It's the freakin' Katalina Wine Mixer

Okay, okay it's not really the wine mixer. It is just as tasty though. 


Katalina's can be found in Columbus OH, on Pennsylvania Avenue. They are open for breakfast and brunch. We wish they would extend their hours- only because we want their food ALL THE TIME.

Their motto- Peace, Love, and Pancake Balls. 
So appealing, am I right?




We found out about this very, very, little hot spot while on Instagram. After seeing all of the beautiful food this restaurant was offering up we swooped in for a taste. 

When arriving at Katalina's be sure to watch for their parking lot. Don't be a goof and pay for parking like we did. They offer a public lot behind the restaurant and there are signs up stating you do not need to pay to park while at the restaurant. Unfortunately, we did not read these signs until after we had already paid. It's okay though, because the balls made up for it. Pancake balls that is. 

Yes, you heard right. Pancake balls. 

After browsing over the menu while standing in line at the small restaurant we made our decisions very quickly. It was a Saturday morning and the place was absolutely packed. There was not much time to look the menu over, but we both ended up happy with our final decisions. 

When our order was placed, we had to kind of stand and wait on a table to open up. Seating is first come first serve. No one will help you get a table. We had a group of 4, and had been there waiting on a table before another group had and they swooped a table before we did. So again, pay attention! 

Anyways, after all the chaos, we were finally seated and at the window bar. (YES! Because, great lighting for photos) We didn't have to wait long after seated for our food to be brought out. 




As mentioned earlier, I went with Katalina's famous pancake balls






The pancake balls were so, so, so, good. They are filled with Nutella and have powdered sugar generously sprinkled over them. Also served with their own take on Bacon- spicy maple. It was also a real treat.



Seth went with something a little less sugary. 

Katalina's Award Winning Breakfast Tacos

Served with three beautifully created tacos these were also a hit. The tacos actually won First-place in  a contest for the City of Columbus! 

What is in them you may ask? Well let me tell you- three white corn Koki's tortillas filled with Katalina's housemade chorizo, scrambled eggs, tomatillo, avocado, queso fresco, Snowville crema, and of course pico de gallo. 

The goodness doesn't stop there though. It is also served with Elote Cuban Cob corn. 

Seth loved every single bite. I also tried the tacos as well, and I must say they were delightful. 

If we had to pick a few places we loved in Columbus for breakfast or brunch, we would definitely have Katalina's on the list. Such great flavors and also fun and affordable. We would prefer to try going during the middle of the week though, in hopes for them to be a little less packed and more room! 

Thank you Katalina! 
Till next time, 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...

Bourbon, burgers, and Bar Louie!

This restaurant may sound familiar to some. We've eaten here before and have never been disappointed with the food or service. Stop into Bar Louie for some great food and and a great late night type of atmosphere, or maybe just after doing a little shopping in the mall.                   Bourbon Bacon Burger Just by looking at the special limited time menu of this burger and many other special sandwiches alike, we knew this burger would be incredibly flavorful. A beautifully cooked meat patty deserves nothing better than a beautifully crafted sauce and delcious toppings to back them up. A perfect meat patty topped with cheddar cheese, bacon, a delcious bourbon sauce and a nice stack of fried onion straws... It's making my mouth water just thinking about it... Unsurprisingly, the look of the burger was astonishing. The juicy patty had a decent portion of crispy onion straws that make the presentation really stick out. The first bite ...

Screendoor, What Mo' Could'ya Ask Fo'

On our Oregon vacation and exploration, we headed out to a specific well known location for breakfast. Screendoor Much like many old fashion restaurants, Screendoor in Portland Oregon is extremely popular. The vibe of the restaurant is very positive, and the decor and atmosphere is warm and makes you feel at home. The lighting of the restaurant is very soft on a beautiful autumn Portland morning, and nothing goes better with a crisp cool fall day than delicious breakfast. We browsed the simple menu, and selected our meals quickly. We had a big day ahead of us. Seth opted for their famous chicken and waffle dish, while I on the other hand went with the Texas Veggie Migas. (I can't ever pass up a good Mexican classic) Chicken and Waffles The presentation of the dish was impressive, the orange peal on top of the portions of breakfast goodness was a gorgeous touch. The chicken was absolutely homemade, hand breaded, and cooked to perfection.  The flavor of the ch...
