Product: The Chicago Mini

Our contributor Adam B. is repping a new deep-dish frozen pizza called The Chicago Mini. The personal-size pizzas are made by a one-man operation based in Woodstock and the vegan options use mozzarella Daiya. Some local bars like Belmont Station are starting to carry them and they’ll be available at Food Fight! starting this weekend. Adam will be offering samples there tomorrow (2/18) from 11am-2pm.

Moving: Wolf & Bear’s

Apparently today is the last day to get Wolf & Bear’s in SE! The vegetarian middle eastern cart at SE 20th & Morrison tweeted about an hour ago that they’re moving to Mississippi Street next week for the winter months with more details to follow. [UPDATE: 10/6 they are now open in the Buyolympia parking lot which is next to Land at 3925 N Mississippi; SE cart will re-open in the spring]

At least their fresh green hot sauce is now available in SE at Food Fight!…
