This Ohio Diner Has Been Serving Locals Since 1932, And It Might Be The State’s Oldest

The motto here is a million burgers sold 37 at a time. That number comes from the stools, not a marketing meeting. Three worn wooden U-shaped counters fill the room. Strangers sit close, pass the ketchup, and sometimes leave as friends. Outdoor tables offer another seating option when the weather...

New Taco Bell in Dover

Dover, Ohio – Dover people now have another fast-food option with the opening of a new Taco Bell at 121 Dublin Drive. The restaurant brings a modern-looking building and the possibility of 20 to 30 new jobs to the area. While some people like and enjoy the new restaurant, others are questioning why the city needed another Taco Bell when there is already a location nearby. Construction on the restaurant began on October 14, 2024, and the location officially opened in 2026.

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 Donut Shop Never Closes And Even Serves Fresh Gyros Around The Clock

A donut shop that once sold more gyros than donuts? That’s a plot twist I didn’t see coming. Even better, the doors stay open 24 hours a day, every single day. The donuts get made by hand, fresh twice daily. The signature one combines chocolate frosting with peanut butter at its center, like the famous Ohio candy.

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.

20 Things You Never Knew About America's Biggest Fast Food Chains

There's More to Your Favorite Drive-Thru Than You Think Whether you're grabbing a quick burger on your lunch break, picking up a bucket of chicken for dinner, or making a late-night run for tacos, America's biggest fast food chains are probably familiar territory. But even if you've been ordering from the same restaurants for years, there's a good chance you don't know much about how they got started, who came up with their signature menu items, or the unusual decisions that helped them become household names. 1. McDonald's Started With Two Brothers, Not Ray Kroc Contrary to common belief, Ray Kroc did not found McDonald's. McDonald's brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald first opened their restaurant in 1940 in San Bernardino, CA, and created the Speedee Service System in 1948 to offer menu items more quickly and efficiently. Ray Kroc was brought on board to help with the franchising process and bought the rights to the McDonald's name in 1961. 2. The Egg McMuffin Was Inspired by Eggs Benedict What began as McDonald's franchise owner Herb Peterson's attempt to provide customers with a "to-go" version of Eggs Benedict transformed into the much-beloved Egg McMuffin. He eventually substituted American cheese, added Canadian

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
