Dorothy Lane Market Now Delivers

May 25, 2017 By Dayton Most Metro

As more national grocery chains with locations based in Dayton, Ohio, unveil a delivery service as a part of their online grocery shopping experiences, locally owned and operated Dorothy Lane Market delivers, literally, adding delivery as an option to DLM Drive-Up earlier this month.

In February, the Dayton-based specialty grocery store announced DLM Drive-up, a revamp of its existing online grocery shopping service featuring a rebrand, new convenient location with a storefront for curbside pick-up, and enhanced website. “Earlier this year, our goal was to improve the overall experience of our online grocery shopping service. Now, we’re ready to move forward by enhancing the convenience factor even more,” says Patrick Arnold, DLM’s IT Director who oversees this segment of the business.
Delivery of groceries ordered via www.DLMDriveUp.com will be available to the neighborhoods surrounding the three DLM locations to the following zip codes: 45066, 45409, 45419, 45429, 45440, 45458, and 45459. “Right now, we want to focus on the areas nearby our stores and then expand from there,” says Sarah Linville, DLM Drive-Up manager. “With the success of our curbside pick-up, we think this is just an additional way DLM Drive-Up can make people’s lives easier, whether they are crunched for time or are unable to get out of the house for whatever reason.”

All grocery orders placed via www.DLMDriveUp.com will be shopped from the DLM Washington Square location for both the curbside and delivery options. Although curbside pick-up is offered seven days a week, delivery will be available Monday through Friday between the hours of 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. There is a $5.99 Shoppers Fee applied to every order placed via www.DLMDriveUp.com. For delivery, an additional $9.99 will be applied.

DLM hosts Eat Healthy Tours

March 24, 2017 By Dayton Most Metro

Are you ready to start eating healthier, but just don’t know where or how to begin? We see it every day in action—shoppers walking through the store with their cell phone in hand trying to make sense of healthy eating resources. With the often confusing information given on calories, fat, and sugar, it can be mind-numbing.

That’s why Lori Kelch, a nutrition and wellness educator with more than 20 years of experience, will be teaming up with DLM to give free group Eat Healthy Tours once a month at each DLM location. Lori’s perspective is not that of a physician and should never be seen as something to replace those professional recommendations. But she can help you make sense of your nutrition goals, whatever they may be, by walking you through how to better understand labels and how to identify the right foods throughout the store that align with your goals. She’ll open your eyes to a new way of thinking about shopping so that you can put your plans into action.

April Tours:

DLM Springboro • Saturday, April 1 • 10-11 a.m.

DLM Oakwood • Saturday, April 22 • 10-11 a.m.

DLM Washington Square • Saturday, April 29 • 10-11 a.m.

You can sign up for a tour by using this online form.

Killer Brownie in Munch Madness Final Four- Needs Your Vote!

March 31, 2016 By Dayton Most Metro

For the second year in a row, Dorothy Lane Market’s Killer Brownie® has secured a spot in the final four in a national food bracket, demonstrating that it’s a chocolatey, caramel-infused force to be reckoned with.
Goldbely hosts Munch Madness (#MunchMadness), which pits regional food favorites from across the country against one another. The contenders range from Chicago’s famed Vienna Beef Hot Dog and Brooklyn’s unforgettable Momofuku Milk Bar to Dayton’s treasured Killer Brownie®. Voting opened to the public and started on March 16 with 64 competitors. Now, it’s down to the final four, including the Killer Brownie®. “Being recognized as a member of the final four is such an honor because we’re up against some of America’s favorite restaurants and bakeries. It gives voters a chance to decide who is truly the best of the best,” says Sarah Linville, shopDLM.com manager.

