It was about 4pm on Thursday, March 14th  and the staff at Savona were doing their usual pre-shift prep for dinner service, when a car cash crashing through a wall into the dining room.  Chef/Owner Keith Taylor, who was in the back of the restaurant when the accident occurred, said the impact “sounded like a bomb had gone off. I was startled. I went to the front to assess the situation — it looked like the roof had collapsed.”  A collision with a pickup truck sent the car into the building, and the young female driver was shaken up, but injuries to her were minor.  The same could … [Read more...]

First Friday brings the second ever Dayton Food Truck Rally to downtown!  Last month six trucks lined up at Riverscape and on a dreary day that rained off an on all day, no one was sure what to expect.  The food truck operators weren't sure whether to cancel due to weather, or show up, but how many to prep for?  What they found was an overwhelming turnout, where guests lined up in the rain by the hundreds!  Lines reached from the streets almost back to the pavilion. The turn out  was huge and for some of the trucks it was more than they had on hand.  What they learned is that Dayton … [Read more...]

The Affligem Pouring Kit or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Being a Sell Out

June 1, 2013 by
kit-opened

If you have a blog long enough, people will hit you up about all kinds of things: events, guest posts, "affordable marketing", "long term SEO options", and a whole bunch of other stuff that you will tend to ignore. However, I recently got an email that I didn't ignore. It was from Affligem, a Belgian brewery that has apparently been making beer for 950 years, though I had never heard of them. They offered to send me one of their pouring kits free-of-charge. Me being the snob that I am, I am skeptical of any brand of beer that I haven't heard of, much less one that has enough cash to send free … [Read more...]
