Sandwiches, Pop-Ups and Entrepreneurial Inspiration with Pom Pom’s Teahouse

By Christina Thomas Leave a Comment

Sandwiches, Pop-Ups and Entrepreneurial Inspiration with Pom Pom's Teahouse owner Pom Moongauklang, Orlando's Sandwich Queen

Get ready for a bit of food, travel, and entrepreneurial inspiration with Orlando’s Sandwich Queen!

Ask anyone who lives in Orlando to name the best place to get sandwiches in The City Beautiful, and chances are Pom Pom’s Teahouse and Sandwicheria will be at the top of that list.

I recently visited with Pom Moongauklang, the owner of this iconic sandwich shop in The Milk District and I have the most delicious conversation to share with you.

We talked about food and travel inspiration – including her one night only “Pomisaan” pop-up which is a veritable taste buds journey back to her Northern Thailand roots. She shared her go-to for easy entertaining at home, what’s on her “someday list” and her advice for other entrepreneurs like her.

I’m a fan of entrepreneurs’ start-up stories, especially of women in the food industry. In 2021, I’m turning to amazing female entrepreneurs for inspiration. (Check out Mayor’s Project Pop, Evette’s Sister Honey’s and Sheila’s B Cupcakes for more women chefs and entrepreneurs who rock!)

Let me introduce you to Pom Moongauklang, the spirited force behind the award-winning, Pom Pom’s Teahouse and Sandwicheria. Her mom nicknamed her “Pom Pom” because one “Pom” just wasn’t enough. When you meet her you’ll see why. Her personality is bigger than life!

This is Pom. One of the female chefs and food’preneurs in Orlando you should know!

Whether you’re looking for the best sandwiches and tea blends to enjoy at any time, including late-night, thinking about your “someday list”, indulging in virtual travel inspiration via your taste buds, or considering your next move in life, I hope you’ll be inspired by this post to #MakeSomedayHappen one delicious bite, sip, and trip at a time.  

Let’s go!

Pom Pom’s Teahouse Day in Orlando!

Pom Pom’s Teahouse celebrated its 15th Anniversary on January 6th, 2021, and the day was declared “Pom Pom’s Teahouse Day” by Buddy Dyer, the Mayor of Orlando! That’s what you call being an indelible part of the city. Over the years, the restaurant has been a haven not only for those hungry for the tastiest sandwiches but for community connections.

What To Order at Pom Pom’s Teahouse and Sandwicheria?

There are over two dozen different pressed sandwiches on the menu to choose from. And while you’ll find classic staples such as grilled cheese (called a Cheese Melt), this one is made with four kinds of cheeses!

Most sandwiches are inventive and require you to allow your taste buds to go a little wild. If you’re wary, don’t worry. Just trust Pom!

The Fu Man Chu with Asian Pulled Pork, Arugula, Goat Cheese, Ginger Cranberry Chutney, & Red Onions is inspired. One of my favorites!

The Fu Man Chu!

If you’re a fan of funky PB&Js, get The Spicy Elvis with Banana, Bacon, Strawberry Jelly, & Cayenne Peanut Butter. Oh my!

Pair your sandwich with the tea of the day or choose from over 30 house blends. Ask for recommendations. You’ll find some fun blends like Pina Colada and Chocolate Hazelnut.

The menu also includes salads, desserts, and even breakfast items for late nights on the weekends.

There’s a Secret Vegan Menu.

Everyone is welcome at Pom Pom’s, including anyone who follows a vegan or plant-based diet. Simply ask for the vegan menu, which gives you order tips for teas, breakfasts and sandwiches.

The Milk District launched “The Almond Milk District” promotion for “veganuary” promotion this past January where 16 businesses including Pom Pom’s featured vegan dishes. The best part is that these vegan offerings are here to stay.

Pom Pom's Teahouse secret vegan menu

Three favorite vegan sandwiches: the Dreamwich with peanut noodles, ginger cranberry chutney, arugula, and red onions. The Vegan Pom with carrots, daikon, cilantro, cucumber, alfalfa sprouts, and creamy peanut dressing is like vegan bahn mi. The Tuscan Melt with sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, black olives, and red onions.

As a chef and food’preneur, food is an important part of your life.  What inspired you to share your passion for food with the world?

“The Pom Pom’s concept was inspired by the fact that after working in a hot kitchen all night at either Nobu &/or Lucky Chengs in New York City, all we wanted was a simple sandwich from a deli and to talk about our shift before going home. This is why I geared towards industry customers from the start” Says Moongauklang.

