Warped Wing Launches First Non-Alcoholic Beer

By

Warped Wing Brewing Co. today announced the launch of its first-ever non-alcoholic beer, Zero Altitude IPA, a taproom-exclusive release now available at all Warped Wing locations.

With the holiday season and Dry January fast approaching, Warped Wing is expanding its lineup to include a refreshing new way to enjoy the brewery experience – without the alcohol. The Zero Altitude series is crafted for guests who want to enjoy the social experience of a great beer while keeping their plans on course.

“Stick to the plan & hit cruise control with Zero Altitude IPA,” reads the can. “A full-flavor IPA with bright hop aroma & smooth drinkability. All the hop character you love – just lighter in lift. Zero altitude. Maximum flavor. No turbulence.”

Containing less than 0.5% alc/vol and pasteurized to ensure quality and safety, Zero Altitude IPA delivers the same vibrant hop character and smooth balance fans expect from Warped Wing – just without the buzz.

Nick Bowman, VP of Sales & Marketing and Managing Partner at Warped Wing, shared, “We’ve seen a huge influx of sober and sober-curious consumers over the past several years, and we think there’s a tremendous opportunity in this space. These guests still enjoy coming out to our taprooms for a great meal and want to have a quality beverage to go along with it. This new option gives them just that. In addition to our housemade sodas, floats, mocktails, and – in Dayton – our new lineup of Dirty Sodas, this non-alcoholic beer is another step toward making sure everyone has something special to enjoy when they visit Warped Wing”.

Zero Altitude IPA will be served exclusively and also available in 6-pack cans to go at all Warped Wing Taprooms for the time being, with a focus on serving guests within the brewery’s own four walls before expanding distribution.

Dayton Children’s CEO Anounces Retirement

By

Today Debbie Feldman, President and CEO of Dayton Children’s Hospital made this announcement:

“As I look back over the last 13 years at Dayton Children’s, I could not be prouder of all we have accomplished. Through challenging financial years, an unprecedented pandemic, a pediatric mental health crisis and workforce shortages – all within one of the most competitive children’s hospital markets in the country – we have emerged stronger on every measure and have exceeded every goal we set for ourselves.

Therefore, it is bittersweet to share that I will be retiring, effective June 30, 2026. It was an incredibly difficult decision. I will miss Dayton Children’s and the amazing people who support it. I want you to know how much your support means to me and the hospital. The degree to which this community has rallied around our mission and vision is truly astounding. Your contributions take every project from good to great and allow us to transform care at an accelerated pace.

I also want you to feel secure in the knowledge that the next president and CEO will be selected through a rigorous process to find the very best candidate who will continue the mission and vision that we have worked so hard to build. The Board of Trustees selected the Spencer Stuart executive search firm. It has an excellent reputation and has completed successful nationwide C-suite searches for more than 20 children’s hospitals. We anticipate having a new CEO chosen by late spring 2026.

In the meantime, know that we will not take our foot off the pedal. We will continue the amazing odyssey of the relentless pursuit of optimal health for every child within our reach. We will keep children of our region at the forefront of every decision and continually look for ways to reinvent the path to their health.

It is my honor to serve Dayton Children’s. Thank you for putting your trust and support in me and our team.”

41 Grill & Draft House Now in Troy

By

Kim Frazier  opened Speakeasy Ramen in Springfield in May of 2019 and it quickly gained the reputation as Springfield’s 5 star Dive Bar!  A serial entrepreneur with a background in food service, she acquired the 571 Grill and Draft House in New Carlisle in December of 2024 and in April of 2024 she purchased Speakeasy Miso in Troy.

In a very candid conversation with Frazier, she admitted that Speakeasy Miso hadn’t been profitable since it had opened in 2023. The space was huge and while they did have some raving fans, just not enough of the community embraced the  ramen and sushi concept and the rising cost of the Asian goods just weren’t adding up for profit and she knew it was time to pivot.

What she knew would work in Troy was a traditional eatery with a more approachable menu with great craft cocktails, like she was running at the 571 Grill in New Carlisle. So last week the new signs went up and 41 Grill & Draft House was born. Frazier admits it will be a slow transformation, as her kitchen team is adapting menu items from the New Carlisle eatery as well as creating some new dishes of their own. Of course they are bringing over the best selling burgers, but they will also put an emphasis on vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options for their guests. Their chefs are currently working on perfecting a black bean burger they all approve of.

They’ve already added  big sellers like their mac and cheese balls to the transitioning menu.

Guests will also be able to enjoy thier Smoked Wings- Brined overnight and then, dry rubbedwith 13 spices, and slow smoked  for 3+ hours; then flash fry them per order.

The plan is currently to grow the limited starting menu over the next few weeks, eventually adding a pizza oven and a few elevated dinner options like salmon and steaks,  do a little refreshing of the interior and host a grand opening after the holidays.

Subway Festive Feast Collection

By

We might all say that the Thanksgiving feast is our favorite part of the holiday—and don’t get us wrong, gathering around the table is special. But if we’re being honest, the real magic often happens the next day, when all the leftovers are piled high between two slices of bread in a perfectly messy, flavor-packed Thanksgiving sandwich. You just can’t beat that day-after bite.

Three deli sandwiches with fillings including turkey cheese vegetables and sauce placed on a branded paper wrapper with dipping sauce

Subway is introducing its Festive Feast Collection, featuring three all-new sandwiches that deliver pure post-holiday comfort in every bite.

First up is the Festive Turkey, stacked with Subway’s signature oven-roasted turkey. Next is the Festive Chicken, featuring juicy, rotisserie-style chicken cooked sous vide for extra tenderness. And the star of the show: the TurHamKen. Here you have Subway’s clever take on the Turducken, layering oven-roasted turkey, Black Forest ham, and rotisserie-style chicken together into one meat-lover’s sub.

Each sub comes topped with Monterey Cheddar cheese, spinach, red onions, and mayo. And, like the fast food chains that came before it, Subway is going all in on the taste of Thanksgiving, topping each sandwich with a brand-new stuffing and cranberry sauce.

If you’d rather stick with your usual sub order, but still want to add a slightly festive twist, you can. Both the stuffing and cranberry sauce are available to add to any sandwich for just $1 extra.

The Festive Feast Collection hits Subway locations nationwide on Nov. 13, giving you plenty of time to enjoy a taste of Thanksgiving before the big day—and hopefully long after, too.

Leiland and Melanie Woods originally opened Ella Mae’s Broaster Hut as a food truck in 2023. In February of 2025 they opened Consumer Square in Trotwood.  They’ve become well known for their broasted chicken, fish and pork chops with sides of fresh-cut potato wedges, green beans, fried cabbage, bourbon baked beans, and macaroni and cheese.  Broasted chicken uses the trademarked Broaster Pressure Fryer that combines deep frying with pressure cooking to create a crispy outside and a very juicy inside.
But a big change is coming. Ella Maes Broaster Hut will soon have a new name and a new location.
This weekend will be their last at their 5519 Salem Ave location.  They invite you all to attend their closing weekend “Fish Fry” today & Saturday, while supplies last! Come say goodbye and have some extra fish on them.
