The Short Course

Kid-friendly: Yes.
To avoid wait: Anytime.
Noise level: Quiet to moderate.
Bathroom: No changing station.
High chairs? Yes.
Got milk? Yes, and a variety of juices and smoothies.
Kids’ menu? Yes.
Allergy Information: Menu is marked for what contains nuts etc. but always alert the staff prior to ordering to have your food prepared separately.

OK, I won’t lie. I was most intrigued by one of Toledo’s newest restaurants solely because it had a curious name. I am willing to bet most of you don’t know Bite Me Twice is a Mediterranean bistro. And it is a very flavorful one at that. If you like Mediterranean food you will enjoy Bite Me Twice. If you have never tried Mediterranean food, then maybe it’s time you do.

Lebanon roots

A recent Saturday afternoon I was out for a late lunch with my older two kids. We were craving Mediterranean and were most curious about Bite Me Twice. You may remember Aladdin’s that was on Talmadge near the mall. Bite Me Twice owner Nick Chamoun owned that Mediterranean franchise for 10 years. And prior to his Toledo franchise, Chamoun lived in Boston where he landed after he emigrated from Lebanon by himself at age 18. Wow. I don’t know a lot of 18-year-olds that would be so adventurous!

After owning Aladdin’s for 10 years Chamoun was anxious to open his own place and prepare his own dishes with his very own recipes. “I cook differently from traditional Lebanese,” he said. You will always see Nick when you stop in, and chances are he’ll be the first to greet you. Chamoun is very hands on at his restaurant. “I do the prep myself to keep everything consistent,” said Chamoun. His mantra is ‘Eat healthy, live well!’ He is very personable and made us feel right at home.

Flavorful, fresh, and lots to choose from

Chamoun believes in feeling good about what you’re eating. Bite Me Twice is all about whole grains, lean proteins, lots of vegetables and, of course, olive oil, a few of his favorite ingredients.

The menu has options ranging from soups to an array of Mediterranean appetizers that you might expect (and some you wouldn’t) to fresh salads and the specialty plates that you know and love, like beef kafta and shish tawook. They offer a wide selection of smoothies and I can’t forget to mention the delectable desserts.

I enjoyed the shish tawook with tahini sauce. The grilled chicken tenders were excellent and were served with brown rice with vermicelli, fried pine nuts and almonds, and a faint taste of cinnamon. They offer a large selection of rolled and lightly toasted pitas, filled with a variety of combinations. My kids enjoyed the Baba Tabouli Garden Rolled Pita and the Hummus Falafel Rolled Pita. At only $5.99 each, I thought they were a great deal. Of course we all shared tabouli and hummus as well, and I let my son splurge with one of their Mango Tango Smoothies.

The other splurge was the delicious peanut butter checkerboard cake and toffee cheesecake. Chamoun’s cousin in Cleveland makes all his desserts and they are worth every single calorie. If you have younger ones in tow who may not be adventurous eaters, they offer a kids’ menu with the usual kid fare such as grilled chicken tenders, grilled cheddar cheese pita or cheese pizza, served with fruit or brown rice. If your little one insists on fries, they offer those too.

Bottom Line:

More than just a curious name, Bite Me Twice is a Mediterranean bistro located in the Bancroft Village strip mall at the corner of Bancroft and Holland-Sylvania— you could easily drive right by and miss it. The food is fresh and flavorful and prepared by owner Nick Chamoun who is passionate about what he makes and serves to his customers. Families will enjoy a wonderful meal in a relaxed atmosphere while feeling right at home. Ahalan Wa Sahlan! “You’re like family.”

Overnight Camps Cook Up Memorable Fun

Wide variety of sleep-away camps for kids.

From whitewater rafting to performing arts and cooking, today’s sleep-away camps appeal to a wide range of interests while still providing the long-term benefits for which summer camp is known.

Benefits of overnight camp: In addition to learning new skills, children learn how to collaborate and live in community while at camp, gaining self-confidence and independence through problem-solving and teamwork.

“All those things are life skills and life assets that every parent wants for their child,” says Jill Tipograph, a camp consultant and author of Your Everything Summer Guide & Planner.

Popular camp activities: According to the American Camp Association, 75% of camp directors reported adding new activities and programs to accommodate trends in popular culture. The top three activities that camps are integrating into their more traditional fare, like campfires, swimming and horseback riding, include performing arts, adventure and more recently, culinary.

“Culinary is the hottest and newest in terms of camps investing in building kitchens and bringing in specialists to teach the kids. The other part that goes along with culinary is the whole, farmed table— taking things from the gardens and cooking them,” Tipograph says.

Traditional vs. specialty: Specialty camps are designed for kids interested in pursuing a specific interest. Traditional camps, on the other hand, offer a combination of programming. Children can try different activities, including those they may not have tried otherwise, whether stained glass design, rock climbing or singing in a recording studio.

“I feel that if children start their camping career on a purely specialty track, [parents] are really missing what camp can do for their child. The advantage traditional camps offer is they are all about the child holistically,” Tipograph says.

A menu of choices: One example of a traditional camp that offers a variety of specialty tracks for campers is Hidden Valley Camp, located in mid-coastal Maine.The camp attracts campers between the ages of 8 and 14, from all over the world.

Camp director Peter Kassen finds that culinary classes are especially attractive to campers, thanks in large part to a great interest in eating well and popular TV shows like Top Chef, Iron Chef and Cupcake Wars.

“This idea of being a foodie has really permeated the culture. Being involved in producing your own food and eating good food has become more central not just with adults but with children as well,” Kassen says.

Through the culinary classes, campers acquire a valuable life skill, learning to prepare quality, healthy meals from specialists in the food industry, and tasting foods from all over the globe.

“Last year, we had a group of 10 Korean campers accompanied by a woman who brought them over. She cooked a Korean meal for the entire camp. It was spectacular,” Kassen says.

But cooking is only one aspect of the camp. Whether they try windsurfing, horseback riding, tennis or anything else, Kassen hopes campers leave camp with a sense of confidence.

“At any good camp, campers get excited about an idea, and they pursue it from beginning to end without an adult telling them they had to do it in the first place,” he says. “That’s why people value time at camp. Children can learn and grow and become themselves away from home and school and all the usual surroundings.”

Considerations for a successful sleep-away experience:

Maturity. Most kids are ready by ages 9 or 10, but consider your child’s physical and emotional maturity first.
Plan ahead. If possible, start researching camps a year ahead of time. Check out websites, talk to friends and family for recommendations and visit prospective camps. Many overnight camps offer family weekends in the fall.
Length of camp. For how long do you want your child away at camp? Camps offer both short and long-term sessions.
Size of camp. Decide whether your child would do better in a large setting or a smaller gathering.
Gender. Choose from a single-sex or a co-ed camp. Not sure which? Consider whether a younger sibling may eventually join your older child at camp.
Location. Determine the types of activities you want your child to experience. Because of their geographical location, some camps offer better outdoor or adventure activities than others and may be more likely to have access to experienced adventure specialists.
Meet the director. A meeting with the director is imperative in order to get a sense of his or her personality, trustworthiness and compatibility. “You need to see how they’re interacting with your child,” Tipograph says. “They set the tone and the philosophy for the camp and it trickles down. How they relate to you and your child is the same way they train their staff to do the same.”
