Red Robin’s Massive 18-ounce Gold Medal Burger

June 28, 2024 By Dayton937

Burger fans are in for a big treat—and we mean big. Gourmet Burger joint Red Robin has recently rolled out their limited Olympic-themed menu items for summer, the Gold Medal Burger and Star-Spangled Spritzer!

Inspired by the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics that will kick off on July 26 through August 11, The Gold Medal Burger features three layers of American cheese in between three juicy burger patties on a bed of pickles, Red’s relish, and onions, topped with mayonnaise, tomato, and lettuce. It comes with unlimited refills of crispy Steak Fries (or Bottomless Yukon Chips, Bottomless Steamed Broccoli, or a Bottomless Side Salad).

The $19.79 Gold Medal Burger is about 18 ounces in weight, making it the perfect summer challenge for anyone up to the task. The burger chain has already hosted a competition internally, daring participants to finish the huge Gold Medal Burger, as well as the tall Star-Spangled Spritzer. However, only a few managed to finish the challeng.

The chain says that they are excited to see who else is up to take on this fun summer feat. Those who are brave enough to try will get a chance to become a Gold Medal Burger Hall of Famer, which will be posted online on Red Robin’s official website. To see if you are one of those who might conquer this challenge, simply pay your local Red Robin a visit and place an order for the Gold Medal Burger. To make your entry official, you must submit your name via the brand’s website.

Plus, you can keep the patriotic vibes going by ordering Red Robin’s limited-time Star-Spangled Spritzer. The delicate mix of Sprite, raspberry syrup, and blue cotton candy served in a light-up cup that’s yours to keep. While supplies last.

This limited-time combo is available now. The Star-Spangled Spritzer is limited to dine-in purchases, and the Gold Medal Burger is available only at select U.S. locations until August 11.

Thai Table Sold, Owners Announce New Restaurant

June 27, 2024 By Lisa Grigsby

Kiel and Suwapat Whited have just announced they’ve sold Thai Table, the restaurant they opened in 2021 on Far Hills  Avenue.  Their last day will be this Sunday and the new owners, who are also Thai who are will take over Thai Table and announce their opening date soon.  For those of you who have Thai Table gift cards, rest assured that you can still use them at Thai Kitchen and Hello Thai.
But the journey doesn’t end here. They’ve just announced their new restaurant, Thai Village! They hope to open Thai Village by the end of August at the former Corelife Eatery building in Centerville, just off Wilmington Pike.
They posted this on their facebook page to describe the new concept. “Thai Village will be a warm, inviting, and family-friendly place where you can enjoy authentic Thai dishes, sushi, and a full bar. Our goal is to create a charming and traditional atmosphere that feels like home, and we can’t wait to welcome you all to experience it.”
Then ended with “We encourage you to continue supporting the new owners of Thai Table. Your loyalty and patronage have been invaluable to us, and we hope you extend the same warmth to them as they embark on their journey.”

McCoy on Movies: The Bikeriders

June 20, 2024 By Tabari McCoy

Butler, Comer and Hardy lead Jeff Nichols’ motorcycle-driven snapshot of masculinity in THE BIKERIDERS


WATCH THE TRAILER HERE:

 

THE BACK STORY: Inspired by Danny Lyon’s book of the same name, THE BIKERIDERS stars Jodie Comer as Kathy, a woman living in/around Chicago in the mid 1960s. She is the paramour of Benny (Austin Butler), a rebellious young man who only cares about two things: His Harley-Davidson motorcyle and The Vandals, the bike club of which he is a member. The Vandals are essentially his family as he spends the majority of his time with its various members doing whatever it is they wish to do at any given moment. 
 
The Vandals are led by Johnny (Tom Hardy), a stoic figure who’s presence is understated, yet fully commanding in as much as he doesn’t say compared to what he does. This is why he is rarely challenged, both on decisions and for leadership of the club, making him an inspiration to members like Cockroach (Emory Cohen), Zipco (Michael Shannon), Wahoo (Beau Knapp), Brucie (Damon Herriman) and Corky (Carl Glusman). They live life as they ride: Free and uninhibited with their brothers – and the occasional lady – at their side. 
 
But as The Vandals begin to rise in prominence, they also begin to rise in notoriety, leading to run-ins with the law, townspeople and other bike clubs. But as Danny (Mike Faust) – a college student who interviews Kathy and documents the club’s activities, the goal being to produce a book one day – Kathy and The Vandals will come to learn that all good things must eventually come to an end …
 
THE REVIEW: Did you catch wind of that recent social media debate about which would a woman choose if she was stuck in the middle of the woods with the option of a bear or a man? Watching THE BIKERIDERS, the reasoning behind what would seem to be the ludicrous choice becomes clear from one scene to the next. For in presenting a masterful depiction of the rise of the American motorcycle club and its eventual demise from its glory days, writer/director Jeff Nichols and company have created a definitive 120 minute visual showcase of two words – toxic masculinity – inadvertently. 
 
