Founding Story
How Biteology Was Born

“Growing up, my relationship with food was always rocky. So when it came time to go to college, I was nervous. I was moving to a different state, starting at a new school, and suddenly I had no say in what ended up on my plate. My parents couldn’t make me a second meal anymore, and I didn’t have the money to order food off campus regularly.
My first three years of college were rough. I lived off pizza and chicken — usually undercooked or burnt to a crisp. I started buying groceries with money from summer jobs while still paying for a $4,000 meal plan I barely used. And I wasn’t alone. Everyone knew the food was bad. We just didn’t see a way around it.
What stood out to me was what happened after breaks.
When students went home for a weekend, they came back different, lighter, less stressed, in a better mood. Not because the food at home was fancy, but because it was predictable. It was warm. It was made by someone who cared. Someone who had already decided to take care of you.
That contrast stuck with me.”

“We started thinking about how to give students like myself a way to feel that same sense of normalcy while away at school. Not restaurant food. Not options for the sake of options. Just real meals cooked the way you’d eat at home — delivered reliably, by a friendly face, for free.
Biteology didn’t start as a plan to disrupt an industry. It started as a way to make nights easier. To let students sit down after a long day and realize dinner was already handled.
That’s what Biteology is built on. The belief that even when you’re far from home, it should still be possible to eat a real meal, one that makes you feel taken care of.
Most food companies chase novelty.
Biteology chased something simpler.
Relief.
Because even when you’re far away at school, it matters knowing someone thought about you while they were cooking.”
