Best Dishes & Restaurants of 2017!

December 30, 2017 · FoodHussy · Leave a Comment

I’ve been to a lot of great restaurants in 2017 and wanted to end the year by sharing some of my favorites with you and give you a bucket list of places to go in 2018!

In no particular order, my 10 11 favorite dishes in 2017! (I went through the year and found 1 extra – had to add it! 
1. Lettuce Wraps at Lotus Pad, Liberty Center Mall, Liberty Township, OH
The LARP with pork at Lotus Pad is divine! It’s a new farm-to-table 
restaurant near the movie theater that is not to be missed!!! 
2. Santa Fe Salad at Crazy Bowls & Wraps, Blue Ash, OH
Crazy Bowls is like Chipotle but fresh and healthier – this salad with grilled salmon is great and I can order online and walk there in 2 minutes to pick it up for lunch! 
3. Buffalo Chicken Dip at Buffalo Wings & Rings, Eastgate Mall, OH
This at-home dish is a bowl game staple but now you can get it in the restaurant! It’s delicious and was served with pink chips for Breast Cancer Awareness. 
4. Fried Chicken Sandwich at Tablespoon Cooking Co, OTR, OH
So this isn’t a “restaurant” but you need to go see Jordan at Tablespoon. She taught me how to make the most delicious fried chicken I’ve ever had!! (and no eggs!) 
5. Ham Salad Sandwich at Blake’s Pharmacy Soda Fountain, West Union, OH
Sometimes the simpler, the better and that is the case with this old fashioned soda fountain in West Union. Bring $7 and you and a friend will be stuffed with sandwiches, chips and shakes (only $1). Plus – it’s a great day trip! 
6. Oktoberfest Cheese Coney at Gold Star Chili, Cincinnati, OH
How could I leave my friends at Gold Star off the list? You’ll have to wait until September for this one but don’t miss it! Brown mustard, sauerkraut and Gold Star Chili get Oktoberfest started right!
7. Pulled Pork Sandwich at Smoker E-Z, Milford OH
These guys set up shop in the parking lot of the liquor store at Rt 28 & Branch Hill Guinea Pike all summer long on the weekends. Mark your calendars now and get there early! The mustard BBQ sauce in the baked beans is another treat and get the jalapeno poppers – if you’re lucky enough for them to still be any left! 
8. Mr. Potato Head Casserole at Wild Eggs in Oakley, OH
This chain brunch place really wowed us with their food. It all tastes scratch-made and that queso was sooooooo good! The staff was super friendly too. 
9. Maple Bacon & Ham Sandwich at Zoup in Eastgate, OH
Another favorite – I had a gift certificate to try it and loved it! I found it so much better than other sandwich places and will definitely go back. The lobster bisque was great too – big chunks of lobster!
10. Brussels Sprout Tater Tot Waffle at Press on Monmouth, Newport, KY
This place keeps changing hands and names but if they stick with these tater tot waffles – you gotta go! There are many options and this was really good.
11. Queso at Frida’s 602 in Covington, KY
Maybe I saved the best for last – this was early in the year that I tried it but man oh man – this queso is the best in the city! And the furniture is so fun and bright – I’d love to swipe it for my house!
I hope you’ll try some of these in 2018 and let me know your favorites and things I’ve missed! Where should I go in 2018?
