    Episode 6: Vegan Chef Armando Aviles

    Armando Aviles says food has played a big role in his life since he was kid, so the fact that he grew up to be a chef is not surprising. But, after he and his wife went on a raw, holistic diet for health reasons, they soon realized what they thought would be a temporary move would become a permanent lifestyle change. In episode 6 of Beyond the Kale, Armando explains how his transition to veganism affected his journey as a chef, and the role his Puerto Rican heritage plays in his cooking. Armando also details what it is like for a vegan chef to work in a restaurant that is not a fully vegan establishment, and why he thinks those kinds of arrangements can be beneficial for both the restaurant, and the vegan movement as a whole. Armando also explains some of the struggles he and his wife experience raising their two non-vegan kids, and how they make it work.

    Episode 4: Freez, Finding Vegan Options While Touring Around The Country

    Freez spent more than 10 years working with some of the biggest names in music and entertainment as a tour manager. The job kept him on the road for up to 11 months a year. During this episode, Freez and I talk about how he was able to find vegan options while traveling across the country. These were the early days of Yelp, so finding food was not always as easy as it is nowadays. We also talk about how he got his start in the music business, working with hip-hop legends including DMX and Bushwick Bill, his favorite albums of all time, and which Major League Baseball ballparks we think are the best for vegans. Freez's favorite spot for vegan food is Tacotarian. https://www.tacotarianlv.com/about/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tacotarianlv/?hl=en Freez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/allveganerrythang/?hl=en Follow Beyond the Kale Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beyondkalepod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beyondkalepod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/beyondkalepod Music fromUppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/sensho/good-times License code: XH2BAQWKJQE9DTBZ Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/sensho/tribe License code: B7OWOZ0UBCQ2RZ7J

    Episode 3: "What Is A Vegan" Author Drew Miele

    Andrew Miele's son began asking questions about why he was not eating the same things his classmates were. After he was unable to find any books that could approproately explain veganism to such a young child, Andrew decided to write "What Is A Vegan" to do just that. During this episode, Andrew and I spoke about a lot of different topics, inlcuding gaming, vegan junk food and the difficulties he face when he was forced to walk away from an 18 year career as a tattoo artist after suffering an injury. Andrew's favorite spot for vegan food is Charlie was a sinner. https://charliewasasinner.com/ What Is A Vegan Buy the book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QS68T3C?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 My Cat Is Weird Buy the book here: https://www.amazon.com/My-Cat-Weird-Drew-Miele/dp/1983121088/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=my+cat+is+weird&qid=1607528470&rnid=2941120011&s=books&sr=1-1 Andrew Miele Website: https://drewmiele.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drew_miele_books/ Follow Beyond the Kale Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beyondkalepod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beyondkalepod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/beyondkalepod Music fromUppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/sensho/good-times License code: XH2BAQWKJQE9DTBZ Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/sensho/tribe License code: B7OWOZ0UBCQ2RZ7J
