Bienvenida Chile Verde Café!
PepperIt is with a real sense of excitement that Dine Originals announces its newest member Chile Verde Café. As they say on theirwebsite “The actual description of our cuisine is New Mexican…although most refer to it as their obsession.” Located in a shopping center on Bethel and Sawmill, this unassuming location is a destination for diners who know authentic New Mexican food. With peppers and spices flown in weekly from artisan growers in New Mexico, and the tastiest Margarita poured in the county, it’s easy to understand how they collect testimonials like this one:

“Chile Verde is as close to the southwest that you can get without boarding a plane. The food takes us to Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Phoenix every time we visit. The blue corn tortillas and green chile are authentic New Mexico tastes.” -Tim M., Hilliard, Ohio

Chile Verde Café is located at 4852 Sawmill Rd., Columbus, OH 43235. phone: 614.442.6330. Visit them on the web.

Calendar note: only 49 days until Cinco de Mayo!

Seven Days of Savoring

March 3, 2011 – 9:47 am Posted by Katharine Moore

Filed under: Features

Dine Originals Week March 2011 is upon us. Our supporters love the tradition because it offers diners the opportunity to enjoy more than 50 participating restaurants — including many of the city’s most notable — at a bargain price. One of the lessons we have taken away from this Groupon-era of discounts is that everyone appreciates a bargain, but over the long term the real appeal is for value, and a price fixe lunch at Barcelona for $10, or a three course dinner at Alana’s for $30 certainly fits the bill.

This week ranks up there like some sort of a national holiday for the community of like minded people who support Dine Originals Columbus. If you have a soft spot for exceptional dining establishments that make things from scratch, on premises, and rely on local products made with that artisan labor of love, welcome to our Seven Days of Savoring. If you are more apt to head to the neighborhood pub with local brews on tap than one with all of the stock national favorites, we have introductions we’d love to make.

From Katzinger’s and Katalina’s Corner Café, to Bel Lago Waterfront Bistro and Mozart’s Bakery and Piana Café, our members approach dining out from 51 different approaches, but there are commonalities; nobody seems to feel the need to pull any tricks; our members just focus on making each serving a dish of high quality with deep flavor. Have a grilled Reuben sandwich at Spinelli’s Deli, Horseradish crusted Arctic Char at L’Antibes, and/or a Parisian Macaron at Pistacia Vera. These are kitchens that are hardwired to put out remarkable food, and Dine Originals Week is a chance for them to strut a bit.

Pour over the attached menus….they are certain to pique your appetite and your interest!
