Dayton’s Forgotten Chili Parlor

By Leave a Comment

5 Star Chili on W. Siebenthaler Ave

Three weeks ago, while driving around West Siebenthaler Ave, we came across a restaurant we had no idea existed.  It was called “5 Star Chili.”  We decided to go in and explore for an impromptu Food Adventure.  The food was great so we went back 2 more times in the following weeks.  It was time to share an article on Dayton Most Metro about this forgotten chili parlor.

 

HERE’S THE SKINNY on 5 STAR CHILI:

— 5 Star Chili is a family owned business, located at 3257 W Siebenthaler Ave in Northwest Plaza

— The restaurant has been around since 1993, and is known for Cincinnati Style Chili

— Hours are – MON – SAT 11am -4pm, closed on Sundays.

The 5 Way Chili at 5 Star

— Menu consists of chili, burgers, dogs, sausages, gyros and fries.  They also sell our favorite, Mikesells Chips and have a full selection of soft drinks in cans.

— Seating is limited to a few tables for four, tightly packed in, or carryout is available.

— The food is served in “to go” containers whether you are eating in or not.

— In a city of Skyline Chili and Gold Star Chili, this is a similar product, but a different taste when it comes to seasonings.  If you like those two restaurants, you will like 5 Star Chili.

Inside 5 Star Chili

Now you know about 5 Star Chili. When you are here, what are the best food items on the menu?

 

MUST EATS at 5 STAR CHILI:

— 5 WAY CHILI:
Delicious combo of chili, spaghetti, beans, onions and cheese served in a “to go” container.  The flavor of the chili is great.  We suggest adding a drizzle of hot sauce on top to complete the experience.

 

 

THE GYRO:

The Gyro from 5 Star Chili


A good gyro, very reminiscent of the ones they serve at Dayton’s Greek Fest, except these onions are cooked.  The tomatoes and tzatziki sauce are buried inside the gyro pita.  Ir is a good, easy to eat option.

 

— THE CHILI CHEESE CONEY WITH EVERYTHING:
A small hot dog served with chili, onions, mustard and a mound of cheese.  Again, drizzle the top with hot sauce to get the full flavor effect.  One visit we were super hungry and ordered an extra hot dog with just mustard.  Damn was it good..

Cheese Coney with Everything

— THE PHILLY CHEESESTEAK:
Maybe the dark horse of the menu.  This sandwich was great.  Shaved steak served with mayo, cheese, onions, green peppers and banana peppers served on a hoagie bun.  Perfect contents to bun ratio, it was delicious.

 

We have also tried the plain hot dogs with mustard, the bowl of chili by itself and the chili cheese fries.  All were good in a pinch.

It would be nice to see 5 Star Chili get a little love from Dayton public.  While we were in there, sometimes it was busy, sometimes it was quiet.  If you live nearby, or are in the area and you are a Cincinnati Style chili fan, then you have to stop and check this place out.  Dayton’s only, non-chain, stand alone chili parlor, is waiting for you.

Local Author Pens Dayton Beer History Book

By

With nearly twenty breweries in the Greater Miami Valley, Dayton’s craft beer resurgence is no longer a surprise to most people. However, today’s breweries draw upon a long brewing tradition in the area, one with historical roots that many may find staggering.

Local author Timothy R. Gaffney’s new book, Dayton Beer: A History of Brewing in the Miami Valley, takes an in-depth look at how Dayton made beer and how beer made Dayton. By piecing together thousands of public records, Gaffney paints a coherent view of the Miami Valley’s brewing heritage as it existed leading up to Prohibition. And it’s worth noting that Gaffney timed the release of his book with the centennial anniversary of that failed experiment.

Just as the Miami Valley’s brewing trail extends beyond the borders of Dayton proper, so does Gaffney’s report. In covering not only Montgomery, but also five other surrounding counties—Auglaize, Clark, Darke, Miami, and Shelby—Gaffney depicts a broad picture of how interconnected the brewing community was and how integral is was to the daily life of Southwest Ohio citizens. He explores not only the breweries themselves, but also the individuals behind the beer.

Gaffney is touring the Miami Valley this fall, giving a talk about his book. Fittingly enough, the talks are nearly all held at breweries (except the Barrel House, which is a Dayton beer institution in its own right). His first talk was Wednesday, August 7th at Warped Wing, but if you missed that event, he has seven more appearances scheduled.

