Sweets for Cheaps!

Short snippet of a cute little bakery and cake shop we stumbled into today while doing a little shopping.

Capital City Cakes, Grove City OH

This was our first time here, and we kind of had difficulty finding it. We called the number listed online, and they were helpful enough to get us going in the right direction, although they closed within the half hour.

To my surprise when we found the small bakery it was quite welcoming. They had a few small glass display cases set up and we decided to try a few random things since we weren't sure what we would enjoy the most!

Pictured below: pistachio lemon cupcake

I'm a big fan of nearly anything pistachio. So upon first glance I decided I had to have one of these. The woman who was getting the items reassured me that it was really good. So I was excited to try it. It wasn't the best cupcake that I've had, and maybe not even in the top cupcakes that I've been able to try. I was slightly disappointed, mainly because the bakery is supposed to be famous mainly for the cakes they produce. But it wasn't a bad cupcake either, it was simply alright.

Seth and I both decided we needed a entire cookie to our self. And we were not disappointed in this decision. The cookies weren't soft, but the outer edges were crispy and the inside was chewy. It would have paired very well with a glass of milk.

Seth also ordered a small piece of baklava, but had it devoured before I was able to get a quick picture!

All in all it was a nice little place for something sweet and cheap. I almost forgot to mention the cookies were only $1 a piece, the cupcakes were $2.50 and they also have a few other items all of which were fairly priced.

Roosters, it's an Ohio thing!

We are so proud to be from Ohio for so many reasons, and Roosters being one of them! Roosters is a restaurant that only 'Ohioans' or Ohio visitors know about. It's not a five star fancy schmansy restaurant, just a tasty and fun place to eat at on a weekend or after a long days work. The famous slogan really speaks for itself "A fun, casual, joint", but it doesn't happen to mention the delicious food they have available! We are regular Rooster customers, we usually go a couple of times a month. We usually stick with our favorites from the menu, but you really can't go wrong with anything they have to offer. Whether it's the loaded nachos, a burger, or their tender boneless wings dipped in your choice of TOP OF THE LINE wing sauce, you wont be disappointed. Most of the time we go with the boneless wings drenched in tangy sweet Thai chili sauce. The quality of the meat is unbeatable, but the big kicker for us is the sauce. The sweet

Amorino has the Gelato

Oh gelato, you make me smile, especially in the form of a beautiful rose. Yes, you read that correctly, gelato in the shape of a rose. You can find this so called rose shaped gelato at Amarino in Chicago. After hearing about this place, I HAD to add it to our itinerary while we were back in the Windy City. Amarino is downtown, and we didn’t have that much trouble finding parking. We went later in the afternoon; I would say around 5 p.m. and found Amarino to be especially empty. When you enter the double sliding doors (cool touch) you will be right in front of their gelato selections. They have a wide selection. We came for the rose, but you are able to get a simple bowl instead as well. When finally deciding what flavors we wanted we ended up with Pistachio, cookie butter, and chocolate. The flavors went very well together. We watched in awe as the server sculpted a beautiful rose master piece in front of us. It turned out so pretty!

Fatso's.. hopefully Not-so Last Stand

Fatso’s Last Stand is a "somewhat" fast food restaurant that can also be found on the outskirts of Chicago. When it comes to hot-dogs, Chicago is the place you want to be. For those who may not know, the traditional Chicago dog includes an all-beef frank placed on a poppy seed bun, with a lot of toppings such as, white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices, pickled peppers, and lastly yellow mustard. Out of the many, many, places in Chicago you can find a great hot dog we wound up at Fatso’s. Not only does Fatso’s offer great hot-dogs, they have their own spin on hamburgers. The burger is famously named “The Fatso Burger” and we couldn’t leave without trying both. When ordering you’ll also notice that all of their hot-dogs are served Chicago style, but you can add or remove all the toppings that you would like. Fatso’s has a few different types of hot-dogs to pick from in terms of the meat and style
