A Restaurant Recommendation
A couple of weekends ago, I went to a bridal shower for one of my friends. Little did I know that the place it was held at would relate so well to this honors course! The shower took place in Oakwood at a place called Flyboy's Deli along Far Hills Ave. At first I didn't think anything of the name, I was just focused on finding the place and getting parking. However, I soon discovered the meaning of the name 'Flyboys' when I walked upstairs into the Aviation Hall where the shower took place. Throughout the entire room was trinkets that related to Dayton's aviation heritage. They had little model airplanes hanging from the ceiling, pictures of the Wright Brothers and various airplanes lining the walls, and information cards on certain shelves telling of aviation in Dayton. It was an amazing atmosphere! After doing some research, I discovered that one of the owners of the deli (Steve Crandall) was an Air Force Colonel who retired and opened this deli with Eunice Kim in 2013. They opened the deli with the idea of focusing on inventions and inventors that originated in Dayton. One way they do this is through their menu. Several of the menu items' names are based on inventors/inventions such as "The Wilbur" Ham and Cheese, "The Orville" House Salad, "The Step Ladder" Egg, and "The Dunbar" Chicken Salad. It's an amazing place and I highly recommend it, not just for the historic elements, but for the food as well! Here is a link to their website: http://flyboysdeli.com/
