Columbus, Ohio is a huge birthing place for food chains and a remarkable mecca for good food.

We always frequented that location when I was "much younger" as well - used to be the only one out on the east side of town. It was one of the original designs - was there for quite a number of years. Got razed years ago, unfortunately. The price of progress in Bexley, I reckon!
And I always used to think White Castle started in Columbus as well!! Turns out otherwise - first store was in KS, I believe. But the HQ has been in Columbus for so long (since the '30s) that the misconception the company started there is fairly prevalent.
