A Family Of Friers

HOT,

CRISPY, AND DELICIOUS IS what you’ll get when you try the new food truck in Eau Claire, Frybread Factory. Brand new and family-owned, Frybread Factory is the place every foodie should try. Kristine Martin and her three children are the proud workers behind this food truck, bringing fresh frybread to the Chippewa Valley.

Martin’s family recipe will fre up your tastebuds. Frybread is a fat dough bread that’s fried in oil and can be paired with an assortment of sweet toppings, like cinnamon, powdered sugar, honey butter, peanut butter, and more.

“There’s nothing better than seeing people enjoy their food. It’s just a great feeling. We just want to keep getting better and I guess the special thing about it is it’s just from the heart,” Martin said.

Along with the sweet factor, Frybread Factory uses frybread to make Indian tacos, a taco using frybread for the shell, and blanket dogs, which are hotdogs wrapped in frybread dough and deep-fried. The food truck’s menu also includes walking tacos, loaded nachos, and powwow fries, which is Martin’s son’s own invention using regular fres but with a super-secret blend of spices and nacho cheese sauce.

Martin said this food truck has been a dream of hers for years. She and her family started out by serving their food at local pow wows with friends and family, and now she wants to share it with the public.

“My kids, this is something I can leave to them and my grandkids and I feel really good about that,” Martin said. “They just love it. And we spend time together and that’s the big thing for me.”

You can see where Frybread Factory will be on their Facebook page, where they post when and where a couple of days in advance. The Martin family is working to bring a little diverse deliciousness to the Chippewa Valley. Martin said, “We just hope to make people happy with our food.”
