New delivery restaurant Broke, High & Hungry lets patrons order single mozzarella sticks, single chicken tenders
A very unique restaurant concept has arrived in Columbus.
Broke, High & Hungry, a Chicago-based ghost kitchen that allows patrons to purchase as little as a single mozzarella stick or a single chicken tender, is now available in Columbus.
The eatery is located at 1282 Essex Ave., in the Columbus Food Hall, a collection of delivery and pick-up only kitchens.

“When I go out to eat, I want to try a little bit of everything, but it’s usually hard to do that without breaking the bank,” said owner Chris Johnston. “This lets people create their own little smorgasbord.”
Broke, High & Hungry offers a menu of late-night snacks like chicken tenders, jalapeno poppers, mac bites and birthday cake balls. Each of these items are also available in larger quantities, but what sets the new ghost kitchen apart is the fact that they can be purchased by the piece for delivery.
This means patrons can buy a single mozzarella stick for $1, a single chicken tender for $2 or a single jalapeno popper for $1.50. The eatery also offers burgers, grilled cheese, fries and Dill Doughs, pickles stuffed with smoked pork, rolled in cheddar and bacon-infused dough and deep-fried.
The eatery was created by Johnston, the owner of Cheesie’s Pub & Grub, a chain of Chicago grilled cheese restaurants that opened a ghost kitchen in the Columbus Food Hall earlier this month. He launched four different ghost kitchen concepts (Cheesie’s Pub & Grub, Broke, High & Hungry, Bob’s Bomb Ass Burgers and Pizza, Chicken and Dill Doughs) from the Columbus Food Hall, and is using Central Ohio and Ohio State as a test market.
If things go well, he said, Columbus can expect a brick a mortar in the future.
“Where we’re at, that’s exactly what I’d be thinking about doing, I would package everything together into a brick and mortar, do a combination, so the kitchen would have a little bit of everything,” Johnston said.