Linville and her team oversee the division of Dorothy Lane Market that ships DLM favorites to all 50 states, and the Killer Brownie® is a top-seller. “We get so many calls from customers all across America that say the Killer Brownie® reminds them of a place that so many have called home. Plus, all the layers of chocolate and caramel definitely seem to make it a favorite,” Linville says.
To add to the Killer Brownie® excitement, Dorothy Lane Market will be offering a special promotion on the Killer Brownie® in stores: If someone votes for the Killer Brownie® online they just have to walk up to the Bakery counter at any of the three Dorothy Lane Market stores and tell an associate that they voted. They’ll then get a coupon for $1 off any Killer Brownie® flavor (yes, there are multiple flavors).
Voting is conducted at https://www.goldbely.com/munch-madness

Dayton Made Hot Sauce, Returns Feb 1

January 26, 2016 By The Food Adventures Crew Leave a Comment

Chef House’s Sriracha is back & we love her Thai Chile earrings

The hot sauce that took the Dayton area by storm, HouseMade Sriracha is coming back…

And HouseMade Sauces has given Food Adventures exclusive scoop on this one. Maybe because we are cool, or maybe because our own Chef House is the owner and proprietor of the fiercely popular “HouseMade Sriracha Sauce.” At any rate you can call us the “Pepper-azzi” for this one, because we have the insight on how Thai Chile peppers have affected this Miami Valley favorite sauce.

HERE’S THE SKINNY:

— HouseMade Sriracha has sold out in stores all over the state, and due to a shortage of imported Thai Chile Peppers, HouseMade has been unable to refill the demand for the sauce for months.

— In the meantime, they developed a Peachy Sriracha using habeneros and a Green Sriracha, using Serrano peppers. While these sauces gained cult followings, people have still yearned for that flagship sauce, the red sauce, the original “HouseMade Sriracha.”

New Logo – Same Great Locally Made Sriracha !

— Why the pepper shortage? The Mediterranean fly! Yes, an insect caused an import restriction meaning no produce from the Dominican Republic was allowed shipped to the USA. This was the first time since 1989 that the United States has banned produce from that country. The last ban lasted 18 months. This fly attacks our citrus crops. It is divesting here.

But no fear hot sauce addicts.. your cravings will soon be answered, and this sauce will be flying off the shelves !

WHERE YOU CAN FIND HOUSEMADE SRIRACHA STARTING FEB 1st:

SPICE PARADISE: Dayton, Ohio

THE SPICE RACK: Dayton, Ohio

GHOSTLIGHT COFFEE: Dayton, Ohio

KEENER BUTCHER BLOCK: Dayton, Ohio

KROGER FRESH FARE: Stroop Rd in Kettering

ARROW WINE: Oakwood and Centerville locations

HEART MERCANTILE: Dayton, Ohio

TROY BULK and BARN DELI: in Troy, Ohio

Chef House is brewing up Thai Chile’s for Feb 1st !

WHATS IN THE FUTURE FOR HOUSEMADE SAUCES?

— Owners Chef LeeAnne House and Jason Kramer are now licensed from the FDA to bottle themselves and will longer have to go to a bottler. They will oversee the batches and ensure that flavor and consistency you love, will be in every drop. This is the closest thing to LeeAnne’s “home brew” that you will be able to get.

— CARROT MANGO HABANERO will be the next sauce to hit the shelves sometime in 2016. We cant wait to try this Food Adventure in a bottle.

— Continue to find HouseMade Sauces all over Ohio. They are at various locations in Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, and of course Dayton.

— Look for continued national growth. HouseMade is currently available in retail spots in Indiana, Kentucky and Georgia.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

HouseMade has won some regional and national Hot Sauce Competition Awards:

2014– WINNER of the specialty chili category at the Cajun Hot Sauce Festival in Louisiana.

2014 – 1^st Place – Small Business Accelerator Contest in Columbus, Ohio

2015 – GRAND CHAMPION of the Cajun Hot Sauce Fest, in Louisiana for their Hot Honey

2015 – 1^st Place Jungle – Jim’s Weekend of Fire, Specialty Chili Category for their Hot Honey

We cant wait to start pouring Sriracha on our eggs, wings, sandwiches, soups, chicken, seafood, vegetable and everywhere else we find a need. If you have not gotten your hand on this sauce yet, you are missing a great taste of Dayton ingenuity.

We hold up a bottle of HouseMade Sriracha and toast you all: “May it heat up your nights, and heat up your days, and tickle your taste buds in many ways. Hold up your bottles and lets take a tally, here’s to the best hot sauce in the Miami Valley!
