According to their website, Local Kitchens is a “micro food hall that lets you mix-and-match your favorite local restaurants in one easy order.” This includes Bay Area staple Oren’s Hummus Shop and all-time Sacramento Favorite Nash and Proper.

Located at 500 1st St (500 1st St, Suite 13a, Davis, CA) next to Burma Eats and Burger Patch, Local Kitchens brings restaurants such as Oren’s Hummus Shop to Davis, California. Hummus is a delicious and healthy dip that has been enjoyed for centuries in the Middle East. Made from mashed chickpeas, tahini (sesame seed paste), lemon juice, and garlic, it is a versatile and nutritious food that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Oren’s has been a popular Bay Area restaurant for quite some time and now Davis, Woodland, and Sacramento residents can enjoy Oren’s without trekking to the Bay Area.

One of the best things about hummus is that it is packed with nutrients. Chickpeas, the main ingredient, are a great source of protein, fiber, and other essential vitamins and minerals. They are also low in fat and calories, making them a great choice for those looking to maintain a healthy diet.

In addition to being nutritious, hummus is also incredibly delicious. The creamy texture and tangy flavor make it the perfect dip for pita bread, crackers, or vegetables. It can also be used as a spread on sandwiches or as a topping for salads.

In addition to Oren’s, Local Kitchens in Davis also hosts Nash and Proper. “Sacramento natives Cecil Rhodes and Jake Bombard were running Cecil’s food truck, Cecil’s Taste, in late 2017 when they decided to mess around with a recipe for a Nashville hot chicken sandwich” according to the Local Kitchens website.

A Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich is a popular dish that originated in Nashville, Tennessee. It is made with a boneless or bone-in chicken breast that is marinated in a spicy mixture of seasonings, then breaded and deep-fried until crispy. The sandwich is typically served on a bun with pickles and mayonnaise, and the chicken is often doused with a spicy “hot sauce” before serving.

The origins of Nashville Hot Chicken can be traced back to the 1930s, where it is said to have been created by a man named Prince Al who wanted to get back at his unfaithful girlfriend by making her a particularly spicy chicken dish. But it was a restaurant called Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack in Nashville that popularized it. Today, many restaurants and food trucks in Nashville and other cities serve their version of Hot Chicken Sandwich.

The “hot” in Nashville Hot Chicken refers to the spiciness level of the seasoning and sauce, which can range from mild to extremely hot. The sandwich is a staple of Nashville’s food culture and is becoming increasingly popular in other cities as well.

We can tell you one thing for sure, even the “Medium” level hot was quite spicy!

One of the things that Davis is known for is its vibrant arts and culture scene. The city hosts numerous festivals and events throughout the year, including the Davis Farmers Market, the Davis Arts Center, and the annual Picnic Day celebration. All this, within a 15 minute drive from anywhere in Woodland, CA.
