Ethnosh held six events between October 2019 and March 2020 before everything came to a screeching halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ohio became the first state on March 15, 2020 to order bars and restaurants closed with the exception of takeout or delivery.

So when I heard that Ethnosh — one of my favorite food events before the pandemic — was returning after a three-and-a-half year hiatus I was absolutely thrilled.

Hearing the news that Ethnosh events, called “NoshUps,” at immigrant-owned restaurants in Dayton, will be back to put the spotlight on both the food and the stories of local immigrant-owned international restaurants and food businesses in our wonderfully diverse city had me overcome with joy.

“This certainly isn’t the team we’re going to be, and we all understand that,” Taylor said in his post-game press conference when asked what he told the players.

Despite expectations being higher than ever coming off back-to-back AFC Championship appearances, the Bengals struggled out of the gate, falling 24-3 to the Browns on Sunday in the 100th “Battle of Ohio” matchup. An offense that didn’t get any first-team preseason snaps together looked not surprisingly out of sync considering the team had the equivalent of just two weeks of practices with starting quarterback Joe Burrow.

“I was born and raised in Columbus and in Elyria, Ohio,” Kaine said. “I came to Dayton in 1963 to go to a private high school – Fatima Hall at Maria Joseph.”

Kaine had plans to become a nun after growing up in a very devout Catholic family. In fact, she said her mother decided that, after having six daughters, all of them would become nuns.
