BEST BITES: May May was such a fun month and it went by so quickly! Here are the 5 best things I ate this month: 1. The Avalon burger from @tedsmontanagrill 🍔 it has Gruyère, blue cheese, & bacon-caramelized onions on it! 2. The brownie cookie dough cheesecake mini from @thecheesecake.girl ! I’m so glad that we have a location close to home at @bubblyhallnewalbany now 🥹 3. At the @northmarket Apron Gala, @black.radish.creamery created the most perfect bite. It was a truffle potato chip with whipped Brie, edible flowers, and pop rocks (!) and it was impeccable ✨ 4. I haven’t shared this yet, but Monika from @maanisfood came over this week and cooked dinner for us using her delicious Indian spices and it was fantastic! I can’t wait to share more 👀 5. Name something better than strawberries warmed from the sun straight off the vine. There’s literally nothing better, just ask the strawberry queen herself, Cece! @doransfarmmarket is open with all the strawberries right now and we had a blast picking!! 🍓 What’s the best bite you’ve had lately?? #bestbites #cbusfoodscene #614 #columbus #cbusfoodbloggers #cbusfood

My Mother’s Day gift from Jacob was this incredible spread of pastries from @theparableparable made by the extremely talented @aaronmclouse ! This was my first time trying any of his new pastries and we were loving every bite! The flavors, textures, and beauty of these are so unique to Columbus. I already have a list of treats to try for my next visit! Have you been yet and what’s your favorite thing you tried? #pastrychef #pastryart #downtowncolumbus #localcoffeeshop #cbusohio #cbusfoodscene #614

Restaurant shoots with hand models >>> And when your hand models are also photographers it’s even better!! These two pics are from the restaurant shoot at the @foodphotographycorner retreat & they were so much fun! As a reminder, I only have room for a few more new restaurant photography clients!

@doshermanoseaston recently opened a brand new stand-alone restaurant at @eastontownctr ! Their new restaurant has an expanded menu with all kinds of margaritas, tacos, apps and even desserts! We love that they use authentic Oaxacan-style recipes and local ingredients 👏🏻 have you been to check it out yet? #eastontowncenter #eastonfoode #eastonfood #doshermanos #tacolover #elote #614 #cbusfoodscene

Shooting at restaurants is one of my favorite things to do! I love taking the delicious dishes that the kitchen creates and making them look as mouthwatering as they taste. As we head into spring & summer, if you’re changing your menu, this is the perfect time to reach out! I only have room for a couple of new clients in the next few months so please let me know if you are in need of gorgeous photos of your restaurant ✨ #restaurantphotography #restaurantphotographer #cbusfoodphotography #cbusfoodphotographer #cbusfoodscene #614

The @northmarket in Downtown Columbus has so many fantastic vendors. It’s the perfect place to go with friends and family because everyone can order from their favorite stall and you can all enjoy your meal together. Here are 5 vendors to check out next time you’re downtown: 1. @satoriramenbar for delicious ramen 2. @jenisicecreams for decadent ice cream 3. @black.radish.creamery for a fantastic selection of cheeses & other charcuterie items 4. @foxsbageldeli for breakfast & sandwiches 5. @momogharohio for Tibetan and Nepali dumplings! What’s your favorite stall at @northmarket ?

@tedsmontanagrill at @eastontownctr still has Mother’s Day reservations available! It would be the perfect place to celebrate because their food is delicious and all made from scratch. Basically like you’re giving your mom a home-cooked meal with out the hassle 😅 if you’ve never been to their Easton location or tried their delicious bison, you should change that ASAP! My favorite is the Avalon bison burger with house cut fries and their homemade chips & dip! What’s your favorite thing from Ted’s? #tedsmontanagrill #fromscratchkitchen #eastontowncenter #eastonfoode #614 #cbusfoodscene

As we head into the spring and summer months and life gets busier, we are always looking for quick and easy meals so we can spend more time together as a family. @larosaspizzeria is such a great solution! #ad They have an app so you can order on-the-go and their pick-up situation is top notch. They even have a separate entry into the restaurant just for pick-up orders! We got LaRosa's the other night for dinner and it was a great meal for everyone since the menu is huge! My favorite thing was the build-you-own calzone with garlic dipping sauce. Sign up at mylarosas.com to start earning rewards now! #larosaspizzeria #dublinohio #614 #cbuspizza
