#7 “The Flying Cadesky Brothers”

On this week’s episode, we have an insightful and lively discussion with Eli Cadesky, co-founder with his brother Lee of C-fu FOODS and One Hop Kitchen. These guys operate on the cutting edge of insect protein technology, pushing the envelope in finding new ways to turn insects like crickets and mealworms into a delicious and nutritious dining experience.

After our chat, we turn brother Lee Cadesky loose in the Cricketlicious Café, and he shows us how to make Chili Con Cricket!

We are also holding a drawing to win a big bag of Bugeater Foods’ Jump valued at $40. Jump is a cricket based, high protein chocolate shake mix that contains 26 grams of protein, 8 grams of fiber, 25% of the RDA of Iron, and all kinds of other vitamins and minerals. Listen and learn how you can win!

And we also start a new web series: “The Night Talker”…the voice of one crying in the dark.

Listen, enjoy, and share with your friends.