This is not to suggest by any means that the film is quote-unquote “bad” by any means; instead, in creating a tribute to the men (and women) that have been romanticized in popular culture, THE BIKERIDERS – whether intentionally or unintentionally as it seems – exposes the pitfalls and trappings of what is supposed to define masculinity (being “cool,” “macho” and rebellious) for what they really are: Broken men looking for a sense of family, belonging, self-worth and purpose that have perpetuated from their origin to the 21st century.
 
While his turn as Elvis Presley may not have made him the true household name he surely sought to become, THE BIKERIDERS should help propel Austin Butler to the forefront. Coming with the standard issue teen idol/boyband heartthrob visual presentation, Butler shows that he can work a leather jacket, motorcycle and sideburns and not the other way around. While his character could easily come off as one note (and at times, almost does through no fault of his own due to the circumstances around him), Butler commands attention in each scene he in which he appears.
This in turn plays well off of Hardy’s stoic, Tony Soprano-like performance as Johnny, a man who despite what should be considered the perfect family life for his era, desires something different, something animalistic, something more – his bike club allowing him to enjoy the king of the jungle status so many men crave.  This makes he and Butler’s character two peas in a proverbial pod, the old lion with his young apprentice, both of whom desire to be free of anything (except possibly each other) in an “us against the world” manner for the ages.
In turn, this makes the various members of their club – Army burnouts, blue collar workers who wouldn’t stand out from the pack – look up to them, aspiring to be what they believe they are (true men) and unable to see their faults and flaws. This in turn is reflected in Toby Wallace’s pivotal character, the classic product of a 1960s broken home who sets out to be the opposite of what he feels – trapped, lacking power and unable to become his own man. This is why he sets out on such a destructive path which, of course, leads to pivotal (if not predictable) moments in the film. Yes, there is brotherhood and camaraderie with certain times that reflect the “live free” spirit that THE BIKERIDERS seeks to celebrate … But it’s extremely hard to ignore the cost that comes with it.
This is why the film being narrated by Comer’s character makes for the most interesting component of the film. In Kathy, we don’t get so much of a woman discussing her wild times with her man, but almost more of a mother discussing her children, hoping that all of her prodigal sons will one day return home safely even though she knows they won’t. (Maybe that’s why a friend who is also a parent left an advance screening of the film, the moments of violence and profanity aside? Then again, this isn’t exactly her “type” of movie to begin with, but I digress …)
In a world where ideology is constantly evolving, THE BIKERIDERS, for some, will seem like a breath of fresh air, showcasing a time when “men were men” and how one should look to set their own path as opposing to bowing to society’s standards. For others, it may seem like a documentary of the Cro-Magnon mindset seemingly responsible for all the world’s current major problems – and who’s to say which is right?
As a film, however, THE BIKERIDERS is entertaining – and maybe just leaving it as an intriguing piece of cinema versus the inspiration for a way of life is where it would best be served.

Big Boys, Big Macs and the Tootburger from Dixie Diner

June 20, 2024 By Bryan Suddith

I remember my first Big Mac. 8th or 9th grade. Wrestling team bus ride to an away match. My bestie, also named Brian, ordered one. I ordered one. It was amazing. Shortly after I learned that a Big Mac was McDonald’s take on the Big Boy. You could get a Big Boy in my town at Frisch’s. I had been a Buddy Boy guy before this life changing revelation.

Since that time, 1987, I have been a Big Boy guy. Big Mac’s are great in a pinch but the Big Boy is the OG. Here’s the story.

The original double-deck hamburger with two “never frozen” burgers, lettuce, cheese, mayo and our special red relish was invented at Bob’s Pantry in 1936. The Big Boy brand and sandwich, a double decker hamburger, only existed in Burbank at the 4 Big Boy diners. It wasn’t until the 1940’s the Big Boy brand was franchised to Frisch’s in Cincinnati and to EatNPark in Pittsburgh.


At one time the Big Boy name and burger was franchised to dozens of operators covering hundreds of restaurants including Bob’s Big Boy, Frisch’s Big Boy, Shoney’s Big Boy (they still exist but don’t feature the OG Burger on their menu any longer). At one time Marriott owned the brand. Somewhere along the way it was adapted and the red relish disappeared and variations of thousand island and tartar sauce were swapped in for the sauce we know today.

A McDonalds guy in Pittsburgh introduced the idea of a Big Mac in the late 60’s trying to compete with Pittsburgh’s EatNPark Big Boy and Bob’s Big Boy both of which were popular in Western PA. The first Big Mac was served in Uniontown PA in one of Jim Delligatti’s McDonalds locations (he owned quite a few McDs).

