By Como Whine and Dine It’s funny that I blogged just this afternoon about “some new place going in where Casa Grande used to be.” As one of our readers pointed out, the new place’s name is La Terraza. It’s open, I went, and I’ll be honest, I was blown away by it. We had [...]

I will turn my blackberry off during the performance (that is just good theater etiquette) but I will update this post during both intermission and after [...]

Come out to Shakespeares pizza for the chance to win items such as chocolate covered cookies or a flatbranch [...]

By Beth Hoag I spent weeks scanning the menus of Columbia restaurants determined to find the best nachos this city has to offer. After consulting with fellow nacho lovers, I narrowed by list down to my top 5. 5. Lee Street Deli- Nothing beats these if you are looking for ball park nachos. Layered with [...]

By Staff of Como Whine and Dine Thank you to our reader, Drew, for the wonderful review of Churchill’s. Since we had not yet reviewed it, we were very excited to hear his take. Here it is: Several Weekends ago my Wife (henceforth referred to as B) and I decided to try Churchill’s for the [...]
