Welcome to Juicing Bananas Podcast - Trailer
Welcome to Juicing Bananas! The food podcast where we review the latest and greatest in meal kit delivery services.
There are 20ish nation-wide companies falling over themselves to deliver fresh food to your door; and more are cropping up all the time. We strive to bring you the best, mouthwatering food reviews and worst, grown-worthy puns. We are buying all the kits, doing all the research, and cooking our asses off.
These companies have made a science — a recipe, if you will — of just the right amount of effort, time, and recyclable waste that their consumers are willing to put up with for restaurant-quality meals at home. The logistics behind these companies are quite incredible, they responsibly source the bananas, the lettuce, the beef and then, in precisely measured quantities, ship out millions (even billions) of meals to their consumers! Each company promises to send you the meals of your dreams. These meals are promised to be what you would order from:
the barbecue joint where you have to eat outside like an animal, but it’s worth it because of the brisket — even if the coleslaw leaves something to be desired.
the pizzeria that actually tosses their crust and makes their own sauces and puts maraschino cherries on the Hawaiian (don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it).
the fish and chips stand on the pier where you visited as a kid and when you thought you were lost you peed your pants and your older (meaner) sister made fun of you for the rest of the trip.
And some of these companies actually deliver the eye-rolling mouthgasm you’ve been looking for since “stay at home” orders went into effect in your locality.
Whether we are unpacking an amazing burger or a rotten zucchini, each (well most) of these companies have an incredible story in their layered history like the stratified layers of lasagna.
Hosts Aubrey Stark and Megan Ortega believe the kitchen is where experiences worth sharing develop the most flavor. While the best parts of life can be found in the kitchen, jiu jitsu does not qualify as a “best part of life” and should be conducted outside the kitchen. If you are going to have an anaphylactic reaction, make sure you are sharing the experience with others to develop the fondest memories (and definitive care). And when you are imbibing for the first time while your parents are out of town - tequila makes a better beverage than a nasal rinse — and that’s saying something (because it makes a terrible beverage) but they’ll never tell about that one time with the cooler. . .