The Oregon District – 19 “MUST EATS”

By 1 Comment

Manicotti from Francos

In wake of the events this week, there are no words.  Food Adventures suggests we all take some time and show continued support and love for the Oregon District, by eating at some of the places in and around the area on Fifth Street.  We humbly suggest some of our favorites.  Here’s to keeping Dayton strong.

 

OREGON DISTRICT “MUST EATS”

Pickle Soup at Blind Bobs

CHEESE MANICOTTI at FRANCO’S RISTORANTE ITALIANO:
The pasta filled with ricotta cheese and blanketed with sauce and mozzarella.  Franco’s wonderful marinara, makes the dish and use that bread to sponge up the goodness.
824 E. Fifth St.

 

PICKLE SOUP at BLIND BOB’S:
Sounds crazy, tastes incredible.  If you like cream of broccoli soup. you will love this.  It is kicked up a notch with a hint of pickle flavor.  Not overpowering, just perfect and creamy.  A couple of shakes of pepper and you are in the drivers seat, ready to roll.
430 E. Fifth St.

The Hearse Burger from Lucky’s Taproom

THE HEARSE BURGER at LUCKY’S TAPROOM:
Keener Beef starts the burger out and it is topped with BBQ pulled chicken, cheddar cheese, pepper jack cheese, applewood smoked bacon and red cabbage slaw.   It is a 1/3 pound burger and more than a mouthful.  Did we mention they have incredible fish dinners where you pick the beer to batter your fish?  Now you know, visit there soon.
520 E. Fifth St.

Lilys Bistro has Fried Chicken on Sundays

FRIED CHICKEN at LILYS BISTRO:
On Sundays they have a treat for you!  Get a choice of a 2 piece dinner, half a chicken dinner, or a whole chicken, cut up into pieces and deep fried.  The golden brown Free-Range Fried Chicken is from a local farm.  The result is a delicious taste in every bite.  Get a bread basket and mashed potatoes to fill the table !
329 E. Fifth St.

 

MUSSELS AND FRIES at THE CORNER KITCHEN:
These delicious shellfish are steamed and served in a buttery wine sauce with tomatoes.  The mussels are cooked perfectly  and these bites will melt in your mouth. Served with a side or fries for dipping away and sopping up the sauce.
613 E. Fifth St.

Mussels and Fries from the Corner Kitchen

 

THE HERITAGE PORK CHOP at ROOST MODERN ITALIAN:
A huge grilled pork chop served alongside creamy goat cheese polenta, charred scallions and candied applewood bacon.  Chef Dana Downs has a fantastic gourmet menu, and this is just one of many hits.
524 E Fifth St

The Heritage Pork Chop at Roost Modern Italian

 

PEPPERONI ROLLS at 416 DINER:
You normally don’t see these unless you are in a big city or upstate New York.  This Italian delight is so good here because of the taste of the homemade bread.  Try a pepperoni roll today !
416 E. Fifth St.

 

PECAN AND SAGE ENCRUSTED SALMON at SALAR:
So delicate and tasty, this baked dream is the perfect dinner.  Excellent flavors and a generous serving of salmon.  Salar knocked it out of the park with this one.  If you don’t like fish, go for the filet mignon, it is remarkable.
400 E. Fifth St.

Salar’s Pecan and Sage Encrusted Salmon

FISH WITH CHILI SAUCE at THAI 9:
With such an extensive menu, they have terrific food from pad thai to sushi.  We are addicted to the huge fish with chili sauce.  A giant fish filet, deep fried and topped with chili sauce.  The spices in the fish and the sauce toppings are mouth watering.  This dish is so good, it is hard for us to order anything else.
11 Brown St 

 

LOADED POTATO SOUP at THE DUBLIN PUB:

Loaded Potato Soup at the Dublin Pub


A creamy, cheesey bowl of  potato soup topped with bacon crumbles and scallions will have you jumping for joy.  This is warm comfort food at its best.  The pub is also a great place to pair the soup with a brew.  Get lost in the flavor and stay for a second pint.
300 Wayne Ave.

 

THE SMOKED CHICKEN WINGS at SMOKIN BBQ:
Perfectly cooked, perfectly crispy wings are found here.  The smokey taste is great and the spices are good.  But they have some sauces you need to put on the side for dipping.  They got BBQ sauce and a hot sauce.  Use them individually or mix them, but whatever you do use them every other bite for a true BBQ experience.
200 E. Fifth St

Smoked Wings from Smokin Bar-B-Que

EGGPLANT FRIES at WHEAT PENNY OVEN and BAR:
Served with a yogurt dipping sauce, these are absolutely addicting.  Did we mention they have incredible pizza and pasta dishes?  Yeah, get in here….
515 Wayne Ave.

