One cannot live on tequila alone, said no one ever. In all seriousness, The Pastry War does not serve pastries, but does offer spiced grasshoppers and worm salt-coated oranges. Luckily, if you find yourself in need of more nourishment than insects, The Pastry War has some of the best tamales for late-night munching. Made specially for The Pastry War and delivered daily, the tamales come in orders of three in either pork or chicken.

The bar menu at Underbelly pays homage to chef Chris Shepherd’s favorite dishes from chefs who have inspired him. Six different dishes ranging from hog and hominy poutine to Peche’s smoked fish dip can be enjoyed in Underbelly’s rustic bar area. However, the must-have dish is Shepherd’s famous braised goat and dumplings with tender shredded goat in a rich and spicy gojuchang sauce.
