Leiland and Melanie Woods originally opened Ella Mae’s Broaster Hut as a food truck in 2023. In February of 2025 they opened Consumer Square in Trotwood. They’ve become well known for their broasted chicken, fish and pork chops with sides of fresh-cut potato wedges, green beans, fried cabbage, bourbon baked beans, and macaroni and cheese. Broasted chicken uses the trademarked Broaster Pressure Fryer that combines deep frying with pressure cooking to create a crispy outside and a very juicy inside.

A business that creates charcuterie boards is all about turning food into art — blending creativity, flavor, and presentation into edible experiences.

Taco Street Co. founder Anthony Thomas has announced he’ll be closing down his place at the W. Social Tap & Table after 3 years of doing business there.
Taco Street started as a food truck on 2018, had a spot in the food court at Fairfield Commons in , which he shut down to open up in the food hall in 2022. This Saturday will be the last day to enjoy tacos, nachos, quesadilla’s and birria ramen at the food hall.
But Thomas isn’t done with business in Wright Dunbar, yet. His next project XO Burger: Vibez + Cocktails is under construction across the street at 1171 W 3rd St, just across the street and down the block. Thomas says, “it’s two businesses in one…. a creative burger concept upstairs and a speakeasy lounge downstairs that will bring a whole new energy and experience to the city. If you know me, you know I’m all about creating spaces that have a vibe… places that feel good, look good, and make people want to stay a little longer. XO Burger will be no different.”
