Does anyone have an update on the opening of Knead in the Hampton Inn? This was written up last fall in CU as "opening in February," but I stopped by about three weeks ago and the space did not look even close to being finished, let alone ready to open.

Just got word from Krista that they're shooting for a late-April opening.
The original details about the new place can be found here:

We don't really have that much to do. Just waiting on inspections from the city. So keep those positive thoughts coming our way and hopefully, fingers crossed, we will be open in time to utilize some fresh ramps & asparagus!

Just waiting on inspections from the city.Are you waiting for food service licenses from the health department or building inspections from building services division, or both? Are they responding timely or are the inspections delayed in a way that interferes with you opening?

ROY-Utimately, the reason things are taking longer is because we are trying to save some $$ and doing as much work as we can ourselves. I can't complain (and never would in a public forum, especially before we receive the approvals;) about the timeliness of the inspections. But if all goes as planned, we will have all of our rough in inspections by the end of the week so we can close everything up and finsh out all the cosmetics and seek all of the final inspections by the end of the month. We are going to start hiring/training next week so if anyone is interested, stop by the spot or PM us!
OSULEW- We would love to do a sneek menu peek on CU if Walker doesn't mind. Since the menu is going to be so seasonally driven, it really depends on what's available when we open. I have been lucky enough to be Rick's guinea pig (the emphasis on PIG!) and these are a few of my favorites: the Slop V Joe was so good it made me want to punch someone. I'm a big meat eater but it had such a good texture (shiitake mushrooms, walnuts and pickles) and flavor that I barely could tell it was vegan. I told him he should run it over pasta like bolognese sauce! Angelo, the brewer from Barley's gave us some spent hops that Josh is using to make beer bread for our version of a cuban sandwich called the Cuban-OH with braised pork, crispy pork belly, jalepeno aioli, Ohio baby swiss, housemade pickles and slaw. I heard Rick and Bill talking about utilizing some local goat, making beer braised goat tamales with a red chile mole sauce. We have a rotating pie case for the bakery part which we will fill with all kinds of yummy interpretations of classics like a ginger "Twinkie" filled with lemon cream. We just have to come up with a name so we don't violate any licensing infringements! I'll see if we can post a link with more menu items.

Tenzo- we eventually want to have on-line ordering with delivery to businesses in a limited radius. But we need to open and dip our toes in the water before we do a full on cannonball in the deep end, you know? Baby steps to delivery.

Most likely, either a brewery or my kitchen.
