Dayton at Work and Play: Chef Cece

By

Conversation with Chef Cece of The Burger Bistro, one of the four restaurants at The Silos (801 East First). I asked Chef Cece about her food background.

“It seems like I’ve always been cooking” she told me. “My mother tells people that at age 7 I’d come home from school, open the refrigerator door, and then cook something creative out of whatever ingredients I found. But I didn’t think about cooking as a career. I worked for a large company in customer service. Sometimes at work we’d bring in food to share and people raved about my food. They said I should be selling it.”
“With that encouragement, I decided to start doing some catering on the side. Soon I was making more from catering than on my regular job. So 4 years ago I quit and started cooking full time. I call my business Cece’s Kitchen
The last 4 years have been crazy busy. In addition to our catering we now have a food truck that’s been very popular. I keep getting calls from people wondering when we’ll start it up again for the season. They especially miss our Taco Tuesday. And now we have a brick and mortar location – The Burger Bistro at the Silos. Business has been really good here at the Silos. I’m so glad my husband Antonio decided to jump on board. I really needed the help.”
What’s your most popular dish here at the Silos?
“Our Hot Honey Fried Chicken Deviled Eggs are our biggest seller. Our top burger is called Triple B. It’s a double smash burger with bacon, cheddar and provolone cheese, jalapeno, fried onions and maple bacon sauce.”
The last time I ate at the Burger Bistro I tried your glazed salmon sliders. They were so good I’ll have trouble ordering anything else.
“Those are a favorite for a lot of people, but before you get stuck in a rut you’ve got to try those eggs I told you about. And in May we’ll have some new menu items that might also tempt you.”

The Debut of Taco Bell’s Toasted Cheddar Chalupas

By

Inspired by the vibrant culture of street tacos, Taco Bell’s Toasted Cheddar Street Chalupas revive the fan-favorite street chalupas with a bold new edge: a crispy new exterior and craveable sauce. Street food is all about bold flavors, bright ingredients and a touch of creativity and this next evolution in Taco Bell’s ode to street food culture infuses the best of traditional street tacos – simple ingredients like onions and cilantro – into a crispy toasted cheddar shell and a new Chile Lime Crema Sauce. This new menu item provides a new flavor experience that’s craveable from the outside in.

Building on a legacy of bold chalupa innovations, Taco Bell is merging two fan-favorite menu creations from the past – the Toasted Cheddar Chalupa from 2019 and last year’s Cheesy Street Chalupas – to deliver the ultimate mashup of crispy, cheesy and street-inspired indulgence. The new menu item is now available nationwide for $5.49 a la carte starting March 27, for a limited time while supplies last.

“The street taco is a cultural staple built on bold flavor and quality ingredients, and the Toasted Cheddar Street Chalupas honors that tradition while bringing in a unique Taco Bell touch that packs even more flavor into every bite,” said Luis Restrepo, Taco Bell’s Vice President, Product Innovation. “Fans immediately fell in love with the crispy, cheesy bite of the Toasted Cheddar Chalupa in 2019, and now we’re elevating that street-inspired flavor experience and that’s exactly the kind of comeback our fans have been waiting for.”

Unique Tasting Experience with Flavors That Hit from the Outside In
The Toasted Cheddar Street Chalupas deliver a striking first impression with layers of flavor inside and out. Here’s the breakdown:

  • Toasted Cheesy Shell: A chalupa shell with a layer of mild cheddar, baked directly into the dough, and toasted to perfection for a crispy, cheesy, and savory bite.
  • Premium ingredients: Packed with fresh onions and cilantro – an ode to the street taco – and a choice of slow-roasted Cantina chicken or grilled, marinated steak.
  • Saucy surprise: Chile Lime Crema Sauce – a bold and zesty fusion of lime, fiery chile peppers, garlic, parmesan, and Romano cheeses, bringing all the flavors together in harmony.

Toasted Cheddar Street Chalupas are available for a limited time at participating Taco Bell locations nationwide, starting at $5.49 for two chalupas (same protein per order).

3 New Piada Pockets

By

Piada Italian Street Food recently announced the launch of its new Piada Pockets in three crave-worthy flavors: Spinach & Artichoke, Meatball Marinara, and Spicy Sausage. Baked to perfection in Piada’s signature dough and packed with bold Italian flavors, Piada Pockets will be available at all locations.

“Our Piada Pockets capture everything guests love about Italian food—rich flavors, high-quality ingredients, and a warm, satisfying bite—all in a portable format,” said Matt Harding, Chief Concept Officer at Piada Italian Street Food. “Whether you’re craving the classic comfort of meatballs and marinara, the indulgence of creamy spinach and artichoke, or the bold heat of spicy sausage and peppers, there’s a Piada Pocket for every taste.”

Piada Pockets aren’t just delicious—they’re also a way to give back. From March 24th – March 30th, Piada will donate $1 from every Piada Pocket sold to Pelotonia, supporting life-saving cancer research, with a commitment of up to $10,000. Additionally, anyone who orders a Piada Pocket online during this week will be entered to win one of five exciting prizes, including a $500 Piada gift card + an exclusive influencer pack or one of four $100 gift cards.

“Our goal was to take our signature Piada dough and create something truly irresistible,” said Dawn McClung, Research and Development Chef at Piada Italian Street Food. “After three years in the making, these pockets are a perfect balance of crisp, golden-baked dough and indulgent, high-quality fillings. They’re easy to eat on the go, but still bring that comforting, made-from-scratch Italian experience.”

Piada Pockets will be available at all Piada Italian Street Food locations nationwide. For more information and to order, visit mypiada.com or download the Piada One app.

Table 33 Presents 4 Course Wine Dinner

By

Chef Keith Taylor

Table 33 is hosting an exclusive wine dinner with a special menu created by Executive Chef, Keith Taylor, and Sous Chef, Justin Gall, paired with Titus Wines on Wed, May 7th.  There will be two seatings, 5:30pm or 7:30pm. Joining them for the wine pairing will be Dinner with Napa Valley Winemaker & Owner of Titus Wines, Eric Titus.

From a young age, Eric Titus worked in the family vineyard in Napa Valley with his brothers and father, continuing the tradition until he left for college to earn his doctorate degree in Biology, where he was drawn to the dynamics of marine science and toxicology. Following this path, he worked around the world as a researcher and environmental consultant throughout the 1990’s. In 1997, he returned to St. Helena to help with the harvest at Titus Vineyards. The family business was growing, and, in 2002, Eric decided to devote himself to the winery full time to help with management of the burgeoning business. Today he is General Manager and Vineyard Operations Manager of the winery.
In the vineyard, Eric has adopted green practices that support sustainable farming. His aim is to farm with techniques that ensure minimum impact on the local environment, seeking to have as light a footprint as possible in the vineyard. Nearly all vineyard work is done by hand, row by row. He collaborates with Winemaker Stephen Cruzan to ensure that vineyard practices deliver expressive and focused fruit from their two estate vineyards. An estate-based winery allows for harvesting each row at the right moment for each wine.
Eric has served as President of the Napa Valley Grape Growers Association and is active with both the St. Helena Viticultural Society and Appellation St. Helena. He is committed to preserving agricultural land and the local ecosystem in Napa Valley. Eric works along with the local viticultural community to promote the Napa Valley as a world-class wine-growing region.
Tickets for this event run $195 and can be reserved online.
