I used to eat Egg & Eggplant sandwiches while driving the food truck from MIT back to JP. Looking back on it, that was a somewhat messy choice of a sandwich to eat one-handed while driving a food truck that bounced every time it hit a pothole, but it was so worth it. Crisp circles of eggplant with a crust that’s so thin that it shatters in your mouth, revealing an almost fruity, mild, custardy center with that hint of…

We’ve been getting some requests from folks further afield who can’t get to Clover to try the Zucchini. So as promised, here’s a recipe sheet you can print out – it shows how to make the basil mayo, the glazed fried tofu, and the corn-zucchini-shiso salad. Enjoy! 

It’s so fun to see seasonal drinks back on the menu. Right now blueberries are at their peak. We’re getting them from Harlow’s Sugarhouse in Vermont, a 100-year-old farm that taps maple in the spring and grows blueberries in the summer. We’re making them into blueberry lemonade, blueberry soda, and blueberry lemon rosemary spritzes. Here’s Kiernan’s son Charlie waiting…

Once designated the “Best Sandwich in Boston” by Boston Magazine, we’re bringing back one of our most popular seasonal specials. While long-time Cloverites will know it as The Bridgewater, it’s now going by The Mushroom Popper (or M-POP, as it’s designated on our internal systems.) Inspired by the unforgettable jalapeño poppers once served at The Charlie Horse Tavern*, The Mushroom Popper features crimini mushrooms from Rhode Island Mushroom Co, fried to perfection then glazed with our kicky honey-sriracha sauce. We lighten it up with ribbons of…

Last week, Derek from Speedwell Coffee came to our weekly General Manager meeting to teach us all about espresso via a cupping session. “Cupping” is a methodical way of learning about the flavor, aroma, and body of coffee beans and involves smelling and tasting the espresso through a series of precise steps: pouring perfectly-temperatured water over dry grounds, creating a crust at the top of the cup; breaking the crust and raking a spoon through the crust just so; slurping (and thus aerating) the finished brew. Roasters will often use cupping to test out new beans. My favorite part was Derek’s fervent…

Just in time for your New Year’s Resolution to eat more carrots! Spicy, sweet, and limey, it’s the only Clover sandwich to have a love letter written to it (by an avowed carnivore no less!) Paul dreamed up the Carrot Sandwich back in 2017: carrots two ways (habanero carrot hot sauce, roasted carrots), creamy feta sauce, cabbage lime slaw, and fried farro for crunch). It went through 3 versions before getting to the one you love today.
