tommy + omar · at the market
where it started — our table
it started at our own kitchen table. two boyfriends, two lifters, cooking sunday meal prep for ourselves — until friends started asking, “can you just make mine too?” tommy had lost 150 pounds learning to actually cook for himself. omar was building a strength practice he’s now turning into an nasm cert. tandoco is the kitchen we wished we’d had.
we took the bakes to twin cities farmers markets — and they started selling out most weekends. protein cookies, swole rolls, cinnamon rolls that don’t taste like a protein bar. the market tent is still where you can find us, most saturdays and sundays, all summer.
friends-of-friends became customers, and the orders kept doubling — until the home kitchen couldn’t keep up. so we moved into a real commercial kitchen in minneapolis. it’s not a storefront — it’s where every meal and every bake still gets made by the same two pairs of hands, then loaded into the van.
today it runs on a simple rhythm: order by thursday, cooked fresh, on your doorstep sunday — fridge-fresh, never frozen, delivery from $4 and free over $65 across the twin cities. no subscription, no contracts. order any week, skip any week.
whole proteins, real cheese, real butter — nothing we wouldn’t feed each other. no chemical additives, no powdered shortcuts.
every plate weighed, every label exact. no rounding, no “approximate” wiggle — the number on the label is the number on your fork.
no subscription, no contracts. skip a week, come back the next — change your order anytime up to the thursday cutoff.
“after starting their meal prep my progress exploded.”
“their protein baked goods are so tasty. better than anything you can buy off the shelf!”
“i especially enjoy the desserts and bread — they’re not dense like typical protein-based options.”
“i’ve purchased from them every week since, and my college-aged daughter is raving about them too.”
“delivery was on time, and i had meals for days. the rolls are chef kiss.”
“awesome experience every step of the way. everyone has to try!”
one of us runs the bakery, the other runs the kitchen. no outsourced commissary, no mystery line cooks — just the two people whose names are on the box.
“julia child made me fall in love with food — the idea that anyone could cook anything.”
develops every protein baked good on the menu. lost 150 lbs learning to cook for himself — now he bakes the cookies, breads and rolls he once thought he had to give up.
“meal prep gave me my focus back. so we built it for everyone else who needs that.”
develops every meal-prep recipe — engineered backwards from a high-protein target, then tested for taste before it touches a tray. working toward his nasm cpt.
every meal and every bake starts as raw ingredients in our kitchen — whole chicken and beef seasoned by hand, vegetables chopped that morning, dough mixed, rolled, and proofed on a floured table. meals are cooked in small batches, bakes come out of the oven the day they ship. no mixes, no frozen filler, no shortcuts.
the latest from @tandocohq — fresh bakes, sunday drops, behind the counter.
tandoco was co-founded by tommy and omar — two boyfriends cooking high-protein meals and functional baked goods out of a minneapolis kitchen. tommy runs the bakery side and develops every protein baked good. omar runs the cooking side and develops every meal-prep recipe.
tandoco's kitchen is at 1369 spruce pl in minneapolis. it's a production space, not a storefront — every order is delivered.
tandoco launched in fall 2024 out of tommy + omar's home kitchen, cooking weekly meal-prep boxes for friends. it grew into a 200+ customer sunday delivery operation across the twin cities.
yes. every meal and every baked good is hand-prepped, hand-cooked, and packed by the two founders in our minneapolis kitchen — there are no contract cooks, no commissary white-labeling, no shipped-frozen items.
three things. one: every recipe is engineered backwards from a high-protein target (30–60g protein per meal, 18–22g per bakery item) — most local meal prep is portion-controlled but not macro-engineered. two: a real scratch-bakery line — protein cookies, swole rolls, cinnamon rolls — that doesn't taste like a protein bar. three: no subscription required. order any week, skip any week, no contracts.
no. tandoco operates on a weekly order cadence — order by thursday cutoff, delivery sunday. there are no auto-renewals, no contracts, and no per-order admin fees. order any week, skip any week.
high-protein meal prep (chicken, beef, salmon, turkey-based meals with protein-forward sides, 30–60g protein per serving) and scratch-made wellness bakery (cookies, swole rolls, cinnamon rolls, brownies, muffins, 18–22g protein per item). select bakery items use functional ingredients like ashwagandha.
the kitchen at 1369 spruce pl is a production space, not a storefront — every order goes out for sunday delivery. but if you'd like to meet tommy + omar, reach out to support@tandoco.com or 612-524-9104 to coordinate.
no subscription to cancel, no contract to sign. order one week, see if it’s for you — we think it will be.
