It turns out that superheroes and ‘saints' enjoy beer and cocktails, particularly when the libations are of the non-alcoholic variety. The hosts chat about actor Tom Holland's foray into CPG with NA beer Bero, before riffing on an enlightening collaboration between an up-and-coming wine company and personal care brand. We also feature an interview with Megan Klein, the founder and CEO of Little Saints, an innovative brand of non-alcoholic cocktails infused with functional mushrooms, who recently appeared on “Shark Tank.” Little Saints markets several canned cocktails, including a Paloma, Negroni Spritz, Ginger Mule and Spicy Margarita, and also sells a mezcal-inspired spirit called St. Ember.

She also speaks about the brand's unorthodox social media strategy, why dropping CBD from the products had a big impact on sales, why the company invests heavily in Meta ads, how Little Saints navigated a controversial issue and how she prepared for an appearance on the ABC business competition show “Shark Tank.” Brands in this episode: Little Saints, Trip, Cano Water, MUYU, Bero, McBride Sisters, Swiss Miss, Hotel Tango, Aura Bora, Magnolia Bakery, Koia, Chili Maven, Allora, Quarter Proof, Climbing Kites, Outrageous, Issa's, Momofuku

Does the announcement of a new $135 million fund offer any indication about the flow of new capital in food and beverage? The hosts discuss and also highlight a Poppi-infused snack, Walgreens' private label prowess and some “notable” folks. This episode features an interview with five entrepreneurs, including the founders of Little Spoon, Four Sigmatic and O2, who are drawing upon their extensive experience, networks and resources to support emerging brands via a new venture called CPG Fast Track. Show notes: 0:35: Yosemite's Erewhon. Pop-Guac. No-tables. Mo' Money. Nice! Naked & Famous. Feed Bags. – Jacqui recounts her visit to one of America's most famous parks and its well-stocked general store, the Newton crew misread a snack recipe and poured soda into guacamole, and the hosts chat about Nosh's praise for “notable” leaders and influencers in the food industry. They also reflect on Siddhi Capital's launch of a second fund and what it means for emerging and growth-stage brands, share their takes on a well-known drug store's private label brand and compare it to those of Walmart and others, and highlight a few new products, including ramen-flavored popcorn and a canned cocktail with a nude-ish name. 37:06: CPG Fast Track Co-Founders – Launched by five industry executives – Dave Colina, founder and CEO of O2 Hydration; Jason Feifer, editor-in-chief of Entrepreneur magazine; Lisa Barnett, the co-founder of Little Spoon,; Markus Karjalainen, co-founder of Four Sigmatic; and Matthew Gartland, co-founder and CEO of SPI Media – CPG Fast Track works with entrepreneurs who are beyond the proof point phase of their businesses and beginning to scale retail presence and distribution. In this conversation, we speak with the quintet about how they are utilizing their collective experience to provide mentoring and additional forms of training to carefully selected groups of founders. Brands in this episode: O2 Hydration, Little Spoon, Four Sigmatic, Fishwife, Heyday Canning, MiLa, Mason Dixie Foods, Once Upon A Farm, Better Sour, RXBAR, DeeBee's Organics, Chomps, Poppi, Peepal People, Doosra, Paro, Momofuku, Mid-Day Squares, immi, Aura Bora, Caulipower, Olipop, Taika, Nomad Snacks, Tip Top, San Diego Bar, Gorilla
The team behind Brine, a fast casual with a location in New York City and another in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, invited 100 of the restaurant's regulars (plus some media folks) to taste test new menu items and evaluate them. Chef-partner Joe LoNigro was behind the counter as guests helped themselves to grilled chicken with a “umami” sauce, roasted Brussels sprouts, a spicy chicken sandwich, elote corn ribs, tostones and Brine's new take on its house-made Pop-Tart-inspired dessert. It will be interesting to see what makes it onto the menu, but we liked those corn ribs, grilled chicken and Brussels sprouts. Bret returned to Momofuku, celeb chef David Chang's NYC flagship, with some out-of-town friends who wanted to go for dinner. Although it wouldn't have been Bret's first choice, everything was better than he expected. Of particular note was a new tomahawk pork katsu with a Japanese-style curry sauce and the kimchi, which got the seal of approval from both Bret and his Korean-American dining companion. We also talked about how and why Pete Wells is ending his 12-year-run as restaurant critic of The New York Times, citing how dining out four or five times a week can become a health hazard—even if it sounds like an enviable job. Our guest this week is Jacob Bickelhaupt, chef-owner of Konro in West Palm Beach, Florida. The self-taught chef trained under culinary icon Charlie Trotter, and at Konro, he offers a 10-14 course tasting menu serving just 10 guests nightly, all of whom sit at the chef's counter. Although the artful cuisine is not Japanese, it is an intimate omakase-style experience, complete with wine pairings by sommelier Nadia Bickelhaupt, Jacob's wife. Jacob is six years sober and has created a selection of non-alcoholic pairings that closely mimic the wines, each house-made through a multi-step process. The couple orchestrates the evening at Konro to be as much an extension of their home as a unique and memorable gastronomic experience.

