    Dan the Baker Opening Artisan Toast Bar

    The most famous breadmaker in Columbus is known by many on a first name basis, and now Dan the Baker wants to familiarize you with the concept of artisan toast. According to NPR, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker and other national media outlets, artisan toast is one of the biggest food trends of 2014, but until now it hasn’t existed in Central Ohio.

    “We first spotted the trend in San Francisco and Southern California, and then noticed it migrate to Chicago,” said Dan Riesenberger, owner of Dan the Baker. “I believe we are Columbus’ first toast bar.”

    While some of the aforementioned media outlets report negative feedback about the trend, Riesenberger says that the idea has been warmly received locally in anticipation of the upcoming launch at their bakery storefront in the Grandview Commerce Center, which opened last year.

    “People are intrigued and we’ve had many regular customers express happiness that they’ll finally be able to get our bread fresh nearly every day,” he adds. “Columbus is turning into a proper big city, and we are really excited to be a part of this evolution and to bring our unique offering to the local food scene.”

    The accurately named “Toast Bar” will feature a rotating menu of fresh-made breads, as well as a “choose your own toast flight” that mixes and matches breads and spreads. Non-toast items on the menu include coffee from Brioso and One Line, fresh pastries and whole loaves of bread sold at retail.

    Toast Bar will launch on November 7th, and be open Wednesday through Sunday from 8am to 4pm at 1028 Ridge Street, just south of Grandview Heights.
