The Good Batch

Kids and adults alike love a Good Batch ice cream sandwich – they’re easy to hold and fun to photograph too! The Good Batch first launched as a cookie spot with Smorgasburg in 2010, and now focus on ice cream sandwiches rather than cookies. They also opened a brick and mortar location in Clinton Hill in 2014 with all kinds of delicious baked goods.

Toastieland

Toastieland was founded by Destination Dumplings’ Deon Whiskey! The idea for the business came from his travels Down Under with his Australian wife, where what we in the US know as the grilled cheese is called a “toastie.” And why not add a little color by making them rainbow with natural coloring? Deon perfected the cheeseratio with a slightly heavier melt than a standard mozzarella for that perfect cheese pull.

ABOUT SMORGASBURG

Smorgasburg is the largest weekly open-air food market in America, attracting thousands of people to Brooklyn, Manhattan, Jersey City, and Los Angeles each weekend to eat from dozens of local vendors.  It launched May 21, 2011, as a spinoff of Brooklyn Flea (founded in 2008), and has since launched dozens of small businesses and attracted millions of visitors. The New York Times dubbed Smorgasburg “The Woodstock of Eating.”
