Ladies and gentlecars. To be completely honest i was a never bowl girl, or so I thought. Never bowl girls go to restaurants, and if the have a bowl option, they pretty much never get that. They like sandwiches quesadillas pizzas tacos wraps pastas and I guess the common theme here is refined carbohydrates and a disproportionate amount of finger food. Born and raised in America I can't help it. all too often we're chasing the rush, the hit, instant gratification, blood sugar spikes and dopamine swipes. Yeah so you won't be surprised to learn that my partner found this place on that little devil app that completely collapses a perfectly good sense of time and place. You know the one. That sick scrolling black hole of perfected algorithmic attention. Guess what, good things can come of that cosmic warp. A never bowl girl can find out about Bowls by KO, and this restaurant flipped a switch in me I thought only possible with divine intervention. I'll cut to the chase. It was The meal prep pack that did it. I try with varying degrees of success not to feed the monster inside of me that is desperate for red 40 and seed oils. But it's hard because there's another monster inside of me that's desperate for sitting on the couch and watching tv with a sparkling clean kitchen and an empty sink. Surely you can understand how the intersectionality of these two monsters creates a perfect recipe for chronic consumption of empty calories. But the real me is going to turn 28 soon and I need to get serious. And snatched. Enter bowls by KO. You actually do not have to order a bowl. you can order a meal prep pack of the bowl which means the parts of the bowl come deconstructed, individually packaged and prepared in glorious quantities. Today we picked up rice, shredded buffalo chicken, garlic kale salad, stir fried veggies, sesame seeds, green onions, pickled red onions, and tatziki sauce. These are nutritional building blocks, not self limiting meals. I can use these foods however I want: bowls of course, but also sandwiches, tacos, wraps, pizzas, pastas, quesadillas. This is freedom. I'm not bound to the confines of pre-assembled, logistically inseparable food, and in complete paradoxical harmony, I enjoy real nutrition in the context of my couch and spotless kitchen, empty sink and all. Thank you Bowls by KO. Btw, for all the time I just spent writing about being a never bowl girl, I have to tell you I got home and immediately threw all this stuff into a bowl. It was amazing. I'm a sometimes bowl girl now. We'll be back, and if you are working intentionally with the creators on that crazy little app to convert never bowl girls like me, it's working.
