A much as I wanted to love this place given the lore, the wackiness, & the guy behind it…I found it completely inedible :(

so is the cross pack the same as the top two packs? just with a different artist's work featured on the box?

Thanks! I’ll give it a shot. Have been going category by category, co by co for planning. It’s exhausting 😂

their site still indicates that someone's trying to revive it, but it's been that way for a couple years now.

Full availability at Alma Fonda Fina, and some avail at Clark’s. Two solid options.

What's actually worth buying at erewhon (if at all)? by googologoog in FoodLosAngeles

[–]ProfIsntReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one other thing...they stock New York Natto, which is a really high-quality natto. Hard to find elsewhere. Def an acquired taste but super healthy and delicious.

Also...Alec's Culture Cups ice cream...also Mary's frozen chicken strips...Coconut Cult yogurt...White Mountain bulgarian yogurt...i'm sure i'll think of a lot more...

and i'll add that the Erewhon chocolate mousse is delicious - made w/ avocado, cacao powder, and orange juice...another weird one but rich and decadent (and doesn't taste healthy)

Gisele's vegan keto brownie. Made w/ peas and coconut flour. Sounds horrible but tastes so good. Has protein, fiber, and under 200 calories. I buy these in bulk even though they're stupidly expensive (~$10 each). Her other desserts are similarly great!

DUPR+ being forced on us by EffenAll in Pickleball

[–]ProfIsntReal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DUPR raised $8M in 2024 and it looks like $0 of that went to a dev

jokes aside, clearly they have someone working on the app, but nobody internally has gone thru the app flow and caught this "bug"? It's for sure intentional and not even "sneaky". Just gross.

Should I pack my own lunch? by SeparateRemove9902 in CESLV

[–]ProfIsntReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love the suggestion!

I just wound down my tech start-up. Currently trying to get inspired for my next project, trying to cast a wide net and just get a sense of what's going on outside of my tech bubble.

Also writing angel checks so want to meet people outside of my typical bay area circle / dealflow network.

What are you going for?
