Eagle St. Rooftop Farmers Get ‘Chili’ at Egg
Eagle Street Rooftop Farm is at it again and you definitely don’t want to miss this. Last weekend several pounds of chili peppers were processed to make “Awesome Sauce” from peppers grown on the rooftop farm located atop of Broadway Stages film studio in Greenpoint.
Named "Awesome Sauce" for obvious reasons (hello! it's delicious!) the chili processing was conducted at Egg Restaurant, who graciously provided use of their space. As a gesture of gratitude, Egg receives two cases of Awesome Sauce (time to make a reservation at Egg). Awesome Sauce will be sold at the next Eagle Street Rooftop Farmers Market on October 19th at roughly $8.00 per bottle. Awesome Sauce will also be sold at third party winter farmers markets. So what’s the secret for this awesome sauce… well all we can tell you is that they use Cayenne, Red Jalapenos, and Numex (a hyrbid pepper)... the rest is a secret! Head over the the Eagle Street Rooftop Farmers Market on October 19th and purchase some Awesome Sauce and some of their amazing produce, and definitely make a reservation at Egg and don’t forger to ask for the Awesome Sauce.
Broadway Stage is proud to play a part in urban farming. Giving back to our community is just what we do and Eagle Street Rooftop Farm is a big part of the environmentally sustainable equation. Thanks to Annie Novak and her team of volunteers who keep the rooftop farm thriving!
