Panda Express Launches Blazing Bourbon Chicken

By

Panda’s new chicken dish featured crispy boneless chicken bites and wok-tossed veggies in a sweet bourbon sauce mixed with the signature Hot Ones Last Dab Apollo hot sauce.

Panda Express has partnered with Hot Ones on a new dish that launched nationwide for a limited time on Sept. 4. 2024. (Panda Express)

“Blazing Bourbon Chicken is Panda’s spiciest dish on their menu and made with a crispy chicken coating to create an addictive, comforting flavor in every bite,” Panda Express says.

Last year, during the limited run in select markets, Panda Express said consumers had been clamoring for more “complex, innovative and adventurous flavors,” which led to the partnership with Hot Ones.

The menu item is available in participating stores across the country now for a limited time.

Quest for the Best Baby Back Ribs in the Miami Valley

By

Today is Baby Back Ribs day and I love a good bbq’d rib.

Baby back ribs are taken from the upper part of the ribcage, near the spine, and are smaller, leaner, and more tender than the St Louis cut. They cook faster and are often considered more delicate. Both styles offer unique tastes and textures suited to different BBQ styles. Not to be confused with St. Louis cut ribs. The St. Louis cut come from the lower portion of the pig’s ribcage, specifically the spare ribs, which are trimmed to remove the breastbone and cartilage, resulting in a flatter, meatier cut. They tend to have more fat and connective tissue, making them rich and flavorful as well, but require a longer cook time.

ribs from Buckhorn Tavern

I tend toward the St. Louis cut which is most common in Memphis, St. Louis and Kansas City bbq, on occasion I get a hankering for a shorter meatier rib and that is the Baby back.
Locally I find the great baby back ribs here:

Bullwinkle’s Top Hat Bistro in Downtown Miamisburg. These are always fall of the bone tender and accompanied by great sides. With a full slab and sides for under $30 its hard to beat and you’ve got leftovers for lunch the next day.
KD’s BBQ in Kettering call their ribs Back Loin Ribs, just another way of saying Baby Backs. While normally I’d have a cabbage roll, I will change course for these ribs. Like Bullwinkles the sides shine bright and compliment the saucy smoked ribs perfectly.
Buckhorn Tavern is not a place I hardly ever get to, but friends tell me this is the spot to add to my list. Known for steaks and chops, their slabs of Baby Backs are a best seller. Great beer list, cozy room, and fall of the bone ribs make for a great evening.

Archers Tavern spent the weekend in Buffalo, New York competing for the third time at the 23rd annual National Buffalo Wing Festival, that has been taking place for over 20 years. Since its founding in 2002, Wingfest has evolved into one of the country’s top food festivals, drawing more than 1 million attendees from all 50 states, 41 different counties and every continent (even Antarctica). The festival helped establish Buffalo as the World Capital of Wings and gave the city a reason to celebrate its signature food like it never had before.
In their first year competing Archers placed in all 3 divisions they entered and finished 3rd overall. Here were their award winning sauces:

2nd place in Best Traditional Medium Wing Sexy Style – A combination of Archer’s style, Dry Rub and another special spice combination developed over the years by team members.

3rd place in Best Creative Spicy Wing  Polly-Q – A spicy Polynesian-inspired BBQ sauce.

3rd place in Best Creative Spicy Wing Wing and a Prayer – The tavern’s hottest sauce featuring fresh habanero peppers.

The 2023 team

This year 19 restaurants were invited to compete and locally owned Archer’s Tavern got the invite for the 3rd year.  Each restaurant can submit sauces in 3 categories.  For 2024 Archers walked away with two trophies.

Five Guys Introduces Patty Melt

By

Five Guys is excited to announce a new official menu item inspired by a popular menu hack. The Patty Melt, which combines a grilled cheese, juicy patty and the toppings of your choice, will officially join the menu at select Five Guys locations starting September 1, 2024.

Known for its customizable burgers and fresh-cut fries, Five Guys allows customers to enjoy unlimited flavor combinations. The Patty Melt evolved from customer requests and offers a delicious new way to enjoy the classic Five Guys taste.

“We’re thrilled to bring the Patty Melt to our menu at test locations,” said Jerry Murrell, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder. “Our customers are integral to the Five Guys story. We hope that the addition of the Patty Melt to the menu makes them feel like part of the Five Guys family, too.”