My favorite version here in Dayton can be found at the Dixie Diner in New Lebanon. They call theirs the Tootburger, an homage to an old New Lebanon Ohio drive in, the Toot, that served a Big Boy like sandwich back in the day. It was a 1960’s hot spot for cruising and old fashioned fast food.

The Tootburger is everything you wish you got with a Big Mac. Two great beefy patties and a housemade sauce, cheese and three fresh buns holding it together. Start with an extra napkin or two on hand.

My second favorite is the Whizzburger at the Dizzy Whizz between 2nd and 3rd in Louisville’s Old Lou neighborhood. This place has the feel of old drive in and the burger never disappoints.

So if we are skipping the Golden Arches, and it’s tough to find a Frisch’s anymore, where do you go for this all-American double patty, triple bun, sauced up burger? Tell us in the comments, and if you make it out to the Dixie Diner in New Lebanon, tell them that Bryan from Dayton Dining sent you.

Candy or Protein Bar- We Say Both

June 20, 2024 By Dayton937

Before working out or after, many people search for some form of protein to energize them.  ONE Brands has collaborated with Hershey’s to make this dream a reality with two unique flavors.

The partnership features Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme and Reese’s Peanut Butter flavors, each containing 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

“Many peanut butter flavored protein bars exist in the world, but only ONE Brands can do it with real ingredients of Reese’s peanut butter,” said Bo Jones, ONE Brands brand manager via a press release provided to Guilty Eats.

If peanut butter isn’t your thing, there is also the Cookies ‘n’ Creme one mentioned above. Like the Reese’s bar, it offers the iconic taste that Hershey fans across the nation will remember with one bite. And it doesn’t come with the guilt that occurs when buying a sugary chocolate bar at your local Walgreens or wherever you may purchase candy.

That said, the new collab helps those with a sweet tooth to find a new alternative. Instead of going straight to the shelf to grab a candy bar after a workout — a protein bar inspired by the candy can replace energy while providing the taste you love.

Footlong Dippers Now at Subway

June 18, 2024 By Dayton937

Subway is fueling America’s love for all things Footlong with the debut of all-new Footlong Dippers, available at restaurants nationwide. These hot, cheesy and craveable footlong snacks join the wildly popular Sidekicks menu at the irresistible price of $3.

Footlong Dippers are served hot, swirling melted cheese and meat and rolled in Subway’s soft and bubbly lavash-style flatbread.

Three varieties:
Pepperoni & Cheese,
Chicken & Cheese
Double Cheese

Served with one of Subway’s 11 signature sauces, like Honey Mustard, Creamy Sriracha or tangy Peppercorn Ranch. Footlong fans can choose their own flavor adventure and try all 33 sauce and dipper combinations to find the dip that hits.

“Subway’s all-new Dippers embody the changes Subway has made over the past few years by elevating our food and guest experience to better meet the needs of today’s diner – balancing their love for the iconic footlong alongside our commitment to convenience, crave and value,” said Doug Fry, President of Subway North America. “Our guests devoured nearly 30 million Sidekicks since their debut in January and they will find all 33 flavor combinations of Dippers for $3* to be equally irresistible.”

Dippers are the summer blockbuster sequel to Subway’s Sidekicks menu, joining the instant classic Footlong Cookie, Auntie Anne’s® Footlong Pretzel and Cinnabon® Footlong Churro. Subway’s third major menu refresh this year follows the launch of Sidekicks in January and all-new signature wraps in April with a hearty new lavash-style flatbread also showcased in Dippers.

With Dippers, Subway now has a footlong for every eating occasion and every budget. From footlong subs to cookies, churros, pretzels and now Dippers, the brand continues to build on 60 years of footlong expertise, with even more innovation to look forward to later this year.

Rum Runners in Kettering Now Officially Open

June 17, 2024 By Dayton937

We first wrote about this restaurant in May, when they were doing carry-out orders and finishing the construction.  They said they’d open in June and today they officially posted on their facebook page the doors are open and they are welcoming guest to dine in with them.

Owner Jamie Campbell said it’s been she and her partners dream to open a restaurant for about a decade and they’re excited to make it a reality.  They share a love of rum and  have a rum-based BBQ sauce line that is currently sold locally at Dorothy Lane Market and Dots Market.  The sauce offerings include honey rum, sweet rum and spicy rum as well as a forthcoming rum and Coke sauce as well as a glaze in the same flavor. All the sauces will be available to add as side for any order as well as a sauce option for the restaurant’s chicken wings.

While the restaurant has rum in its name, guests won’t be able to order a cocktail with their meal, at least not at first. The eatery plans to get its alcohol licensing in the fall, at which time it will serve alcohol in addition to food.

The Menu:


Rum Runners Cafe & Sauces
