  • Summary

  • Plant-based meat substitutes used to be confined to the aisles of health food stores and stands in farmers markets. However, with the explosion in discussions around the environmental and health consequences of eating meat, plant-based foods are growing in popularity on an international level.

    In this episode of Plant-Based Revolution, Chef GW Chew, founder and chief executive officer of Something Better Foods, Inc. a minority owned food manufacturing company is changing the food landscape and building a food empire of plant-based protein solutions. Exploring his mission behind creating a taste, texture, and appearance that satisfy.

    Chew shares his story of being adopted into the Chew family and the impact it would have on his drive to create healthier food and becoming vegan. Chew talks about wanting to experience the taste of the food he grew up on and developing those recipes. He talks about his first discovery of taking an oat burger and turning it into a vegan chicken leg. Chew Says, “my mind exploded when I saw that, something inside of me said that these simple grains, oats and potatoes, roots, soybeans and millet, all these ingredients that I’m working with learning how to cook vegan, maybe they can be turned into a plant-based protein.”

    Chew says it was a spiritual journey for him. After spending three or four years developing recipes in his mom’s kitchen, Chew created the protein that became the foundation for Something Better Foods. He talks about opening a restaurant that acted as his research and development lab and how he started manufacturing his plant-based food.

    Listen to this episode to hear Chew’s inspiring story on getting capital, becoming a manufacturer and it being an intrical part of his story, and how he was able to get Something Better Foods into Whole Foods. Tune in and find out about Better Chew and chef’s goal to democratize the access of plant-based food for all people.
