  The 2027 Food and Beverage Forecast: 10 trends that will reshape what America eats

  Sep 24, 202654 min

  The 2027 Food & Beverage Forecast is here!! In this episode, straight from the live launch event, Miriam and Michael cover the 10 trends set to define 2027 - and what they mean for both consumers and brands. Each trend is organized around four things people now demand from what they eat and drink: control, realness, belonging, and delight. Along the way, we cover the end of the health promise, the Latin American drinks moving into coffee, tradition coming back on purpose, and eating for the mirror. We close with a first look at the Tastewise agent that takes the forecast and returns bespoke assets specifically for your brand. Want to check out the report + agent? Get access here

  Executive Briefing: The Agentic Future of F&B

  Jul 14, 202632 min

  Alon Chen, CEO and co-founder of Tastewise, joins the show to talk through what the agentic era really asks of food and beverage teams, and why the executive conversation has shifted from whether to adopt agents to how fast you can rebuild around them. We cover the perfect storm hitting the industry (GLP-1, own-brand pressure, challenger brands scaling in record time), why throwing another tool at your go-to-market only deepens the problem, and why data context is the real differentiator. Alon makes the case for modeling agents on your best people instead of replacing them, and shares the one thing any team can do tomorrow to find out whether they're actually operating in an agentic environment or just catching up.
