tandoco is tommy + omar — chef-cooked high-protein meal prep and protein baked goods, made every sunday in minneapolis.
“after starting their meal prep my progress exploded.”
— Trey Jacobs
two boyfriends. two lifters. one kitchen that started cooking sunday meal prep for ourselves — and then for everyone who asked. chef-cooked every week, the same way we cook at home.
tommy lost 150 lbs learning to cook for himself. omar built a strength practice that he’s now turning into an nasm personal-training cert. tandoco is the kitchen and the bakery we wished we had when we started.
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 a week later, change your order anytime up to thursday cutoff.
the same two hands that packed your box were chopping that broccoli — or pulling that bread out of the oven — twelve hours earlier.
“julia child made me fall in love with food — the idea that anyone could cook anything.”
runs the bakery side. develops every protein baked good on the menu. lost 150 lbs learning to cook for himself.
“meal prep gave me my focus back. so we built it for everyone else who needs that.”
runs the cooking side. develops every meal-prep recipe. working toward his nasm personal-training cert.
we built this because we were tired of meal prep that cut corners. every recipe is engineered backwards from a high-protein target, then tested for taste before it ever makes it onto a tray.
no hidden fees, no shortcuts to hit a price point. here’s the napkin math for a week of dinners.
real ingredients, real cost — no hidden fees.
tandoco was co-founded by tommy and omar — two boyfriends cooking high-protein meals and protein 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 the loring park neighborhood of 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 the loring park kitchen — 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 per meal, 18–38g per bakery item). two: a real scratch-bakery line that doesn’t taste like a protein bar. three: no subscription required. order any week, skip any week.
no. tandoco operates on a weekly order cadence — order by thursday cutoff, delivery sunday. no auto-renewals, no contracts, 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 protein bakery (cookies, swole rolls, cinnamon rolls, brownies, muffins, 18–38g 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 hello@tandoco.com or 612-524-9104 to coordinate.
you don’t have to commit to a year. try a single week. if it’s not the best meal prep food you’ve had in minneapolis, we’ll buy you back.
