I wish people could actually read and answer the question asked.
Columbus and Dayton are not KNOWN for any food in particular. Each city may have special restaurants or traditions, but neither is famous for a particular food or dish. Columbus is the home of the headquarters for Wendy's, but the city is not known for hamburgers.
You are correct about Cincy being known for it's chili (correct spelling).

Cincinnati does have great Chili, also Cincinnati style ribs and Graeters ice cream (Oprah's favorite). Cincinnati also has a pretty rich beer brewing history, although there arent many of the original beers left (Sam Adams and Barrel House beers may be the only breweries left in Cincinnati I think- a few of the old Cinci beers have been revived like Hudepohl, but I think its being brewed in Pittsburgh). Columbus is pretty much your standard fare- they are a chain restaurant mecca. All the chains want to try out their ideas in Columbus, since they are supposedly representative of a wide swath of the US. Dayton is not known for anything in particular, although the Pine Club is there, which a number of Presidents have eaten at, and which has some of the best steak you'll find. Cincinnati definitely has the most "original" stuff that you';re going to find in the area.

Why do not you only flow to Columbus, it truly is lots marvelous than Dayton and is largely an hour away? There are a lot of cool places in Columbus, yet in Dayton, you're going to could flow out to the suburbs to get something reliable -- The Pine club, Milano's and Dominic's excluded. Oh yeah, between Columbus and Dayton, you are able to head to the Jeffersonville Outlet shops for procuring, regardless of the truth that the food isn't that giant.

Columbus is known as one of the best test markets for new restaurant concepts. A lot of the larger full service restaurant chains had some of their first stores in Columbus and Indianapolis. However, when it comes to originality, I'm afraid there is no specific food for either. Cincinnati does have the chili and also the "Rib King." If you're going to Columbus I would suggest trying one of the new restaurant concepts with which you are not familiar. When it comes to your town, you'll be a wealth of information.

The first Wendy's was in Columbus - but I think it has just recently closed. Other than that - I do not believe Columbus is known for any type of food. Don't know about Dayton. :)

Dayton has the Air Force meursem. Columbus has one of t he top ranked zoos (run by Jack Hanna). Columbus also has Ohio's only NHL team. Nationwide and The Limited have the headquarters here. Probably the biggest thing that Columbus is known for is the OSU Buckeyes. If you are just talking about food though.....nothing really.

Columbus has quite a few Skyline Chili restaurants - they put tasteless chili on top of spaghetti then pile a whole load of grated cheese on top - I ate it once and thought it a pretty strange dish
ps You can see from the link that there are locations in Dayton and Columbus
