Food evokes memories, and often we long for snapshots of childhood in certain dishes.
Did you eat corndogs growing up? Get served carrots and peas in your school lunch? Enjoy buttery popcorn, or microwave a Hot Pocket before you watched The Wonder Years or Alf?
What about a PB&J ice cream sandwich?
Some of these dishes might disappoint you now, even if the memory lingers. Never fear.
We’ll remix and veganize it, and you can feel like a kid again.
Only this time, it’s BYOB…

Here’s the menu, and if you’d like to get tickets, they can be found here.

State-Fair Corndog

Home-made hotdog, fried in a cornflour batter until golden brown. Served with ketchup and yellow mustard. We’ve seen omnivores devour these, unbeknownst that they were vegan all along.

Carrots and Peas

Shelling peas, fava beans, koji-cured carrots, pea mousse, with harissa spice and sauce. Doused with fresh herbs. A grown up, composed version of your childhood staple. We’ll be your lunch lady.

Popcorn Soup

“Mom… when I grow up, I’m gonna be a cook, and feed people popcorn soup, covered with potato chips!’ Let’s do this. We’ll make a velvety popcorn soup, and add some fried sunchoke chips on top. With a little bit of shaved truffle, because we’re totally civilized on our childish ways.

Hot Pocket!!!

Which was your favorite? The pepperoni pizza one? Ok, we can run with that. Pepperoni spiced seitan, meltable cashew mozzarella, and a rich tomato sauce baked into a flaky pastry crust. Served with whipped cashew, and a little extra marinara for dipping. Bonus points if you know the 3-note Hot Pocket jingle from the commercials. Hot pocket! I know you heard it…

PB&J Ice Cream Sandwich

I was inspired to make peanut butter and jelly ice cream one day, and it turned out fantastic. For quite a while, I was also making ice cream sandwiches. Put the two together, and you have a PB&J sandwich! Anyways, we’ll make the cookies, the ice cream, the chocolate shell, and you can stuff your face with an indulgent ice cream sandwich, like the overgrown child that you are. Come get it!
