Melissa Lynn Lieser tells us all about her company, Backpacker's Bistro, which makes delicious sounding trail meals. She explains the process of making them and most importantly how much healthier they are than other brands on the market. 2008 winner of the French Culinary Institute's Top Chef award, Melissa combined her passions for backpacking and food when she founded Backpacker's Bistro in 2016 with a simple philosophy: we believe that the most satisfying and healthy meals begin with whole, real foods. We believe in finding quality products from sustainable sources, locally if possible.
