Jackson Center, OH, USA

Where other areas of the United States can manage true farm-to-table cuisine year-round because of long growing seasons, Ohio's northern latitude means extended stretches of cold weather that limit access to the freshest ingredients. That doesn't mean Ohio is limited with food options, though. From carnivores to vegans and everyone in between, west central Ohio offers a bevy of culinary options sure to whet your appetite.

Sometimes you just want a great sandwich and fries. Or onion rings. Or a buffalo chicken pizza.

From wings to pizza to their namesake sandwiches (two hands required), Submarine House won't disappoint.
