| *** Mikey’s Late Night Slice to open in former Local Cantina spot Credit: Contributed Photo Speaking of pizza, Mikey’s Late Night Slice is opening its first location in the Dayton region. The restaurant will be located at 503 E. First St., near Day Air Ballpark, in the former space of Local Cantina. The Mexican restaurant closed its doors in March. “Our raving fans have been requesting a Dayton location for as long as we can remember, and when the opportunity to move into the space across from Day Air Ballpark in the growing entertainment district presented itself, we knew the time was right,” said marketing manager Katie McDermid. Construction on the Dayton location is expected to kick off soon with a grand opening planned for late 2025.

They have since restocked. The 34 oz. coffee bucket features an iced latte with four shots of espresso. Customers can choose the flavors and the milk used. Non-dairy options are available. It costs $9.85. Credit: Natalie Jones Other new items that have recently launched include latte popsicles and ice cream sundae flights.

BW3s co-founder judges local chicken wing competition Credit: Natalie Jones Scott Lowery founded Buffalo Wild Wings & Weck, now known as Buffalo Wild Wings, on Woodruff Avenue near Ohio State University in September 1982 with his brother, Jim Disbrow. On July 12, he was at Fraze Pavilion in Kettering to judge the Kickin’ Chicken Wing Fest. “I know there’s going to be creativity here,” Lowery said. “The wing has developed from just being medium hot — the red cayenne type sauce — to now all sorts of flavors. The sky’s the limit as far as I can see on the creativity to come over the years." When asked what makes a good wing, Lowery said, “Size matters. I don’t like a large wing. To me, the perfect size of a wing is about 10 wings per pound.” From there, it’s all about the sauce. CLICK HERE for a list of winners from the 2025 Kickin’ Chicken Wing Fest.
