Marion County • September 16, 2025
Good morning, Marion County. The local food scene is getting a delicious upgrade as wing tavern owner Devin Keeton and partners prepare to launch Holy Cow Smash Burgers & Fries, starting with a food truck before establishing roots in a brick-and-mortar location. This savvy business expansion follows a growing Columbus trend of restaurant owners taking their culinary creations mobile, proving that sometimes the best ideas come served on four wheels.
Meanwhile, nostalgia gets a fresh coat of paint as Level One Bar + Arcade celebrates its 10th anniversary under new ownership. John Reemsten has revitalized the gaming hotspot with 80s-inspired neon and updated games while preserving beloved classics like Donkey Kong. And for those tracking Dublin's evolution, the ambitious "Bridge North" development is set to continue the transformation of the Bridge Street District with five new mixed-use buildings—further reshaping the suburban landscape into a vibrant urban corridor.

🍔 Local wing tavern owner expands into burger business with food truck. Devin Keeton and partners Eric Williams and Spencer Campbell are launching Holy Cow Smash Burgers & Fries, starting with a food truck operation. The new venture will eventually include a brick-and-mortar restaurant location in London, Ohio. This expansion follows a trend of local restaurant owners diversifying their offerings through mobile food options. Holy Cow joins the growing food scene in the Columbus area, where several establishments have recently added food trucks to complement their existing businesses.
🎮 Level One Bar + Arcade celebrates 10 years with new owner and makeover. John Reemsten took over the Columbus gaming hotspot in August, fulfilling his "lifelong dream" of running an arcade. The space now features fresh paint, neon signs for an 80s vibe, and updated game selections while keeping classics like Donkey Kong. Reemsten plans to enhance the experience with weekly leagues, themed nights, and tournaments, while preserving the family-like staff that has been there for years. The anniversary celebration kicks off September 20 with giveaways and new game unveilings.
