Food Truck Spotlight: El Caporal

By

Mark and Kelly Adams entry into the food truck world is quite interesting.  They had become friends with the owners of the previous Las Piramides restaurant on Wilmington Pike in Dayton; Pedro and Laura Mesa.  They ate there every Friday from the day they opened till the day they closed.  When they moved to Liberty Township due to a job change, they began  went hunting for a new Mexican hangout.  They wandered into El Caporal Restaurant on Tylersville Rd in Mason and saw Laura.  They had no idea they had opened another restaurant and  were ecstatic to see them again, and eat the amazing, authentic Mexican cuisine they had fallen in love with. They tossed around the idea of starting a food truck for years, but in 2020 everything got so crazy they figured they could go crazy, too.  So they bought a truck, had it wrapped by Vivid Wraps in Cincinnati, and fabricated by Street Food Ventures in Monroe and thus El Caporal Food Truck was born. The restaurant provides the food and the cooks, and Kelly and her  husband manage the operational side and work the window.  A true joint venture.

Kelly explained to us  “our food is restaurant quality that you can purchase from a truck.  The food is prepped in the restaurant kitchen by restaurant staff and cooked on the truck by restaurant cooks; all of whom are Mexican and have been cooking for years. Without a doubt their best selling item is tacos.

If you’d like to visit the restaurants, there are two El Caporal locations, one at 6011 Tylersville Rd in Mason and one at 7206 Towne Centre Dr. in  Liberty Township.” 
Kelly also shared that she and Mark are  both in their 50’s with 4 grandchildren; they call her Gigi, and her husband is Papa. We love working with friends and learning something new every day!

Centerville Grille Reopens at Yankee Trace

By

It’s a fresh new look for The Golf Club at Yankee Trace that will greet you as you head into the Centerville golf club  the season.  The entire club got a remodel shares Jennifer Kelleher Wiley, an interior decorator with MODA4 Design.

lobby before

“My vision for the space at Yankee Trace was to create a comfortable, classic and sophisticated environment that can be used for multiple types of events from weddings to business events. We want the space to serve as an elegant backdrop so events can take on their own personality in the space,” Wiley said.

lobby after

“The lighter colors and updated lighting, as well as some new focal points like a bar and dressing up the fireplaces, has added a lot to the space and allowed it to stand out,” she said.

The remodel centered around the lobby, ballroom and restaurant areas. The restrooms, as well, were essentially gutted and redesigned. Now each restroom has a separate lounge area for guests and event hosts, which includes new wooden lockers on the men’s side.

The next phase of the remodel will focus on the patio space behind the clubhouse. Plans call to expand the patio and create tiers of seating and event space. The bar and fireplace will likely be shared indoor-outdoor spaces, and designers are working to make many of the areas functional through the colder months.

The Centerville Grille reopens on Wed, May 12th  and will be open for service Mon – Fri from 11am – 9pm. There is seating indoors in the  dining room or outside on the patio.  You order from the counter, inside, or at the window on the outside.

There Is A New Gyro In Town!

By

Filling the void left when Gyro Palace closed this past January in the Airway Shopping Center, Haytham Dahadha opened Gyro Maximus earlier this week  in the very same spot at 4864 Airway Road.  Haytham says he “opened the restaurant because I love to cook and I enjoy to see people enjoy their food. I have been in the restaurant business for many years. My brother and I had worked for other restaurant’s and  decided to take a leap of faith to open up our own. I have always loved to cook Mediterranean food because it’s a part of my culture and a very healthy menu.” The business is so new, there isn’t a sign outside yet, just a shwarma neon in the window.

Inside it is crisp and clean and got a total makeover.  Enter the business, order at the counter and your meal is made quickly with your choosing the fresh toppings you’d like on your bowl or sandwich.  Haytham wants people to know “that Gyro Max is a place people can come to eat a delicious meal with their friends and family. We also have set-up TV’s to catch the news or watch your favorite sporting events. ”

Quite a heft sandwich for just $6.99.  Fountain drinks are Pepsi products and there was a cooler with a selection of bottled juices. A cooler of desserts sits tempting just to the left of the register. Tables and booths available for dine in.

Foodtruck Spotlight: The Painted Pepper

By

Louie Ortega’s first entrance into the food scene was catering with his grandmother in El Paso, Tx. He washed dishes, bussed tables, served, but hardly ever cooked, as his Grandma was the only one allowed to cook. Eventually he was able to cook and  learned so much about Mexican food and went on to be French trained in culinary school.
He knew he  wanted to start a food truck when he grew weary of the corporate hotel/restaurant world. Since he  grew up with Mexican food he wanted to share his  version of southwest/ Mexican cuisine with the Midwest. He knew he wanted to be independent with food, but not start a brick and mortar restaurant, mobile cuisine was the way to go and test my market.

Painted Pepper’s signature and best selling item for the last 7 years has been their Texas Chicken Quesadilla. It has fresh roasted chicken, Texas caviar (black beans, onion, roasted red bell peppers, cilantro and spices), and cheese, all stuffed in a 12 inch flour tortilla seared and served with house made salsa and sour cream.

He wants his customers to know that they serve homemade fresh southwest cuisine, food from some local farms that is prepped daily. He says, “when people eat our food, I want them to enjoy the delicious flavors, and know they are also supporting a local family.”

