Dump’d Dumplings Launches Nationwide, Bringing Denver’s Cult-Favorite Street-Inspired Dumplings to Freezers Across the Country

DENVER, CO [January 20, 2026] — Denver’s Bao Brewhouse is bringing their soup dumplings from the restaurant straight to freezers nationwide with their new frozen dumpling line, Dump’d Dumplings. The bold, modern and proudly “slightly unhinged” brand is now shipping direct-to-consumer, delivering globally inspired, American-made dumplings to homes nationwide, following more than one million dumplings sold through Denver’s award-winning Bao Brewhouse.

For five years, Bao Brewhouse has been a staple of Denver’s food scene, and founder Michael Swift saw an opportunity to take its most in-demand item to a national audience: “A million dumplings out of one restaurant proves people are craving something different,” said Michael 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 like Beatport, Evolab, Manufactured Superstars and Beta Nightclub. “Michael didn’t just create a product—he created momentum; a new interest.” said Shawn Sabo, CEO 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—American-made, globally inspired, bold as hell. This is stateside street food, and we’re just getting started.”

Every Dump’d dumpling is made in Denver using state-of-the-art automated equipment and hand-finished by skilled chefs. The brand prioritizes transparency and quality: premium ingredients, no fillers, no shortcuts, and no “mystery meat.”

The launch lineup features eight globally inspired, unapologetically American varieties, including Bao Brewhouse favorites while also offering new, innovative concoctions:

• 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 flavor with an American street-food twist, resulting in bold, craveable dumplings unlike anything else in the freezer aisle.

All dumplings are flash-frozen to lock in freshness and delivered nationwide within 24–48 hours, maintaining restaurant-quality taste from Denver to anywhere in the lower 48 states.

Dump’d Dumplings is now shipping across the U.S. through its direct-to-consumer website: www.dumpddumplings.com with bags starting at $39.99 or just $4 per serving.
