ContenderCast with Justin Honaman

Jen Morales and Jason Stitt are longtime friends and former law partners with a shared passion for cocktails. Their big idea was to bring the craft and taste of a top-notch cocktail experience, easily and simply, into our homes. Initially they experimented freezing into ice cubes all the ingredients that Jason used for his crowd-pleasing watermelon margaritas. Jen then put her Harvard education to novel use, envisioning a kaleidoscope of cubes that could be the building blocks for any imaginable cocktail. More to the story as you will hear in today's episode as they both join Justin to discuss this exciting new frozen beverage brand!

A meal that the Soom Foods family enjoyed in a town tucked against the Mediterranean Sea confirmed that the secret to bringing people together over good food could be a piece of cake. Literally! The ingredient that made the delicious difference in the dessert they shared that night was tahini. In the states, they felt that we had nothing close to the flavor found overseas. Eventually, they learned the magic lay in the Ethiopian sesame seeds used for ages to make the world's best tahini. So Soom Foods crafted the blend that could bring that taste home.
