MISSION—SF-based startup Dough & Co. has done the impossible: created a chocolate-chip cookie dough that tastes perfect but uses no eggs, for salmonella-free raw snacking. Now owner Omar Mamoon, whose dough is served at Little Star and Gott's Roadside, among other local spots, is Kickstarting to expand his operation. Rewards include cookie kits and dough, up to a year's supply in the latter case. [EaterWire]
