KEWPEE HAMBURGERS, LIMA
Kewpee Hamburgers, the home of the Mity Nice Hamburger, had its start in 1918 in Flint, Michigan. In 1928, Hoyt F. “Stub” Wilson and his wife, Julia M. “June” Wilson, built the first Kewpee location in Lima. As curbside service shifted, the downtown location became a drive-through, with a turntable installed to spin cars around in order to exit the lot. The final location opened in 1981 on Bellefontaine Avenue, seating up to 180 customers. With fresh beef ground daily, this favorite earns fans far and wide. You’ll love its famous slogan: “Hamburg, pickle on top, makes your heart go flippity-flop.”
MANCY’S STEAKHOUSE, TOLEDO
The Mancy name has been synonymous with the promise of quality, honest value and family service since 1921. Founder Gus Mancy was born and raised on the Isle of Crete, moved to Toledo in 1916 and brought
with him the tradition of cooking with only the freshest and best ingredients. Through the hard work and dedication of his grandchildren, the Mancy’s experience has become a living legend and combines the best of land and sea.
WHITE CASTLE, COLUMBUS
In 1921, in Wichita, Kansas, Billy Ingram and Walt Anderson launched White Castle with $700 and an idea. They sold five-cent, small, square hamburgers that were so easy to eat. They were dubbed Sliders and were sold by the sack. Today it sells the same original slider – 100% beef patty with onions and pickle – as well as countless other types of sliders creating memorable moments for “Craver” generations everywhere. It also recently became the first fast-food chain to offer the Impossible Burger and built its new Home Office in Columbus.
YOUNG’S JERSEY DAIRY, YELLOW SPRINGS
This favorite began in 1869 when the Young family built the red barn. Then, Hap Young bought a 60-acre farm shortly after the end of World War II where they produced grain, raised hogs and milked cows. In 1958, they sold Jersey milk directly to the public using glass jugs, a refrigerator, cash drawer and the honor system. In 1960 they opened their first real dairy store and started dipping ice cream, later adding their famous fried cheese curds and other baked goods. Today they run two restaurants and many family-fun farm activities to enjoy.
