Durrett Test Kitchen chooses Columbia for new location By Tiffany Collins The City of Columbia is pleased to announce that Durrett Test Kitchen has chosen our town for their new location. They will be moving their corporate offices to Columbia, Kentucky, and be opening manufacturing operations. The owners, Chef Barry Durrett and his wife, LeAnne, from neighboring Greensburg, are excited about moving their business to Columbia. Their location will be at property owned by Downey Properties LLC on Campbellsville Road. According to Chef Durrett, "Our move to Columbia is largely due to the hard work of Mayor Hoots; and, her team at the City; as well as Dr. Max Downey and his wife, Patricia, owners of Downey Properties LLC." The plants will be manufacturing sandwiches, pot pies, and be in the process of development of further design of meals and packaging. The plants will be FDA approved (United States Food and Drug Administration), and will be making an application for USDA inspection as well. The plants will also be Kentucky Proud through Kentucky Agriculture and SQF (Safe Quality Food) certified. "We will be running production lines, and have a full test kitchen on-site," says Durrett. The plant is anticipating to hire around fifty people from the local community at a very competitive wage. "We aim to be the employer that people want to work for; but, have to wait for a position to become available," said Durrett. Chef Durrett has travelled throughout the country participating in national culinary competitions. His many awards include:
The company plans on being in production in the near future following modification necessary for their business. Applications for hiring will be announced soon. This story was posted on 2022-01-28 12:58:35
