Wendy’s New Thin Mints Frosty Is Here!

By

Wendy’s  new Frosty in partnership with Girl Scouts of the USA makes its debut today!  According to Wendy’s, its newest limited edition Frosty combines the “flavor of two iconic fan favorites — Girl Scout Thin Mints and our beloved Frosty dessert — for a delectable, minty treat.” And, as it noted, “everyone knows Thin Mints are extra delicious when frozen,” which, honestly, is impossible to argue with as it’s a verifiable fact. Best of all, fans can enjoy the new Thin Mints swirl in either a Wendy’s Classic Chocolate or Vanilla Frosty.

The development team behind the Thin Mints Frosty wanted to play up the concept of frozen Girl Scout Thin Mints, based on the widely circulated belief that these cookies taste even better straight out of the freezer. Simply adding crumbled frozen cookie pieces to the Frosty didn’t satisfy the developers (not to mention Dairy Queen did exactly that with the Blizzard years ago). Instead, Wendy’s came up with a chocolate swirl inspired by Girl Scout Thin Mints, which exists somewhere between cookie butter and ice cream fudge topping. Being able to try the Thin Mints Frosty in vanilla or chocolate adds another layer of intrigue to Wendy’s Thin Mints innovation.

By

From the first pancake brunch with 12 locations this event has grown  to  locations in over 7 counties. As in the past, churches, community organizations, and public foundations host, prepare, and serve the annual pancake brunch.  “Each year, 500 volunteers get together to serve over 7,000 meals,” Day of Caring 365 Trustee Steve Pax said in a news release. “Those who are homeless or hungry find a generous support from our community during Thanksgiving and Christmas, however The Day of Caring Pancake Brunch takes the last Sunday in February to remind the needy that we don’t forget about them. We show that we care 365 days a year.” In 2012 the Simply Essential Hygiene Pantry was created and it currently serve 19 partner agencies in Greene, Miami, and Montgomery Counties in Ohio.

Brunches run on average $7 for adults and $5 for seniors (over 60) and children (under 12). Most brunches include pancakes and sausages, coffee and juice,  but each location put their own spin on additional offerings.

2nd Street Market’s Chefs Featured on Top Vegan!

By

Filmed in Columbus, Ohio, this all-vegan competitive cooking reality series delivered culinary excitement and fierce competition. Eight vegan chefs and home cooks will compete and at the end of each episode, one contestant will be eliminated Top Chef-style. Competitions will see the contestants make vegan spins on classic dishes, paying homage to veganism’s roots.  Ultimately the winning chef is named Top Vegan.

In the shows first season Dayton Native Rhea Adkins of Vegan It IZ Eats, LLC,  showed off her culinary skills for multiple episodes. Rhea adapted a plant-based lifestyle after going on a spiritual fast in 2017 and a cancer scare with her mother. While eating plant-based foods she noticed an increase in energy and overall health. She then began to research and pilot her plant-based food products. Rhea’s desire is to see everyone live their best life full of energy.  She is also the author of the book “Plant-Based Jumpstart,” and the mother of two.

Larry & Lester of Invoke

In this second season for the show eight chefs competed in eight challenges for the  grand prize of $20,000 and title of “Top Vegan.” One of those contestants was Dayton’s own Lester Gates, who is the owner and chef at INVOKE with his brother Larry, opened at the  2nd Street Market six years ago. Since then, the restaurant has gained traction, serving modern takes on classic favorites, along with vegan options. Some of its staples include grain bowls, cashew-based “cheese cake,” and vegan crab cakes.

The show was filmed at culinary facility located on the campus at Columbus State Community College. Produced and hosted  by Chad Goodwin, owner of  4th and State, a vegan restaurant in Columbus.

Seaon 2 Contestants form left to right: Lester Gates, Sarah Martin, Candace Meredith, Jani Espinosa, Logan McMahan, Desireé Johnson, Elisa Vales, Matteo Silverman.

“We’re trying to make something that I think is severely lacking in the competitive cooking reality series as a whole,” said show director Logan Solana. “We want to show the world that going vegan is possible, and you don’t have to give up the things you love on an all-vegan diet.”

Chef Lester

Chef Lester said the 10 day experience “was amazing, exciting and a once in a lifetime opportunity. I enjoyed working with all the other contestants.”

Since the show, he’s been working on launching his Invoke Red Sauce which he featured in the business pitch of the final episode of the show, and getting it into stores.

Black Owned Food Businesses in the Miami Valley

By

The observance of Black History Month this year brings an opportunity for a much-needed focus on supporting Black-owned businesses. Black Americans make up about 12.4% of the country’s population, but Black business owners represented only 2.4% of all employer-firm owners according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Supporting Black-owned businesses goes beyond making a purchase. It is an investment in the economic empowerment of our community by contributing directly to job creation, wealth accumulation, and community development.  We’ve highlighted a few of our locally black owned eateries.  Please add your favorites in the comments below, so we can highlight them in a future post!

Soft Opening for The Dayton Barbeque Co at Carillon Brewing

By

Eric Evans

It’s a new era fro Carillon Brewing Co, powered by  The Dayton Barbecue Company.  Owner Eric Evans is know for southern style of barbeque- cooked low and slow. He established his business in 2021,  doing pop-ups at breweries around town and in March of 2024 they found  what he thought would be a permanent  home at Hidden Valley Orchards in in Lebanon.

They were a huge success there, selling out of their brisket, pork, spare ribs most weekend.  Their mac and cheese and collard greens became customer favorites. But in Dec of 2024 Evans announced he was looking for a new home, after HVO owners Randy and Robyn Lane shared some upcoming changes with him.
When Brady Kress, president and CEO of Dayton History, heard they were looking for a new home, he approached Evans about taking over the food service at Carillon Brewing and it seemed like a good match. Evans approached his buddy Chef Ashley Ashbrook, who may be familiar to many from his Oregon District hot dog cart, Blind Dogs, to come on as Executive Chef and run the kitchen.

Guests can expect a menu that celebrates barbeque and Evans shared his excitement about his new Marketplace Salad loaded with veggies and smoked chicken,and crispy pork belly and house made dressings.  In additions to his mac & cheese, they’ll have crispy brussell sprouts with abalsamic glaze, house made pickles and onion straws and  Carillon Pretzel twists with home made beer cheese. Down the road look for locally made sausage to be added to the menu. For dessert, you’ll be able to enjoy a smoked apple bread pudding with a butterscotch topping.
