Support your local small independent businesses! Two biznotes today:

JET CITY BEIGNET POP-UPS: New ways to get your treats from WSB sponsor Jet City Beignet:

Starting this weekend, we will be taking pre-orders for pickup on Saturdays only, as we are beginning to pop up at various locations on Sundays.

Here’s our pop-up schedule for the next several weeks (start times are listed – we’ll fry them up until we sell out!):

10/11: Best of Hands Barrelhouse @ 1 pm
10/18: Hotwire Coffee @ 9 am
10/25: The Good Society Brewery and Public House @ 9 am
11/8: Ounces Taproom and Beer Garden for the 10 am Seahawks game

We will be offering beignets in orders of 3 or 6 at our pop-ups; orders of a dozen or more and with gourmet sauce trios will continue to be available to pick up on Saturdays via online pre-order.

The weekly pre-order deadline is 8 pm Friday.

Cool and creative moon photo! (and that beignet pic is pretty cool, too)

I’m confused. You have to order on Saturday to pick up on Sunday? Or can you show up on Sunday and just buy from what they have?

WSB October 9, 2020 (9:43 am)

The preordering is only for their Saturday pickups. The Sunday pop-ups are first-come, first-served.

I wish B’s Po Boys had been able to stay running on Alki. Po Boys and beignets are the perfect combo and while B’s were awesome with the dipping sauces, sometimes just having the old traditional Cafe Du Monde style is exactly what you want/need.

Maybe they can team up with the Crawfish House in White Center! They used to have “Mardi Gras Doughnuts” just a few doors down back in the day.
