Chef Daniel Humm of Eleven Madison Park in New York city rocked the culinary world when he announced his three-star Michelin restaurant would re-open with a meat-free menu. Host Billy Shore connects with Chef Humm to learn more about what motivated the change: "My hope is that we can show that we can create these magical moments that are luxurious and delicious without using meat."

Chef Humm noted our current food system is not sustainable, "This is not an anti-meat move. This is more a pro-planet move." The shutdown of Eleven Madison Park during the pandemic, gave Humm time for reflection and a reevaluation of his priorities.  

As part of this episode, we re-visit an earlier conversation with Chef Humm during the height of the pandemic, when Humm transformed Eleven Madison Park into a food provider of 5,000 meals a day in partnership with Rethink Food NYC. “The recipe I want to really share with the world is the recipe of doing what we’re doing, but also feeding the people in need, under one roof,” he says.