Breakfast pockets – flour tortilla stuffed with eggs, chorizo and cheese, then deep fried and served with a side of salsa verde.

While the food truck is still out and about, Louie and his wife Amanda are now also “slingin’ tacos and more with a permanent location in Downtown Springfield, Ohio inside COhatch “The Market.”   Located at 101 S. Fountain  in downtown Springfield, Painted Pepper is one of several food vendors in this dining hall. Others include Crust & Company, North High Brewing, Ironworks Waffle Cafe, Fresh Abilities and The Market Bar.
Their Co-Hatch location is open Monday 8am -1:30pm and Tues- Sat 8am- 8pm and you can even place your order online. The menu includes breakfast burritos, chicken quesadillas, tacos, corncakes, dessert chips and chips, salsa and guacamole.

The Food truck is still out and about and here’s where you can catch them:

Sat, May 8th 9am-5pm
Asphalt Row at Springfield Health and Fitness
202 N Limestone St, Springfield
Sat, May 15 & Sun, May 16 noon 7pm
Columbus Taco Fest at  Ohio History Connection near MAPFRE Stadium

Last Month to Enjoy the All Vegan Cafe 1610

By

 

In a video message posted online today Molly Blackshear made the announcement that Cafe 1610 will be closing down at the end of May.  Well at least for now.

 

The all vegan eatery owned by Molly and her mom Cathy will be open Fri-Sun all month long, offering mainly brunch options and then they will wrap up their business at their current 521 Wayne Ave location.

Chatting with Molly today, she shared that “they are so grateful that Dayton accepted their vegan offerings” and she knows they’ve found their tribe. She says they’ve proved “there is an audience for an all vegan eatery in Dayton.” Now they need to find their permanent home and she expects that to stay in the downtown area. In August of 2020 they opened at Glass Blue Oven as a temporary home, and they started with a four month lease and kept extending it a month at time.

Cathy Mong, Molly’s partner told us, “We’ve had a really good experience in the building and want to thank Chip for the opportunity! It’s now time to find our own space.”  The partnership which  started as three is now down to two and Molly shares that they’re ready to relocate, rebrand and basically start over.  So they’ll spend the summer finding the right spot, and hope to reopen by the end of August or early September.

 

In the meantime you’ve got every Fri – Sun in to May  stop on by and enjoy some of their amazing donuts, muffins, breakfast tacos and other brunch items.  Molly shared they’ll do some of their other menu favorite meals, while supplies last.  Please check their facebook page for hours, which she is thinking will be 11am – 5pm for the rest of the month.

Mint Juleps & Derby Day- A May Tradition

By

It has been the official drink of the Kentucky Derby for almost a century; according to the website of the annual event, nearly 120,000 juleps are sold at Churchill Downs over the two-day race period. Like most recipes that come from the South, mint juleps have a long and often debated history. It is  widely believed that the name of the drink comes from the Persian word gulab and the Arab word julab, both of which translate to rosewater. The term julep was also used to refer to any type of syrupy mixed drink taken with medicine. As early as 1784, mint juleps were prescribed to soothe aching stomachs and help patients who had difficulty swallowing.  Southerners started each day with a mint julep to protect themselves from mosquitoes and malaria. The drink was so delicious, though, that it became a relaxing beverage, in addition to a medicinal one.
To this day, many enthusiasts insist that a proper julep should be made only with bourbon whiskey. Given that Bourbon County is the birthplace of bourbon whiskey, there is also a strong connection between the mint julep and the state of Kentucky. As early as 1816, silver julep cups were offered as prizes at Kentucky county fairs, early evidence of the states association with the famous cocktail. It iss unclear how exactly the mint julep became the star drink of the Kentucky Derby in 1938, but it comes as no surprise that this bourbon-centric cocktail is now celebrated as the beverage of choice at the states most famous event.
Perhaps you’d like to serve some variation on the classic Mint Julep.  Try these:

  • Add more crushed ice.
  • Add champagne.
  • Top the cup with a dome of crushed ice, garnish with a sprig of mint, and serve.

  • In a mixing glass, muddle the mint and simple syrup.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and stir thoroughly, then strain into a julep cup filled with crushed ice.
  • Stir gently until the cup is frosted, then top with more crushed ice and garnish with the fresh mint and candied ginger.

Whiskey Smash Cocktail

2 oz bourbon
0.5 oz simple syrup
Half a lemon, cut into wedges
5 mint leaves
Mint sprig for garnish
  • Muddle the lemon, mint, and simple syrup in the bottom of a cocktail shaker, then fill with ice.
  • Add the bourbon and shake until chilled.
  • Strain into an Old-Fashioned glass filled with crushed ice (or a single large cube).

The Kentucky Derby is the first leg of the American Triple Crown of horse racing. It is historically run on the first Saturday in May. First run in 1875, this 1 1/4 mile—or 10 furlongs—race runs on the dirt track at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, where it has been held since its inaugural running in 1875.

Only 3-year-old Thoroughbreds can qualify for the Kentucky Derby. Eligible horses compete in the Race to the Kentucky Derby, a series of 35 races around the world. Horses win points for finishing in the top four spots, and the 20 horses with the most points at the end of the series gain entry into the Derby.
