Are we a burrito company now?
My staff and I were joking the other day that we’re shifting the NWK business model and only making Breakfast Burritos from now on. Sorry! Everything else is gone!That isn’t happening, but you love them and we’ve gotten into a good routine, so they aren’t going anywhere! Like all the food we make, the filling is made from scratch with an original NWK recipe. We mix up and bake our white bean scramble and chop and cook all the fresh veggies, then toss them with our cashew and veggie-based Mac Sauce and smoky ALT crumbles made from millet, mushrooms, &...

Your Crispy Chickpea Patties Are Ready!
We just stocked our freezer up with Crispy Chickpea Patties, Buffalo Chickpea Patties, and New World Burgers for you to order! These are the Crispy Chickpea Patties getting breaded with cornflakes 😍 A couple things to know about our meat alternatives:💚 They’re gluten-free, soy-free, & of course dairy- & egg-free!💚 We make these from scratch with vegetables, beans, millet, and spices. No weird hidden ingredients. 💚 We call them meat alternatives because they’re something to have instead. They aren’t “vegan chicken,” for example. They’re out here doing their own thing, being Crispy Chickpea Patties! 💚 If you love our Caesar...

A Look Back at Our Early Menu Items
I love looking through all the photos we’ve taken of our menu items, because it brings up so many memories from the last 3+ years of NWK. For example, the sunny Smoky Mac photo below. I made it for our very first pick up date in 2020! I put it in the bowl, and then Justin Norman & I drove it to a park near our apartment to photograph it on a picnic table because it was so beautiful outside that day. 😂😍This is food that really means something to me. Three quarters of these meals are even old favorites...
