Before going to Ohio I received lots of remarks and jokes about going and honestly I did/do the same thing when people talk about going to certain places or states. The ultimate reason I went was to see my brother but Ohio has some good spots.
Excuse the excessive amount of pictures of houses but I love brick houses and there were so many beautiful ones to look at!
As I mentioned before I left for Ohio, my brother was out of power for a while…it came on the day before I got there!! 😀 But we did have a slight scare when a sudden rain storm came and took out the power…luckily only for a few minutes this time!!
Now, I want to show you some of the yummy treats to be had in German Village.
Katzinger’s Deli
Katzinger’s Deli is absolutely amazing…I wish I had one of these near me. This is the type of deli you would find in Europe or New York City.
It has cases of fresh yummy cheeses and meats.
This place had so much…and I wanted to try it all! From freshly made sandwiches to pie and pastries and of course beer and wine…
One of my favorite parts may have been the free pickles while you waited! 😀
My first time there (yes I went more than once!) I had pastrami, hard salami, swiss and cream cheese on rye bread.
We had apple slices with an apple cheddar cheese…not quite a cheddar but similar taste…a little more dry and crumbly.
Then we also enjoyed a spreadable cheese that had a strong olive flavor…this topped the crackers with some hard salami and boar.
Dinner was a light Caprese salad with mozzarella and tomatoes over arugula with mint and dried basil leaves.
Harvest Pizzeria
At the Harvest Pizzeria we started with a Caprese Salad (this actually sparked us making it at home).
I apologize for the dark picture but my brother was able to get a good picture of the pizza. The pizza was phenomenal!
The Spicy Yuma was topped with Gouda, chorizo, jalepeno, corn, roasted red pepper, and a chipotle-spiked tomato sauce. The vegetable pizza had mozzarella, provolone, onion, olives, mushrooms, bell pepper, and sunflower sprouts.
Skillet
The Skillet was a great breakfast place. A very small dining area but well worth the wait if there is one.
The pancakes were so delicious…some kind of berry-cheese goodness!
My brother had ham-sausage and biscuits smothered in amazing-ness…it was so tasty!!
Beautiful golden potatoes!
This may look like only a regular egg omelette…but it came with lamb and even the eggs alone tasted like they had been soaked in lamb juice…mmmm 🙂
Overall, the trip to Columbus was great! Since you are probably wondering where all my beer reviews are…there will be more! Don’t worry! 😀
As a tribute to Akron, Ohio I must include some Black Keys…oh and because they are amazing.
Rockin’ out to:

Yay!! I am glad 😀 You can join anytime!
Great Post – loving your photos – the food – YUM:) Have a Great Weekend!
Thank you!! You too!!
As soon as I saw your first picture, I knew you were in the German Village. My brother lives there, too! And I absolutely love that little neighborhood.
😀 Yes it is a very nice area. It makes you seem like you are out of the city and not necessarily in Ohio.
You have a really engaging style of writing. I like it
Thank you very much! That is kind of you to say 😀
Yeah, I’m pretty much drooling over those pancakes! I love your scenery pictures–they’re so beautiful. I had a chance to travel Europe when I graduated and when I was in Germany and Austria, I fell in love with everything German. When I find enough downtime I am going to learn the language–I find it so intriguing and beautiful at the same time!
Oh yes, the pancakes were so freakin’ good!!! And I don’t typically order pancakes at breakfast…
You should totally try to learn the language! It is fun 🙂
I want to jump in my car this minute and drive to that delicatessen (from Oregon!) Everything looks so delicious!
haha YES it was all SO good! Oregon, eh? That is on my to-go list…because of all the wonderful breweries in that area!
Thank you for stopping by!!
I’m slightly in love with that sandwich too. Bet it was fantastic! As for the cheese cabinet, say no more! Continental European delis are the very best!
Oh it was so delicious! Makes me hungry thinking about it 🙂 MMMmmmm…they are the best!! 😀
Wow, those pancakes look so yummy! Makes me want some now…
Oh man, they were so delicious. I still think about them!
The craft brewery craze has taken hold here. I believe we have around 12 now in central Ohio alone. Growlers unite!
That is awesome! My brother and his wife are in Columbus and my brother is going to start doing some local brew reviews for me since we don’t get all the beers this way 🙂
