Welcome to Columbus Chow!

One guy from Laurence Harbor, New Jersey and the other, a Southsider from Chicago. Since meeting over coffee in 1977 they have travelled all over Columbus looking for the perfect breakfast place. Each with his own quality standards; yet surprisingly, similiar in what matters most. This blog is dedicated to our efforts in finding the very best in Columbus, OH breakfast joints. The Best? Food, absolutely. Unique Staff? In someways more important than the eggs! The Decor? Who cares! Just one absolute.....there is very few national chains that could qualify. Check back to see our first post....we meet every Saturday morning with that weeks post soon after. Occasionally we will venture out maybe to Granville or Cleveland or even further, who knows however the choices will be honest greasy spoons

Jersey Boy

Background:  Laurence Harbor guy. Pretty humble beginnings to listen to him tell it. How can that be, he was raised in a harbor town! He since travelled the world and has enjoyed lots of white tablecloth experiences, yet, his biggest culinary thrill is: .....Jimmy Buffs' Italian Sausage .... how about that! Throw in some New York street food (mostly pizza) and you can't begin to get ahold of what excites his taste buds. yet the favorites are diners, jersey's best! peter pak , colonial, chick's for meatball sandwiches and pete's for clams I mean steamer's awesome baby

Southsider

Backgound: Pretty humble beginnings to listen to him tell it. Grew up on Chicago Hot Dogs, eye-talian Beef and Sausage, Polish Sausage, deep dish pizza, Elliotts Donut Holes, Beverly Drive-in where he worked for two summers as a short order cook...since then he's opened and operated an award winning catering company, a real foodie, studies cook books for goodness sakes...yet, still has to have his White Castle every 6 weeks or so..
