Mobile Food Cooking Class(es) at Hills Market: A Trio of Trucks

10 Jan

The Hills Market has been a great supporter of Mobile Food in Columbus. Last year, they hosted a very well attended Mobile Foodie Fair. This year, they are starting out strong by offering not one, but two mobile food cooking classes. This serves two purposes. It breaks up the “meh” of winter with a new twist on cooking in the kitchen. The second purpose is to promote trucks in the off-season when they could use some (good not freezing) exposure and maybe a bit of catering revenue. Cure your curiousity about Mobile Cuisine and come to the Hills Market to meet, greet and eat with the guys behind the truck window or cart. Please sign up soon to help keep mobile food going in the wintertime.

Reservations required by January 15th. Call 614.846.3220

You may  have already seen the Kolache Republic at farmers markets, street food events or festivals but now they have their own cart and are hitting the streets of Columbus. If you haven’t, you might be wondering what a kolache is – or how to pronounce it (koh-lah-chee). A kolache is a Czech pastry made of slightly sweet dough baked with a wide variety of fruit, nut, sweet cheese and meat fillings. They are popular in areas with large Czech populations such as Texas.

Kolache Republic is a joint venture between three guys, Rick, Doug and Dusty, who were craving kolaches and couldn’t find them in Columbus. Unfulfilled food cravings seems a common food business initiator. Kolache Republic now make over 30 varieties of sweet and savory kolache to order and as well as serving them on the cart you can find them at the Celebrate Local pop up store at Easton.

Here was today’s menu:

My favorite are the sausage, pepper jack and jalapeno kolaches, so of course that’s what I had today. A doughy cheesy bundle with mild juicy sausage and some warmth from the jalapeno. It’s a great cold weather snack.

Kolache Republic will be on Broad Street (just east of Third) again tomorrow  from 11am-2pm, so if you are walking around downtown stop by, say hi and try a kolache.
