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...

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 ...

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 bet...
