This week in food news we have all your bases covered. Dinner, dessert, and a natural wine party — need we say more?

🥙 Falafel Al-Jailawi

What’s for dinner? The Falafel Al-Jailawi food truck will be parked in front of Spice on 9th now through Friday, Oct. 27. They offer shawarma, hummus, falafel, and more.

☕️ Java Spooktacular

Try a Java Spooktacular at Monkey Wrench. This handblended coffee milkshake is topped with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and scary chocolate shapes — plus it’s 100% vegan. A dollar from each shake sold will go to Clementine Ranch, an animal sanctuary in Herriman.

🍷 Hot Buns x Happy Wines

Happy Wine Club is joining forces with Hot Buns and Copper Common for a night of natural wines and delectable burgers on Friday, Oct. 27 from 9 p.m.-1 a.m.
