”We’re excited to partner with T-Pain and Jimmy O Yang who bring their signature styles and sense of humor both to our ads and to our menus,” said Marcus von Franck, chief marketing officer at HelloFresh US. ”Our goal is to always make cooking an enjoyable, thrilling, and delicious experience. We are confident that our customers will love the bold flavors and unique flavor combinations of Jimmy and T-Pain’s recipes.”
Running with the theme of unexpected pairings, the T-Pain-Yang duo also helped develop ‘Eats by T-Pain and Jimmy O Yang,’ a new series of four recipes that blend Southern and Asian cuisine from Yang’s Hoisin Chicken Flatbread with Sizzling Scallion Ginger Oil & Cucumber to T-Pain’s Hot Chicken Mashed Potato Bowls with Roasted Green Beans & Gravy.
The dishes will be available to HelloFresh subscribers from August 20 to September 16.
