About The Lounge Lizards

Craig Schrolucke and Alexis Larsen are good buddies who love a trendy hot spot as much as they do a worn out hole in the wall provided the service is as good as the items being served up. They also love bar talk and all that it entails and are more than happy to belly up to this bar blog and do just that.

Like sauerkraut? Then you better head for Waynesville this weekend [things to do]

It's not every day that you can feast on a hot sundae, made out of potatoes, sour cream, olives, and, of course, sauerkraut. And that's on top of other kraut-laden food like cabbage rolls, brownies, reuben sandwiches and pizza.

Find out for yourself why a little dish called sauerkraut can bring some 300,000 to the village of Waynesville. The annual Ohio Sauerkraut Festival runs from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 11-12. More »

The Melting Pot in Washington Twp. [review]

The Melting Pot, Washington Township, Ohio

Whether you're looking for a new spot for a date, a night out with the girls or whatever, The Melting Pot offers delicious fondue fun for everyone at its first area location in Washington Twp. The Melting Pot's fondue dining concept is certainly distinctive. Here, the diners are the chefs.
