Chris is famous

On Wednesday, our head of food Chris was in The Boston Globe! Check out Kara Baskin’s interview with Chris as part of her Getting Salty column, where she interviews people making waves in the food scene. I heard tell of Chris before I met him. My first manager, Leah, said with reverence, “One day, you will meet CHRIS!” this shadowy culinary persona who would help us out on the truck on Fridays. Finally I met him, and he was a calm Midwesterner with a knack for…

The Buffalo is BACK!

This sandwich really shocked us with how popular it’s been, but once you taste it, you will understand why. We use celery root, aka celeriac, this knobbly, gnarled joy of a winter vegetable. We cut it into planks, batter it with a tightly-crusted-panko breadcrumb topping, and gently fry it. We’re getting our celery root from Verrill Farm in Concord (thanks Verrill!) Also on the sandwich: a buffalo aioli, a smoky fava bean spread with a touch of Clover BBQ sauce, dill pickle coins, and a lovely cabbage-feta-black pepper sauce.

Meet the Mushroom Popper

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…

The Carrot Sandwich is back!

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.

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:

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. If you aren’t on our email list, we occasionally send out little gifts there. Last night we sent out $5 off a Nashville Hot Mushroom sandwich or platter, and now I’m sharing it here…

Testing protein add-ons for bowls at 2 locations

Chances are you’ve tried the new Clover Bowls. We’ve been running them since the Spring. After a few tweaks, we landed on a roster we love: the Mediterranean Bowl, the Verde Rice and Bean Bowl, and a Rotating Seasonal Bowl. The bowls have transformed our menu – Josh, a Kendall customer, recently wrote to us, “The beet poke bowl is the best new item I’ve tried at Clover in years. I love the freshness and bite of the mix of flavors.” We’ve also heard some very good suggestions about how to make them even better…
