The Plate

Mudlick Tap House, located downtown at the corner of 2nd and St. Clair streets, is launching their new summer menu. According to Proprietor Jennifer Dean, the new menu will combine the lunch and dinner menu, meaning entrees will now be available all day. In talking about the new menu, Jen shared, “we’ve really put a lot of thought into creating a menu with more Gluten Free options and dishes that can be made vegetarian or vegan with slight modifications. Our kitchen staff is great about being able to make meals that can accommodate any dietary restrictions.”

Mudlick is hosting a Gluten Free Cider Dinner this Wednesday evening. Joshua Raboin, CEO and head brewer of Redhead Ciderhouse will join Executive Chef Jason to talk you through the cider-making process while taking you on a culinary adventure highlighting the flavors of each dish paired with cider. You can do the whole prix fixe meal for $50 or order it a la carte from 5- 10pm.

Bars Serving Up Cucumber Inspired Cocktails on World Cucumber Day

June 13, 2018 By Lisa Grigsby

As our regular readers know we’ve been highlighting food holidays for years, sharing the history when we can find it, fun fact and great food and drinks relating to the food of the day. Well Thursday, June 14th happens to be World Cucumber Day.

Cucumbers are high in water and low in calories, fat, cholesterol, and sodium. They have a mild, refreshing taste and a high water content. They can be refreshing and pleasant to eat in hot weather and help prevent dehydration. The term “cool as a cucumber” is actually derived from the cucumber’s ability to cool the temperature of the blood. Also when applied topically, cucumber really does cool the blood and eases facial swelling, which is why cucumbers are so popular in facial regimens.

There are over 33 varieties of cucumbers, the most commonly available is the hothouse or so-called English cucumber. It is large, with a dark green skin, and few or no seeds.

Other types include:

Armenian, or snake cucumbers: These are long, and twisted. The skin is thin and dark green with pale furrows. These are often used for pickling.

Japanese cucumbers: These are dark green and narrow. The skin is thin with small bumps on it. They can be eaten whole.

Kirby cucumbers: These are often used for dill pickles. They have thin skin and small seeds, and they are crispy.

Lemon cucumber: These are around the size of a lemon, with pale skin. The taste is sweet and delicate.

Persian cucumbers: These are shorter and fatter than the hothouse cucumber. They are crunchy to eat.

But this year there’s an even cooler way to celebrate World Cucumber Day! Hendrick’s Gin is a brand of Gin produced by William Grant & Sons in Girvan, Scotland, and launched in 1999. In addition to the traditional juniper infusion, Hendrick’s uses cucumber and Bulgarian rose to add flavor. For several years now Hendrick’s celebrates this day and wishes to spread love, understanding and appreciation for cucumbers everywhere and invite all those with a curious mind to celebrate World Cucumber Day on June 14 to cultivate and embrace their very own unusual side.

Several bars across the Miami Valley will be featuring Hendrick’s cocktails on June 14th to celebrate “World Cucumber Day” with a slice of the unusual. Here they are, in no particular order:

This special Dayton Dining episode features one of downtown Dayton’s newest restaurants: Mudlick Tap House. Owner Jennifer Dean sits down with Dayton Dining’s Lisa Grigsby and GCP host Libby Ballengee to discuss the unexpected way she became a restauranteur, the inspiration behind the name, her decision to move downtown, and advice to diners, small business owners, and those dreaming of owning their own restaurant! It’s a food for thought, for sure!

Mudlick Tap House is a “gastropub,” pouring high-end beer and cocktails served with chef-inspired food. They are all about getting back to the best type of cuisine… food made from scratch. Their culinary creations are regional variations of traditional pub and tavern fare. They’ve created an inviting, industrial, rustic space with our sleek stainless steel countertop bar, exposed brick walls and handmade wooden tables that lend to an intimate and comfortable dining experience sure to become your favorite spot for good company and good libations.

Jen started the restaurant with her partner Forrest because they wanted a place they could hang out in their hometown, Germantown. The quick success lead them to expansion and relocation to the heart of downtown Dayton.

Before her venture into restaurant life, Jen graduated from Wright State, and then spent years in the Dayton area working in the nonprofit sector raising funds and planning events for local organizations. Forrest is a University of Dayton graduate, who worked in the automotive industry, running high end auto shops. He is also a musician and long time member of Funky G and the Groove machine.

Mudlick Debuts New Fall Menu & New Signage

September 7, 2017 By Lisa Grigsby

Things keep getting better at the downtown gastropub that just opened in July at the corner of Second & St. Clair. Their new outdoor sign is being installed today and they will be rolling out their fall menu tomorrow.

As Mudlick Tap House owner Jen Dean shares, with a new kitchen and a lot more seats than their previous Germantown location, it takes time to learn what works and what doesn’t in a new place. Like most new business, they are making adjustments, starting to figure out when their busiest times are so they can staff accordingly and learning the flow of the space.

The fall menu adds some items they’ve been running as specials and introduces some new items like pan seared scallops, chicken tenders and chili cheese fries as well as a vegan saute while removing some of the items that weren’t working aa well. Jen shares, “We’ve payed special attention to menu items that allow our guests to be in and out for their lunch hour.”

If you catch them between lunch and dinner take advantage of their “Happiness Hour” which runs from 3-6pm Monday through Friday, offers $2 off their shareable and small plates and draft beer, as well at 1/2 off bottles of wine. Jen says they’ve been steadily getting busier and “we’re already booking lots of holiday parties in our 2nd floor venue, it’s great for groups of 30 on up to a group of 140 from Square One Salon for their staff celebration .”

They recently rolled out their Saturday and Sunday brunch, which starts at 11am, and Jen told us “the bloody mar bar has been a big hit with our housemate pickled veggies and the crab hash is our shining star brunch entree, so far.”

The industrial rustic space with sleek stainless countertop bar, exposed brick walls and handmade wooden tables make for an inviting space for a casual meal. A small patio out front allows for al fresco dining, when the weather cooperates. And while it can be a little noisy in the building, Jen says they’ll be ordering some sound control panels for the ceiling very soon! Stop by for a meal, and tell them DaytonDining sent you!
