Super Bowl 58 Made Possible by an Ayersville Native
Many of us were sitting at home or at a party watching Super Bowl LVIII on our TVs, eating appetizers, some of us hoping to catch a glimpse of Taylor Swift, cheering on one of the two teams. For Dylan Dotson, it was a little more up close and personal in an on field experience pen by the San Francisco 49ers sidelines, ensuring the entire event ran smoothly.

It`s Margarita time! I walked into @lajalisciencemexrestaurant knowing exactly what I wanted and then I discovered there was something even more new to try for Defiance County Restaurant Week. This place has become a go-to in my family when we are going to get Mexican food as everything we have had over the years has been authentic and delicious. They have a cozy restaurant on other side from the grocery store and have a patio for sitting during nice weather. This time I went with the Mexican Street Bowl which is a high protein/low calorie option that can have a lot of flavor; you get one meat protein and then all the toppings from the list available (you can add sour cream and guacamole for a small amount more). I chose chicken with black beans, lettuce, pico, tomatoes, and cilantro and then added an order of cheese dip so if I wanted a little cheese I could include it. This is probably going to become my meal of choice when I come here. Now if only I could utilize the groceries on the other side to make this amazingness at home.

Sunday drives may be a thing of the past but I invoked it for Defiance County Restaurant Week and stopped at Casa Grande Hicksville. Casa Grande is a Mexican restaurant in Hicksville that has something for everyone. They have full service bar that serves gigantic margaritas and the meal came with chips and salsa that actually had a bit of kick (I definitely had a hard time not devouring it all before my food came.) I went with the Enchiladas Bandera which is basically enchiladas for people who have a hard time making a decision on what enchiladas they want as this came with one beef, one chicken, and one cheese with different toppings. It will be hard for me to venture on to other things next time I’m here. I can say with 99% certainty (sorry, no guarantees) that you will not leave here hungry.

River`s Edge Bar & Grille may have changed over the years (from the time it was known as Spanky’s Bar) and yet the classic wooden bar (that I love in older bars) and the laid back atmosphere remains. I am usually willing to try things that I have no idea what they are (at least once - never again soft-shelled crab sandwich) and that curiosity has led me to discovering foods I enjoy. My curiosity led me to try River‘s Edge’s special for the day for Defiance County Restaurant Week. I had their chicken roll ups (added waffle fries) and
I would absolutely get this again. For those wondering - they are a tortilla filled with shredded chicken and cheese and came with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and salsa and sour cream. Their daily specials vary between homemade and comfort food and update weekly (except Fridays). The bar is cozy and welcoming to groups of friends who may be getting a drink after work or wanting to shoot a game of pool and it is close to the Maumee so I have been tempted in the past to get my DORA cup and walk paths along the river.