As expected, commerce reigned at the annual Coachella music festival, but which food and beverage companies stood out? We have a report. This episode also features conversation with Laura Merritt, the CMO of Diageo Beer Company, who discusses how Guinness' non-alcoholic Zero variety is helping the brand cultivate a new generation of consumers. 0:35: A Sordid Past. Cat's Milk. The Bramins. Jacqui's Spirits. Robin's Egg Blue. TB12 In 0.5 Sec. – Jacqui chats about personal pub culture before diving into her trip to Coachella and interactions with a handful of brands, including one that slyly promised “a good time.” The hosts briefly discuss Momofuku's decision to abandon its trademark battle and the proper way to say “pecan,” two products that highlight a new era for cocktail culture, a game-changing package for condiments and, perhaps, the most beautiful color in the world. 32:36: Interview: Laura Merritt, CMO, Diageo Beer Company – Laura is the marketing lead for Guinness, the iconic brand best known for its draught Irish stout beer. We met with Laura at Expo West 2024, where Guinness was highlighting its Zero variety, a non-alcoholic beer brewed to approximate the classic taste, mouthfeel and color of the original liquid. In our interview, Laura spoke the reason Diageo brought Guinness to Expo West, why she compares the rise in consumer demand for non-alcoholic beer to that of a popular food trend, how its Zero variety gives the brand optionality and how the company is attempting to cultivate a new generation of Guinness consumers. Guinness' innovation strategy and how modern trends fit into its approach.

Episode 166: James ParkThis week, James Park joins us to discuss his first cookbook, Chili Crisp: 50+ Recipes to Satisfy Your Spicy, Crunchy, Garlicky Cravings.James is a seasoned recipe developer and food writer who has been published in outlets including Eater, Food52, BuzzFeed, and Chowhound. After moving from Korea to the American South when he was 13, James began to navigate two cultural identities and continued to turn to food as a medium.And unless you've been living under a rock, you know chili crisp has been having a ~moment~ in the United States. While the condiment has become trendy in the US, its roots are deep in Asia and became a more steady consumer product when Lao Gan Ma began producing containers of chile crisp in China's Guizhou province in the late 1990s. A slew of American brands have emerged with chili crisps and chili crisp-inspired products, with Cathy Erway chronicling the “cult of spicy chile crisp” for TASTE. Just this month, David Chang's Momofuku brand drove chili crisp headlines after going after (and then backing off) companies using their trademarked term “chili crunch.”So when James went to write his first cookbook and narrowed his focus on chili crisp, it was in sync with the zeitgeist. Though he considers himself an “unofficial chili crisp ambassador,” James didn't discover the condiment until later in life, which allowed him to see how he could incorporate it into recipes in creative and unexpected ways.“Chili crisp opened the door of connections with other Asian cultures for me,” James writes in Chili Crisp. “The more I tasted chili crisp, the more I appreciated it and was proud to be a part of it. It even became my pickup line when making new friends. Do you know about chili crisp? Do you like chili crisp? What's your favorite way of enjoying it? Do you want to try my chili crisp?”In Chili Crisp, James presents recipes like:* Kimchi Quesadilla with Chili Crisp* Savory Morning Oats with Jammy Eggs and Pork Floss* Chili Crisp Bucatini Carbonara* Beef Short Ribs Ragu* Fiery Spaghetti and Meatballs* Chili Crisp Biscuits with Honey-Butter Glaze* Chili Crisp Ice Cream Two Ways* And more!We've got a great chat with James—and of course, we put him to the test in our signature culinary game!

Momofuku built its reputation as a company that was always willing to stir the pot. It may, however, regret stirring this one. David Chang's restaurant and consumer brand empire is under fire for sending cease-and-desist letters to brands using its trademarked term “chili crunch,” a move that has elicited rage among some in the food industry who feel that Momofuku is unfairly targeting small, women-owned and minority-led businesses. The hosts leap into the fray with their own takes on this hot and developing story. They also riff on Japanese TikTok, ASMR videos of people eating, a new spirit brand that, according to the founder, may make your brain “bounce that ass,” and a bevy of new food and drinks, including a non-alcoholic negroni and a brand that has “pretzelized” your favorite snacks. Show notes: 0:35: Soccer Talk Eclipses NCAA History. Everyone Seems Agitated, Except VIPs. Jacqui's Finger Wink. – Four hours before his beloved Arsenal is set to take the field, Mike is glistening and hydrating.

Ray highlights the benefits of becoming a Taste Radio VIP, John shares shots of peanut butter-flavored tequila (but not his negroni) although Mike passes on one in lieu of a non-alcoholic cider.

