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...

A Better Vegan Burger
Throwback to when I first made our New World Burger patties three years ago (and my cat Ned wanted a bite 😻) I wanted to make a vegan burger without gluten or soy, from whole food ingredients that still had a ton of flavor and a good texture, so that it wasn’t just another mushy bean burger. We get so much positive feedback on these patties made from black beans, mushrooms, millet. They’re on the menu this week for the first time in months! Grab a two-pack or a four-pack, and have a burger night next week! Pair with our...
