Hey, it's Ryan.
Our colleague Imani Moise is here to guest host today's episode.
Here it is.
For more than 10 years, Stephen McGinty managed to avoid making weekly trips to the grocery store.
That's because he's been a longtime subscriber of the meal kit service Blue Apron.
He signed up as soon as the service became available in Atlanta, where he lives.
At the very beginning, it was very culinary oriented.
It was, you know, teaching you proper cooking techniques, how you slice and dice all the vegetables.
Over time, it slowly became less about that and more about the convenience factor of, you know,
quick and easy meals at home.
Do you remember what's been some of your favorite meals from the service?
Yeah, we've really enjoyed exploring different types of international cuisine.
So a lot of like Moroccan food, Asian dishes
that we would have never in a million years attempted to do on our own.
Stephen says that for years, Blue Apron lived up to its promise of convenience and experimenting with new foods.
A few weeks ago, though, there was an issue with his meal box.
First of all, everything was red.
It was harissa sauce.
It splattered all over everything in the box.
And harissa sauce, if you're familiar, is very red.
