Having been in Columbus for a week it seemed like a good time to go and eat out. We got on the bus and headed up the High St to Northstar Cafe. It was decided that it was more like a restaurant trying to be a cafe than just a cafe, but that is fine. Having ordered a BBQ chicken flatbread I waited for my sandwich. As you can see, I got a really thin lovely pizza type thing, no complaints. Great Lakes Brewing Company provided further refreshment with their Eliot Ness Amber Ale which went down pretty well. Plenty more in their family to work through...
As it was next door, it seemed rude not to stop at Jenis Splendid Ice Creams for a bit of pudding. K had a pretty amazing macaroon with vanilla ice cream and black currant jam squeezed in the middle. I opted for a scoop of Riesling Poached Pear Sorbet and a scoop of Goat Cheese with Red Cherries. The word Artisan may be mentioned but I don't care when it tastes as good as it does. Trying to keep it as a "now and again" treat is going to be the challenge.
Today it is set to reach 96 degrees which for the Europeans out there (OK, most of you) is about 36 degrees C. Our air conditioning does seem to be holding up at the moment but going out again later for a BBQ could be more of a challenge than it should be. End of weather chat.
Very excited about this blog, Steve! I've never been to Ohio, or anywhere west of Philly to speak of, so your witty observations of life in Columbus will likely seem as exotic and exciting as I'm sure they will to your European readership...hope you're both doing well so far! -Andy
ReplyDeleteNice one Andy, will try my best to keep it interesting! Feeling a bit wiped out by the heat today, looks like it might be coming to an end in the next couple of days thankfully...
