Toys, Halloween costumes, backpacks, school supplies, you name it, if a kid is using it the MCU will slap a branded character on it. So it shouldn’t be a big surprise that the most looked-for franchise installment in years is going to lend its brand to the most desired kids’ menu on the planet, right? But something about McDonald’s new Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Happy Meal is dividing the fans into separate “loving it” and “not…

Like dread, uncertainty and sourdough starters, delivery meal kits peaked in 2020. That’s when we threw our money at companies like Blue Apron and HelloFresh in a desperate attempt to relieve us of yet another night of summoning the energy to answer the question of what’s for dinner. Delivery meal kit companies were at the right place at the right time and, similar to Zoom and apps like DoorDash and Postmates, they cashed in on our homeboundness. But after skyrocketing in 2020, the delivery meal kit giants have been…

Positive Food Co., providing freshly packaged salads, heat-and-eat prepared meals and vegan overnight oats, raised $7 million in funding as it goes after the $34 billion fresh prepared foods market. In 2018, co-founders Schuyler Deerman and James Chan started selling healthy meals at WeWork offices around Los Angeles out of giant Yeti coolers, standing around the kitchens during lunch time. “At the time, we were in 15 locations, many where you couldn’t walk to get lunch, so you had to either order food in or drive…

You might think new ideas in food startups are done to death. From ghost kitchens to 10- minute grocery deliveries, many people buy and cook our food, so we don’t have to.  Now, a US company called Wonder has created an entirely new business model: chefs-on-wheels.  It’s a somewhat novel idea. Consumers order food through a mobile app. The food is par-cooked (in ghost or restaurant kitchens), but it comes to you in a van equipped with a kitchen and a chef that finishes your meal in the truck…
