How To Freshen Up Take-Out: Part 2

Published: Feb. 1, 2021, 2 p.m.

We're all eating more take-out--and even prepared foods from the supermarket. But let's face it: things lose, um, oomph in transit. And prepared foods really suffer after a day or two in the fridge.

How do you bring back all those great flavors in take-out? We've got lots of ideas. In this second part of our series on freshening up take-out, we talk all about better condiments. Just because you're ordering in doesn't mean you shouldn't have a few things in the pantry to make your food taste better.

Join us, Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, as we banter about the ways to make take-out much more enjoyable.
