Bao Brewhouse of Denver, Colorado is bringing soup dumplings from the restaurant to home freezers in the USA with its new frozen Dump’d Dumplings line that is now being shipped in sample bundles direct to consumers.
For five years, Bao Brewhouse has been a staple of the Denver food scene. Michael Swift, an award winning chef and culinary innovator, saw an opportunity to take his most in-demand item to a national audience.
“A million dumplings out of one restaurant proves people are craving something different,” said Swift, founder of Bao Brewhouse and Dump’d Dumplings. “Dump’d is our answer to boring frozen food. We’re taking the flavors that made us a local obsession and bringing them to freezers nationwide.”
To expand beyond the restaurant, Swift partnered with longtime friend and serial entrepreneur Shawn Sabo, known for launching multiple successful consumer brands including Beatport, Evolab, Manufactured Superstars and Beta Nightclub.
“Michael didn’t just create a product – he created momentum – a new interest,” said Sabo, chief executive officer of Dump’d Dumplings. “From day one, I knew we had something special. Dump’d isn’t playing the same game as traditional Asian dumpling brands, and we’re not chasing authenticity. The goal is to create something entirely new that’s American-made, globally inspired and bold.”
Here’s the lineup: Kobe Beef Dumpling – The Heavyweight; Cheeseburger Dumpling – The Rebel; Pork Soup Dumpling – The OG; Philly Cheesesteak – The Philly; Buffalo Garlic Chicken – Hot Wings in a Dumpling; Chicken Lemongrass – Lemongrass Lightning; Mushroom Dumpling – The Plant-Based Player; BIG on Pig – Spicy Pork Dumpling.
Each variety blends global street food inspiration with American flavor innovation. Nationwide shipping from Denver is available to anywhere in the lower 48 states, typically within 24 to 48 hours.
