Food Explorations in Columbus, Ohio

Pretty sidewalk flowers, Columbus, Ohio

When you think of “Food Destinations” in the US… Columbus, Ohio isn’t necessarily the first city that comes to mind. In fact, it’s probably not the 19th or even 20th…

I’m here to change that.

This past September I joined a group of bloggers for a food-focused weekend in Ohio’s capitol city. The experience exceeded every expectation I may/may not have had before going there.

To be honest, Columbus reminds me a lot of Nashville circa 7 years ago in terms of the size and feel of the town, with friendly people and unique neighborhoods each with their own unique character and personality. The downtown is more chic and professional than our Nashvegas-like vibe, more like a mini Chicago or Philly, and the riverfront is beautifully landscaped and incredibly walkable, with public art and parks aplenty.

And the food… well, let’s just say the food did not disappoint!

I’m going to do more showing and less talking here, since I think the food (and the city) really speaks for itself. A visual journey if you will. Scroll to the bottom of this post for a full list of recommendations of Columbus restaurants!

(Thanks so much to Explore Columbus for hosting us on this amazing trip! As always, all opinions expressed here are entirely my own.)
