Please Forgive Us at Blue Apron for This Week’s Meals. We’ve Been Having a Tough Time Lately

LUCY HUBER

 

This box contains the ingredients and recipes for this week’s Blue Apron meals. We know you’ve come to expect a high standard of quality from Blue Apron and normally we are happy to provide you with the best quality recipes and ingredients possible, but look, stuff has been rough for everyone lately and we’re doing our best. Things kind of got away from us this week.

This gave me a good laugh. Thank you!

That's depressing.
Also I think you might mean McSweeny's instead of Penzy's. But Penzy's meeting blue apron doesn't sound bad either.

I think you're right.

Is it wrong that I might like these recipes better than the real ones? Those dang Blue Apron ones took a really long time to make and didn't give us any leftovers so I got sick of making them every night.

This makes me miss Jon Lovett's Blue Apron meals.

I laughed out loud and started reading the deli turkey one to H.

Love the reference to PSA.

I've been meaning to ask- did they tell him he had to stop doing them?

It seems like it. Their ads have gotten much more tame and then the other day lovett said "a better way to..." in an unrelated ad and favreau shouted lawyers! That's my hunch.
