Wild Oats Market offers a delicious variety of hot foods
Williamstown - The Wild Oats Community Market Prepared Foods Department now offers a delicious variety of hot foods for lunch and dinner, every day. The new Hot Bar features a menu that rotates daily to include customer favorites and various American regional and international cuisines. The Hot Bar is open daily from 11:30 am to 2 pm and from 4:30 pm to 7 pm. Stop in for a scrumptious, healthy lunch or dinner that you can eat in the market’s sunny café, or take with you.On Friday nights, the Hot Bar will feature /Pizza by the Pound/ made from scratch by the Wild Oats deli and bakery. On week-ends, the Hot Bar will change its persona to /Mama’s Home Cookin’/ and offer earthy “comfort food” entrees. Hot Bar menus for the month will be available at Wild Oats and online at www.wildoats.coop
The addition of the Hot Bar comes on the heels of a recent expansion to the Wild Oats deli’s /Grab ‘n Go/ case. From deli staples to a variety of innovative new salads, our /Grab ‘n Go/ section features many healthy options for customers who enjoy the convenience of prepared foods. Salads such as roasted chickpea, carrot raisin, tofu and veggie, and Greek-style kale provide fresh, nutritious alternatives to more standard prepared meals, and our inviting café area gives customers the option to “eat in” or take their meal to go. Heat-and-serve entrees are another popular recent addition to the deli. And the Wild Oats bakery continues to grow, introducing new breads and pastries on a regular basis.
