Columbus

Axios Columbus

Over the years, a variety of magazines, bloggers and travel sites have "discovered" the Columbus food scene. But local foodies have known for years that our region is full of great, diverse eats.

What we're doing: At Axios Columbus, we think the scope of our city's international food options deserve to be mapped on a globe.

That's why we're setting out to eat around the world right here in Central Ohio, reviewing some of our most unique and delicious spots while we map their cuisine's nation of origin.

The goal: See how many countries' dishes we can try, from Asian specialties on Bethel Road to authentic sub-Saharan African dishes on the northwest side.

Eat around the world without leaving Columbus

We're mapping global cuisine across Central Ohio, one dish at a time.
