Get your next dinner party in the mail, thanks to Feastive

It seems like you can get anything you want delivered right to your door these days. The latest craze is entire meals carefully curated and sent to you for your ease and convenience. Feastive is one such meal delivery service. However, the firm advertises not only as a meal in a box, but a dinner party.

Now one could argue that the purpose of a dinner party is to create an experience, not just serve up a meal. In our busy, fast-paced lives a “meal spent at home” as Feastive describes it may be the best we have to hope for. Who has the time to plan a menu, shop, and prepare a meal on top of creating an experience?

The creator of Feastive, Debbie Soo, addressed criticism that having meals delivered to your door took away from the spirit of the dinner party and the excitement and inherent stress it brings. “The experience isn’t necessarily disjointed because it comes in a meal kit,” Soo explains. In her mind, dinner parties are about the connection made through sitting down and enjoying a meal together. While the meals may not be entirely prepared at home, they are made to be enjoyed at home by the host and their guests and Feastive believes that’s the important part.

Feastive offers 5 different menu options, all of Asian inspiration, that you can customize to suit your dinner party size. The prices range from $120-$260 and require that the host order at least 3 days in advance to ensure that all the product will be delivered on time. While the meal comes mostly prepped there is cooking involved so be prepared.

The mission behind Feastive is to take the stress out of dinner parties so that more time can be spent on the actual entertaining and less on the cooking. The firm wants to reduce the hassle of hosting, and who wouldn’t welcome that?

Jeep Compass EV breaks cover—but will it come to the U.S.?
jeep compass ev us newjeepcompassfirsteditionhawaii  4

Jeep just pulled the wraps off the all-new Compass EV, and while it’s an exciting leap into the electric future, there's a catch—it might not make it to the U.S. anytime soon.
This is a brand new electric version of the Jeep Compass, and being built on Stellantis' STLA platform—the same architecture underpinning models like the Peugeot E-3008 and E-5008—it looks much slicker and packs a lot more inside than previous versions of the Compass.
Let’s start with what’s cool: the new Compass EV is packing up to 404 miles of range on a single charge, a 74 kWh battery, and fast-charging that gets you from 20% to 80% in about 30 minutes. Not bad for a compact SUV with Jeep's badge on the nose.
There are two versions: a front-wheel-drive model with 213 horsepower and a beefier all-wheel-drive version with 375 horsepower. That AWD setup isn’t just for looks—it can handle 20% inclines even without front traction, and comes with extra ground clearance and better off-road angles. In short, it’s still a Jeep.
The design's been refreshed too, and inside you’ll find the kind of tech and comfort you’d expect in a modern EV—sleek, smart, and ready for both city streets and dirt trails.
But here’s the thing: even though production starts soon in Italy, Jeep hasn’t said whether the Compass EV is coming to America. And the signs aren’t promising.
Plans to build it in Canada were recently put on hold, with production now delayed until at least early 2026. Some of that might have to do with possible U.S. tariffs on Canadian and Mexican vehicles—adding a layer of uncertainty to the whole rollout.
According to Kelley Blue Book, a Stellantis spokesperson confirmed that the company has “temporarily paused work on the next-generation Jeep Compass, including activities at” the Canadian plant that was originally meant to build the model. They added that Stellantis is “reassessing its product strategy in North America” to better match customer needs and demand for different powertrain options.
So while Europe and other markets are gearing up to get the Compass EV soon, American drivers might be left waiting—or miss out entirely.
That’s a shame, because on paper, this electric Jeep hits a lot of sweet spots. Let’s just hope it finds a way over here.

Charlie Cox singles out his least favorite Daredevil: Born Again episode
Charlie Cox in Daredevil: Born Again.

Daredevil: Born Again season 1 was largely reconceived after the 2023 actor and writer strikes. Dario Scardapane -- a veteran of The Punisher series on Netflix -- was brought in to be the new showrunner and he made a lot of changes to the series that were well-received. However, there's one episode that Scardapane didn't really change at all, and it happens to be the least favorite episode of Daredevil: Born Again's leading man, Charlie Cox.

During an appearance on The Playlist, Cox noted that he wasn't very fond of the season's fifth episode, "With Interest," which was a largely standalone episode that featured his character, Matt Murdock, in a bank during a hostage crisis.
