In addition to returning favorites like Dan & John’s Wings, Butter & Scotch and Carnal, Ramen Burger, the following exciting new vendors will join the culinary lineup on Breeze Hill come Sunday:

#Baonanas
The name is play on the Chinese word “bao,” which means“baby” or “precious treasure” but also can mean “to be full with love or food.” #Baonanas specializes in banana pudding served by the scoop. Flavors include traditional banana, strawberry, s’mores, and matcha.

Big Mozz Pizza
The team behind Big Mozz is firing up Neapolitan pizza this summer. They worked with a family owned shop in Maine to create custom copperclad

Diego’s Artisan Chocolate
Diego uses a recipe learned from his grandmother to produce chocolate in Guatemala, a tradition that spans thousands of years for producers in the chocolate belt. They purchase beans directly from smallscale, local farmers, and do all of the roasting themselves. They even color the labels by hand!

Fedoroff’s South Philly Cheesesteaks
Keeping things simple with cheesesteaks done South Philly style. If the name sounds familiar, it might be because Dave Fedoroff also runs the very popular Fedoroff’s Roast Pork stand that launched last year at Smorgasburg.

Kimchi Kooks
Using recipes dating back to Kate Kooks grandfather’s rice wine brewery in Korea, the mother and son team behind Kimchi Kooks make small batch kimchi. In addition to the kimchi sold in jars, they developed a menu to showcase their fermented products, including kimchi mung bean pancakes and kimchi dumplings.

Kotti

Red Table Catering
Red Table wants to improve the reputation of the humble English muffin by making breakfast sandwiches completely from scratch–from the English muffins to the housemade cheddarancho beer cheese to the inhouse ground & seasoned maple sausage patty. All of these ingredients are combined to make a melty, messy, delicious sandwich.

Rubyzaar Baked
Rubyzaar Baked bakes cookies inspired by some of their favorite tunes. The cookie menu includes the Midnight Train to Georgia, with peaches, pecans, maple and dark chocolate; the Ginger Baker with crystallized ginger, cranberries, and cinnamon; and the Keith Moonpie with burnt marshmallows, crushed graham crackers and dark chocolate. You’ll also find Rubyzaar at the Stand Coffee//Smorgasburg popup at the new Samsung 837 store in Chelsea.
