Hello, Thursday! Chelsea here.
We all know that the Columbus food and drink scene is top-notch. But itās always lovely to see local tastemakers honored on a national level. The James Beard Award Semi-Finalists have been announced, and three Columbus institutions have been honored in the Outstanding Bakery, Outstanding Bar, and Best Chef categories. Itās such an exciting time for restaurants and bars here in Columbus, and I canāt help but feel lucky that we get to experience it.

š Plan Your Dream Wedding In Style At Franklin Park Conservatoryās Wedding Showcase
I vividly remember the January after I got engaged to my husband. I was fully in the thick of wedding planning and feeling fairly overwhelmed. Luckily, if youāre involved in planning a big day right now, one of the best wedding showcases in town is happening this Friday, and it will absolutely take the stress out of the process. You can meet some of the best vendors in the city, drink champagne, and see one of the most beautiful venues around.
