From remote diners to downtown political havens, the restaurants of
central Ohio satisfied palates for generations. In the era of Sunday
drives before interstates, fabulous family-owned restaurants were the
highlight of the trip. Sample the epicurean empires established by
Greek, Italian, German and Chinese families. Recall the secrets of Surly
Girl's chandelier, the delicious recipes handed down by chefs and the
location of Flippo the Clown's former jazz hideaway. Following their
previous book, Lost Restaurants of Columbus, authors Christine Hayes and
Doug Motz deliver a second helping of unforgettable establishments that
cemented central Ohio's reputation for good food and fun. That includes
eighteen destination eateries in fifteen surrounding towns.
