For more than a week we’ve been hearing of all the different ways local businesses are supporting relief efforts in Haiti. Homegrown Sustainable Sandwich Shop (3416 Fremont Ave N) is another one doing what they can to raise money.
Chef Rob Milliron has created a homemade organic Creole popcorn that they’re selling for five bucks a bag. A first batch quickly sold out so he’s whipping up another round that will be ready for sale today. This time 100% of sales from the popcorn will go to the American Red Cross (last time proceeds went to the Yéle Haiti Earthquake Fund – it’s their way of “spreading the love”).
The Creole seasoning on the popcorn includes ingredients such as chili powder, cayenne, garlic powder, oregano and sweet basil. Chef Rob describes the flavor as “spicy and smoky, but also sweet”. Grab a bag while you can!
