at venues around town.

ood pop-ups have long been
a staple of any thriving food
community and are a winwin
for both business owners
and diners. Chefs can test
new concepts or menu items
with lower overhead and
investment, while giving diners an exciting
and diverse array of dishes to try. Thanks
to Roanoke's latest crop of food entrepreneurs,
a meal out could mean pairing a
Bavarian-style pretzel with a craft beer at
a local brewery, feasting on French crêpes
on your lunch break or adding Mexicanstyle
street corn to your cravings hit list.
FOUNDER: Amia Makins
CONCEPT: Creative riffs on comfort food
classics with bold flavor befitting the brand's
namesake.
FUN FACT: Makins is a culinary student
at Virginia Western Community College
where she's honing her cooking chops and
supporting her someday-restaurant dream.
A DELICIOUS MOUTHFUL: The loaded baked
potato comes topped with sour cream, mac
'n' cheese, and steak, peppers and onions;
compose each forkful with a bit of everything
to ensure flavor fireworks.
CURRENTLY IN R&D: Look for fan-favorites
like chicken tacos, egg rolls and fajita pizzas
to get a glow-up with new spices profiles,
and for new additions such as nacho cheese
fries and crispy chicken sandwiches in flavors
like sweet chili or buffalo chicken.
WHERE TO FIND: Every Tuesday at Food
Hut starting mid-March. Follow @mias_
bigmouth on IG for menu updates and
details on private cheffing and special events.
january/february 2024
FOUNDER: Julia Rigney
CONCEPT: Creative spins on elote (Mexicanstyle
grilled corn on the cob) that marry
Rigney's Mexican heritage and Southern
sensibilities.
FUN FACT: Menu items are named in
Spanish after words of empowerment for
women, like the spicy Chingona, which
means " badass woman " and aptly features
crushed flaming hot Cheetos and hot sauce.
MOST POPULAR: La Jefa is a traditional
spin on elote, in which grilled corn is rolled
in Duke's mayo and cotija cheese then
anointed with Tajín mild sauce and Tajín
lime chili seasoning.
DON'T MISS: Chica Loca(l) is the ultimate
homegrown collaboration, featuring
a custom spice blend from Spice Titan
Seasonings and a special blend from
Fermented Fire Hot Sauce Co.
