        Sorry, I had to say it...and I've been through this once
        before.

        Dayton has a plethora of dark and smelly old-fashioned
        bust your-gut kinda eaterys:  you know, iceberg salads
        or coleslaw from Sysco, lots of meat and potatoes. 

        The Pine Club wins hands down for meat eaters who can take
        this kind of stuff:  the meat (purportedly) is excellent, 
        and supposedly the scallops are not bad either.  Go there
        if you must!

        However, for the more adventurous there is:

        PQ International.  A 4 on decor, but some of the best
                ethnic/veggie food around (Spanish leanings,
                that means Paella night on Thursdays and things
                like Colombian/Caribbean/Yucatan on others).

        The Winds.  In Yellow Springs, radical center of the whole
                damn state of Ohio (home to Antioch U. and the
                local Green party!).  The Winds serves fresh food,
                simply and exquisitely prepared.  Things like
                black bean soup, Jerk chicken, Tuscan tuna (grilled
                with fennel), etc.  There are only 4 or 5 choices 
                on the menu each month - but a decent sampling 
                always - as well as a standard house omelette.

        Truffles.  In Cross Point Center (Mall) and/or Books&Co
                (well, you have to visit Books & Company, anyway!)
                California style cafeteria.  Excellent.  Also serving
                fresh, homemade food.

        Little Saigon.  On Woodman - not a long drive from NCR, really.
                Real Vietnamese.

        And, though I haven't been there, a Chinese friend tells me
        that Happy Palace, also on Woodman, I think, is excellent
        for Chinese--- though for $3.00 you can cruise down Far Hills/
        Main St/State Rte. 48 to Centerville and get a whole meal
        -appetizers, soup, entree, rice, tea, cookie-at lunch at the
        Hunan Gourmet.  And you'll take some home!  (Great, even in
        a hotel, for a midnight snack.)

        Elizabeth.

        You may look me up at WHQ when you get here, if you want.
