Foodies in Ohio’s Small College Towns
The story I proposed to the editor of Country Living (Buckeye Power’s publication) was Fun Foods in Ohio’s small college towns. However, during research trips it became apparent that college towns have sophisticated “foodies” among their students, professors and residents AND that visitors come to town to enjoy the specialty, ethnic and “locovar” restaurants.
Read and enjoy – better yet visit and indulge!

BONUS: There was not enough space to print the listings for the locations that I visited so I am including that information here for those who wish to do a road trip to enjoy the bounty of Ohio foods.
