Hot Chicken Takeover is a restaurant located at the North Market and brings Nashville hot chicken to Columbus.
I've had actual hot chicken in Nashville, so I wasn't sure about this whole place. But I'm really glad I gave it a go!
It's cool how they make it so fresh, they run out. So get there at a good hour!
I actually went for a kid's meal (since I ate at 5000 different places per day), and it was a great deal! I got a boneless mild chicken piece with a side of macaroni & cheese. And their housemade ranch was delish.
When I went to Frank's Pastry Shop previously, I asked what their most popular donut was. They told me it was their pumpkin donut, but it's seasonal. So I marked it on my calendar for a return visit. And, it was worth it! This pumpkin donut is thick, cake-like but with a delicious sugary icing on top. Mmm Mmm.
North Market is SO cute!
I love seeing all these vendors gathering with a common goal of improving the community and providing goods for them.
North Market has an incredible amount of vendors with everything from spices and ice cream to coffee and fish.
Jeni's Ice Cream is a staple! I didn't grab any this time, but I do love it.
I snagged some pretzel samples from Brezel and wowwow.
And, flowers can make any day better!
My friend Dawn and I recently made a weekend trip to Cincinnati, and we just so happened to plan it during one of the biggest events of the year: Oktoberfest Zinzinnati.
Oktoberfest Zinzinnati, is America’s largest Oktoberfest. It is said to be the second largest in the world, behind Munich.
Some of the highlights for me included the world's largest chicken dance. In 1994, it broke the world record for the largest Chicken Dance with 48,000 participants, and they host it each year. So we got to take place in that!
Oktoberfest Zinzinnati showcases the rich German heritage of Southwest Ohio, as well as tasty samples of German-style music, food and beer. First held in 1976, the event has grown to be America's largest Oktoberfest with more than 575,000 people attending each year.And, they had a bratwurst-eating contest, where none other than Joey Chestnut competed. He won with 68 Glier's brats in 10 minutes, two off his world record. He's the only winner ever in Cincinnati's brat-eating contest - which was in its ninth year.
I became interested in the Major League Eaters when they came to West Virginia to eat pepperoni rolls. Joey wasn't there, but I keep hoping one year he will be!
This festival was large, rowdy and fun.
