Most popular: The Bison Sausage Sandwich ($8), a tough but lean bison sausage lathered in a homemade cranberry relish, on a fresh egg bun from Wild Flour Bakery in Northeast Philadelphia.

Grab it while it lasts: Salads ($5) vary every day and run out quickly. Options may include a Marinated Mushroom Salad with peppers, onions and garlic, or the Squash Blossom Salad, tossed with pepitas in a lemon vinaigrette and topped with queso fresco.

Eat on the go: Choose from two empanada flavors: Sweet Potato Empanada is a combination of spuds, cream cheese, maple syrup and nutmeg that really packs a punch; the Mushroom Empanada is mixed with cream cheese and thyme. Each rings in at $3.

What's in the name? Zea mays is the scientific term for corn.
