Columbus has seen a proliferation of meals halls in recent times (you may examine all of them in my information to Columbus meals halls), and in April Columbus Meals Adventures launches a brand new approach to expertise them, of their Columbus Meals Corridor Tour.
I bought to trip alongside on a prototype model of the tour final month. Whereas the precise dishes and particulars might shift a bit, right here’s a have a look at a few of the enjoyable you may anticipate!
Cease #1: Budd Dairy Meals Corridor
Our first cease was Budd Dairy in Italian Village. The dairy opened a pair years in the past after being properly restored by Cameron Mitchell Eating places.
We have been met by basic supervisor Jeremy Hughes, who walked us by way of the constructing and shared its historical past.
We bought to sip on their signature lemon shake-up to begin.
After which tried two samples! The primary was a pair of lumpia from Boni Filipino Avenue Meals, a companion to the wonderful Bonifacio in Grandview.
Our second style, and one in all my favorites of the evening, was the steak tacos from Tacos Rudos.
The advantage of these excursions is getting to fulfill a few of the house owners and study the backstory of all these small companies. It makes you respect them extra and desirous to return!
Cease #2: East Market
It’s been a pair months since I’ve been to the East Market, so I used to be excited that we visited on the tour.
Once more, we strolled the market and realized about its historical past – each as an historic trolley barn and as a contemporary meals corridor.
A few us snagged drinks on the Railhouse bar earlier than heading upstairs to take pleasure in samples. We bought a mini smorgasbord from the brand new Fran’s Meat + Three.
We realized easy methods to correctly unwrap onigiri from Koso.
And completed off with mini cheesecakes from the Bearded Baker.
It’s at all times enjoyable to wander the East Market and respect the renovations on the house. The constructing was in fairly tough form earlier than it was transformed.
Cease #3: Little Grand Market
Our remaining cease introduced us again to the preliminary assembly level of the tour, the Little Grand Market in Grandview. It’s the latest of the meals halls on the tour, and an incredible place to complete.
We tasted some glorious focaccia sandwiches from Frascati Market.
And to not be outdone have been the Cuban sandwiches from Pablo’s Havana Cafe.
I feel the Meals Corridor Tour is a superb addition to the already-stellar Columbus Meals Adventures roster! Even in the event you’ve been to the markets earlier than, you’ll discover a lot to study and new dishes to strive.
