Since 1938, Akron’s Bob’s Hamburg Has Served Tiny Burgers From A Room No Bigger Than A Diner Car

Some restaurants need a parking garage, a host stand, and a pager that buzzes when your table is ready. This one needs about five booths, a short row of stools, and a single grill that has outlasted most of the cars that ever parked outside. On Akron’s East Avenue, a...

Magnolia gem. Nest Café serves quality fish, ribs, ice cream galore

MAGNOLIA − Driving into the village of Magnolia on a sunny autumn day was a slice of Americana. Serene countryside, with rolling hills, barns and green grass, was commonplace along Route 800 before crossing over the Sandy & Beaver Canal. Leaves scrambled across the street as a distinctive collection of houses welcomed me into town. The historic Magnolia Flouring Mills building appears as if it belongs on an old-time postcard. Rolling to the intersection of Carrollton Street and South Main Street, I spotted my destination, the Nest Café and Ice Cream Parlor. Another historic landmark, it's located in a two-story house owned by the Magnolia Area Historical Society that dates to the 1800s. Trying out the food and sweet treats at Nest Café was the point of my visit to the village of roughly 1,000 people. But the charm of Magnolia added to the overall experience before my first bite of lunch. Downtowns, both locally and across the country, often struggle to draw people to businesses, particularly on weekdays. Not the case at Nest Café. The parking lot was full on a Thursday. A promising sign for a first-time customer. Walking up a long ramp to the front entrance, I

Costs to force SE Ohio ‘free’ grocery store to close

(The Center Square) – A southeast Ohio “free” grocery store that received about $20,000 in taxpayer-funded grants over the last year may close its non-profit operation. With God’s Grace, funded by private donations and taxpayer grants since 2014, began as a food pantry but expanded to a grocery store. Founder and Executive Director Nicole Adkins told The Center Square rising costs may force her to close the doors. Adkins blamed inflation for higher operational and food costs and fewer donor dollars. “Right now, we are able to keep it open until January,” she said. “We want to keep the store open. But with the rising cost of insurance, utilities, food and gas, everybody has a higher cost of living. That is trickling down to our donations. We’ve always been donations based. We get small government grants but it’s nothing like big government grants that other organizations get.” The organization buys food from grocery stores or wholesalers at a discounted rate, Adkins said. The store stocks a variety of fruits and vegetables, non-perishable food and even household goods. Many of the patrons are elderly. It also has mobile locations for distributing food but may have to sell the grocery store building

ZANESVILLE – Five local culinary teams brought their best dishes to the table as community members ate, sampled and voted their way to a winner at the 2026 Taste of Muskingum. Birria tacos to a Zane Grey-inspired stew were on the menu but in the end it was Market Street Prime's pork loin and sweet potatoes that captured first place. The annual people's choice cooking competition and Foodworks Alliance fundraiser was held at Weatherington Woods. Market Street Prime's win came with the help of Executive Chef Daniel Kinsey Jr. and his team of three who presented pancetta with apple-stuffed pork loin, spiced rum sweet potato mash, candied carrots, sweet potato crisps and crispy leeks, along with brandy and maple syrup and balsamic glazes. "It was just a pleasure being there and showing what Market Street Prime can do," Kinsey told the Times Recorder on their victory. "I hope everyone enjoyed our food."

The crab legs at this buffet don’t get their own tray. They hide inside a steaming seafood boil pan, tangled up with crawfish, corn, and potatoes. That turns dinner into a small treasure hunt. Better yet, the kitchen keeps carrying out fresh pans, so the hunt starts all over again.
