The Ohio Coffee Company is making a move to be closer to its customer base, according to WDTN.com.

Fricker’s plots more locations

Two cities in the northern and southern Dayton region are preparing themselves for an onslaught of chicken wings, flat screen TVs and spirits when two new Fricker’s restaurants open in the fall after completing about $1.5 million in renovations.

Sidney and West Chester can expect to see the new wing-and-beer joints open in September and October, respectively.

Louisiana Grill brings taste of bayou to Dayton

http://www.daytonmostmetro.com/

No one is going to mistake the Dayton region for the bayou, although the recent heat wave may cause some to debate that. On the food front, the area does have a few Cajun restaurants — although it recently lost one with the closing of Crocodile Louie’s in Kettering. But the operators of Louisiana Grill, Home of Bourbon Chicken have been hitting the festival circuit for years with their Cajun offerings. Last fall, they opened a permanent restaurant location in the former Meadowlark space near the Dayton Mall.

They go all out on ambience.....

...the former Meadowlark, which had a rotating gallery of large paintings on those now-bare walls.

The restaurant will open in a temporary space in the tower on Monday while renovating the former Rutledge Gallery space in the main lobby.

..good to hear, since it wont be burried in that old "King Cole/Olivias" space.

unfortunatly one of those restaurants that is only open during the week on business hours...same with Ohio Coffee.

Ohio Coffee could have been one of the cool spots downtown, as it had a sort of funky somewhat bohemian atmosphere (& they did host occasional after-hours things generated by the local boho set). It will be interesting to see how they "fit in" to the lobby of a skyscraper, in a space that has zero street visibility (in contrast to their old location).

That Oakwood deli sounds interesting...with the upstairs deck seating.

And the coffee shop in Kettering...interesting....trying to place the location???

Sidebar in the Oregon District has not been paying it's employees for months. I have several friends who worked their until recently, and for months have bounced paychecks from the restaurant. A total shame because it was a great restaurant, great food and excellent service. The owner Brian Higgins, however, is a total crook in my opinion. He's also accusing a good friend of mine of stealing thousands of dollars, while he is the one not paying employees consistently. This has been stewing for months behind closed doors. Watch some of the videos below, particularly the Dayton Informer link:

New co-op brewpub seeking charter members

DAYTON — Founding members of the planned Fifth Street Brewpub at 1600 E. Fifth St. in the St. Anne’s Hill neighborhood are seeking charter members who would pay $100 to be part-owner of a cooperatively run brewpub.

....for those of you familiar with Dayton or who have been following my neighborhood history posts from years back, this is the old American Saloon AND an adjacent building that used to be a shoe repair shop back in ye olde days.

...and, for those of you who know me as Mr. Negative when it comes to Dayton, I put in my $$$ and am a charter member in the co-op! I figure I'd do a little bit to try to save one of the empty buildings I took pix of...

Oinkadoodlemoo seems like a neat concept. I thought Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers could have been good as a national or regional thing too, but they didnt expand.

My impression of Oinkadoodlemoo is that it's a cut-down City BBQ. They don't have beer, they didn't have table sauces when I was there last summer (you have to ask at the counter), the value for what you get is (IMO) much less than what City BBQ offers, and the variety of meats and sides are both less than City. Their food that matches City BBQ is comparable in quality and flavor, which is why I compare the two.

I just enjoyed the experience of eating at City BBQ much more than Oinka... Oinkadoodlemoo is too antiseptic to be accepted widely as a legit BBQ place. I think Oinka has a long way to go to expand regionally and stay stable. They're too expensive and selections are too limited.

I have always enjoyed the branding on Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers' logo - very "R. Crumb" in style with the hamburger and beer bottle characters. Went there a while back and it seemed like just another boring Fricker's type fried food and beer place.
