Friday Food Bites: Yellow Springs Brewery replacing The Crest, Delaney’s opens in Grandview

There’s always a lot happening in the Columbus restaurant world! Here’s the latest:

• The big news this week, reported by multiple outlets, is that Yellow Springs Brewery announced it will replace The Crest in Clintonville. Yellow Springs’ primary taproom and production brewery sits in downtown Yellow Springs. (Get a look at their taproom in A Trek Out to Yellow Springs.) They’ll transition the space sometime in October, according to reports, as The Crest winds down its decade-long run.
• Delaney’s Diner is set to open its third location in the former Marshall’s Restaurant space in Grandview on Tuesday, Aug. 15 (1105 W. First Ave.). Marshall’s closed in July 2022. Delaney’s has three locations already, in Westerville, Reynoldsburg, and Groveport.

• The latest Sunday Funday in Old Worthington is this Sunday, Aug. 13 from 12-5 p.m. This month’s theme is A Tribute to Fair Food, so it features corn dogs, funnel cake, kettle corn, and other fried goodies, alongside family activities, entertainment, specials from neighborhood restaurants.
