Good morning, Powell. A bittersweet farewell is brewing in Delaware's culinary scene as Chef Josh Dalton prepares to serve final meals at beloved establishments Rosebud's and 1808 American Bistro this weekend. While COVID-19 pressures have reshaped his business priorities, Dalton isn't hanging up his chef's coat completely—a new Mediterranean concept in Columbus awaits next spring. Meanwhile, Westerville's pizza landscape evolves with Red Bank Pizza taking over Antonio's former Sunbury Road location, though fans of Antonio's original recipes can find solace knowing owner Rita Pavuk plans to resurface at Westerville Campfire Brewing.
Beyond restaurant reshufflings, a different kind of preservation effort is underway across Ohio. The Union Soil and Water Conservation District is collecting milkweed pods to help restore habitats for monarch butterflies, whose eastern population has plummeted by 80% over two decades. With milkweed serving as the only plant where monarchs can successfully reproduce, your dried brown pods could help these iconic pollinators stage a comeback.

🍽️ Two beloved Delaware restaurants will close their doors this weekend. Chef and owner Josh Dalton announced that Rosebud's and 1808 American Bistro will serve their final meals on October 11. The closures come as Dalton cites industry strains since COVID-19, forcing him to reassess his business priorities. While stepping away from Delaware, Dalton isn't exiting the restaurant scene completely—he plans to open a new Mediterranean concept in Columbus next spring. The chef expressed gratitude for his time in Delaware, noting it will always feel like home as his mother and sister live there.
🦋 Ohio milkweed pod collection aims to save monarch butterflies. Union Soil and Water Conservation District is accepting milkweed pods as part of a statewide habitat restoration initiative. The collected seeds will help rebuild critical habitats for monarchs, whose eastern population has declined by 80% over two decades. Milkweed serves as the only host plant where monarchs lay eggs and where caterpillars develop. Residents can drop off dry, brown pods during office hours or after hours in a designated collection bin.
🍕 Westerville welcomes Red Bank Pizza to former Antonio's location. The new pizzeria is taking over the 7001 Sunbury Rd. storefront where Antonio's Pizzeria operated until closing this summer. While an opening date hasn't been announced, signage indicates it's "coming soon." Despite sharing a name with nearby businesses like Red Bank Barbershop and Red Bank Food & Beverage and Bait, it's unclear if they share ownership. Meanwhile, Antonio's owner Rita Pavuk clarified she didn't sell her recipes and plans to reopen inside Westerville Campfire Brewing.
