Hey foodies!

Welcome (or welcome back) to another edition of the tastiest email you’ll get all week.

Sorry today’s email is a little late. I was eating lunch and forgot to hit send 🙃 

Thanks for the feedback on last week’s edition. Some of you liked it, a few didn’t. We’re back to normal today. Who knows where we’ll be next week. But it’ll be delicious, you can bet on that.

Bottoms up, let’s go.
