THE ONE AND ONLY VEGAN CUSTARD PUDDING STORE HOW "TRULY INCREDIBLE PUDDINGS" BEGAN! A poet Sora and his wife Hiro traveled around the world for 4 and a half years. Because Sora is vegan, in 2011 they came to the vegan friendly city of Vancouver. Sora started to host poetry reading events with vegan food made by Hiro. Sora asked Hiro if she could make vegan custard puddings for the event. Hiro created a vegan pudding recipe and it was huge success! After that anyone who tried the pudding wanted to try it again. Sora and Hiro decided to start catering. As the catering numbers grew, they decided to start the small take-away window pudding shop. Now their pudding is available at many restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores.

After spending over a decade in NYC real estate marketing, Legally Addictive founder Laura Shafferman was suddenly laid off and bound by a non-compete clause that prohibited her from working with other firms. Laura had lost her usual means to earn a living for a full year and was determined to take control over her future. Fatefully, after making a batch of her favorite childhood cookies for a party, a friend suggested she come sell her amazing “cracker cookies” at a holiday market. After selling out in only a few hours, she knew they were a hit and a new business was born! She spent the next year learning the food business at night and during the day, worked as an in-house caterer. Eleven months later, a few stores in New York City agreed to carry Legally Addictive, including the flagship location of Dylan’s Candy Bar. At the time, Laura was making the cookies in the off-hours of a bakery in Brooklyn, often until well past midnight, and then delivering them on the subway and on foot. Fast forward to six years later and Legally Addictive has now built its own production kitchen in Asheville, NC, has a team of 12 and is carried in over 2000 retailers and hotels in North America. The company has been featured on Good Morning America, Fox & Friends, FoodNetwork.com, and in a Tastemade video with over 10 million views.

Italian American heritage and coal oven pizza have long been established in our cultural history. Brooklyn, New York is its epicenter and Table 87 serves it up like no other. Family owned and operated since 2012, Table 87 was crowned “the home of the coal oven slice”. It was nearly impossible to buy a single slice from a coal oven pie in Brooklyn, so our founder and owner Thomas Cucco changed that. Table 87 now owns and operates three brick & mortar locations in Brooklyn, New York; all serving fresh coal oven pizza by the slice. We’ve democratized authentic, Brooklyn pies and slices and are proud to ship to pizza lovers around the United States and to partner with local and national retailers. Making it easy for people to enjoy their favorite pizza made us kinda’ famous. Table 87 is changing the frozen pizza game one slice at a time. Each pie and slice is handmade in Brooklyn, NY and topped with only the finest ingredients including fresh mozzarella, alta cucina tomatoes, grana cheese, fresh basil and our famous east-coast style crust. The pizzas are then coal-fired providing a char that's unique to any other frozen pizza. We then flash freeze and vacuum seal the pizzas in our clear packaging (giving the shopper a birds eye view of what they're buying. We're proud to say that Table 87 is not "hidden in a box." Since our pizzas are fully cooked and ready to eat, heat time is quick and convenient for the consumer.

It all started out in Holland, where founder Chantal Piët grew up. When she was a little girl, her grandmother, or Oma, introduced Chantal to stroopwafels. Chantal loved the way that the gooey caramel syrup was spread between two waffles - especially when it was heated over a cup of coffee or in the oven. In 2015, Chantal and her husband decided to move to the United States in search of adventure. They realized that sharing stroopwafels with people they met, allowed them to share a little bit of themselves, while they learn more about others. And thus, StroopClub was born. Avid scuba divers and hikers, the pair knew from the beginning that if they wanted to feel good about what they were creating, they would need to make sure they pursued the most eco-friendly business practices. At their core, stroopwafels are an ode to a zero-waste lifestyle. They were created as a use for a Dutch baker's leftover dough scraps. We strive to continue in this ideal and leave as little waste as possible by using repurposed packaging as much as possible and sustainable business practices. We spend our whole lives to make connections to and learn from others. That is why our central value in whatever direction we go, we aim to connect with others and to remain a bridge between cultures, people, and stories. "We hope that our stroopwafels will be a little aid for you to make new connections, share stories and make memories or at least, adds a little sweetness to your day!" - Chantal -

Laine & Lola Confection Co. brings to life the love of Filipino food prepared by the women in their family over the last century. Our story begins with “Laine” is Elaine Schober, the company founder & creator of PONPON Artisan Polvoron cookies and “Lola”, Elaine’s inspiration and grandmother who lived to her 100th year (1922- JAN 2022). PONPON Artisan Polvoron was created based on Lola’s original polvoron recipe brought to Canada when she immigrated in 1978. (At that time, Lola being new to the country and unable to find work, cooked authentic Filipino food out of her home for her community to make a living while caring for her grandchildren one of whom is Elaine.) After Lola had immigrated to Canada from the Philippines in 1978, she would traditionally make our family polvoron cookies during the Christmas season. When she turned 90, she decided to pass down all her recipes to me, her grand-daughter. This is when I saw and tasted in her polvoron cookies an opportunity to create a truly unique, gourmet dessert. Working with Lola’s recipe, I built off her original formula and created something new. The results were wonderful and Lola approved, too! Now, I’m delighted to be able to share our PONPONs with you. Every PONPON Artisan Polvoron cookie is made by hand. Though the recipe has evolved over time, the two most important ingredients that Lola never left out are still there in everyone - love and care.
