Empire Mayonnaise
The concept was created by designer Elizabeth Valleau who teamed up with New York City chef Sam Mason to execute the idea of making mayonnaise in an untraditional way. Their debut last year at the Smorgasburg market was a huge success with flavors like Black Garlic, Vadouvan (French Curry Masala) and Lime Pickle. The grand opening of the shop included free samples and giveaways.
