Ohio Restaurant Keeps a Once-Mighty Seafood Chain Alive After More Than 800 Locations Dwindled to a Handful

Once a familiar sight along American roads, a seafood chain that operated more than 800 restaurants has become one of the country’s rarest fast-food survivors. Today, only four standalone locations remain, and every one of them is in northeast Ohio. The chain built its reputation on battered fish, thick...

A 'TikTok famous' smashburger pizza can be found Canal Winchester restaurant

CANAL WINCHESTER − A smashburger is one thing. A smashburger pizza is another. Ella’s Kitchen + Wine Bar in Canal Winchester is putting its own spin on familiar comfort foods, including a smashburger pizza that front house manager Raegan Kunkler describes as “TikTok famous. Pam Westerlund is the owner. It's been about three years since Ella's Kitchen took over the spot at 6462 Winchester Blvd. that once housed Grapevine Pizza. "All recipes and menus at Ella's have been developed by two great chefs who have collaborated to create great food with better flavors and ingredients to improve upon the regular recipes people are familiar with," Westerlund said in a statement. The name of the business comes from one of Westerland's relatives who enjoyed cooking. "She and her husband hosted great inside meals and casual outdoor cookouts with family and friends while we were growing up," Westerlund said. "All food was always cooked and baked from scratch." One of the menu highlights at Ella's Kitchen is the smashburger. "You can get a single or a double," Kunkler said. "We have parmesan rosemary fries that come with all of our sandwiches. You can upgrade to onion rings. We also have a smashburger

This Ohio Bakery In Columbus Has Been Frying Cream-Filled Donuts Since 1910 And Still Sells Out

Cream-filled donuts have come out of one Ohio bakery’s fryer for over a century. The shop dates to 1912, and it still keeps a busy counter. Bakers there make glazed rounds, apple fritters, bowtie donuts, and Bavarian cream. I like when a classic survives a big change. This bakery...

This Ohio Diner In Columbus Has Been Serving Waffles Under A Glowing Neon Sign Since 1939

Cuban French toast is a headline item at a diner in Ohio, and it has plenty of company. Plantains, mofongo omelets, and ropa vieja share the menu with jambalaya and creole mac. I like a menu that refuses to pick one lane. Burritos, pizza, chili, and burgers all sit on...

Ohio fur season starts with beaver castor topping auction prices

The seasons for trapping and hunting Ohio furbearers – although not yet including every luxuriously jacketed species – have begun. Legal to hunt and trap without limit through Jan. 31, 2027, are red fox, gray fox, raccoon, skunk, opossum and weasel. Trapping for mink and muskrat, again without a daily limit, has also commenced and will continue within most of Ohio through Feb. 28, 2027. Trappers will have to wait until Dec. 26 to legally take beavers and river otters. Those seasons run through Feb. 28, 2027. THE GREAT OUTDOORS: More on Ohio hunting and fishing A valid hunting license and a fur taker’s permit are required to take furbearers by either hunting or trapping. Although the price can vary depending on age, duration and residency, a resident hunting license for adults costs $19 yearly, an adult fur taker’s permit $15. Furbearers are generally sought for their pelts, but the pursuit is usually not profitable enough to generate much of an incentive. It's also quite a bit of work. Trappers not only check their traps daily, but they have to apply the coup de grace to a snared and angry animal. Next comes skinning and prepping the fur for maximum

9 Strange Behaviors of Cardinals That Ohio Residents Often Misunderstand

Northern Cardinals are among the most familiar birds in Ohio, appearing in backyard feeders, neighborhood trees, wooded parks, and gardens throughout the year. Their bright red feathers and distinctive whistles make them easy to recognize, but some of their everyday behaviors can look surprisingly strange. A cardinal might repeatedly attack a window, disappear from a feeder, chase another bird across the yard, or suddenly change the sounds it makes.

We Ranked The Best Pizza Shops In Ohio For Family Pizza Night, And Here’s Who Made The Cut

One pizza shop on this list started baking thin-crust pies back in 1949. It still keeps its ovens going past midnight on weekends. Another has been run by the same family since 1961, checkered tablecloths and all. That kind of staying power caught my eye right away. In Ohio, pizza...

Ohio State Parks Offering New, Year-Round Discount for Veterans and Active-Duty Military

COLUMBUS — Starting in November, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) will offer a year-round 25% discount on overnight camping and rentals for veterans and active-duty military at Ohio State Parks. Governor Mike DeWine signed Senate Bill 233 into law in September to enact the new discount, which recognizes the sacrifices made by the individuals who have served our country by helping to ensure they can enjoy these outdoor experiences for years to come. Starting in November ODNR will offer a year-round 25% discount on overnight camping and rentals for veterans and active-duty military at Ohio State Parks. “Ohio is proud to honor the men and women who have served our country, as well as those who are currently serving,” said Governor DeWine. “Offering year-round discounts at our state parks is one small way we can show our appreciation for their service and sacrifice. We want our veterans and active-duty military members and their families to enjoy Ohio’s great outdoors.” “Veterans and service members have dedicated themselves to protecting our freedoms and serving something greater than themselves,” said ODNR Director Mary Mertz. “At ODNR, we are honored to show our appreciation by welcoming them to Ohio’s public lands and

The Heated Birdbath Trick That Brings More Birds to Ohio Yards Than a Feeder

Eastern bluebirds can stay in Ohio all winter, and plenty of them skip seed feeders entirely. So why do they suddenly show up in some yards on the coldest January mornings?. I spent years thinking my feeder was the star of the show. Then I noticed robins and a flock of cedar waxwings landing a few feet away from it. They ignored the sunflower seeds and lined up for something else.