Pom mentions casually restaurant powerhouses Nobu (Robert DeNiro and Nobu Matsuhisa’s iconic NYC flagship) and Lucky Cheng’s, the famous NYC drag show destination restaurant. Truth is, she made her mark there. At Lucky Cheng’s she was the only female executive chef.

When she returned to Orlando, she opened popular Asian taco fusion Tako Cheena (and sold it) and then opened Pom Pom’s Teahouse in 2005.

She became a pastry chef because she wanted a challenge. And while she’s a pastry chef by trade, she’s a rebel in the kitchen. Her sandwich creations were often inspired by the dishes she created at Nobu.

Why a Teahouse?

“I learned how to cook with tea and all the medicinal properties of it. At Nobu, I learned how to incorporate teas into desserts and sweet & savory dishes and I was just so fascinated by it all.” she says.

Tell me something about Pom Poms that you wish everyone knew?  

“We have at least a dozen local vendors supported in the shop on a daily basis, which includes but is not limited to artists & bakers. I do my best to always support local!” she says enthusiastically.

The “Walls of Pom Pom’s” are a Must See as she spotlights local visual artists. If you like the art, you can buy it and take it home. 

Sandwiches, Pop-Ups and Entrepreneurial Inspiration with Pom Pom's Teahouse owner Pom Moongauklang, Orlando's Sandwich Queen

What’s the MUST EAT and MUST DRINK item on your menu that everyone should try at least once in their life?

“Any SPECIAL Sandwich that I do, because they aren’t available all the time. For example, I have a delicious sandwich called “Dazed and Confused” with Spicy Peanut Butter, Strawberry Jelly, Bacon & Brisket…it is sooooo gooood.” she says.

And now I’m hungry.

Sandwiches, Pop-Ups and Entrepreneurial Inspiration with Pom Pom's Teahouse owner Pom Moongauklang, Orlando's Sandwich Queen

Is there an item on our menu that brings back great memories?   

Pom shares: “Mama Ling Ling’s Thanksgiving Sandwich was added to the menu as a homage to my mother, Liam Moonguaklang. Thanksgiving dinner was the first meal my mother made when we moved to California from Thailand. It always made me feel close to her.”

Mama Ling Ling’s is probably the most popular sandwich in Orlando. Available year-round, it’s a full Thanksgiving meal in sandwich form. It combines roasted turkey, melted gouda cheese, corn stuffing, an addictive ginger cranberry chutney punched up with fall spices, mashed potatoes, and cream cheese with a side of gravy.

Her sandwich-making technique layers and spreads every ingredient to cover every inch of pressed crisp yet soft bread as if it was a beautiful cake. Every bite is the perfect bite melding all flavors together. Don’t miss dipping in the unctuous gravy.

As we talk about home, I’m curious about your go-to dish and drink pairing for easy entertaining family and friends? 

“My go-to is making a 6 hours rich Bolognese sauce served over bucatini paired with a delicious Japanese Whiskey,” she says.

My only follow up question is “what time is dinner?”

Sandwiches, Pop-Ups and Entrepreneurial Inspiration with Pom Pom's Teahouse owner Pom Moongauklang, Orlando's Sandwich Queen

Eating great food usually comes with a sense of place. Where is the most unique or interesting place you’ve ever enjoyed a sandwich or a cup of tea? 

“25 years ago, living in the Lower East Side in NYC, Katz Deli was probably the most interesting place I ever ate a sandwich but honestly, Pom Pom’s is the best for people watching, noshing, meeting up with friends, sitting next to a judge, a local or national celebrity & checking out new artists’ work on the walls.  You never know who’s coming through those doors.”

Keep your eyes open for the fun vibe all around you at Pom Pom’s Teahouse

We’ve all missed traveling during this pandemic. When travel opens up, where do you wish to go first? 

“I wish I could go to Greece with my operations manager, Kerrie Finn. After going through this last year, we deserve to get away.”

As a woman-owned small business, what is your advice to other entrepreneurs who are inspired by your story? 

“You have to be able to be flexible and ready to make any changes. Knowing that, in this industry things will pop up when you least expect it. Something that I was familiar with prior to the pandemic but it is absolutely the thing that has helped me stay open during the entire course of it.”

Do you have a favorite inspirational quote? It could be about food or not, it could even be a funny quote. It’s up to you.

