Vice Media subsidiary 'MUNCHIES' has teamed up with 'Chef'd' to offer MUNCHIES Meal Kits.
Each of the recipes for the meal kits has been created by Toronto-based chef and MUNCHIES contributor Matty Matheson. The kits are available in five delicious recipes that range from breakfast to dessert to late night menu options. Unlike other subscription-based meal kit services, MUNCHIES Meal Kits are available as one-off purchases and don't require a subscription of any kind.
Each meal kit is available in either two or four person portion sizes and orders over $40 receive free shipping. This service is currently only available in the US, but Canadians' love of both MUNCHIES and Matty Matheson is sure to inspire a broader release in the near future.
