May The Fourth be with you

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
a meal box lands on your home planet. You, a brave cook, open it and find a strange assortment of intergalactic meals…Yoda Pancakes, Blue Milk, Millenium Fal’corn, Bantha Meat Sandwiches, Pita Pizza Planets, Slurpy Soup, and Yoda Soda…

Your job: choose how to use it. Celebrate on May the 4th; pair a different meal with a different movie each night; or order multiple boxes and throw a movie marathon in your backyard.

This box will be distributed just once, on Friday April 30.

Since Luke Skywalker started out as a humble farm boy, this box supports all the hard-working farmers throughout our galaxy. And it’s priced so that Jedis just starting out can afford it. $65 for a box that feeds 2 people, $110 for a box for 4.

BREAKFAST: BABY YODA PANCAKES, BLUE MILK, CORN FRITTERS, SMOKY TEMPEH

For breakfast, we’ll teach you how to make bright green baby yoda pancakes! You’ll combine dry pancake mix with eggs and spinach-infused buttermilk, then pour yodas onto your griddle using our handy diagram. Don’t forget the jumbo chocolate chips for Yoda’s big eyes. Wash them down with a blue milk smoothie, just like they have on Tattooine. Plus in a nod to our home planet, there’s MA corn fritters, smoky tempeh, and for drizzling—a New Leaf Syrups maple syrup sampler pack.

LUNCH: BANTHA MEAT GYROS AND EGG DROP SOUP FOR GROGU

Head to the cantina where spacers, smugglers, gamers, and star pilots collide. But be careful, there’s danger around every corner. Don’t worry, Chris made “bantha meat” seitan to keep up your defenses, which means you’ll get to make the first-ever Clover sandwich invented in another galaxy! Red beet tzatziki, yellow pickled turmeric, lettuce, tomato, fluffy pita. And for Grogu, a bowl of egg drop soup you’ll simply warm and serve (just watch out for the cephalopods).

DINNER: PITA PIZZA PLANET BUILDER WITH LENTIL CONSTELLATIONS

Create your favorite planet – whether it’s Endor, Tatooine, or Yavin Prime. Then destroy it with your mouth! We’ll give you all the fixings – house tomato sauce, Impossible meatballs, two types of cheese, pesto, roasted cauliflower, walnut sauce, blue oyster mushrooms that look like something from another planet – and suggestions on how to make a tasty combo.

Fun fact: these “pita pizzas” were a suggestion from a customer. Satyan, if you’re reading, reach out: we want to buy you a box to say thanks for the idea.

MOVIE SNACKS: YODA SODA AND MILLENIAL FAL”CORN”

We give you Yoda-colored matcha syrup and seltzer, you have fun getting the perfect hue. To snack on during the movies, we’re sending plenty of (vegan) cheesy Millennium Fal”corn.” You pop the corn and toss it in our spice mix.

DESSERT: “BOBA FETT” BOBA BEET (TAPIOCA PUDDING)

We’re making beet tapioca pudding inspired by the famed bounty hunter!

This box is now already 40% sold out from pre-orders and may sell out by the end of the week. So the choice is yours.

The moment you’ve waited for is here. Western Mass Brussels sprouts are back in the restaurants, which means the King himself has landed! What’s on this glorious sandwich and why is it the King of all seasonal sandwiches? A dijon-mayo spread, smoked Grafton cheddar, fried Brussels tossed with za’atar (a Middle Eastern spice blend), pickled red cabbage, and toasted hazelnuts.

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:

In honor of Halloween, Kevin (Director of Hospitality) and the kitchen team have been baking up a spooky surprise: Halloween cookies made with black cocoa powder and a sugary eye that will blink ominously at you. We’ll have Halloween cookies all week, and if you come in costume tomorrow (10/31) you’ll get a mini one for free! We’ll be taking extra care with one element of the cookies – the eyes. The kitchen team discovered that the eyes melt if you put them in the batter before cooking, so we’ll be carefully transplanting an eye onto each cookie right after they exit the oven.

When we were thinking about what special seasonal veggies to build new fall celebration boxes around, one tuber spoke to the Clover Chefs above all others: Beauty, thy name is Sweet Potato. We get our Sweet Potatoes from the best producer in the world—Ray Young at Next Barn Over Farm in Western Mass. Ray’s sandy soil is so perfect for growing sweet potatoes, they call it “sugar sand.” Next Barn’s sweet potatoes are complex, nutrient-packed, and beautiful.

In this age of inflation, here’s some good news. The price of the Impossible Meatball Sandwich just went down! This sandwich is one of our most expensive to make, mostly because of the Impossible meat (which we don’t make) that goes into our meatballs (which we do make, with pita, milk, pecorino, and lots of Italian-American love.) We drown the meatballs in warm marinara sauce, then tuck them into our house-made pita with a shake of pecorino and a slice of melty provolone. It’s been on our menu since 2017 when we helped Impossible launch in New England.

Right when I finished the final bite of my Apple Box last year, I started to think about when I could order it again. I love apples in the fall, but when I’m meal-planning, I usually opt to just pack the apples as they are—crisp, round, and raw. The Apple Box opened my eyes to using Apples as an ingredient.

Yesterday, a video shot this summer was posted by an online prankster who bought a Soy BLT sandwich at Clover, put a chicken cutlet on the sandwich himself, then approached one of our team members to complain, claiming the restaurant served him chicken. Our employees were very confused and one employee got very upset. The situation escalated when the internet prankster asked for $100 in return for not posting the video online.

Fruity, juicy, spicy, sweet. Heirloom tomatoes are here, and we’re celebrating tomato season in a big way this year.  1 – Heirloom tomatoes all over the menu, especially in a new Summer Celebration Bowl that Sara dreamed up. 2 – A big Tomato Tasting event w/Verrill Farm this Thursday afternoon at Newtonville (click here to RSVP).  3 – Our Tomato Meal Box with recipes like tomato gratin, chilled roasted tomato soup, and a perfect tomato salad. The last chance to grab it this year is Wednesday at 5pm.

Honestly, Lucia and I are still getting used to writing words like “Chicken” and “Pork” in our emails, but Clover’s partnership with Tender—our favorite local neighborhood plant-protein magicians—means that the Kitchen team is cooking up all sorts of amazing new sandwiches for our menu. This week, we’d like to introduce you to the new BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich. It starts with Clover’s BBQ sauce, the stuff of legend: conceived on a research trip to Texas…

We had no idea what the word Panelle meant when a customer first told us about it ten years ago. This customer grew up in Sicily, the triangular island south of mainland Italy. His mom would make a snack for him after school – a kind of savory cake called panelle! Crispy on the outside, creamy and custardy on the inside. Made from chickpea flour – what?!

I recently took a Soup Box on a family vacation and we were all blown away by the clean, clear flavors and the freshness of the produce. (It was a potato leek soup with arugula salad and cider chive vinaigrette, French bread, local cucumbers, local radishes, and 2 different types of compound butters.) If you haven’t had a meal box in a while, this time of year might be the perfect time to try one…
