😋 Savor Sauce To-Go
I’m a big fan of the Korean food from Bae Bae’s Kitchen in Downtown, and now you can buy bottles of their incredible sauces: wasabi honey, spicy sesame, maple gochujang, soy garlic, and plum.

🍔 Ah CRAPTEKA!
The best veggie burger event in town, CRAPTEKA, is back Jan. 20 through Feb. 5 at APTEKA in Bloomfield. This is one of my favorite pop ups of the year where the highly acclaimed Eastern European vegan restaurant dishes out homemade veggie burgers, fries, and sunflower seed ice cream shakes.
