We ran across this restaurant review in a recent edition of the online L.A. Weekly, and the description (although from an admitted non-chilehead) was fascinating and alluring. Suffice to say, we hope that our resident Californian chilehead Jon Passow can find his way to this place and give us a full report. Check [...]

We are close enough to make an extended road trip to this place, but there’s a great online review of Mexi-Casa in Pittsburgh, PA which describes itself as the least authentic Mexican restaurant in town. A restaurant emboldened enough to make that sorta statement is probably pretty good despite its self-deprecation. One thing [...]

There’s a plethora of restaurants here in town, and many of them feature all-too-familiar themes. You have your Italian eateries, your burger joints, pizza parlors, ubiquitous Chinese buffets, and even the taquerias and other Mexican eateries. When we came across a review for the Tropical Bistro, our interest was piqued if only because [...]

We don’t do a tremendous amount of restaurant reviews, but the ones we have done are usually from some outstanding places. This one, we believe, is no exception.

The best way to make sure the burro en [...]

We don’t often offer up some mad props to some of our local hometown eateries which feed us and appease our chilehead desires when we don’t feel like cooking for ourselves. Not more than half a mile from our house sits a Chinese food eatery that fits the bill. Called Twin Sunlight, we’ve been patronizing [...]

During a recent event at the Columbus Convention Center near the North Market, I had cause to stop in to have dinner there rather than purchase some of the overcooked, nasty food being offered by the vendors at the Convention Center. To my surprise, I saw a sign on the side of the booth of [...]

Within minutes, beads of sweat began to gather on Ken Harris’ face just as he finished a habanero burger — boasted as the world’s hottest burger.

Now with this introduction, this sounds like it should be starring one of us in the role of suffering hero due to self-inflicted habanero hell.

During a rare half-day off from the world of hospital trauma medicine, we were able to take the family down to the North Market here in Columbus, OH for a couple of hours of perusing the shopping options. After picking up a bottle of wine and wonderful Belgian beer, we stopped by one of our [...]
