columbuschefs.com Hills Market... Carlos Blowers, Featured Chef Jennifer Burroway, Featured Chef The Hills Market has become a destination food experience for residents in three central Ohio counties. Not because there is just one Hills, but for the many offerings that go far beyond the ordinary supermarket. At Hills shoppers attend cooking classes, floral classes, wine and champagne tastings in one of the city’s finest wine stores. Then there is summer. The Hills Market Memorial Day salmon roast has become a community social affair. Attendees at the 2005 Home & Garden Show will be treated to gourmet fare that has made Hills the ultimate fine foods destination. The late owner, Roy Kerscher, decided in 1993 to give Columbus a taste of true gourmet foods in the prepared form. His reasoning was that his deli cases would showcase all the foods, ready to serve, for patrons with little time to cook. It is the variety that brought in the regulars. Over the years the market has put emphasis on showcase deli foods with a cadre of cooks and chefs working in full view of the customers. Today, the proprietor, Nancy Kerscher, keeps to the theme of a pleasant neighborhood grocery. Her crews provide food expertise and service seldom found in chain markets. Pause in the Hills deli aisles and savor the thoughts of such offerings as special order Kobe beef and fresh truffles. Daily changing offerings appear such as meat loaf, twice baked potatoes, crab cakes. Two featured chefs on the Gourmet Galaxy Cafe stage are Jennifer Burroway, who heads the Hills Own Catering Shoppe, and Carlos Blowers who is noted for his prep of a patron favorite - beef tenderloin stuffed with shallots and mushrooms.
