Today’s Five Finds on Friday come from Sidney Hall, who this week opened Moon Maiden’s Delights, a sprouted grain, gluten-free and vegan bakery in York Place on the downtown mall. Hall has baked professionally for nine years, and says she “loves to surprise people with how delicious and nourishing a food category can be that is often compared to cardboard and gets many an eye roll.” Open today 8-3. Hall’s picks:

1) Colima Volcan De Fuego Coffee from Shark Mountain Coffee. “I don’t wake up for anything except this glorious sweet coffee nectar that brings me to life.”

2) Sous Poulet from Pearl Island. “The farmer’s market is a super fun place to work. Especially fun when I get a free moment and can mow down some delicious and aromatic, tomato-y stewed chicken with a heaping side of vinegared kale and watermelon turnips…or is it radishes? Anyways, I know what you’re thinking.”

3) La Cura Loca from The Bebedero. “Scorpion infused mezcal, limoncello, and brown ale. Being a server at The Bebedero granted me a lot of amazing opportunities to taste interesting cocktails. This one was so damn good.”

4) Late Night Pork Tacos from C&O. “These seem like a long lost distant memory to me, as I keep baking hours now, so no more staying out past 11. But, I might do it just one more time for these juicy beauties topped with vinegar dredged slaw.”

5) Quail Stuffed with Mushrooms and Pistachios, Sauteed Endive, Quail Jus from Fleurie. “This is definitely the way to start off a meal. Such rich flavors and enjoyable textures. Pistachios plus mushrooms plus quail is a heavenly bite each time.”

Today’s Five Finds on Friday come from Clare Terni of Ten Course Hospitality and The Whiskey Jar. For Breast Cancer Awareness month, all through October each restaurant of Ten Course Hospitality is donating proceeds from its best selling items to breast cancer research, and there’s still time to help the cause while enjoying something delicious. At The Whiskey Jar, it’s the Courthouse Sandwich and The Blushing Bride cocktail, while the options at the group’s other restaurants are here: Brasserie Saison, Revolutionary Soup, The Pie Chest, The Bededero, Commonwealth, and Draft. Terni’s picks:

1) Paletas from La Flor Michoacana. “Chamoy Mango is the best.”

2) Cinnamon Toast Crunch S’mores Bars from Foods of All Nations bakery. “They started making these a few months ago. My inner fat kid pretty much died and went to heaven.”

3) IVP Banh Mi at Ivy Provisions. “I can’t eat a whole one, but the pate and cabbage combo is excellent.”

4) Cheese Sauce on nachos at The Bebedero. “I totally want to die in a vat of that cheese sauce, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas style.”

5) Egg Salad Sandwiches at home made with Weber’s Horseradish Mustard from Wegmans. “That mustard is a game-changer for so many foods. It makes egg salad taste like the best damn deviled eggs you ever ate.
