Congrats To Evol

Congratulations to local Evol Foods for getting Cooking Light's "taste test award" for their veggie fajita in the current issue of the magazine. Known first for their burritos, Evol has been branching out recently, and everything I've tried has been yummy.

One-Day Sale at Whole Foods Tomorrow

Tomorrow only, our local Whole Foods stores will be offering a quartet of sale items at pretty darned good prices. Three of them would go together for a tailgate party: Continental brats half off at $2.99 for 12 oz, a six pack of bratwurst buns to go with them for $2 (regularly $2.99), and traditional potato salad half off at $2.99 a pound. Also on sale will be Evol premium burritos at $2 each, which is $1.69 off a 7 oz burrito. I haven't yet tried these new premium ones, but based on how incredibly delicious their regular ones are, I'm betting they're fantastic. In addition to being convenient, they're also local, made from great ingredients, and by a company with strong sustainability values. If you miss tomorrow's one-day sale price, you can still catch them at a pretty good price, as Whole Foods has Evols for $2.50 each in their regular sale, lasting through November 2nd.

Evol Burritos a No-Show

The folks in customer service at the Pearl Street Whole Foods couldn't explain it, but Evol Burritos didn't show (at least by 12:15) for their "local vendor spotlight" that's on the store calendar from 11 to 2. On a brighter note, there were several other vendors there, including one of my favorites, Caleb and Milo, from near Taos, NM, with their incredible eggplant spread, salsas, and pesto.

Evol Burritos at Whole Foods Tomorrow

Like we need another food-related event to entice us on a day that already has the Boulder Farmers Market and the Lafayette Peach Festival. But from 11 to 2 tomorrow, the Pearl Street Whole Foods calendar says it will shine its local vendor spotlight on Evol Burritos, makers of possibly the tastiest prepared burritos you've ever tried. My assumption is they'll be sampling their wonderful product, and if we're really lucky, they'll be doing it by giving out their adorable mini-burritos as they've done in the past, maybe even with a coupon. If you're looking to buy one (in their main line - they're branching out into snack size and premium now too), take note that they're currently on sale at Sunflower for nearly one third off at $2 each. Today's price at Whole Foods was the regular $2.99.
