IMPOSSIBLE Meatloaf

RATING: ❄❄❄❄❄

IMPOSSIBLE Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes ($8) features classic gravy and crispy shallots for a flavor that is classic, heart-warming, and just good! You’d be hard-pressed to know it wasn’t really made with meat!

Southern Mac ‘n Cheese

RATING: ❄❄❄⚫⚫

Southern Mac ‘n Cheese ($8.50) features Cajun-style mac & cheese with andouille sausage and spiced panko crunch. The flavors here are spot on, a nice level of heat and saltiness. But the dish is very oily which you can see from our picture.

Holiday Ham Slider

RATING: ❄❄❄⚫⚫

Holiday Ham Slider ($9) is filed with with cranberry-bacon jam and Gruyère on a salt and pepper brioche bun. The flavors here are good, but we’re not necessarily rushing back to get this one again, especially for the price.

Brisket Slider

RATING: ❄❄❄❄❄

Brisket Slider ($9) is filled with smoked onions and horseradish ketchup on a pretzel roll. While not particularly very holiday-ey, the falvors are great. Only complaint was a very soggy bottom bun.

IMPOSSIBLE Albondigas Soup

RATING: ❄❄❄❄❄

IMPOSSIBLE Albondigas Soup ($12.49 for a full size portion) features IMPOSSIBLE meatballs in a vegetable soup. This one hits it out of the park with big pieces of veggies, it tastes just like a homemade bowl and you would never know it’s not made without beef.

Chicken Tikka Masala

RATING: ❄❄❄❄⚫

Chicken Tikka Masala ($8.25) features cardamom basmati rice, lemon raita, cilantro, and garlic naan crumble. It’s got a good amount of heat to it and a really well-rounded and robust flavor profile. This is a fun one to try to get your senses tingling.

Churro Toffee Cold Brew Latte

RATING: ❄❄❄⚫⚫

Churro Toffee Cold Brew Latte ($6.75) features Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Co. Mexico Origin Blend Coffee, coffee liqueur, demerara, cinnamon sugar, vanilla bean, and almond milk garnished with churro syrup, whipped cream, and chocolate toffee crumbles. Ours was pretty coffee-forward but still sweet. An alcoholic version is available for $16.

Lox & Everything Bagel Nachos

RATING: ❄❄❄⚫⚫

Lox & Everything Bagel Nachos ($8.50) we’ve had in previous years and found it to be pretty good although it didn’t knock our socks off. There’s a good portion of salmon and the “everything” relish on top is a great flavor booster but the amount of cream cheese was severely lacking. Nobody wants bare bagel chips.
