Tabatchnick Low Sodium Vegetable Soup: Now We Know Our ABC’s (Ep 50)

Max and Darren continue Healthy January with Tabatchnick's Low Sodium Vegetable Soup, and Darren discovers a family-owned company he can't help but love. The Bros don't realize until mid-meal that they're eating alphabet soup—a whimsical surprise that sparks conversation about split PEA, G&T’s, PBS, and the infamous D. ICYMI, Darren shares the remarkable history of the Tabatchnick family: over a century of soup-makers; charitable donors to soup kitchens, UNICEF, and USAID; and resilient AF through generations of hardship. (RIP, Ben 2014.) TBH, these people are absolute mensches. BTW: A discussion about Southern Pie Company from ATL, GA leads Max down a dark tangent about Maurice Sendak's animated short In The Night Kitchen (courtesy of Max's parents’ HBO recording on VHS). FWIW: GF OREOs, TBD on split vs non-split peas, FYI the meaning of pareve, MSG, and a little NaCl FTW. And PS, Max tests Darren's knowledge of health food store names IRL, and NGL the results are... surprisingly A-OK?
