Sweet Carrot has the cakes!

Columbus, Ohio is home to many delicious restaurants. There are plenty of great food spots in ohio and quite a variety of them. We kept our eyes peeled and landed on a great pick for our next blog... Sweet Carrot!

This place isn't like many restaurants in Ohio, the most popular thing on the menu is the corncake. They have many selections of drinks such as beer and they even have their own soda! But what we came for was the corncakes! The corncakes are so tasty, its definitly a must try at Sweet Carrot. The corncake has kernels of corn throughout the entire cake which makes it sort of fun to eat. Each corncake is served with house made slaw, corn salsa, and homade sauce. They have many different variations of flavors on top of these corn cakes such as meat balls and pork, which is what we opted for!

Corncake with Pulled Pork

We are going to start by saying that each corncake is quite delcious. The soft sweet and (because of the corn kernals) crunchy corncake was a perfect base for all of these delcious ingredients to sit upon. The pulled pork was out of this world, it was tender and had such a great barbecue flavor and a crispy outer edge that gave it such a nice touch. It tasted how barbecue is supposed to taste. The sauce had a sweetness but also a tanginess that was perfect for such a wonderfully cooked pulled pork. Another great thing about this menu is that they also give you the option to load your corncake with Mac and Cheese, which we gladly requested. The mac and cheese was clearly homade and very tasty and went well with the pulled pork as a good mac and cheese always does with great barbecue.

Corncake with Chicken Meatballs

The chicken meatballs were made with a great selection of herbs that are both visible and tastable. It was greatly flavored with the traditional meatball taste but simply using chicken rather than any other dark meat. The sauce was absolutly stunning, it was tangy and had a kick to it and tasted phenonenol on the meatballs. And much like the pulled pork on the corn cake, the meatballs also went great with corncake as well. The entire dish is smothered in slaw, sweet chili sauce, scallions, corn salsa and other perfect ingredients. Everything worked out so well together. We would have changed nothing about this dish. Great job, Sweet Carrot!

Sweet Carrot is easily one of the most unique restaurants we've been to in Ohio. We definitely will be coming back. All around, it's a fun place to go whether you're out to have a drink or a delcious bite to eat, Sweet Carrot has what you're looking for!
Until our next review, TASTY!

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 ...

Picklesburgh!

Pittsburgh, PA is not only a fun city to visit, but they have one of most unique traditions of many, the Picklesburgh pickle festival!! We are huge fans of pickles, and we had a blast on previous travels to Pittsburgh, so this event was perfect for us! In this particular post we are going to be telling you about all of our delicious encounters of Picklesburgh. Picklesburgh has everything pickles! Name it and most likely they have it. Anything from pickle brine chicken, pickle soda, to even pickle moonshine, and pickle cupcakes. We were lucky enough to try a good handful of these pickled creations. When we first arrived in Pittsburgh we kept our eyes peeled for the giant pickle floating in the sky! It was surely there floating above all of the delicious pickle stands and happy festival goers. It had a very fun feel being there because of the fact that it is all located on the famous Roberto Clement Bridge. Our first goal when we arrived was getting a one of a kind selfie with t...
