Samuel spent 15 years making a living in Shakespeare, puppetry, and the circus. He fell in love with an acrobat and made her nutrient-dense pancakes out of popcorn to get her attention. She married him (for her own reasons) and talked him into selling the pancakes as a side hustle. In 2015, Samuel founded Long Table to sell those mixes. When all the theaters closed in 2020 Samuel went full time on Long Table. He and Lindsey both appeared on Shark Tank on January 6, 2023.

Banana pancake recipe (sorry I couldn't find the link):
1-2 ripe bananas
1 egg
2 tbsp vegetable oil or butter
1 cup milk
1 cup gluten-free flour
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Anica is a whole-animal butcher and founder of Bonjerk—an East Asian-spiced jerky company based in San Francisco. 

She is a first-generation Chinese American. In the years of growing up in Kansas, where Asians were the minority, food was a means for her family to keep traditions alive and celebrate their Chinese culture. Her love for food, especially meat, led her to the realization that Good Meat was mostly absent from Chinese grocers in America.

Experimenting with jerky recipes became a way for Anica to rediscover and share flavors connected to her Chinese heritage with friends and family. In 2018, she started training as a whole-animal butcher and began her journey into the regenerative meat industry. Learning this craft has helped her to realize just how much work is required to get meat on our plates. It made her think about ingredients differently, the experience of eating food differently, and she was empowered by the control small farmers had over how the animal and land was treated. Alongside making some seriously delicious jerks, her hope is to be able to share her butchery skills, and help grow the support system for others, especially women, in food and agriculture.
