May’s Dish is serving up Saxon’s own Jake Meyer’s favorite foods.
Outside of the office, Jake enjoys spending time with friends and family. An avid sports fan, he enjoys attending sporting events as often as possible, which makes sense that his favorite dish at home is gameday ready. His quick, easy and delicious chili is ready in 30 minutes and is the perfect dish to bring to the get-together. It’s simple, enough to share and always a crowd favorite.

When Jake is enjoying a night out he loves to try fun new restaurants and bars, but his favorite spot is Terry’s Turf Club feature’s the best burgers in Cincinnati and perhaps the world, according to Jake. Their wide variety of toppings (you can top your burger with crab cake or lobster meat if you choose) sets Terry’s apart and allows you to get creative with your burger.
It’s a small, hole-in-the-wall kind of place so expect a wait on a Friday or Saturday night. Grab a craft beer from the bar while you wait, because I promise the burger is worth it!
