Casey and Patrick, the husband and wife couple that own and operate Grist in downtown Dayton, just added another accolade to their resume. They were named to the Yelp “Top 100 Places to Eat in the Midwest” list last week. They were ranked 23rd and are the only Miami Valley restaurant to make the list.

To compile the rating, Yelp, which crowd-sources reviews about businesses, scoured eateries across a dozen Midwest states – Ohio, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Restaurants were ranking using factors such as total volume and ratings of reviews between Jan. 1, 2021, and May 1, 2023.

Grist, is a specialty pasta market and restaurant that serves lunch and dinner, sells pasta, bread and other treats to go, as well as offering cooking classes.

On August 20th they will offer a “Filled Pasta Class” which offers participants a hands on opportunity to make Agnolotti, Casoncelli, Tortellini, but alas it is already sold out. Check their website to see when future classes will be offered.
