HOT CHICKEN TAKEOVER - OH MY

Tasty is going to the Short North in Columbus for this review. There are so many restaurants that can be found here. For this review we chose Hot Chicken Takeover at the North Market. Hot Chicken is not limited to only the Short North area though, they have a couple of other locations here in Columbus. 



As you can assume, Hot Chicken features fried chicken meals. You can chose what kind of meat you would prefer. I opted for the boneless chicken breast. After deciding on which pieces you would like you also get to chose your heat level. Awesome right? I went with mild because I like things a little spicy, but not too over the top. I thought the chicken was delicious! The mild choice was perfect for me. 




With the meal you also get two side dishes! They give you a heaping helping of macaroni and coleslaw. And last but not least, you get a slice of bread they serve under your chicken. By placing the bread underneath it absorbs all the extra sauce and flavors from the chicken. Such a great idea! 



The meal itself is wonderful, but that is not all that we loved. When you order a meal you also get your drink for free of charge! How exciting. They offer up free sweet and unsweetened tea, as well as water. 



I was impressed with my first visit to Hot Chicken Takeover. I cannot wait to go back!

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
