COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- A Grandview Heights restaurant, bar and distillery is appearing on "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives," the Food Network show hosted by Columbus-born celebrity chef Guy Fieri.
High Bank Distillery Co. will be the latest Columbus eatery to show up on the small screen, with an episode airing at 9 p.m. Friday. Adam Hines, High Bank's cofounder and master distiller, was appreciative for the opportunity.
"When we started this, we never thought that this was going to be something that we could be on," Hines said. "That's not why you do it, but it's really nice to get some recognition every once in a while."
Operating as a full-service restaurant, hospitality group and distillery, High Bank has three spots across central Ohio, with other locations in Gahanna and Westerville. The menu offers a variety of drinks, featuring cocktails, spirits and its award-winning whiskey.
As for food, it has a wide-ranging menu of shareables, sandwiches, pizza and more. Menu items that Fieri taste-tested included the spicy chicken sandwich, barbacoa nachos, hot honey chicken and biscuits, brussels sprouts and wings.
The Grandview Heights storefront at 1051 Goodale Blvd. -- High Bank's largest location -- will be the spot making an appearance in the Friday episode. It comes equipped with 25,000 square feet of production space for its distillery.
All three High Bank locations will be hosting watch parties. Happy hour will be extended, lasting from 3 to 9 p.m. instead of the usual cutoff of 6 p.m.
Recently, Tommy's Diner in Franklinton was also featured on Fieri's long-running program. Soon, Joya's in Worthington will appear on the show as well.
