Food truck Thursday

This Food truck Thursday I decided to give Fetty's Street Food a try. Specializing in asian and Indian cuisine they are a permanent fixture on the commons during the Thursday food truck roundup this summer. 

I decided to try the "Bunny Chow", African butter chicken curry with chickpeas in a bread bowl.  It was amazing, with good flavor and a great blend of spices without the spice of other currys. The dollop of dill infused greek yogurt helped cut what little spice crept in.

It was a great quick meal that I could eat every week if there weren't so many other great choices.

Continuing quest for Columbus' best burger: The Ringside

On my continued quest to find the best burger in Columbus I finally had a chance to grab a burger from Ringside Cafe, and I am impressed.

Down what on first look is an alley off Broad Street is the Ringside Cafe, an elusive but much lauded burger joint serving the downtown lunch rush and doing it well.  The boxing theme carries through it's menu, with a large variety of burgers named after famous boxing greats.

I had the The Duran Cajun Bleu Burger A 1/2 lb patty with bleu cheese crumbles, grilled red onions & smoked bacon. My burger was perfectly cooked, with strong if a bit salty seasoning and that signature crust you look for on a well cooked burger. The onion rings were perfectly fried, with the onions cooked through but holding together well.

Overall it was great, but the extra salt puts it behind Preston's for me.  We'll see if I can find someplace to beat either of them soon.

Preston's Food Truck

The Columbus Commons weekly food truck festival includes quite a few great tastes from the Columbus food scene, with a rotating roster of trucks. 

​Today I gave Preston's a try, and am glad I did. I ordered a Preston double with salt and vinegar fries.

The fries were perfectly double fried giving them a great crisp. The vinegar was a bit heavy, but they were good. The highlight though was the burger. Well seasoned, with perfect temp and a great crunch. It was traditionally dressed with shredded lettuce, pickles, ketchup and mayo.

This was probably the best burger I've had in Columbus, and it won't be the last time I grab one from them this summer.​

9 Dang Fine Thai

  After recording the video this afternoon for Old World Whiskey Society I needed some food so  I headed to my favorite spot for a quick lunch, 9Dang at Orenco Station in Hillsboro.

Thai iced tea is a beautiful thing

  The crab and cheese puffs are great as an appetizer

Spicy Drunken noodles with Beef are always a great choice for good meal
