Kyle and Lacy have been long time Tastebud family members. Many of you know Kyle from markets, catering or the restaurant. Their new little family has had some very intense challenges with baby Lew’s health. They have been facing all of these obstacles head on, but as a community I believe we can lesson some of their finical stress, so that they can keep their focus on little Lew, who is the cutest little peanut you will ever meet.
Please help us help them, donate to their Go Fund me if you can.
Thank you for all of your donations, so nice to know we have a generous community to help those around us. We are extremely grateful for all the financial help provided to them.
Make Borscht Not War “DESPITE THE UNBELIEVABLE HORROR OF THE SITUATION ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE, MANY OF OUR SLOW FOOD LEADERS AND ACTIVISTS HAVE DECIDED TO STAY BEHIND TO PROTECT, FEED AND RESTORE THEIR COMMUNITIES. THEY ARE CALLING ON US—THE GLOBAL SLOW FOOD FAMILY—TO SUPPORT THEM; BOTH THOSE WHO HAVE HAD TO LEAVE THEIR HOMES, AND THOSE WHO HAVE STAYED BEHIND.” – slowfood.com
Borscht for Ukraine #CookForUkraine Borscht is a Ukrainian cultural heritage. And we thought it would be a great vehicle to generate donations for Slow Food International who are raising funds to support Ukraine in two ways: Saving Ukrainian biodiversity and Keeping knowledge alive.

100% of borscht sales will be donated – We have raised $580 in Borscht sales! Thank you so much! We will be continuing the fundraiser this week. Also we will be matching the total borscht sales, doubling the contribution. Please help if you can.
In 1998, when I was in high school, I visited the Soviet Union. The trip included Russia, Ukraine and Moldavia. It was an experience of a lifetime. It was my first visit with Eastern Europe, and not my last.
UPDATE – We have no tangible plans for a change of service style. We will be continuing with take out only, encouraging online ordering and expanding our bagels, breads and baked goods menu. I recall just a year ago we considered opening back up, just as a lot of places did. But very quickly they had to close or pivot their service yet again. With that fresh our minds, we are going to just sit tight and keep the ship steady as she goes, until our lifestyles seem more ‘permanent’ and ‘dependable’.

Enroot Cold Brewed Sparkling Teas are super refreshing and healthy! They are certified USDA organic, have only 25 calories, are gluten free, vegan, plant based, kosher, have no added sugar, no artificial flavors, and they are alcohol free…
When I first cracked one open it smelled of my childhood road trips, stopping by the gas station and picking up a Snapple. Do not let that deter you, the flavor is not cloyingly sweet!! Created by James Beard Foundation Chefs, they are dry, herbaceous, and meant to be paired with food.
Enroot is a female-led benefit corporation with the CEO Cristina Patwa paying homage to her grandmother’s legacy as a small-scale farmer and food entrepreneur in the Philippines.
They come in 360ml bottles and we have four flavors this week $6.50/bottle:
