Foodies Unite - Taste of Grandview Event

If you follow Columbus a la Mode regularly then you already know that two of my favorite things to talk about are Grandview… and Grandview restaurants. So, you can imagine my delight when I was recently invited to preview the fares being offered at this weekend’s Taste of Grandview.

Last week I joined other Columbus food writers (Bethia Woolf, Laura Herron, Lisa Dillman and Christina Christian) in a restaurant crawl where we sampled Grandview’s finest. By hour three our bellies were stuffed and our iphones were filled with photos, fun facts and tips for navigating this foodie heaven taking place Sunday, October 3.

A variety of vendors will be participating, but the following restaurants were kind enough to open their doors and invite us in to sample their “Taste” concoctions.

Grandview Café
Third & Hollywood
Noodles and Co.
Hoggy’s
Minuteman Pizza
Trattoria Roma
Mazah
Jeni’s Ice Cream
Stauf’s Coffee Roasters

If you want the A La Mode reco, my personal favorites go out to:

Third & Hollywood’s cheddar herb biscuits with prosciutto, pimento cheese spread and frisee lettuce. They served it up with a Meiomi Pinot, which was the perfect compliment to those warm, salty biscuits.

I also L-O-V-E-D Mazah’s Baklava Sundae. The texture in this dish is to die for and even after their amazing sampling platter; I promise you’ll want to save room for dessert.

All the details for the event can be found on the Taste of Grandview Facebook Page. On a somewhat related note, I’m now on a diet.
