Filled with quirky, questionable illustrations of pizza slices, Mikey's Lake Night Slice has become an iconic part of the Columbus food scene.

This pizza joint has unique items like the "cheezus crust," which is American cheese melted atop two slices of pizza and pressed together into a sandwich.

This location had quite a bit of space - tall tables with colorful chairs in a slightly edgy atmosphere.

You can even build your own pizza.

See these weird, cute little guys?

And some are ... questionable.

I got the Mushroom with Roasted Garlic slice - and it was quite tasty!

Dirty Frank's Hot Dog Palace is a must-try in Columbus, so it was one of our first stops!

I was excited to see this place had some fun, creative takes on hot dog toppings.

And do you see that West Virginia slaw dog on the bottom right! That's right!

Dawn went with The Classy Lady, which has cheese and potato chips.

Graeter's is an Ohio specialty ice cream shop.

It's created via a French pot process, and they are known for their chocolate chips. I went with a signature chip flavor: Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip.

Yum! What's your favorite?

Ever since I moved to Charleston, I've heard about how Columbus is great, and folks love taking weekend trips there.
![Piada](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1786/28571388217_9ca1e603aa_z.jpg)
So, I've been wanting to see what it's all about. And just recently had the chance to check out this city.

One of the first stops was at Piada, a counter service Italian street food restaurant.

Here, you can pick and choose which ingredients you'd like for your meal - whether that's a piada, pasta, salad, or something else!

I wanted to try a piada, and I went with one of their suggested combos: Summer Avocado Piada - Italian-style street wrap with pancetta, fresh avocado, arugula, basil aioli, mozzarella, sweet corn & tomato.

The piada is huge! But, it was flavorful and fresh. Tasty.
