For a month that felt like a whirlwind, it’s sort of surprising I didn’t have more food to show you. Here are my favorite meals and drinks at the places I managed to slow down enough to photograph.

Evening Stop at Tony & Pete’s

Skeleton at Tony & Pete's in Dayton

On the way back home one evening, we stopped in at Tony & Pete’s to pick up dinner. It’s always a joy to revisit Tony & Pete’s and it makes an amazing midweek treat.

Breakfast at Bistecca

Beans at Bistecca

I have had several dinners at Bistecca this year, but this is my very first time having breakfast here. It was seriously amazing and I would love to go back. (Staying at Hotel Ardent made it very easy to drop in for breakfast!)

Omelette at Bistecca

Mocktail by Mach One Mocktails

Mocktail

Mocktails are so popular right now but I don’t normally order them when I’m out and about. But when I was at Four Winds Indigenous Fashion Show, I had a chance to try one by Mach One. It was so great and every bit as complex as a “real” cocktail.

Seitan Bites at Lucky’s

One day, we were in between a few events and needed a snack to hold us over. We tried the seitan nuggets from Lucky’s (and a bowl of chili). They were amazing and hit the spot perfectly.

Autumn Sangria at Joui

Any visit to Joui is going to be amazing, but getting to try a seasonal sangria was icing on the cake for me. It was fantastic!
