Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer

by Tanya on May 3rd, 2012 at 2:41 pm

Once again, we will be participating in Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer.

May 7th-13th, we will be offering an additional PINK topping for our waffles- all proceeds going to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.

Our special topping will actually be not a sauce (how unlike us), but a framboise whipped cream– a homemade whipped cream laced with Lindeman’s Framboise Lambic, tres Belge.

(If unfamiliar with the Framboise Lambic, it is a tart, fruity “beer” made with raspberries and it tastes more like a sparkling wine than any beer you’ve ever had).

So when you come in those dates, make sure you do your soul, and well as your tastebuds, some good and order a waffle with framboise whipped cream.

99 bottles of beer on the wall….

Our philosophy in eating tends towards the “variety is the spice of life” way of thinking. We have 12 different dipping sauces to choose from for our fries (not including plain ol’- but still homemade- ketchup and mayo).

And that philosophy holds true for our beer selection as well. Change it up and change it often is how we do things here. There is so much good, great, better beer out there and we have so little space that we are choosy when choosing what to carry and if it’s here one week, doesn’t mean it will be here the next.

So far, we’ve kept our Belgian (high in ABV content) staples- Piraat, Duvel, Gulden Draak, Corsendonk. These are so yummy that it might break our hearts to lose them. We’ve kept around Narragansett to satisfy a standard lager preference. We’ve kept Slumbrew’s Porter Square Porter on tap since we cook with it. After that, we’ve been ruthlessly editing our beer list.

Come and gone so far have been- Left Hand Nitro, Smuttynose IPA (I did love the label on that bottle), Pretty Things Jack D’or, vintage brews from Pretty Things, 21st Amendment Bitter American, 21st Amendment Monk’s Blood, 21st Amendment Allies Win the War, Unibroue Trois Pistoles, Chimay Triple…. I’m sure I’m missing some.

On tap now is Unibroue Ephemere, Slumbrew Porter Square Porter, Avery White Rascal, Tripel Karmeliet. Get them while they’re here!

Help Needed

We are hiring! We need an energetic person who doesn’t mind hard work, long hours and getting a little durty (working with food is no dainty thing). A love of food is the best bonus, since it’s pretty much all we talk about.

The most important requirement is the ability to work the late night weekend shift (we close at 2AM). Living nearby is helpful in that regard, since the T closes down before we close.

If interested, email Tanya at tkropinicki@sausllc.com

Anniversary Series, Top 10 Most Requested Items NOT on our Menu.

by Renee on February 27th, 2012 at 10:11 pm

Posted In: Uncategorized

As part of our Anniversary Series, here are the top 10 most requested items NOT on our menu…

10. Maple syrup: This one doesn’t come out of left field…we do have waffles, but we always explain that it’s not that kind of waffle. Our alternative to this request? The salted caramel usually fills the void just fine.

9. Sweet potato fries: The customer reactions to “No, sorry we do not have sweet potato fries” range anywhere from slightly disappointed to downright angry. It appears there are more than a few devotees to this tuber, alas it will not be appearing on our menu anytime soon.

8. Lattes/Cappuccinos/etc.: We have coffee, cold brewed iced coffee in the summer, and hot tea…but that’s the end of the line for us. Once upon a time we considered investing in an espresso machine, but decided…nah, let’s save room for beer taps instead. Amen.

7. Pizza: While most pizza requests come from our late-night patrons, here is a real life conversation I once had with a sober guy: Sober guy: I hear you guys have good slices. Me: Slices…of pizza? Sorry, we don’t. Sober guy: What? You don’t have slices? What do you have?

6. Coca Cola: Sigh…we have been trying to procure cans of coke from our beverage supplier for months now. This is something we hope to carry in the future…in the meantime, it is embarrassing to explain to customers how we don’t have basic pop…er…soda.

5. Oysters/Fish sandwich/Clam chowder: Believe it or not, we have been mistaken for the Union Oyster House (our next door neighbor). The Union Oyster House! The oldest restaurant in continuous service in the United States! Come on people.

4. Deep fried _____: Chicken, pickles, you name it…we’ve had a request for it. It makes complete sense…customers see the 3 large capacity deep fryers and instantly their darkest, deepest fried desires are triggered. Mine is personally for Beignets, but Chin won’t do it.

3. Honey mustard sauce: I feel like we’re just being jerks by not having this…it is truly delicious.

2. Burgers: These come from the ones who have scanned our menu, noticed the word burger, noticed the fries and condiments and calculated that what we do is meat patties. We get it…it’s confusing…what the FRIK is a burger sausage? It’s a frikandel and it’s everything you love in a burger and everything you love in a sausage, combined in delicious harmony.

….That said, one marriage of food attributes that we absolutely do not condone is our number 1 most requested menu item not on our menu…

1. Waffle fries: We have fries. We have waffles. We even have sandwiches and salads now…but never have we made, nor ever will we make waffle fries. We kind of understand the mistake…but only vaguely…the two items are separate but equal items, and never to cross paths into a hybrid creation probably invented by the jealous brother of the guy who invented sweet potato fries…both inventors, might I add, sickos intent on ruining the integrity of the good ole fashioned Belgian fry or English chip or all American French Fry.
