Twelve years later, Banza is the country’s number-one better-for-you pasta brand—and recently, it launched its first-ever pasta with wheat. In this episode, Brian returns to the studio to catch us up on all things Banza, including the brand’s continued growth and how launching a non-gluten-free pasta required the company to dig deep and listen to its fans. I love catching up with food founders, and Brian is one of my favorites in the game. </p>\n<p><em><strong>Subscribe to This Is TASTE</strong></em><em>:</em><em><strong> </strong></em><a href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-taste-podcast/id1393739959?mt=2\">⁠⁠<em>Apple Podcasts</em>⁠⁠</a><em>, </em><a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/show/3LsLXfnYt6Ugml415hyUfh?si=MRMn32W-S5i9HktfZ_eBIg\">⁠⁠<em>Spotify</em>⁠⁠</a><em>, </em><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@ThisIsTASTE\">⁠⁠<em>YouTube</em>⁠⁠</a><em>   </em></p><p> </p>","author_name":"Matt Rodbard & Aliza Abarbanel"}
