The Japanese Sweet Potato Sandwich is back!

It’s kinda sweet, it’s kinda funky, it’s kinda savory, and it’s only here this time of year. The Japanese Sweet Potato Sandwich has returned for the fall! What’s inside? Shoyu mayo, roasted-then-fried sweet potatoes, cabbage-green-onion-slaw, and tempura-fried sesame seeds that resemble a many-eyed sea monster. In the Clover museum, there exists a piece of paper from 10 years ago, when the Japanese Sweet Potato (or JSP for the true fans) was first presented at Food Dev. Enzo was trying to do 2 things when he created this masterpiece:

My cookie is looking at me!

In honor of Halloween, Kevin (Director of Hospitality) and the kitchen team have been baking up a spooky surprise: Halloween cookies made with black cocoa powder and a sugary eye that will blink ominously at you. We’ll have Halloween cookies all week, and if you come in costume tomorrow (10/31) you’ll get a mini one for free! We’ll be taking extra care with one element of the cookies – the eyes. The kitchen team discovered that the eyes melt if you put them in the batter before cooking, so we’ll be carefully transplanting an eye onto each cookie right after they exit the oven.

First price decrease in a while!

In this age of inflation, here’s some good news. The price of the Impossible Meatball Sandwich just went down! This sandwich is one of our most expensive to make, mostly because of the Impossible meat (which we don’t make) that goes into our meatballs (which we do make, with pita, milk, pecorino, and lots of Italian-American love.) We drown the meatballs in warm marinara sauce, then tuck them into our house-made pita with a shake of pecorino and a slice of melty provolone. It’s been on our menu since 2017 when we helped Impossible launch in New England.

We had to travel to Sicily to believe it

We had no idea what the word Panelle meant when a customer first told us about it ten years ago. This customer grew up in Sicily, the triangular island south of mainland Italy. His mom would make a snack for him after school – a kind of savory cake called panelle! Crispy on the outside, creamy and custardy on the inside. Made from chickpea flour – what?!

Beautiful lettuce from Verrill Farm in Concord

Emily just sent me a picture of this giant lettuce we just got from Verrill Farm. We’re going to be putting it in Monday’s Salad Meal Box along with eggplant, carrot-feta spread, Lebanese white bean salad, and a bunch of other yummy things. If you’re subscribed, you’re probably already in for this delivery; if you’d like to try it a-la-carte click here.

Last week of the Nashville Hot (and a gift)

Don’t let the next 7 days go by before stopping in for a Nashville Hot Mushroom. Corn mayo, a pile of beautiful Rhode Island Mushrooms we batter and fry, our sizzlingly hot Nashville oil, leaf lettuce, and some VERY necessary cooling pickle slices.