On this week's Modern Retail Rundown: Ulta's latest performance shows that beauty sales may finally be decelerating. Retailers like Express, Peloton and Saks have reportedly been late on paying their vendors -- indicating cash flow issues. Finally, there was drama in the food startup space as Momofuku gets litigious with competitors.
Marguerite Zabar Mariscal is rarely satisfied. It's not in her DNA, she says, nor that of the companies she helms: Momofuku, the admired restaurant group founded by David Chang, and Momofuku Goods, a brand of restaurant-quality pantry items inspired by modern Asian cuisine. Marguerite, who took the reins of Momofuku in 2019 and co-founded its consumer brand the same year, describes the companies' opposition to complacency as “a conscientious objection” that has fueled constant improvement. That mindset helped Momofuku Goods generate $50 million in revenue in 2023, a year in which the brand was available in less than 4,000 retail locations. Despite the remarkable growth of Momofuku Goods, Marguerite is loath to rest on her laurels. She is, however, willing to be patient and cautious – perhaps to a fault – when it comes to the brand's next stage of development. We spoke with Marguerite about her leadership and management of both Momofuku and Momofuku Goods in an interview recorded at Expo West 2024. Within our conversation, she explains why “out-caring the competition” has been a critical part of the companies' history and development, the reason that education about how to use its products is just as important as the food itself, how an intimate understanding of departmental operations has benefited her as a CEO, and why she's intent on building a company that “has optionality.” Show notes: 0:35: Marguerite Zabar Mariscal, CEO, Momofuku – Marguerite talks with Taste Radio editor Ray Latif about her experience at Expo West, navigating the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic and why she sees a rising tide in new ethnic food brands as lifting the entire category. She also discusses how Momofuku Goods incorporates data into its business strategy, what keeps her motivated as CEO, why being “inherently pessimistic” helps guide retail strategy and how the company identified and aligned with investors who believe in its patient approach to growth.

David Chang is the founder of Momofuku, a culinary brand that grew from a single 600-square-foot location to include a Michelin-starred restaurant, a bakery and dessert chain, and a line of consumer packaged goods. David joins Guy to talk about opening his first restaurant after his epiphany about ramen on a trip to Japan; the panic and anxiety he felt in those early days; and how he's learned to become a better leader and reject the toxic elements of “kitchen culture”.Links from the show: Bon Appetit on Momofuku Inc.Jimmy Fallon and David Chang have a hot wing eating contestDavid shows how to make chili-crunch carbonaraDavid explaining the mystery of his pork buns to ViceDavid makes leftover fried riceDavid's Shiitake and Swiss Chard Soup with Hand-Cut Noodles RecipeMomofuku websiteDavid's podcastDavid's InstagramSee all our episodes – including conversations with Tom Hanks, Jason Sudeikis, Bjork, and many more – at TheGreatCreators.com.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Eunjo Park doesn't necessarily need kimbap, but kimbap most certainly needs her—or fans of kimbap need her, at least. When Eunjo, a veteran of Per Se and the three-Michelin-starred Gaon in Seoul, was opening the first Momofuku restaurant to explicitly focus on Korean food, Momofuku Kāwi, located on the far west side of New York in Hudson Yards, one of the very first dishes she and her boss, David Chang, wanted to focus on was kimbap. And focus she did, which we talk about on this great episode. We also talk about her amazing career, and how she is thinking deeply about modern Korean cooking. We love Eunjo and hope you enjoy this talk.Do you enjoy This Is TASTE? Drop us a review on Apple, or star us on Spotify.

Dave checks the mailbag from the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix. Questions include how to do one's honeymoon in Europe (and the best places to visit in late spring), the one condiment he would choose for the rest of his life (if it couldn't be Momofuku chili crunch), and his take on Japanese vs. Scottish whiskey. A listener asks if anything like Lucky Peach exists in today's food media environment, and Dave ruminates on whether it would actually work given the way media has evolved. The episode rounds out as Dave is asked about easy dishes to make at home; the question provokes another discussion on how Dave thinks about making food at the studio. Dave goes into detail about his deductive process, including the factors he considers to inform his decisions.

Pro Football Food Weekly features a matchup between Carolina and Chicago, and the results are surprising—including some delicious foods from the Carolinas that deserve more shine. The Mini-MOIF has Dave attempt to create a day of eating with Taylor Swift in New York … things take a turn when Dave completely bombs the assignment by listing what he would do if he were completely alone.

Dave and Chris kick off the episode by discussing three moments in time they'd like to travel back to. Slice delves into an “addendum to the hefeweizen principle”—Dave's theory that bartenders are able to tell what drinks a patron wants before they actually order them. Ask Dave asks: Has Dave fallen out of love with some of his signature dishes? Dave talks about one of his most famous dishes, the Momofuku pork bun, and how he no longer wants to eat it or prepare it, and he draws a parallel to musical acts that have to play their hits. MOIF gets into a road trip convenience store draft, where Dave and Chris have to pick one savory snack, one sweet snack, and one drink. The MOIF rounds out with an overrated/underrated on attending live events, including NFL games, magic shows, and tennis matches.
