Ohio has a funny way of turning out-of-state visitors into proud little food tour guides, and I have watched it happen in real time.
I once picked up a friend at the airport who swore we were “just grabbing something quick,” and two hours later, they were ranking their bites like a judge on a reality show. If you think Ohio is only a drive-through kind of state, this list is about to politely roast that assumption.
These are the places where visitors stop mid-sentence, take another bite, and suddenly start asking what town they are in, how far it is from their hotel, and whether tomorrow’s schedule can “mysteriously” include a second visit…