“This too shall pass” 

Last year despite the challenges you powered through and got creative. What did you learn?

“Doing whatever we have to, to keep this shop sailing.”

What is at the top of your “someday list” that you hope to check off soon and #MakeSomedayHappen 

“The biggest thing I want to make happen someday, is to have a Pom Pom’s Teahouse and Sandwicheria at the airport. It’s always a dream of mine” she shares.

I can’t wait to see her Make Someday Happen!

What’s Next in 2021?

“Pomisaan” Pop Up!

Pom was born and raised in the Isan northern region of Thailand. Like most of us during this pandemic, she’s been craving comfort foods that remind her of home. For one night only she took over her own kitchen, set aside the sandwich press, and served a special feast of Isan dishes.

“Don’t call it “Thai” – call it Isan!” She tells me when I met her in her commissary kitchen to sample some of the dishes.

The cuisine is different from what we normally find in Thai restaurants with a Bangkok influence. In the northern region, they use more herbs, roots, and spices. It’s very healthy good for you food. Good for your digestion. Light and flavorful.

She shares: “Being healthy is more important than ever. Dishes are clean and comforting that anyone can enjoy.”

This concept has been in the works for a while. If it is well received, it may turn into something more. Possibly more pop ups or even a ghost kitchen delivery concept.

Based on what I tasted, I hope it sticks around.

From Approachable To Daring:

The most approachable dish, and also the only one I was familiar with, Kao Mun Gai serves up steamed chicken topped with roasted garlic, cilantro, and scallions, on a bed of ginger jasmine rice. It’s accompanied by two flavorful sauces for dipping; a fermented soybean sauce and a homemade sweet chili sauce. Sides include a steamed Napa cabbage and a light broth vegetable soup.

Pomisaan pop up at Pom Pom's Teahouse

On the opposite end of the familiar scale but equally tasty, was Ha Mok Pla. Red curry cod souffle, steamed in banana leaf, made with kaffir lime, topped with coconut cream. Served with steamed Napa cabbage, and ginger rice. The flavors were intense and concentrated. Pom recommends eating it in 7-10 small bites. ​

Pomisaan pop up at Pom Pom's Teahouse

I had a tough time choosing a favorite. But cold noodles – Kuay Tiew Haeng – tossed in sweet soy, fermented soy, and mushroom soy with bean sprouts and plenty of cilantro, roasted garlic, green onions, and peanuts was bright, fresh and so addictive.

I hope you found a bit of delicious inspiration from Pom’s story and insights. If you know any women food’preneurs with an inspiring story, please message me. I would love to meet them! 

“There’s something so special about a woman who dominates in a man’s world. It takes a certain grace, strength, intelligence, fearlessness, and the nerve to never take no for an answer.

Rihanna

"Only one way to cover a story like this, and make "Only one way to cover a story like this, and make that a double, bartender, please." - P. J. O'Rourke⠀
⠀
It's #WorldBartenderDay Let's give a BIG shoutout to all the fantastic bartenders out there keeping us hydrated with their boozy concoctions and mesmerized with their craft mastery. And although drinking has probably gone up, it's been a tough year for those in the bar industry. ⠀
⠀
It was so fun to meet PJ Smerechansky @the_alcohol_alchemist during a visit to @theedisonfla a few years ago. He wowed us with inventive takes on classic cocktails like this fantastic @basilhaydens Old Fashioned garnished with a fragrant basil leaf. ⠀
⠀
I'm not surprised to learn PJ is in the "Top 50 Bartenders" in the country, currently competing in the @usbg @worldclassus competition sponsored by @diageo to be named "Bartender of The Year"! ⠀
⠀
He's already a winner in my book but let's cheer him on to bring this title home to Orlando! ⠀
⠀
Go visit him at The Edison at @disneysprings Thursday-Sunday's and ask him to make you something special from his new "High Roller" menu! ⠀
⠀

⠀
It’s #NationalDrinkWineDay or simply #ThirstyThursday 🤣🍷 What’s your go-to wine? ⠀
⠀
For every day, casual fun, I choose no-fuss wines that drink well on their own and pair with whatever we got on the table. A bottle of Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, or a red blend always do the trick.⠀
⠀
That’s why we love @ckmondaviwines and why I’ve continued to be a proud ambassador of their wines for over 5 years. They just celebrated 75 years making wine for 4 generations and the people behind the brand are the nicest.⠀
⠀
Here’s my other go-to for easy entertaining:⠀
⠀
A Caprese Salad with vine ripe tomatoes and fresh Orlando local made @freshmozzarellausa by the Dicuro family (also the nicest people!)⠀
⠀
Top with fresh herb chimichurri sauce and serve with a Tuscan loaf of bread. ⠀
⠀
👉🏼 Go to GoEpicurista.com and get the recipe for this awesome fresh herb sauce that goes on everything! Trust me. Level up steaks, fish, chicken, and veggies! ⠀