 

CHICKEN, BACON, FETA and CILANTRO PIZZA from OREGON EXPRESS:
It is like the 4th of July for your taste buds. You gotta try this.  In a place with fantastic pizza, this one stands out.  Good bar selection too, but the pizzas are off the chart good.  Fun atmosphere and sometimes there are live bands.
336 E. Fifth St.

Oregon Express – Great Pizza

 

FARM FRESH CHILI from THE TROLLEY STOP:
Made with Keener Farm grass fed beef, fresh onions, peppers & red beans, and topped with your choice of cheese or onions; or both.  A nice, hearty bowl of chili made with local beef.  Slap a squirt of hot sauce on top and you are in business.
530 E. Fifth St.

 

THE CLAM CHOWDER at JAY’S SEAFOOD:
A Dayton icon and family tradition.  Imagine the creamiest broth in the world, riddled with potatoes and plump clam meat.  Just a dash of black pepper and maybe some crackers to seal this deal.  We are talking childhood memories here or great tastes for the first time.  Either way, this appetizer is the tip of the iceberg of good eats here.
225 E. 6th St.

 

TOXIC BLONDE at TOXIC BREW CO.:

Beers at Toxic Brew Co.


Take a break from the heat with a cold one at Toxic Brew.  They are pushing the envelope on uniqueness and brewing here.  Like hops? This is a place for you.  We prefer the light ale, Toxic Blonde for an easy drink on a hot summer day.  The atmosphere is fun and the bartenders have a lot of personality.
431 E.Fifth St.

 

DRUNKEN CHEESECAKE at THE TROLL PUB:
Time for dessert? How about some cheesecake?  Rich and drizzled with caramel is the way to go.  Thank goodness that is how they serve it.  Big menu with lots of big tastes, but this item is special.  Indulge yourself and let your troubles slip away.
216 Wayne Ave.

Drunken Cheesecake from the Troll Pub

 

RAW OYSTERS at DISTRICT PROVISIONS /GLASZ BLEU OVEN/ JACK LUKEYS OYSTER SALOON and CAVIAR BAR:
Slurp!  Enjoy a taste of fresh raw oysters, just shucked.  Sprinkle a little lemon and or hot sauce on the top and your experience is all that and more.  Three business share a home in this spot.  Wander and browse them all.  Don’t forget a nice craft beer to wash it down.
521 Wayne Ave

Oysters at Jack Lukey’s Oyster Saloon

 

ONE OF 60 BEERS at CRAFTED AND CURED:
They have 60 crafted alcoholic drinks on tap, yes that’s right.  At the posting time of this article two beers stuck out for us to choose today: Witbier from Mother Stewart’s Brewing Co. in Springfield and Stay Golden Blonde Ale from Steetside Brewery in Cincinnati.  Check out the list of beers currently on tap by clicking HERE.
531 Wayne Ave.

Tokyo Grill Sushi & Hibachi Buffet Now Open in Washington Township

By

I’ve been watching the old Rue Dumaine spot ever since it was announced that has been leased and would soon house Tokyo Grill Sushi & Habachi Buffet.  Yesterday I noticed it draped with flag and stopped in for lunch.  The server told me they’d opened quietly this past Sunday.

First impression – you can’t help but notice it’s been totally transformed and the blue walls are meant to invoke the feeling of the sea, according to owner Tony Huong. This 37 year old entrepreneur explained this is his 4th restaurant, with one in Virginia and two in South Carolina and has been in the business for 20 years.  Family friends suggested he come to Dayton because it was a friendly city. The old bar has been removed, but I was informed they applied for their liquor license 3 months ago and are still waiting for it to arrive.

Across the back of the restaurant is the hibachi line.  You are give an order form to choose your base (white or brown rice, noodles) and  a bowl to put your ingredients in.  You are welcome to select as many as you want from the  over 20 ingredients on the bar, and then yous get to the protein choices, which included pepperoni, Italian sausage, squid, Krab meat, chicken, pork and salmon and turn it in to the Habachi Chef. When your bowl is ready, they will bring it to your table.

