Our story
Myles Comfort Foods, formally known as 8 Myles, was founded by food entrepreneur & aspiring chef, Myles Powell in 2015.
Myles developed a line of fruit based BBQ sauces reminiscent of his traditional family recipes. While the sauces were delicious, the true magic was in their pairings. Using only highest quality protein and whole food ingredients our Buffalo Mac & Cheese quickly became a fan favorite. The people had spoken! And our convenient, easy to prepare line of comfort foods was born.
Call us the mac & cheese with moxie. Myles’ authentic soul food recipes savor the nostalgia of childhood flavors with the wholesome ingredients your grandparents would approve of.

Walking down the stairs approaching the kitchen, the oven door opens with a creak sending its “food is everything” warm, cozy scent throughout the house. Fast forward fifteen years and I am no longer seven or eight, but twenty-three and I found that living on my own, a frozen meal did not emit the same comfort level vibes I had become accustomed to in my parents home..
I decided to embark on creating a food experience that not only I could feel good about eating, but one that I could share with friends to honor the tradition of a home cooked meal. I saw an opportunity with the Food Network with “America’s Best Cook” in 2013 and the idea blossomed.
Propelled forward on a mission to share traditional whole food ingredients in a convenient meal, Myles Comfort Foods was born. It is my hope that you share this with a friend, heat up your favorite Myles meal and are transported to your own community table roots with family and friends.

Hi! My name is Zhanna (pronounced JAH-NAH) … co-founder of Myles Comfort Foods.
I believe in creating a life with a little spice and everything nice… I was born in Severomorsk, a town on the Arctic circle in the northwest outpost of the USSR. Shortly after I was born, my parents planted our US roots in Milwaukee and from there cheese was basically my middle name. Growing up, my formidable years were spent honoring food traditions in my grandparents' kitchen creating Eastern European delicacies such as Pelmeni and Latkes.
My passion for the natural food industry began in procurement. I nurtured my career moving on in the snacking industry growing a determined operations team as VP of Operations & scaling a brand of products in both supply and ingredient procurement. A staunch Virgo, I am quite particular about food standards which is why at Myles I only source the highest quality whole food ingredients for our family of products.