⠀
Life is indeed full of surprises. And how we handle them makes all the difference in the world. We're wearing different kinds of masks this Mardi Gras and having a different kind of celebration but I'm grateful to know that someday soon we'll be able to let the good times roll once again.⠀
⠀
This photo is a #TBT to February 2020 Mardi Gras celebration at @UniversalOrlando. Little did we know then that masks would become part of our daily wear. I couldn't even wear that one right! LOL! ⠀
⠀
Universal's Mardi Gras events have been my favorite for over 20 years. This year, they are hosting a more subdued, socially distanced appropriate "International Flavors of Carnaval" event featuring authentic cuisine inspired by the most iconic Carnival festivities across the globe. Now thru Sunday 3/28, regular admission to Universal Studios park includes fun and safe festivities. Purchase and sample 70 tasty dishes and beverages from 13 destinations around the world. ⠀
⠀
Of course, there's Cajun fare with flavors from The Big Easy like Crawfish Boil, Jambalaya, and Beignets! You'll also find Classic Carnaval dishes from Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, Bahamas, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Cuba, Italy, France and more!⠀
⠀
Check out the Mardi Gras floats stationed throughout the theme park, enjoy a Big Easy bash in the streets with energetic dancers and stilt performers in extraordinary costumes, brass band musicians, countless beads and a newly-themed Mardi Gras Tribute Store.⠀
⠀
Stay safe, Be kind. Wear a Mask! ⠀

“If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris “If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.” - Ernest Hemingway (hosted) ⠀
⠀
During my recent visit to French bakery @choulalapastries this yummy pastry caught my eye: “Maple Bourbon Paris Brest” ⠀
⠀
Have you tried a Paris Brest? I had to google what it was! ⠀
⠀
The choux pastry shaped like a wheel is traditionally filled with praline flavored cream. It was invented by Louis Durand, pâtissier of Maisons-Laffitte, in 1910 to promote the bicycle race from Paris to Brest, a town in the north west of France. ⠀
⠀
You can certainly say this is a “moveable feast”! ⠀
⠀
At Choulala, @chefstephsteph fills the flaky pastry with a decadent Maple Bourbon cream, topped with lots of crunchy toasted almonds and powdered sugar. It was such a lovely contrast of flavors and textures. ⠀
⠀
Paris is on my Top 5 places to visit someday. For now I’ll let my taste buds take me there and maybe I’ll find the time to finally read Hemingway’s beloved memoir about his time in Paris there for added travel inspiration. ⠀
⠀
It’s #NationalAlmondDay what’s your favorite almond topped treat? ⠀
⠀
Stop by Choulala (like ooh la la!) at one of 3 locations and have a Paris inspired feast! ⠀

As 2021 keeps rolling along, I continue to turn to amazing female entrepreneurs for a bit of food, travel and entrepreneurship inspiration. Luckily, Orlando has so many strong women to know and I’m just getting started in my series about “Inspiring Women in the Orlando Food Industry” on GoEpicurista.com ⠀
⠀
My latest chat is with Sue Buttery, the dynamic owner of @juicebarorlando in @TheMilkDistrict ⠀

She had some awesome tips about clean eating and how to do a juice cleanse right. She shared her travel dreams, what tops her “someday list” and fantastic entrepreneurship advice. ⠀

⠀
We had the most decadent dinner at A Land Remembered, the fine dining restaurant at @rosenshinglecreek which ended with this indulgent flourless chocolate mousse cake!⠀
⠀
We took advantage to enjoy the great weather we’re having and sat outdoors on the veranda overlooking the beautiful grounds and golf course. It felt like being back home. ⠀
⠀
The flagship resort of beloved local hotel company @rosenhotels had been closed since the pandemic began last March and just reopened this week. Yet the restaurant staff did not skip a beat, providing the same exceptional service and expertly executed dishes they've been known for since they opened in 2006. ⠀
⠀
ALR (A Land Remembered) is one of the hidden gem restaurants in Orlando that locals may forget because it's tucked inside this sprawling resort. If you haven't been, it's time to go! ⠀
⠀
Scroll to see our scrumptious dinner. We started with scallops and the best jumbo lump crab cake in town. Followed by lobster bisque & wedge salad. For entrees, the Surf & Turf with Filet and Lobster and the buttery Sea Bass with Lobster Mac n' Cheese and asparagus on the side. We were stuffed but could not skip the bread pudding with rum raisin ice cream and that decadent cake! ⠀
⠀

