FROM VEGAN REVOLUTION TO FOIE GRAS: THE ELEVEN MADISON PARK REVERSAL In 2021, celebrity chef Daniel Humm made culinary history by transforming Eleven Madison Park, one of the world's most prestigious restaurants, into an entirely plant-based establishment. He challenged the idea that luxury dining required meat, seafood, and foie gras. In 2022, the restaurant earned three Michelin stars for its vegan menu, proving that plant-based cuisine could compete at the highest level. But in October 202...
Scientists are exploring an unconventional food technology that uses engineered microbes to transform plastic waste and agricultural byproducts into food ingredients. Could this help address food scarcity and plastic pollution, or are we entering a dystopian future where we're eating cookies made from trash? We break down the research, explore the possibilities, and ask whether food technology is the solution to our unsustainable food system. A vegan creator announces they're no longer vega...
In this episode of Vegan Hacks Pod, Jason takes on a popular Top 10 vegan-friendly cities list—and has some serious questions about it. Portland takes the top spot, but should it? Why are Los Angeles, New York, Las Vegas, and other cities missing or ranked lower than expected? Jason breaks down the list from the perspective of someone who actually travels to these cities, eats at the restaurants, checks out the vegan scenes, and pays attention to the smaller communities and pop-ups that don't...

We also get into the complicated story of Sunday Suppe...
Beyond Meat is going through another major transformation and this time, they're going way beyond meat. The company is launching its new PhytoSphere platform, featuring protein powders, savory jerky bars, Veggie burgers, beverages and other products built around the idea of stacking plant nutrients and entering “thrive mode.” But is this actually the future of plant-based food… or has Beyond Meat completely lost sight of what made the company important in the first place?

There was a lot of panic when news broke about a tofu recall. But once you look past the headlines, there’s a much more interesting story. In this episode, we get into the Hodo Foods recall, what actually happened, and how one small, independent tofu company grew from a farmers market operation into a major national brand. But the bigger question is what happens when an independent vegan-friendly company gets taken over by larger corporate interests. We also talk about the future of flavored ...
Beyond Meat was once one of the biggest names in the plant-based movement—but is the company now moving away from the very vegan customers who helped build the brand? In this episode, I dive into Beyond Meat’s new collaboration with Milk Bar, where Beyond products are being used alongside real eggs and dairy cheese. Is this a smart attempt to reach the massive flexitarian market, or does it undermine the ethical and environmental identity Beyond Meat built its brand around? I also talk about ...
