Sivan Wilensky, founder of the dangerously tasty Suite Foods Belgian wafflery in 331 Cortland, invites all of Bernal to help stuff the online ballot box [like, now], because Suite Foods Baking is a finalist to receive a business development grant from the Whole Foods supermarket chain:
We were selected as a finalist to receive a local foodmaker grant from Whole Foods. The winner of the grant will be decided by voting on the Redwood City Whole Foods FB page. We’re going up against some impressive-looking businesses so I’m hoping you can help us gather support from the Bernal community. Here’s the page where the voting is happening, and I believe the deadline is Wednesday. The grant amount will be equal to 5% of the store sales on July 2nd.
Here’s the process:
1. You need a Facebook acct,
2. You need to “like” the Whole Foods Redwood City page
3. Then you vote.

Break Brittle – 14
Vita Vis Nutrition – 0
Thanks, Smiley Dan!!
Hi everyone! Sivan here. I know we’re a bit of a long shot right now, but with the support of Bernal Nation I think we have a chance. We just got word that we’ve been accepted as a vendor at Outside Lands this year, which is awesome but has quite a few upfront costs. This grant from Whole Foods would go a long way towards covering deposits, health permits, and the wafflization of a food cart that will become the most wafflely waffle cart ever!
Voting ends tonight at midnight so please vote and get your friends/loved ones/enemies to vote as well!
