The 100 Years Club Installment #134: HOT STUFF #7 Music & Munching

Last week, we highlighted a dating podcast and combined it with another passion category…food.

This week, my podcast features two working musicians.

Interestingly, food and music are related. Scientific studies indicate that tunes can have an impact on our perceptions of tastes. 

Whether you prefer a wrap or a rap, read on….

Among my top ten trends from the Summer Fancy Food Show are PROTEIN, PLANT-BASED OPTIONS, and FUNCTIONAL BEVERAGES.

A shout-out to the brands we met and featured:

• Beyond the Bib: Feed those kiddos clean food! (And yes…I tasted it myself!)
• Brez: “Feel good tonics” (aka functional beverages)
• Buffy Protein: Who doesn’t like to dip?
• David Protein: I was already a fan of these 28g bars. Their new cinnamon roll flavor is yummy.
• Dirty Virgin: The name says it all! Fun booth too.
• Dry Brew: Chew your caffeine (or decaf) on those days when you can’t brew a cup.
• Honey Child: Dairy-free fruit pops for those days when the temps hit 118 in AZ (and any time!)
• Just Veggin: Bacon! (But not…it’s plant-based and tastes like the real thing)
• Pari: I’m generally not a mocktail lover, but their mules were kickin’!
• Red Jacket: This amazing small-batch brand is delicious and healthy.
• RIND “cheese:” Love cheese but not dairy? This is your food. They even have brie.
• Scott’s Protein Balls: The story behind them is inspiring, and they just launched new flavors.
• Snowing in Space: Wow! Cold brew with nothing added. My kinda beverage!
• VooZee: I confess…I often skimp on vegetables. This company removed my excuses!

Look out for Video #3, which covers even more trends!
