About — The Food Market

About The Food Market Columbia

The Food Market is a concept by Chef Chad Gauss and a highly talented team. Our goal is to provide an up to par, yet down to earth dining experience.

The Food Market originated in Hampden (Baltimore City) in 2012, focusing on making classics our own in a relaxed chef driven atmosphere. Over the years we have been honored with countless awards.

We chose Howard County because the people are wonderful and the community is welcoming. Our entire management team in Columbia came up through the ranks at our other locations and are excited to be here for you!

We take great pride in our inclusive and positive work environment. We love seeing our staff grow into new roles, while remaining true to their passions, styles and goals.

Planning a surprise?

If you wish to surprise a friend or relative with a bottle of wine, dessert, etc., you may do so by purchasing a gift card. Please call the restaurant in advance to let us know us the details and keep in mind that gift cards will not be processed until payment has been received. We do not accept credit card information over the phone.

Hoopla Hospitality has always been a company that prides itself on inclusivity, diversity, and a better Baltimore. We will continue to stand with and support all people of color. This weekend, we decided to make a significant donation to the ACLU. This Wednesday we will be donating 50% of all gift card sales, at both @thefoodmarket and @lafoodmarketa, to the NAACP - LDF. We hope that you will join us in supporting these organizations. (gift cards can only be used for dining in) #TheFoodMarket
