A Message from the Manager
Fall is finally here. I hope you’re all staying warm and well fed.. This month we’ll have Stornetta fresh dried beans (available only once a year), Beyond Meat burgers (a hugely successful and authentic new meat alternative), several new Gluten-Free zero sugar hard mineral waters (available to buy by the case or as singles in our deli case), and many more new, fun & exciting goodies!
Perhaps more exciting than our new food and drink options, is our very first art reception this Friday, October 12th from 5-7pm! We’ll be featuring local artist Anthony Rees and San Diego based artist Meredith Fredericks. We’ll have a little live music and have wine by the glass available for order in our cafe. So come out, take in some fine art, and bring an instrument!
And lastly on the events calendar this month, DJ Jasmine will be registering voters on Friday, October 19th from 1-4pm. The deadline to register to vote is October 22nd.
So stop in, see what’s fresh, and make sure you’re registered to vote in the November election!
And remember, we vote every day with our dollars.

Ingredients
Burgers
- 4 Beyond Burger Patties
- Caramelized Poblanos and Onions (recipe below)
- Brioche burger buns, toasted
- 2 Avocados, sliced
- 1 cup Pico de Gallo
- Chipotle Mayo
- Butter Lettuce
For the Caramelized Poblanos and Onions:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large yellow onions, finely sliced
- 2 poblano peppers, finely sliced
- ½ cup water
- Kosher salt
PREPARATION
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and poblano and sauté for 10-15 minutes until it starts to caramelize. Reduce the heat to medium and add a few tablespoons of water starting at the 15 minute mark and continue to caramelize for a total of 45 minutes until deeply brown but not burnt. Season with salt and set aside.
Cook the Beyond Burgers according to the package directions.
Place your toasted buns on a plate and add the lettuce leaves to the bottom of the bun. Top the lettuce leaf with the Beyond Burger. Top the burger with sliced avocado and caramelized onions and poblanos. Add some pico de gallo on top. Slather the top half of the bun with the chipotle mayo and top the burger with the bun. Serve immediately.
