Hoggy’s Blogers Dinner
This evening, I am one of seven local blogers attending a blogers dinner at Hoggy’s Bar and Grill 1370 Johnstown Rd. Columbus OH. They supplied the food, we tasted and agreed to blog about the experience. Well…Thats what I do. No requirements other than that. Ray Smith, Marketing Manager at Hoggy’s, hopes to bring some awareness to their new menu items.
I had participated in a similar event at the Grandview location last year. It was a great time and I have been looking forward to tonight’s event for over a week. Mark Turner talked with the group at last years event about the Hoggy’s philosophy in serving it’s guests. Watch the video here if you missed it.
We had the opportunity to listen to Cliff Cody perform while we dinned. Cliff is a local talent (New Lexington) who performs in Nashville one week a month. Hoggy’s Gahanna will have live music every Thursday night. Blues one week and Country on the other.
The new menu items we are trying tonight are St. Louis Ribs, Sweet Potato Fries and the NEW Loaded Nachos.
The Sweet Potato Fries were found to be crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and very tasty. The Loaded Nachos are described, in the video below by Alexis Webb the General Manager.

The St. Louis Ribs were served dry so we could select from the many awesome sauces they now place on the table. The ribs were very meaty and cooked to fall off the bone.
Along with the new items Alexis served many of Hoggy’s famous dishes and toped it all off with their 3 layer cakes. All left very full and extremely satisfied.