The Patty Melt will be officially available on the menu at 194 Five Guys locations. However, customers can still order a Patty Melt at any location nationwide. It has always been an option through customizations, but now ordering is easier for customers.  Before this test, it was known as a grilled cheese and add a patty, but now all stores know the name.

Where To Get A Cuban Sandwich in the Miami Valley

By

National Cuban Sandwich Day is a tribute to flavor found in a toasted pressed sandwich. It’s no secret that the birthplace of the Cuban sandwich — as the name suggests — is from the largest island nation of the Caribbean. The sandwich is mostly characterized by its delectable blend of ham, cheese, pork, and mustard and is also know as a Cubano.

Where to find one in the Miami Valley, according to our experts on Dayton Foodies:

Chino Cubans
You must add yourself to the online  waiting list and when your time comes around you’ll get a message telling you how to about how to get your order.

El Meson

 903 E Dixie Dr, Dayton, OH 45449
Bryan Suddith writes,”It should come as no surprise that El Meson, specializing in Spanish, Caribbean and South American fare should have the area’s best Cuban sandwich. The Pork is seasoned perfectly with spices I can only describe as uniquely Cuban. Oregano, cumin, parsley, black pepper, all together smells of a Cuban country kitchen. They layer the pork alongside pickle, mustard, and swiss. Finished in a press, the roll comes back with a crunchy exterior ready to handle the juicy pork. Order it with a side of black beans. Sit on the patio, enjoy the sunshine, imagine you are in a Havana cafe all for under $10.00.

La Michoacana Mexican Market #5

748 Troy St Dayton, OH 45404

Brittany Danielle Smith says, “ The portions are huge. The Cuban sandwich was bigger than my head.”

Charlie’s Deli 

429 Troy St, Dayton, OH 45404

Jim Chrissis says Charlie’s Deli makes one that is decent. Get him to customize it as you like it (I asked for a little salami and some mayo on mine, to approximate the Tampa style) and they will accommodate. He will press it as well.

We’ve also heard that Harens Market in Troy, The Cheesecake Factory, Dayton Street Eats and sometimes Chappas in  Moraine also have good Cubans.  If you’ve found one we don’t know about, please leave us a comment below.

Centerville’s Thai Village Hosts Soft Opening

By

Those of us who are big fans of Thai Table on Far Hills in Centerville should be happy that the former owner there, Sue Whitted, has decided to continue to grow her presence in the Thai food scene! She also owns Thai Kitchen at 2335 Miamisburg-Centerville Road in Miami Twp and  Hello Thai at 3301 Dayton Xenia Road in Beavercreek. Thai Village at Cornerstone is quickly filling the space left behind by Core Life Eatery. Trust me, this is an upgrade.

I was able to attend the soft “soft” opening this week and we were welcomed into a refreshed space staffed by smiling faces. Our party decided to divide and conquer. We started with the wings and soft rolls for the appetizer round. The wings came out first and they were a knockout. They were cooked perfect, not very crispy, but tender and juicy under the sweet and sour glaze.
Second up were the soft rolls full of fresh veggies and shrimp. The peanut sauce is as expected.
For our entrees we ordered the shrimp pad thai at the mild spice level, the beef pho at a medium level and the Tiger Roll (tempura shrimp and tuna) was the visual star of the show.
We caught a peek of the cheese rangoon and they were huge and crispy, the folks who ordered that looked happy from our vantage point.
The pad thai was full of flavor and shrimp! They didn’t cut corners on the veggies, garnish or peanuts. We all three tried it and the heat was on point for mild as ordered. The pho was big, full of flavor, packed full of tender beef, and the accompanying sprouts, herbs and peppers were fresh. We did miss having hot sauce, fish sauce, lime wedge or hoisan on the table. But the cilantro, sprouts and peppers added that fresh punch you always want. We chalked up the lack of sauce and lime to opening night hiccups. The pho came out at medium heat and caught our throat appropriately.
Finally, the Tiger Roll. Gorgeous, full of shrimp and veggies, and just perfectly presented. The spot has a dedicated space for the rolls and I’ll be back to explore more of their custom creations.
This week they are open for continued soft opening as they work out final menu details and put on the finishing touches to the dining room. Give them a follow on Facebook to keep up with their progress as the move toward a full opening after Labor Day.
