Columbus Restaurants

You can always count on a traditional meat-and-three to blow your mind, and nobody does it better than Columbus’ native cooks. Platters groan under the weight of fried catfish, meatloaf or pork ribs with sweet-and-sticky sauce. You haven’t lived until you’ve tried eggs benedict with fried green tomatoes. However, the city has some diverse newcomers, including internationally known competitive chefs and Level II sommeliers. Who knew that Southerners would be clamoring to try daeji bulgogi or curried goat with makhani sauce? Whether you order an old standby or something less conventional, your food is bound to be fresh. Farm-to-table food isn’t a movement here; it has long been a way of life. Even Prince Charles has enjoyed Columbus’ iconic scrambled dog, but he’s probably the only visitor who’s ever had it served on a silver platter.
