Dinner @ Cedar Valley Café

Hey! What do we have here? A Lebanese (& American) restaurant in Findlay. At least there are some silver linings after all. With the loss of the Big Jerk and Guru India, I was starting to get a little agitated with this town.

Since there is so much American food around here, I flat out ignored that section of the menu. I know it's there to appease people who may not want something different. Fortunately, I am not one of those people. My dinner started off with the national dish of Lebanon: Kibbie (or Kibbeh or Kubbeh or Kibbe). It was a delightful mix of beef, onion, and bulgur wheat. They were served in the traditional fried, torpedo-shaped croquettes with a cup of yoghurt.

Grand Openings That We Missed

A couple of new restaurants have opened in Findlay, and we realized a bit too late that we didn't announce their Grand Openings.  However, we believe in the saying, "Better late than never," so here you are:

The Bedrock Cafe, located at 2227 Tiffin Ave., opened its doors March 2nd.  Housed in the old Ruby Tuesday building (next door to GFS Marketplace and across from Meijer), their selection features a variety of American fare including appetizers, hot soups daily, a variety of salads, 21 different sandwiches, wraps and burgers, a number of grilled entrees, pastas, and a special section of the menu devoted to fajitas.  Open 7 days a week from 11am-10pm, they can be reached for carry-out or reservations at 419-425-8721 or 419-425-8726.

Opened just a week ago, the Cedar Valley Cafe is located at 1132 Tiffin Ave. (next to Tim Horton's, near the US 12 split).  Setting up shop in the building formerly occupied by Kona Town (and, before that, Skyline Chili), Cedar Valley Cafe features an impressive menu of  Lebanese & American cuisine.  From the numerous kebabs and kibbies to a variety of salads, stuffed grape leaves, Hummus, Baba ghanoush or Moutabal, there seems to be enough to keep anyone busy sampling the various authentic dishes.  Open Sun.-Thurs. from 11am-9pm and Fri.-Sat. from 11am-10pm, you can call ahead for pick-up (making use of their drive-thru) at (567) 525-5665.
