There are plenty of great restaurants around town, and lots of lists naming the best of the best, but what are everyone’s favorite foods and drinks? Sometimes you just crave that one specific dish or glass of deliciousness. If you’re a Columbus resident, I bet a can guess what some of those cravings are. Here are nine of them!
These perfectly fried, crispy, yet soft on the inside calamari are the perfect start to any meal (or, order a plate all to yourself, and in can be your whole meal). With a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and the most fantastic tabasco mayo sauce on the side, the calamari go so well with a yummy martini and a fun night out.
A Pop Rocks martini? That's right! It's a deliciously fruity martini, made with flavored Stoli. The rim is coated in your favorite childhood treat - Pop Rocks. Every time you go in for a sip, you also get the super sweet sensation of crackling Pop Rocks on your tongue!
