Earlier today, The Silos, a forthcoming food hall coming to 800 E 1st St, in Dayton, took to social media to announce its first vendor will be a noodle concept from a prominent figure in Dayton’s food scene, Chef Dane Shipp. Nood Bar will be Shipp’s second concept and it will offer authentic Asian-inspired hot and cold noodles, bao buns and dumplings.
Earlier this year What Now Columbus shared the news about The Silos, which is a project being brought to the Dayton community by Wes Hartshorn and Shannon Thomas. The Silos will feature four food vendors and a bar, all of which are housed inside shipping containers.
With his current concept Culture, Shipp’s focus is on creating unique, flavorful combinations such as red snapper served over pasta with a poblano verde sauce, topped with cherry tomatoes, manchego cheese and micro cilantro. It’s not clear whether the Nood Bar menu will feature dishes that incorporate diverse flavor pairings, or if the ingredients will be those that are typically found in Asian noodle dishes. However, last year in a phone conversation with What Now Columbus, Shipp shared that he likes to keep his focus on continually cooking something different for his customers, and that focus may well continue with his second concept.
What Now Columbus reached out to Shipp for comment on the Nood Bar menu, but a request for comment was not immediately available.
For anyone hoping to sample the flavors of the Nood Bar menu, the good news is you won’t have to wait until fall to get a taste. Shipp is hosting a pop-up event at Joui wine bar on Monday, July 29, as well as pop-ups at Culture. Follow Nood Bar on Instagram to stay up to date on all the latest details.