If you prefer you can order a poke bowl.  Poke means “to slice or cut” in Hawaiian and refers to chunks of raw, marinated fish — usually tuna — which is then tossed over rice and topped with vegetables and umami-packed sauces. Their will be several to choose from, the classic which is tuna and several variations with crab and shrimp, salmon and a veggie tofu bowl.

Owner Tony Huong at the sushi line.

Along the west wall buffet you can begin your selections from coconut or tempura shrimp, mozzarella sticks, french fries, stuffed crab jalapeno, crab rangoon, and then there is a section of over 24 sushi rolls- fried tuna roll, yellow tail roll, sesame chicken roll, California roll, fried salmon roll, mango banana, dragon roll, spicy tuna roll, rainbow roll and more.   Huong let us know that he has two sushi chefs that each have over 15 years experience, so you can expect quality and variety on the buffet.

 

 

 

 

Tokyo Grill will also carry a full line of bubble tea, with flavors like Honeydew, Lychee, Coconut and Carmel Mocha as well as Pepsi products.

The Chicken Spot – New Carryout is a Hit

By 1 Comment

Store front of The Chicken Spot

People are flying in and out of the newest “to go” place on West Siebenthaler.  It is called “The Chicken Spot,” and is owned by popular local chef Anthony Head.   Anthony, or as he is  also known “The People’s Chef” opened the store just a week ago, but the word is out.  While we were ordering and getting our food, at least a dozen people stopped into the carryout, ready to get some delicious chicken.

Have you heard about The Chicken Spot yet?  Well here is what you need to know about this brand new poultry joint !

HERE’S THE SKINNY on THE CHICKEN SPOT:

— It is located at 3261 W. Siebenthaler Ave in Dayton in the corner of a strip mall

— Hours are listed as 11am -4pm everyday.

The ChickenHead Sandwich Dipped in Cdubb Gold

— It is carry out only, no dine in, just some pews to sit in while you wait a couple of minutes for your order to be freshly prepared.

— The Current Menu features 2 Chicken Sandwiches with options to dip the chicken breast in signature sauces.

— A Vegetarian sandwich, fries and dessert fill out the limited menu

The menu is limited for now, but packs some big punches in taste.  Rumor is the menu will eventually expand, but until then, here are our “must eats” at The Chicken Spot.

MUST EATS at THE CHICKEN SPOT:

Under the Medusa Sandwich dipped in Gem City Sauce

— THE CHICKENHEAD SANDWICH:
This one is easy going and so good.  It starts with a hand breaded chicken breast served on a bun.  It is that simple.  Fried Chicken purists will love this one.  We believe you MUST and we say MUST spend an extra buck and get the chicken breast dipped in a sauce.
Our favorites sauces were the:
CDUBB GOLD SAUCE: A sweet Carolina yellow sauce
GEM CITY SAUCE:  A BBQ sauce mixed with some Buffalo heat.

Other sauce dip options include: Lemon Pepper Glaze, Thai Garlic Chili, and Mac n cheese Sauce which good on waffle fries too.

—THE MEDUSA CHICKEN SANDWICH:
This is soulful, funky Dayton at its best.  You start out with a deep fried chicken breast on a bun (don’t forget to get it dipped in a sauce).  You then top it with collard greens, pickled onions and macaroni and cheese.  Oh its a little messy, but all that dripping is worth the taste.  It will put a smile on our face.  Thumbs up for originality on this one. It is delicious !

— WAFFLE FRIES:

Waffle Fries

The waffle fries were great !  They also have sweet potato waffle fries but we preferred the regular waffle fries instead.

— KENTUCKY BUTTER CAKE:
Melts in your mouth and takes you down South.  This is just a simple pleasure in life and had the Big Ragu saying OMG.  The cake is moist and will fill up.  Wow was that good.

— CINNAMON SUGAR CAKE:
So delicious and the icing makes the whole thing.  Just another slice of absolute heaven  This will bring you back to your mom or grandmothers baking memories.  Don’t miss grabbing a slice.

There you have it.  Just as quick as we stopped in for great eats, we give you our guide to “The Chicken Spot.” 

Kentucky butter Cake

Congratulations to Chef Anthony Head for his fantastic start and we look forward to coming back and getting out chicken fix again soon.  Our mouths are watering already just thinking about it .

Make sure you stop into this new carry out, and to use their motto:
“They can’t wait to feed you!”
