Mae’s Market and Cafe is open. You all have been so wonderfully supportive as we have slowly worked on our menu, added more tables, and scrambled (literally) to fill our bodega shelves (stinking supply chains)! Every day brings us a little closer to what we envision the space to truly be; a neighborhood joint where you can come and grab a bite to eat, a few items to fill your pantry at home, a prepared foods dinner, maybe something sweet, and a delicious coffee. (Yes, beer, wine, and cocktails are also on the near horizon).

I also finally have a space large enough to fulfill a dream of my own! I hate going to big-box groceries around Thanksgiving. It makes me break out in hives. So, let’s all skip it this year. Mae’s Market will have free-range, organic, antibiotic-free D’Aartagnan Turkeys available for holiday pre-order. Plan ahead and choose your entrée for Thanksgiving. I posted here about the importance of selecting a good turkey at Thanksgiving. We will be taking orders starting this week in person or online and will have delivery a week in advance of the holiday to avoid shipping during the busiest time of the year. They will be fresh, not frozen. 

8-10 pounds (serves 6 to 8) $62.50

10-12 pounds (serves 8 to 10) $75.00

We will also have a flavor kit including salt, thyme, onions, carrots, and celery, plus - tips on how to properly cook your turkey! To make your day even easier, our kitchen is preparing a bevy of sides and pies! All you have to do is reheat and take all the credit! We are so excited to launch this program and hope to make the holiday season a little less stressful this year and in the future!
