Squareat
The thing about food is it’s usually shaped like the thing it is. But imagine a future where food is not shaped like that but rather it’s all one shape and that shape is square. Now imagine that the future is already here, and the company that brought it here is called Squareat. The words Square and Eat, combined, into one word.
Off Limits
Cereal can be many things to many people. But Off Limits makes four flavors of cereal that’s more specific. Vegan, gluten-free, and daring in its choices, it represents a view of our culture that is fun, progressive, actualized, and has a strong point of view. And I, for one, am here for it. Grab your spoon.
Momofuku
Hey do you want to get in on some of these Dried Noodles from world-famous chef David Chang’s restaurant, Momofuku? Well TOO BAD because you CAN’T. They’ve sold out TWICE and you really SHAT THE BED on this one, but luckily, we didn’t shit the bed, we nabbed some Chang noods and slurped em up. HELL YEAH. Please enjoy our review.
Deux
There’s nothing like a fresh-baked, homemade cookie. But to bake the cookie, you gotta have the dough. That’s where this week’s product starts: it’s cookie dough in a jar, it’s vegan and gluten-free, you can eat it with a spoon but most importantly, you bake it. It’s spelled D-E-U-X but they call it “Dough” which I object to but here we are. Let’s bake some cookies.
Bearded Brothers
It’s a food, it’s a bar, it’s a food bar and it’s from Bearded Brothers, which is a company in Austin with two actual brothers who have beards. We’re going to try those food bars. They come in flavors and we’ll try them. Along the way, we’ll learn, we’ll laugh, we’ll do ratings about them, toward the end. Food bars!
Food Pockets
Some of the world’s best food comes in little pockets. Tiny pouches of self-contained goodness. Some of it’s hot like the soup dumplings from Xiao Chi Jie, cheesy like Snow Days pizza bites, or gooey like Chubby PB&J. We’ll have a three-course meal today, so open up and take a bite or whatever.
Ice Creams
I scream, you scream, let’s all scream because we’re so we’re all so frickin’ hungry and the world is let’s be honest kind of a scary place right now and so in order to get through this we’re gonna need a little more joy from the simple things, which is why Brave Robot and McConnell’s made dairy-free ice cream. Delicious.

Ramen Hero
Do you know about the concept of honkaku? It’s authenticity and adherence to the principle of quality and truth and integrity in craftsmanship. It’s the basis of this podcast but also, it’s the core of Ramen Hero, a ramen meal kit company that ships ramen to you so you too can be honkaku. Be a ramen hero.
Fishwife
“Fishwife” in the 16th century meant the daughters and wives of fishermen who sold fish at market. Fishwife in the 21st century is a hot DTC Instagram brand of ethically sourced tinned fish that come direct to your doorstep and goes real nice on a cracker. Fish is on the menu today so…let’s get fishy I guess.
Kencko
Michael Pollan said “Eat food, not too much, mostly plants.” A company called Kencko makes it easy to do just that in powder form, giving you a super tasty way to get your daily dose of fruits and veggies in smoothies that take like 30 seconds to make. Shake what your momma gave you.
Snack Pack
It’s snacktime, All Consumers. Time to fill your snackholes with morsels of regret, and talk about it for the content. Today we do pork rinds without pork, beef jerky without beef, and meal bars without the meal, in search of the perfect way to make ourselves whole, nutritionally and emotionally.
