Smorgasburg!

I am a south Brooklyn girl. I figured it was a good omen that the G train was running and the sun shining and so I made my way north for Smorgasburg. I don't mean to pull a "I remember when..", but really, I remember when there was no waterfront in Williamsburg. My, how things have changed!




This sumptuous sweet potato pie is from Granola Lab. It is topped with their yummy granola, and might be one of the best vegan pies I've had in some time. Wholesome, spiced, earthy, with a delectable flaky crust.

Vegan Bodega! It's really neat to see all those products you read about on one table. VB hopes to open an actual Bodega, where you pop in for things like freshly sliced Monk's Meats. I picked up some queso and candy.I was very excited about the Food for Lovers Queso, an Austin based item right here in Brooklyn.
It's great. Luscious, spicy, and not too "noochy". I drizzled it over some kale along with Barry's Tempeh (also at Smorg) Mole Tempeh Tamale. So gosh darn good.
Sarah Gross does some amazing work for our four legged friends, Rescue Chocolate donates 100% of the net profits to animal rescue organizations. The Pit Bull Peanut Butter bar is my kind of chocolate bar. Dark sea salt aftertaste chocolate over fluffy peanut butter and those crispy rice crisps. This is not only delicious, but important chocolate. I am going to need more of this.

I am inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit I saw today and grateful for the access to new and exciting foods.
