Our New Years Eve Box is here!

For this most anticipated New Years Eve, Chris has cooked up a decadent, dippable, sippable party in a box. If you haven’t been able to snag a Clover meal box (they keep selling out!) this one might be our crowning glory, focused on rich finger food and sparkly drinks, and designed to be unpacked and spread out for hours of snacking with minimal prep. Choose your size (2-10 people) then select pickup or free delivery for 12/30 or 12/31. 

To set up your celebration, surround our massive rainbow of dips and spreads with pickled Winter Moon Roots for dipping, house potato chips dusted with paprika, nacho cheesy popcorn, marinated mushrooms and more. Pull a bubbling cheesy brussels dip out of the oven, along with a goat cheese mushroom bruschetta. Heat up a “stupidly yummy” three cheese sourdough pizza from Richard Bourdon at Berkshire Mountain Bakery. Sneak two Flour sticky buns for yourself, or quarter them for everyone to enjoy.

For the first time ever, Clover Meal Boxes will have boozeWe’ve teamed up with cocktail wizard Jared Sadoian of Craigie on Main to make wintery-tinged cocktail kits; add ice and optional mixers from your own liquor cabinet (we’ve got a nonalcoholic version too)

Don’t forget to add a Midnight Breakfast Box. We’re bringing cheesy grits back onto the menu for the first time in 4 years and welcoming sunchoke season with our decadent sunchoke truffle breakfast sandwiches.

🥂 The full menu 🥂

A rainbow of dips
Our favorite spreads and dips of 2020.

– Whipped local black bean lime dip (remember me from the Venezuelan Plantain sandwich?)
– Romesco sauce (addictive Spanish red pepper dip)

Fondue without the pot
The Clover version of spinach-artichoke dip has thinly sliced local Brussels sprouts (in season, way yummier than spinach). Pop the tray into the oven til it’s warm and bubbling. Set it on your buffet table with a plate of sliced Clover pita, then visit it multiple times over the course of the night.

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…
