Review: Sweet Peace Bakery

June 10, 2011

In my house, growing up, there was always a box of Oatmeal Cream Pies from Little Debbie in the pantry.  I think my mom may still keep them there.  The creamy filling sandwiched by soft, slightly spicy cookie is still a favorite, though I couldn’t tell you the last time I’ve had one.  I don’t [...]

Review: Foodzie

June 9, 2011

I love the trend of “curated” sample packs. I fell in love with this trend via Birchbox, which sends you five samples based on a theme (April was “earth-friendly”, May was “Gifts for Mom”).

Summer Reading, Food Edition

Soho Sushi to be renamed Fusian

June 2, 2011

Soho Sushi, the fast-casual sushi concept on 4th, has changed their name to Fusian (pronounced like “fusion”). I talked with Zach Weprin, one of the owners, a couple of weeks ago and asked him about the change, which is official as of today.  ”We want to tell a story.  In college, we loved sushi, but [...]

Japp’s, the former bar (and wig shop) and now the second foray into the bar scene in Over-the-Rhine by the owners of Neon’s, has annoounced its opening: June 23, says Molly Wellman. The bar will feature craft cocktails, a comfortable atmosphere, no TVs, and “the same coffee maker the Pope uses”– a big investment for [...]

Bits and Bites: A Tavola Opens, Blogger Can’t Resist

June 1, 2011

I popped in for opening night. This isn’t a full review (in fact, all I’ll say is that I’m happy there are some healthy choices and that the pizza is good) but a few pictures to whet your appetite: Bruschetta with ricotta and sweet corn ($3) Margarita Pizza with Prosciutto ($12) Asparagus Salad ($7) Split [...]
