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

Breakfast Time at Table 1

Being Ohio natives we were happy to find an independent restaurant near us. It had Great decor, and the restaurant itself had a visually fun and hip/modern look (no surprise here.. most small businesses take this role). The lighting was at a relaxing level, they placed numbers above the tables to try and give a unique look. Enough about the decor though, lets move on to the important Tids! First things first, drink options. They had a small variety of drinks offering the usual selections - Soda, Water, Tea, O-J, Milk. We decided on getting the Cola, because we had a long drive ahead - we were headed for Amish Country in Millersburg OH. (Blog soon to come..) Our server seemed to be lacking some energy that day as well, I mean it was Saturday. She brought our drinks and we were surprised to see more than a simple cup, Coca-cola served to you in a jar! Enough mumbo about the drinks though, onward to the main course. We both opted for The eggs Benedict. We were unsure o

The Ale House May be Good for Whatever Ails You

All of you Ohio natives out there, if you havent been to Ale house 1890 in Lancaster Ohio you are definitely missing out. They have wonderful hamburgers and so many to menu items to choose from! All of these burgers are specially made with their own selection of fresh ingredients. They definitely know their way around a burger! They also have new specials  pretty frequently such as fried macoroni! (See review for fried Macoroni below!) so go in and don't miss them! Ale House 1890 Our first pick from the menu was the Barnyard Burger.  Barnyard Burger This burger was an absolute taste masterpiece! The first bite I took I could immediately taste the sweetness of marmalade and the grilled taste of the patty which collided with each other creating a  wonderful taste combination. The garlic aoli was a nice touch to the burger as well, better than mayonnaise if you ask me! Also the micro greens was a great bonus to an already delcious sandwich. And what is better on a b
