If you’ve never eaten at The Foundry, the one thing that you must try are the Avocado Deviled Eggs topped with pico de gallo and chili-lime dust.
For my entree, I had the Vegan Risotto and my husband had the Grilled Ribeye. Both were delicious, but my husband wished he would of had the Cherry Chipotle Salmon that was recommended by our server.

There are two other places in the area where you can hangout in an igloo.
- Twenty One Barrels Hard Cider & Wine, just outside of Bradford in Darke County, offers a two or four person experience which includes a wine or hard cider flight, pre-packaged charcuterie tray to share and a glass for each person to take home.
- The Exchange in Pleasant Hill has three options for its igloo experience. Guests can enjoy a coffee from Local Coffee & Cream for $10 per hour in the igloo, a romantic dinner for two or a two-hour date where guests can bring in whatever they would like.

This Kettering restaurant has a Thai dish not found in this region

When Thai Street Noodles opened on Bigger Road in Kettering five years ago, there weren’t many Thai restaurants throughout the region. With several now in operation, owner Pim Tintong said they wanted to offer a new dish that would make them unique.
Thai Street Noodles will now offer chicken and rice — a popular dish in Thailand that is not found in the Dayton region.
Customers can order the chicken fried, steamed or a combination of both. The fried chicken is served with a sweet chili sauce and the steamed chicken is served with a ginger sauce.
Each dish comes with a special kind of rice. It’s a jasmine rice mixed with sticky rice and ginger. Instead of only steaming the rice in a rice cooker, they have to cook this type of rice beforehand and then steam it, Tintong said.
This dish is something Tintong’s family cooks at home often. She said it’s popular in big cities like Los Angeles, New York or Boston.

A special thanks to those who participated in our Holiday Cookie Contest. I received nearly 30 cookie recipes this year.
Just before Thanksgiving, our team baked and tasted 10 of the cookie recipes. We have selected a first-, second- and third-place winner. A story will be published in the newspaper on Sunday with the top three recipes and a special e-paper edition will feature all 10 recipes.
The Dayton Daily News has conducted a holiday cookie contest since 1990, and bakers from across the region have submitted thousands of recipes over those three decades.
