Easy one, but I didn't see the spangram until last.

“On board”

Not hitting on all 6 cylinders today, and it took 3 or 4 guesses and misspellings to finally spell "brie".

I was fine as soon as I figured out it was about food. I kept getting hung up, thinking it was something nautical.

I got piquant ok, but umami took me a few guesses.

The Food Network throws umami around like a swear word. It's one of the first ones I saw. Maybe I spend too much time there.

It ended up being the last remaining letters, and I wasn't getting it. I don't know how many combinations I went through.

“Looking for a mate”

Pretty clever one today. I caught on finally, but still got the Spangram by default.
