On this week’s edition, we’ve got news about SapSap's opening of their brick and mortar restaurant in Racine, the Caribbean-inspired food truck El Sazón Dominicano, a new southern restaurant called Tupelo Honey coming to Third Ward and Juneteenth food traditions.
We kick things off by talking about SapSap bringing Laotian cuisine to Racine with their new brick and mortar restaurant located at 2343 Mead Street. Online pre-order is now open for carry-out through this Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 7 pm. They will roll out a full menu and begin dine-in soon. In the meantime, you can order some of their favorites including Lao jerky, Mamma's eggrolls, Korean fried chicken wings, charred skirt steak, SapSap sausage, Isan half chicken, fried chicken Bahn Mi, fish sauce-salted caramel brownies and more.