"I have the right to life, liberty and chicken win "I have the right to life, liberty and chicken wings." - Mindy Kaling⠀
⠀
It's Super Bowl Sunday! The biggest chicken wing consuming day of the year! Fun Fact: over 1.25 BILLION wings are consumed on this day alone in the US! ⠀
⠀
As much as I love traditional Buffalo wings, here are a few favorite wings around Orlando with a unique global flair and one classic Buffalo that left my lips on fire, craving more! ⠀
⠀
@ssontheroll in @historicdowntownsanford Korean style crispy wings are packed with flavor! Enjoy in the patio with a cold beer from @celerycitycraft⠀
⠀
@yeomanscaskandlion "Cambridge Wings" are addictive at this British pub in @promenadeatsunsetwalk in Kissimmee! Slow oven baked then seared on the grill, tossed in Buffalo sauce or my favorite, Coconut Curry Sauce. Pair with a crisp cider or Boddington's on tap. ⠀
⠀
@domufl in EastEndMkt wings have become so popular they now have @DomuWings virtual delivery!  Extra Extra Crispy coated in kimchi butter sauce. Addictive like candy! Pair with Sriracha Bloody Mary for brunch!⠀
⠀
@eathawkers Korean twice-fried wings in garlic gochujang, topped with peanuts, cilantro and sesame are the bomb! Also get Hawker's Wings with sweet Thai chili, Hainanese, honey sriracha, spring onion ginger or a five-spice rub. Pair with Sapporo beer.⠀
⠀
@raglanroadpub at @disneysprings "Nom Nom" sweet 'n' spicy wings tossed in a honey, chili flake, soy & ginger sauce. Pair with Guinness of course! ⠀
⠀
@parkpizzalakenona Oak-Fired Chicken Wings Reverse Buffalo (my favorite), Cajun, Sticky Thai, Carolina Reaper, or Mango Habanero. Pair with a house-crafted beer. ⠀
⠀
Yuzu Miso Wings at @japanpavilionmitsukoshiusa Katsura Grill at Epcot, a peaceful hidden gem to grab a bite. ⠀
⠀
1521 Wings at @wyndhamgrandorl Resort were fiery good! The kind you can smell spicy before you take a bite. The kind you take bite after bite. They also have sweet & sticky and bourbon BBQ if you don't want to set your soul on fire. (but in a good way!) ⠀
⠀
Lastly, for plant-based meat-free eaters, @DharmaFineVittles at @marketonsouth Fried Chick'n dippers with agave pepper drizzle fooled me!!⠀
⠀
Which wings will you go for?⠀

Did you know the first Saturday in February is #IceCreamforBreakfastDay?! I think any time and any weather is a good time for ice cream! ⠀
⠀
I had a little fun during a recent visit to @sweetbyholly to pick up some scrumptious cupcakes and couldn't resist getting a soft serve ice cream topped with Nutella and caramel drizzle, and chocolate and caramel pearls. ⠀
⠀
Don't miss getting an ice cream sundae made with "Chill In Peace" Premium Ice Cream from Santa Monica, California.  There are 8 flavors, 8 toppings and 8 drizzles to choose from. Each serving comes with 2 drizzles and 2 toppings!⠀
⠀
I also had some fun with colored backgrounds taking pictures of my ice cream! Scroll to see... which one do you like best? Red, Blue, Black... ⠀

Happy Saturday Everyone! ⠀

⠀
We also sampled a few courses from their upcoming Valentine's Day Dinner Suf & Turf menu. The "Pan con Tomate" Tomato-Rubbed Bread with Iberico ham was so tasty paired with Cava Rose. The Surf & Turf with filet, lobster tail, cheesy mashed potatoes and asparagus was divine. ⠀

