Welcome to the Eater Upsell, a part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.

This is a show about food and restaurants and people that make food and people that eat food and people that talk about food.

I am one of your hosts, Greg Morobito, with me as always is your other

host, Helen Rosner, and on today's episode of the show, we are chatting with Jenny

Brittin Bauer, who is the founder of Jenny Splend splendid ice cream. She has this crazy brain

for making different awesome ice cream flavor. She's built this huge company. She has got a

lot of thoughts about politics. her company had some trouble with a

Listeria recall, but she weathered it, keeps growing, she's a really

interesting entrepreneur and I can't wait to chat with her. Before we get

into that, I just wanted to remind you that if you really dig what we're doing

here on the eater upsell we would be so grateful if you would subscribe to this

podcast on iTunes or the podcasting platform of your choice.

And if you really dig what you're hearing,

Helen and I would love it if you would give us a review

and a rating on iTunes.

We're gonna jump into our chat with Jenny Brittenbauer,

but actually, before that, we're bringing back something we used to do on earlier

episodes of this program, which is a little thing we like to call shooting the shit where Helen

and I just kind of talk about whatever's on her mind.

So right now I'm going to read a

press release that just landed in my inbox, a weird press release to Helen.

Do you ever get one of those press releases where you read it and it just kind of sounds like it's being coming
