Superbowl time!

This Sunday, it’s everyone’s favorite day to be a sports fan. Why? Because of the food! Let’s face it, if you don’t like sports, there’s still a good chance you like Superbowl Sunday. Chicken wings, chili, nachos, chips – it’s a junk food junkies dream! We’ve got everything to set you up for a touchdown (bad pun alert!) this Sunday …

Why not throw a fiesta this Sunday? Tacos, nachos, empanadas and frozen margaritas! This blender, by KitchenAid, makes blending cocktails quick work. It offers a  generous 56 ounce capacity pitcher which keeps crowds of thirsty fans happy!

 

It comes in Giants blue? Patriots Blue? and other colors, as well!

Are you making a big pot of chili for the hungry masses? This  slow cooker by Calphalon is the perfect receiver for your homemade chili or hot dips! Featuring a 4 or 8 quart capacity and a digital display, with a stainless steel body, this is hotter than Tom Brady’s wife.

 

Hot

hotter!

What goes better with football than beer? They’re a duet made in heaven, like peanut butter & jelly, or Hall and Oates! Sip your brews out of these 20 ounce big boy beer mugs by Anchor Hocking and you’ll be cheering at, well, anything.

Mmm.

Lastly, as you may or may not know, we have a crush on everything about our neighbors on  Bedford Avenue, The Meatball Shop. From cracking you up on Chelsea Lately, to modeling for J. Crew, these guys can do it all – and make delicious balls to boot! Their famous Buffalo Chicken Balls are making an appearance on our table this Sunday, and trust us – they are delicious! Click here for the recipe!

 

These balls are delicious!

And, just because it’s sooo funny and we are a NY store …

Tom Brady Crying!

 

WAAAAAH.

Adios, Amigos!

This post is the epitome of bittersweet. Our dear friends, Ross and Joanna, the masterminds behind the famous BaconMarmalade, are closing up shop and moving to Mallorca, Spain! We’re so excited for them (and we want to visit!) but we’re also so bummed. We will miss them terribly. And we’re going to miss the hell out of BaconMarmalade! Our burgers and sandwiches haven’t been the same since they came into our lives. I, Kari, credit BaconMarmalade with landing me my boyfriend – I made him a sandwich with BaconMarmalade on it one day for lunch, and that night he professed his love! True story! Engagement chicken, get lost! You got nothin’ on bacon! And we’re not the only ones who love it. Since we began carrying it almost two years ago, we have sold close to 1400 jars! Seriously. One thousand, four hundred jars. That’s a LOT of bacon!

Instead of mourning our loss though, we’re going to celebrate BaconMarmalade. Please join us at Whisk this Wednesday, January 25th from 6-8PM for the final BaconMarmalade offering. Ross and Joanna will be here partying, so you can thank them in person for the blessed gift of BaconMarmalade. We’ll have the very last jars available for sale in addition to BaconMarmalade cupcakes! And – one last treat!- there will be a VERY limited number of jars of the famous and elusive SPICY BaconMarmalade for sale! You might have tried it on one of our favorite pizzas over at Paulie Gee’s in Greenpoint. It’s sooooo good. This is the last of  BaconMarmalade for us, or anyone else, so stock up!

We hope to see you out that night – it will be a blast. Finally, Ross & Joanna – Thank you!! We’ll miss you (and your little dog, too!) and wish you all the best. We love you. Adios, Amigos!

If you have no clue what BaconMarmalade is, check out this killer video by another dear friend, Miss Liza DeGuia of Food:Curated!

We’re expanding!

Yes, friends, the secret is out! We are happy to officially announce that we will be opening a SECOND store in NYC this spring!

 

We will be opening on Broadway and 22nd street, in Manhattan, at 933 Broadway, in the former home of Gordon Novelty. Look how cool of a space it is!

We will have a bit more space in the new store than we have here in Williamsburg, so you know we’re going to work some Whisk magic in there! We’re hoping to add some heft to our bar and baking selections, in addition to bringing in more of the stuff you love.

We’re really excited for this new opportunity and we are grateful for all of our customers over the past 3 years for making this possible. We really appreciate and love all the support and love you’ve showed us. We love you. And, Williamsburgers – don’t fret – we’ll be staying put on Bedford Avenue for a long, long, long time.

If you are interested in job opportunties at our Whisk Flatiron location, please send us a resume at jobs@whisknyc.com.

We’re feeling a bit Jessie Spano over this … but we’re so excited! We hope you are, too.
