Jenny created the Mexicali Mushroom in late February 2020. We tested it at our Kendall location and everyone loved it! But then Covid hit, and it never made it to primetime. A few months ago we were talking about what mushroom sandwich could possibly be worthy to replace the Mushroom Popper when it goes off the menu for a bit. I think Chris was the one who recalled the Mexicali Mushroom. It has a chipotle mayo, crimini mushrooms fried in the style of a fish taco, a juicy cabbage slaw, and a cilantro garlic pesto/salsa creation…

Every year, just after Valentine’s Day, we start getting the same question in from customers: Will there be a Passover Box this year? Sometimes the pleas are more direct, sometimes more colorful. The glories of the mushroom Chopped Liver and romesco spread on matzoh are a common theme. An NYC-based friend of mine, Sarah, often DRIVES UP TO BOSTON to claim one! So I’m happy to report, yes, the box is now live! We’ll be delivering 2 days this year – March 30 and March 31.

March is a magical, delicious, sticky, snowy, sunny time of year. Even though a lot of produce isn’t in season yet, we get maple sugaring season, when nighttime temperatures drop below freezing, but the days begin to feel balmy. That’s when the sap begins to run and the boiling-down begins. Family-run Sugar Shacks open their wooden doors and set out their checkered tablecloths, and we launch our Maple Box.
