17 August, 2017: We had an overwhelming response to our Clover bowls test at CloverFIN. We were supposed to run the test til yesterday, but we’ve had lines out the door every day, and over 400 people filling out surveys. We’re extending the bowls test to this Friday, 8/18, from 11-2 at CloverFIN, 160 Federal St, Boston. If you tasted… Read More
14 August, 2017: We’re testing a ton of changes to our menu right now. Most of them are centered around a realization I came to the other day: most of our customers are taking food to go. On the food trucks it was never clear if food was for here or to go. Our first restaurant at Harvard Square (at… Read More

27 September, 2008: This is Rolando Robledo, Clover’s chef. We’re absolutely thrilled to have him on board. Rolando found his way to Clover by way of The French Laundry, the Waldorf, and most recently, Johnson and Whales as a professor. He’s going to be working the food truck with me full time for the first 6 weeks and we’re going… Read More
7 August, 2017: This little guy could be the future of Clover, but we need 300 customers to beta-test it first. You’re invited to stop by CloverFIN starting Wednesday to taste Hummus Bowls. There’s something in it for you too, besides helping us improve… First up, what are these bowls all about? They start with creamy hummus made with organic… Read More
7 August, 2017: Last night we tested hummus bowls at CloverKND. We’re on again tonight, 6pm – 8pm at CloverKND (Kendall Square). I’m hoping this is the first step towards the future of food at Clover. Let me explain… I realized 2 months ago that most of our customers are taking our food to go. I guess we sort of… Read More
7 August, 2017: Isn’t this crazy? That’s how we’re receiving chickpeas these days. Chris has done some amazing work getting us better and better chickpeas. When I started Clover I had no idea there was any difference in the quality of any bean. Then I learned about heirlooms, and that’s a whole world of deliciousness. Then I started to learn… Read More
7 August, 2017: Our hummus was not originally designed to be eaten alone on platters. We developed it with a sandwich in mind. Less cumin, less garlic, creamy enough to spread easily on a sandwich. This year we decided our hummus needed a revisit. Chris and Ayr had just gotten back from NYC. They went to a hummus bar there,… Read More
9 December, 2008: I bought a couple bricks of vegan cheese to try. I’m sorry to say I just can’t stand this stuff. It stinks first of all. Smells like a grease trap, and if you don’t know what that is you’re lucky. And it doesn’t melt, don’t listen to the claims. I’m putting this in the “better to go… Read More
7 August, 2017: Bring it on summer. Bring it on Boston. The number of mouths we’re feeding daily has more than doubled in the past 4 weeks. That means we are making a ton more Hummus and Falafel. Which means our little 3 Qt. Robo Coupe (commercial food processor) is working overtime. Like 20-30 batches a day. 2-3 hours non-stop… Read More
29 July, 2017: I closed the trucks today. Actually, I started this post yesterday, Friday. It’s now Saturday. So I closed the trucks yesterday. I wasn’t ready to post it until today. I’ll write on this more in the future. But for now I wanted to let you all know the basics. CloverDWY (parking at Dewey Square) will remain open… Read More
27 July, 2017: If you’ve eaten at Clover recently you have found us asking you “when was the last time you ate at Clover?” or some variant. We’re using this data to do analysis to make Clover better. But we’re also using this question to determine which customers we should be inviting to our Clover App, which is currently in… Read More

23 June, 2010: This is Antony. He was our last dinner customer of the night last night. And as far as I know, he is our most shining example of a successful pre-order. Nearly every day, Antony comes by for breakfast, and while he’s at the truck, he pre-pays for his lunch order – one chickpea fritter and rosemary fries.… Read More