⠀
Just hold on! Illusions are all around us! And while #GroundhogDay tells us we have 6 more weeks of winter, there’s plenty of fun to be had in Orlando. ⠀
⠀
I was invited to check out the new @museumofillusions.orlando at @iconparkorlando on I-Drive and oh my, what a mind-bending experience that was! ⠀
⠀
We had a blast checking out over 50 exhibits that fool the eye and the mind using math, psychology, and science. Of course, taking these fun photos was hilarious. Scroll to see our favorite illusions! ⠀
⠀
It made for perfect date night fun after our dinner next door at @tapatoroorlando and it's a fun experience for the whole family. They call this “Edutainment” 😃⠀
⠀
A variety of COVID-19 safety measures are in place, including mandatory face masks, limited capacity, designated time slots reservations, one-way paths through exhibits, ongoing cleaning by staff, and hand sanitizers and wipes for guests. The experience lasted about an hour but you can be there a bit longer.⠀

One Night Only!!! If you love really good Thai foo One Night Only!!! If you love really good Thai food, you don't want to miss the "Pomisaan" Pop-Up at @pompomsteahouse tonight 2/1! ⠀
⠀
Chef / Owner Pom Moongauklang, the fiery force behind award-winning, Pom Pom’s Teahouse is taking over her own kitchen, setting aside the sandwich press and creating a dinner feast from Isaan, the Northern Thailand region where she grew up.⠀
⠀
"Don't call it "Thai" - Call it Isaan!" She tells me. The cuisine is different from what we normally find in Thai restaurants with a Bangkok influence. In the northern region, they use more herbs, roots & spices. It's very healthy "good for you" food. ⠀
⠀
I had the chance to taste the Pomisaan dishes during a visit to her commissary kitchen & had a tough time choosing a favorite. They were all bright, light, and full of flavor. The kind you just want to take one more bite. ⠀
⠀
If this pop up goes well, there may be more in the future. Go show your support. Orlando's culinary scene needs this kind of food for more than one night! ⠀
⠀
KAO MUN GAI: steamed chicken, topped with roasted garlic, cilantro, scallions, served on a bed of ginger jasmine rice. Fermented soybean and homemade sweet chili dipping sauces, Nappa cabbage, vegetable soup side. ⠀
⠀
K-NOM  JEEN “Thai spaghetti” fish pureed with lemongrass, turmeric, krachai ginger root, coconut milk, fish sauce, coconut cream, served with fresh bean sprouts, kaffir lime, Thai basil, rice vermicelli. ⠀
 ⠀
HA MOK PLA steamed in banana leaf, red curry fish made with kaffir lime, with coconut cream with Nappa cabbage, ginger rice. Fantastic, very concentrated flavors intended to eat in7-10 bites. ​⠀

LAAB with a blend of fresh maitake, shiitake, and enoki mushrooms, lime, mint, cilantro, cilantro, scallions, red onions, sweet soy, fermented soy roasted rice.⠀

“Life is what happens to us while we are making “Life is what happens to us while we are making other plans." - Allen Saunders (ad) ⠀
⠀
Boy are we being constantly reminded “life happens!”⠀
⠀
This month, I was planning to celebrate BIG. It’s the 7th Anniversary of GoEpicurista.com and I had so many projects and goals. Unfortunately untold setbacks, major plumbing issues, car troubles and a host of other challenges completely derailed my best laid plans. It was one thing after another. I had to keep reminding myself setbacks are temporary. ⠀
⠀
Creating memories and spending time with loved ones, celebrating every day, is truly the most important. So we found the time within the chaos to make a fun dinner, open a bottle of wine and celebrate! ⠀
⠀
I made my go-to chimichurri style fresh herb sauce I’ve been making for years to elevate any dish and used it on grilled surf & turf, veggies, Caprese salad and crusty Tuscan bread. ⠀
⠀
It all came together in about 15 minutes! The sauce is super versatile using fresh herbs and ingredients you have at home to adapt to your tastes. ⠀
⠀
And the sauce that goes with everything, deserves the wine that pairs with everything! ⠀
⠀
CK Mondavi & Family are celebrating their 75th Anniversary!!! Their wines at $6.99 are phenomenally approachable and affordable with great quality and value. Perfect to enjoy any time. ⠀
⠀
It’s the reason I’ve been a @ckmondaviwines ambassador since 2016! We drink these at home all the time, especially the Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.⠀
⠀
👉🏼 Check out GoEpicurista.com for the herb sauce recipe and a bunch of ways you can use it to take everything from avocado toast to grilled meats, seafood and veggies to the next level!⠀
⠀
This is Easy Entertaining. Especially for when life happens! ⠀
