Drink ‘yo veggies!

EAT YOUR VEGGIES; OR AT LEAST EAT ON VEGGIES.

As proud Canadians and veggielovers, naturally we’re chuffed that the tomato-based Caesar is a Canadianfounded cocktail. So it made sense to speak with someone who has disrupted this industry for their tips on how to make the perfect Caesar and give a twist on the classic toppings. Walter Craft Founder, Aaron Harowitz grew up slinging cocktails in university which put him through school, but noticing the long list of sugars and additives in the average cocktail, he saw an opportunity to disrupt his favorite Canadian drink: the Caesar. What was his solve to this pickle?

A craft Caesar mix made with real whole ingredients, sustainably sourced clam juice, artisanal hot sauces, and an option for vegans (he uses dulse, an edible seaweed). His latest innovation? Dill Pickle Caesar mix. A customer-favourite with pickle juice and dill seasoning.

Overseasoning

Seasonings on the grill can actually burn under extreme heat. Add your seasoning after and treat it like a finishing.

Overcooking

Watch your veggies closely and take them off the grill just a little before ready. Then let them sit in a covered bowl so that the steam can break them down... this will keep them crunchy and prevent them from getting pooched.

Forgetting The Sauce Skipping The Prep

Veggies that are normally boiled should still be boiled before grilling! Use the grill to finish your vegetables and really impart those smoky flavours.

Grilled foods can have a really loud flavour that can be hard on the palette. Finish your veggies with a squeeze of acid or make a sauce! If you’re serving a dry vegetable... we have a problem. Make a beautiful herbaceous sauce with herbs, chillies, pickles, lemon... this will take your dish to the next level.

Vegetables for dessert?! What is this, the Upside Down? Look y’all, veggies deserve to be dessert too. They deserve sweetness and sugar. They deserve to be devoured like cake.

AI or Human?

We asked AI to write a haiku about vegetables. Then we asked a human. Can you tell which is which? Does it even matter? It’s only a matter of time before we merge, right? Maybe we won’t even need to each vegetables when we’re transhuman. Saddest. Day. Ever.
