From sewage leakage to an air conditioning system riddled with problems, a husband-and-wife team with Ohio State ties described its first small business venture in the South Campus Gateway as one in which the best of times became the worst of times. Spouses and Gooeyz co-founders Lanne and Dave Bennett set up shop in the alley of the Gateway plaza in August , welcoming college students to campus with a taste of home in the form of cheesy, greasy comfort food.
High St. The Gateway is a subtenant of Campus Partners, which is a private nonprofit corporation that works on community planning in the campus area alongside OSU and the city of Columbus.
The South Campus Gateway was 5 years old at that point, and Lanne Bennett said she and her husband were told by the management, which was Columbus Commercial Real Estate of CBRE Group at the time, the space was fairly new, a turnkey restaurant where the two could come in and launch Gooeyz after signing the lease.
Management would send people over and clean up, but it never got fixed. It was then, she said, traffic began to dissipate. And although many on staff do enjoy the modern cuisine choices near OSU and think that they deserve equal consideration on a list such as this, with kickstarting conversation in mind, here's a diverse, quick take on a few places that whether you're jamming out at the 18th Avenue Library or half a dozen shots deep at Too's, you'd do well by hitting up. There'll be plenty of time for debate with a long offseason ahead of us, but before we get into counting down the elite of the elite, let's take a look at a few of the stronger places you can't go wrong with.
This restaurant, located in the South Campus Gateway, is all about the sandwiches; mainly grilled cheese. Not just any grilled cheese, though. Gooeyz loads their grilled cheese sandwiches with meat, veggies, and of course, cheese. One can choose from contents such as chicken, bacon, feta cheese, and chipotle mayo-along with many others. They have their own creations that they sell, but they also have a make-it-yourself portion of the menu that is certainly the way to go at Gooeyz.
It's fairly new to the Ohio State area; so for those of you who haven't tried this grilled cheese paradise, I recommend you do so next time you visit OSU. If you are fond of Greek cuisine and late night food fast, Apollo's is the place to go. It's an order-at-the-counter type of restaurant that doesn't have a bad thing on the menu.
I highly advise you to get a lamb gyro and the jalapeno poppers if you do indeed venture to Apollo's during your visit to Ohio State.
There are only a couple booths and some counter seats at Apollo's, so the seating is limited, but you need to try Apollo's if you never have, especially if you're partaking of High Street's late night scene. One of the newer additions to the restaurant landscape near Ohio State, Fusian is best described as a Chipotle-style sushi restaurant.
You choose everything. From the wrap, to the meat, to the vegetables, toppings, and sauces, you make it how you like. I must say; I wish they had Fusian when I lived on campus.
I absolutely love this place. Youie Gooeyz with ham, Swiss, sundried tomatoes and artichoke, lettuce, and three cheese artichoke spread Trevor Law August 19, James Moore August 24, Team trivia nights Wed You can win house cash.
