Chinese Takeout Throwdown : Round 1

Posted on 06 May, 2010

By Capturing Como After moving three times in 18 months, I can say hands down that the best part is finding restaurants in our new city. What can I say? I love to eat. What isn’t fun is trying to find reliable classic foods, be it pizza, a burger, or good old-fashioned Chinese takeout. We’ve [...]

Move Over Taqueria El Rodeo

Posted on 21 April, 2010

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 [...]

Ingredient

Posted on 16 April, 2010

From Como Whine and Dine When I go out to eat, a salad isn’t usually my first ordering option, which is why I’ve been hesitant to try Ingredient. But it caught me on a particularly “fat” day when I felt that it was time I buckled down on eating more greens. I was surprised that [...]

Stadium Grill

Posted on 16 April, 2010

From Como Whine and Dine I finally got around to trying the Stadium Grill the other night. We went with a large party on Sunday evening. The place was pretty dead (spring break, I love you), but our waiter was prompt and so was the food. The concept is pretty interesting. The main menu item [...]

Dixie Cream

Posted on 16 April, 2010

From Como Whine and Dine All of the Dixie Cream talk a few weeks ago got my husband and I donut inspired. We made the trek across town to feed our donut hunger. When I got there, I was a little overwhelmed. I’m used to the selection as Casey’s – which is good but not [...]

Best Nachos

Posted on 24 March, 2010

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 [...]

Review of Churchill’s

Posted on 10 March, 2010

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 [...]

Cala-what?

Posted on 01 March, 2010

By Staff of Como Whine and Dine Blog I still can’t understand why Coley’s hasn’t caught on. The place has consistenly delivered good food at reasonable prices. Friday night was no exception. I ordered the hoisin pork chops. I can’t remember ever ordering pork at a restaurant before but the description lured me to it. [...]

A Delicious and Slightly Fruity Treat

Posted on 01 February, 2010

by Beth Hoag Despite the cold weather, I found myself really looking for some good ice cream. However, since my New Year’s Resolution involves trying to eat a little better I searched Columbia for a lower calorie alternative. I found exactly what I was looking for with Columbia’s new own frozen yogurt bar, YogoLuv. Located [...]

Cafe Berlin…finally!

Posted on 15 December, 2009

by Gwen Ragno After many, many failed attempts to eat at Café Berlin (map) over the past year, I was finally able to get there while it was open and have a meal. The hours are a little odd, and on one visit the kitchen actually closed for unexplained reasons minutes before I got there. [...]
