  • "Major Corporations Hijacked Your Pallet!" Harvest & Cook REAL Food - Chef Matt Thomas (ASP Ep. 73)

    Chef Matt is not just super talented at cooking our foods and understanding of the science behind it, but he is also an artist and deeply profound! His experience working at top-tier restaurants as a chef, working on regenerative farms, and teaching students is super inspiring and connects all the dots of so many passions we both share.

    Matt goes deep into describing a world we all don't want to live in , while also painting a picture of what we do want to like in. I enjoyed hearing him break down some complex topics in such simple way for people to digest. It's important we all have awareness around many of the issues, so we can do something about it!
    This episode gave me a lot clarity on the vision of the future world I want to live in and direction /steps to get there. I look forward to connecting with more minds like Matt bringing this awesome organic, regenerative culture to South Florida!
    Hope y'all enjoy!!
