Krakelen Pizza Is a Great Place to Fill Your Pizza Cravings

-
The annual Corvallis Indoor Market began on Jan. 11 and runs every Saturday until April 11 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is located at the Benton County Fairgrounds in Corvallis. It’s full of delicious in-season vegetables, fresh smoked fish, and hand-crafted goods such as smooth wooden bowls or even warm felt hats; but that’s not all this winter market has to offer.

There's plenty of food carts set up by the booths lined up at the Benton County Fairgrounds to choose from, but one establishment stands out. With a bright red, wood-fired oven emitting a deep smoky aroma, Krakelen LLC is the premier option for delicious slices of oven baked pizza during the Corvallis Indoor Winter Market.
Kassandra Babb hand tosses artisan pizza dough to each order.

The owner of the stand, Lara Herrman, was inspired to create Krakenlen when she was finished with the military in 2017. She decided she wanted to start working for herself, and wanted to do something she was passionate about. So her and her husband Wolf Herrman created their family business Krakelen LLC.

Krakelen LLC is a veteran-owned food stand that creates their fresh wood-fired pizza right in front of you; from tossing the dough for each order to sprinkling parmesan cheese on top while it’s still piping hot. All of their ingredients are prepared the night before, ensuring that fresh taste with every bite.

Krakelen also includes mobile catering, which means you’ll be asked for your phone number when you order your pizza, and they will conveniently text you when your pizza is finished. Because of this, you can keep exploring the market instead of standing around waiting for your lunch.

When you pick up your pizza you’ll notice that they don’t use paper plates. Instead they used plates made from palm leaves that have been pressed into plates.

“No trees were harmed in this process,” says Wolf, “and they’re much sturdier than paper plates.”

Together the Herrmans have been involved with the winter market for about a year, but they have plans to expand their brand soon. You can follow their Facebook and Instagram @Krakelen, and check out their catering menu on their website at krakelencatering.com.

Street Vision Gallery Featuring Oregon Photographers

Rich Bergeman is the curator of this display. He says, “the best street photography creates art from the fleeting moments of urban life.” In today's age it can be seen as taboo or an invasion of privacy. But it gives the audience a look into real life' candid moments. Some advice from George Kelly (Middle) is this: "If someone gets mad because you took a photo of them and asks you if you did. You just say no, you walked into my photo and you ruined it! You could sit there and explain how it's legal, but we all know they don’t want to hear that." Lisa Gidley and Blake Andrews couldn't agree more Five Oregon photographers, George Kelly, Blake Andrews, Lisa Gidley, James Han, and Gary Gumanow, have their street photography on display until November 15th in the South Santiam Hall Gallery. They came to the LBCC Albany campus on October 24th to talk about their images and give advice to aspiring photographers. Some of the best advice that I heard f...

LBCC's Smoking Policies Throughout the Years

Image: Tobacco.Stanford.Edu While walking towards Takena Hall before your day of classes you may have noticed a designated smoking area or two in the parking lot. Has it always been like this? Around 50 years ago there wasn’t such a thing as designated smoke areas. When you walked into a classroom there would be big glasses, wild hair, and puffs of smoke coming from students and teachers during lectures. In 1981, Oregon legislation passed the Indoor Clean Air Act which prohibited smoking inside public buildings. This was to protect non-smokers from second-hand smoke. In 2009, the Indoor Clean Air Act had some modifications that included banning smoking within 10 feet of public doorways. After this ban, colleges everywhere had to make arrangements for the students who partake in smoking. “They [Linn County Department of Health] came out here and they told us, ‘If we find cigarette butts anywhere close to your doors, you’re going to get cited.’” said Marcene Olson, Director of ...
