OH Food Guy
There’s Always Something New to Try
The OH Food Guy began as a list shared around the office. This list, “the Food Snob List” as one put it, primarily reviewed restaurants in the Dayton area. But it grew with time to encompass all of Ohio and beyond.
Growing up, the OH Food Guy experienced the nascent first wave of Chinese and Mexican in the MidWest and from there he was hooked. Since then, The OH Food Guy has experienced more authentic food and focuses on quality. Some of these first wave restaurants are still good, but it’s hard to go home again.
