I don't think I was bashing - I didn't mean to if I came off that way. I just want to know more about what's going in.

I don't know why these guys would ever pay franchise fees, but I have a feeling it's probably similar. I would hope they wouldn't call the place Piada and not serve them :)
And LtW, yes, people who are even remotely aware of food trends (I'm by no means a foodie, but even I know this is an exploding concept) know that street food can be just as viable in brick and mortar than on wheels. Those that don't will soon enough.

did anyone around here question the use of "street food" when Dragonfly opened On the Fly? I really don't remember, but don't care enough to look through the archives.Yes, I have seen On the Fly use "street food", and it's still on their site Craving good cheap eats? Come to ON THE FLY Dragonfly's popular street food spot, for a quick lunch or dinner to go or cop a gobble in one of our recycled chairs.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to object to "cop a gobble."
Hop on over to Clever Crow Pizza and cop a gobble of our delicious Crow pizza. Any better? :]

Shocking - people on CU are bashing something from the suburbs. If this place was downtown you would think it was the greatest concept ever created.I don't have a problem with suburbs. I have a problem with a place claiming to be something it's not. "Street food" means something different than what this place will be.
Piadas are one of the original street foods, long before what most of us call street food now. And yes, this restaurant will be serving them.

I am so ready to cop a gobble.
+1 Somer - street food can just as easily be brick and mortar.Posted 1 year ago # -

Finally, Columbus gets a lettuce-and-spaghetti burrito vendor. The drips on the paper suggest a sort of orange grease being involved, which is also upping the ante for me.

I was in the area so I did a drive by yesterday. The location is 1315 W Lane Ave (between Kenny Road and North Star). The windows were papered up but a quick peek shows the place is close to opening.
I did see a partial menu - salmon was listed...hmm.

Drove by tonight and saw the papered windows were down and the lights were on and it looks very close to opening. There's now a big sign in the front that says "Now Hiring".

I stopped in last night and happened to chat with Chef Mike Bomberger, formerly of BDI (Bravo/ Brio) and Lindey's. He told me a little bit about the concept and development... much of it was already covered in the aforementioned Columbus Business First article (again, found HERE).
The place is clean and quite beautiful - think of a slightly higher-end version of Chipotle, but with Italian food. It's a concept they have been working on for an amazing 2 1/2 years, so it's no joke.
Chef Mike did say that while they officially open on Wednesday, they should be open today and tomorrow for test runs. He didn't specify what hours but I would assume this means lunch and dinner. I will try to run over there this afternoon and will report back my findings.
Oh, and now that foursquare is my new obsession, I added them as a venue. Feel free to check in and encourage them to offer a special for foursquare users. :)
