18 July, 2018: We’re thinking about where to open future restaurants. I was touring our suburban stores yesterday (CloverBUR in Burlington MA, CloverWST at Whole Foods in Westford, and CloverSUD at Whole Foods in Sudbury MA). I was super impressed with the Clover teams at Whole Foods. I don’t get out to those outposts very often. And they were such… Read More
17 July, 2018: Customer picture from CloverHUB Panelle in Sicily is terrible. There, I said it. The Panelle is one of our most successful sandwiches of all time. It’s like nothing you’ve had. Custardy, almost egg-like though it’s vegan. The fennel is amazing. It’s satisfying, yet summery and fresh and delicious. It’s incredible and I wish I could make it… Read More
23 June, 2009: This is one of my favorite juices. I love the buttery sweetness of the carrot and think the kumquat brings breadth to the carrot’s earthiness. We’ve had a lot of success pairing citrus with earthy root vegetables. Today we’re running the beet apple lime. You may have noticed juices are moving from a once or twice a… Read More
12 July, 2018: My home coffee grinder broke. It’s been a bummer. I tried to fix it myself and it’s really gone. I reached out to Chris Gatti, roaster at Little Wolf Coffee and asked his recommendation. He geeks out pretty hard on coffee equipment. He told me to go out and get a Baratza Vario. He suggests getting the… Read More
12 July, 2018: So what’s up with this DOL press release about Clover? The quick answer is that the DOL decided after a multi-year investigation that our food truck General Managers should be paid as hourly employees and cannot be considered salaried employees. I don’t know whether they are applying this to all food truck companies in Boston or just… Read More
26 June, 2018: (If not for the Impossible shirt I could claim this was me. My son Blue and I made a rhubarb pie last weekend. First time he has made pie. I looked EXACTLY like this when I was his age.) My love of rhubarb is no secret. If you’ve been eating at Clover for a while you might have… Read More
17 June, 2018: With the release of the Clover app, we’ve been taking a hard look at our waste and the amount of to-go packaging we’re generating. It’s been a lot. And although our packaging is compostable, most folks are taking it to-go, and unless your office is awesome and offers composting, it’s likely that all that packaging will end… Read More
26 November, 2008: Uhgg. I have mounds and mounds of paperwork I haven’t gotten to. Getting a start on it this weekend. Read More
10 June, 2018: This past Wednesday I showed up at CloverHSQ at 7:10am and immediately knew something was wrong. We launched the Impossible Sausage Egg and Cheese sandwich at all Clover locations. You might remember this idea originally came from our contractor Justin Kelly. I told him at the time that it would be wicked expensive (given how much the… Read More
5 June, 2018: After several months of testing at CloverHFI, we think this one might be ready for primetime. We’re doing a limited release of the Sausage Egg and Cheese tomorrow morning. Folks from Impossible are here from CA and will be paying visits to some locations to meet you all. Stop by. Give them a Boston welcome. And tell us… Read More
14 May, 2018: You all have your favorite Clover items, but did you know that chickens have their own favorites too? Michael, a customer at CloverHSC, noticed that we composted. He wrote to us asking if he could bring some vegetable scraps home to his ladies in Somerville. Lynn and the team filled up a 22-quart bucket of raw scraps.… Read More
4 May, 2018: The Maine Winter Tomato Sandwich is one of my favorite of the year. Not to be confused with the Heirloom Tomato Sandwich that we feature in September (also one of my favorites, do you sense a theme?). This sandwich features tomatoes from a greenhouse in Maine called Backyard Farms, we pair it with sustainably harvested Maine seaweed… Read More
5 January, 2010: I’m going to begin this and every post this week with a plug for Friday. we’re going to have a TV crew from TLC here filming a show that features Clover. We know you’re all going to come out, we’ll make it a good time. So I’ve said in the past that you’ll never find egg sandwiches… Read More
4 May, 2018: Clover is a better company today than it has ever been. We’re breaking records daily right now. Our food has never been better. We’ve never had access to the type of ingredients we’re using right now. Everyday there is something fantastic around the corner, a happy report in my inbox, a beautiful video about the Maine Tomato… Read More
