Naw, but let me plug some damn fine pizza in Columbus. Spagio (Gourmet Market if you prefer) has a truly exquisite prosciutto and calamata olive paste pie, and their smoked duck, ginger, and scallion pizza is wonderful. THe duck is smoked at the restaurant.
Or drive up to Cleveland Heights for what is probably one of the two best oriental-ethnic places in the country: Paul's Siam Cuisine. (The other, btw, is India Joze in Santa Cruz.) Incredible pad thai, great choo chee curry, and a divine chocolate mousse terrine with raspberry sauce for dessert. Have two.
Spagio is worth going out of your way if you're in the state; Paul's is worth a trip to Cleveland.Pizza
Dayton Delights?

Well, hell, if you're sending people to Cleveland, let me mention the Golden Lamb in Lebanon, a few miles north of Kings Island. It's a continuously-operating- since-George-Washington-slept-here hotel, with a restaurant that serves stuff like your grandma used to make for Sunday dinner when you were a kid. (Well, maybe not Washington, but Lincoln, and Taft, and a few others, I think.) It's a lot closer to Dayton than *Cleveland*. Also, if you can't get into the Pine Club, you might consider the (one-hour) drive down to Cincy for dinner at The Precinct. Tom LaSorda says it's the best steakhouse on the National League circuit, and the chateaubriand here was one of the most romantic dinners my wife and I have had (on this side of the Atlantic, anyway).
