Olive & Sinclair Caramels

While strolling through the newly-opened Ponce City Market, a certain little candy package caught my eye (okay, three, we designed them all). It never gets old seeing Green Olive’s work out in the real world, and these Olive & Sinclair Caramels are no exception.

Available in Sea Salted and Duck Fat varieties, we think we hit the nail on the head designing a box, slightly reminiscent of vintage shot gun shell packaging, that speaks to the tradition and nostalgia of the product’s own flavor. We challenge you to try one and stay in the here and now; we’ve found it way too easy to transport ourselves to grandma’s — er, Scott Witherow’s — sweet aroma-filled kitchen, ourselves.

Gene & Georgetti - Chicago, IL

We decided on the oldest steakhouse in Chicago while looking for a nice piece of beef. Definitely the right call:

Gino's East - Chicago, IL

I think it weighed about six pounds.

Longman & Eagle - Chicago, IL

Longman & Eagle is one of our new favorites, for a variety of reasons - great food (see the croque madame below), nice design, creative cocktails, and they have six killer rooms above the restaurant where you can stay for the night.

Boccalone - San Francisco, CA

What visit to San Francisco's Ferry Market is complete without a trip to Boccalone? Our haul from the shop this week included Brown Sugar & Fennel, Soppressata, and Orange & Wild Fennel salamis. You can also order 'em online.

Burger Up - Nashville, TN

Just a quick shout-out to the pimento cheese burger at Nashville's Burger Up:

Red Velvet Doughnut

It's always exciting when a box from Sublime Doughnuts shows up at our office...today's haul includes a red velvet:

Minetta Tavern - New York, NY

Minetta Tavern has had my absolute favorite burger in the country ever since they re-opened a couple of years back - we just checked in to make sure it's still on top...it is. Here's an in-depth look at the burger from our friends at A Hamburger Today.

Pier 76 Pizzeria - Staten Island, NY

Our new favorite pizzeria is just a 30-minute trip from Manhattan on the Staten Island Ferry, only a couple blocks away from where the boat docks. The family that runs the place here (related to the Joe & Pat's family) gives southerners a run for their money in the hospitality department. Great pizza to boot.

We've launched the website (as well as designed the logo, menus, print materials, etc.) for the just-opened H. Harper Station in Atlanta.
