Peterson.  He grew up in New Orleans.

“My grandmother was a master baker and she always tried to get me in the kitchen with her, but I just wanted to lick the bowl,” Peterson said. “I lived in a shot gun house with my mom and my grandparents lived next door. We cooked Cajun, Creole, Italian and so much more and food brought us all together.”

Peterson has been a chef at Amber Rose for 16 years and he looks forward to this one day a year he can serve up his family recipes. “I love giving folks a chance to get a taste of New Orleans,” said Chef T.J. “Even if they can’t travel there, they can go there through the food.”

The buffet will include Gumbo, Seafood Crepes, Red Beans & Rice, Shrimp & Sausage Jambalaya, Dirty Rice, Cajun Seafood Pasta, Shrimp & Cheesy Grits,Big Easy Chicken and Steak Orlean’s.

And you’ll want to save room for desserts, which will include Bananas Foster Bread Pudding and Black Bottom Bourbon Pecan Pie.

Tickets are $40 and must be prepaid, which you can do online. The buffet will be served from 5-7pm in the upstairs banquet room on Tues, Feb 13th.  Due to the historic nature of the building, there is no elevator access.

Dayton’s Best Bloody Mary Has Been Decided

February 4, 2024 By Lisa Grigsby

Today at Top of the Market over 300 people came together to taste and judge the Bloody Mary’s put up by local bars and restaurants! This event was first started by Planned2Give at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds in 2017.  For the 8th edition of this event the cocktails were quite varied. Some  were spicy, some were bold, some were even good for you, as they were chocked full of juiced vegetables.

We welcomed back Mack’s Tavern, which was the winner of our very first showdown. Her cocktail placed 3rd.  Also back was Scott Conrad, who tied for the win the 2nd year with Mack’s.

Scott   then when on to win the 3rd year.  He has since launched and markets Rad’s Bloody Mary Mix at the retail level so was there for tastings, not competition.

Meridien Uptown, one of Centerville’s newest businesses won the Best Garnish award and placed 2nd in the Best Bloody Competition.

And for the 2nd year in a row L oose Ends Brewing Companywalked away with best booth decor and Dayton’s Best Bloody Mary, which came with a $500 cash prize and bragging rights for another year!

The crew from Loose Ends dedicated their win to Kent Loose, the owner of Loose Ends Brewery who passed away this past October.  They said he really loved Bloody Mary’s and pushed for them to enter last year.
