At 40 years, Treasure Island Supper Club keeps it simple By Brian P. Sharp One of Dayton’s dining traditions is just minutes from downtown Dayton in Moraine. Treasure Island Supper Club – known for seafood, steaks and the famous seafood salad. I decided to give this “treasure” a visit recently. Not much of the décor has [...]
Victoria’s Italian Cuisine provides traditional meals for everyone By Tom Baker After my first visit to Victoria’s Italian Cuisine in Huber Heights, I recall looking at my companion and remarking how lucky people would be to have a decent restaurant next to their hotel.

These are traditional, nostalgia evoking items: For me it’s buttered noodles, mashed potatoes, casseroles and most anything my grandmother made me. It’s richness of flavors, textures and histories, and I [...]
A Lebanese Festival, Seven Days a Week By Tom Baker As a recovering vegetarian I can tell you just how disappointing it is to walk into a restaurant, open the menu, and hope and pray that there is a 1) grilled cheese, 2) salad w/o bacon, or 3) an appetizer or pasta from which the [...]
