Happy hamburger Day Columbus.

It's Hamburger Day?

I heard it is Hamburger Day on Twitter from @SarahStelmok a real estate agent in the great state of Virginia.

Happy Hamburger Day Wendy's (formerly Dublin Ohio based business)

Happy Hamburger Day Max and Erma's (formerly Columbus Ohio based, bought out recently too?)
Of course there are still plenty of local Wendy's and Max and Erma's to eat hamburgers at and for today...Think inside the bun... and don't forget... we'll always have White Castle.

Central Ohio Tea Party

May. 8, 2008

Categorized in: Best Food and Restaurant

Tagged with: central ohio, columbus ohio, home inspections, sweet tea, tea

I should have dedicated the little iced tea poll I did yesterday to home inspector Jimmy Braezele ... not familiar with Jimmy? That's because he's in Mississippi... although due to the licenselessness state of Ohio Home Inspector, Jimmy has ~~threatened~~ I mean offered to come do home inspections in Columbus Ohio.

In What's Cooking America - Iced Tea History by Linda Stradley wrote:

"There are two traditional iced teas in the United States. The only variation between them is sugar.

Southerners swear by their traditional sweet ice tea and drink it by the gallons. In the South, ice tea is not just a summertime drink, it is served year round with most meals. When people order tea in a Southern restaurant, chances are they will get sweet ice tea.

Outside of the southern states, iced tea is served unsweetened or “black,” and most people have never even heard of sweet tea."

Columbus do you like "sweet tea" or ... what do you call iced tea that is not sweet? Iced tea? "unsweetened"? black tea?

Vote for your tea choice if you are in Central Ohio... please resist the urge to vote if you are not in Central Ohio... maybe local restaurants know which is more popular in Columbus iced tea or "sweet tea."

Jimmy Breazele moderates a group called "Suthern Thangs" on ActiveRain.com a network for the real estate industry. Reading "Suthern Thangs" on ActiveRain.com made me think of tea and "sweet tea."

Viking invasion of Columbus

Apr. 30, 2008

Tagged with: columbus ohio, events, scioto river

A Viking invasion of Columbus? In The Other Paper I read that there will be a Viking ship in Columbus (Upper Arlington area south of McCoy, north of Fishinger tried posting a map and a link here both failed to work) on Friday, on the Scioto River...

7690 Riverside Drive is where the Viking ship will be on Friday May 2, 2008 from 8:00 until 4:00 P.M. Or will it be at that address and then sailing down the Scioto to a small town 30 miles south of Columbus which shall remain nameless here?

The Other Paper mentions that Leif Ericson discovered America before Christopher Columbus did so maybe the city should be named Ericson...

Trying embedding the map one more time...
