We will be popping up again Thursday night at Pop's Blue Moon 7/15 from 6-9 or until it’s gone.
Ryan’s Italian pulled pork is from
whole pork butts, smoked low and slow for 6 hours on pecan and cherry wood and then oven roasted with olive oil, garlic cloves, sliced pepperoncinis and Italian seasoning melange - for even longer, until it slid off the bone!
We’ll be using those delicious seeded hoagies from Vitale's Bakery on The Hill St. Louis and a generous drizzle of R&D’s secret Stallion sauce.
Vegetarian or vegan and gluten-free options are also available.
Caprese salad on a sandwich or on crisp greens with pesto and olive oil.
The best compliments are from the omnivores who tell me it’s the best veggie sandwich they’ve ever had!
Hearty pasta salad is our side this week, so good it could be your entree.
Delicious libations inside Pop’s and fantastic music outside with Donny Goldman and friends!
We can’t wait to see you.

Our Valentines dinner got a little delayed... 😉 🥰
Chilled soba with ceviche in honey soy chili sauce with rice wine pickles and enochi mushrooms. Deconstructed spring rolls with sugar snap peas, golden plums, mint, julienne carrots, beet buttons, yellow peppers and clementine segments ( the rice paper got 86’d). Yin and Yang shrimp with sweet garlic and chili glaze. Fresh strawberries dipped in maple dark chocolate with fresh whipped cream.

Thanks Lisa!

Happy bellies are one my love languages!
Ryan and I made 6 gallons of my vegan molé chili! (It’s a 38 hour process and 30 magical ingredients in my molé!) I’m glad we set some aside for our dinner tonight because we sold all of the containers today! We still have a few left that we vacuum packed for freezing, so if you missed out today, you can still get a quart or two.
That’s Tofutti vegan sour cream on mine... you might add a squeeze of lime and a few tortilla chips.

In the burlesque community they have created a series of videos where the performer tosses a glove at the end of the clip and the next performer catches a glove and begins their clip and passes it on. This curry is as spicy as All that and began similarly, with the nibbled remains of some chili dusted dried mango and a sad looking lime left sitting on the table by a certain someone on the R & D team... a fridge purge and a wave of my magic wand... et voilà...

Roasted veggie coconut curry 🌶🌶

Butternut squash
Parsnips
Carrots 🥕
Yukon Gold potatoes
Red pepper
Veggie stock
Ginger
Garlic
Onion
Red curry paste (or powder)
Cumin
Coriander
Paprika
Cayenne
Himalayan salt
Avocado oil
Coconut cream
Finished with green peas and zucchini noodles on Jasmine rice

Quick roasted squash on high heat with oil... then parsnips, then carrots, potatoes were last. All but the squash left crisp for a solid bite and hint of crunch.
Sautéed onions, garlic, ginger, and spices in 3 cups of veggie broth.
Add veg to stock, simmer enough to absorb flavor but not soften, add coconut creme, add potatoes, serve and garnish with zoodles and peas.
The rice was left over from date night Poke’ bowls... and the dish is hearty enough to omit it.
Yep, it’s vegan... 😉

Just a lil flashback to October and our Judge's Choice winning chili! The smoked pork steak took it to another level for the chili on the left. The complexity of the Vegan Mole chili on the right had a lot of carnivores surprised there was no meat in there!

Check us out February 21st at Earthbound Beer from 5pm until empty pots! Supply will be limited, folks!
