Winner of Best of DwellSocial 2024: Best restaurant to have an at-home cultural experience When Jen Guidote sat with her sister during chemo treatments several years back, the two would talk about opening a restaurant. What type of restaurant? The two women landed on a family–and cultural favorite–empanadas. And Savory Crust was born. Opened in 2017, Savory Crust has baked, never fried, empanadas with delicious flavors and fillings that pay homage to the womens’ Filipino roots. Savory and sweet fillings, such as oxtail and beef shank stew with achara–a traditional green papaya relish. The delightful flavors can be found at food truck stops, throughout the city at street, food, and music festivals–or at your home via DwellSocial, where you don’t have to wait in line.
