Death-Free Diet Fantasies vs. Regenerative Farm-To-Fork Food of the Future w/ Mollie Engelhart #547

You may have heard, Mollie Engelhart’s name is in the news. A second generation restaurateur, chef Mollie Engelhart leads two locations of her Sage Regenerative Kitchen in SOCAL and has opened a sprawling homesteader/hosting/hospitality business here in Texas, Sovereignty Ranch. But the internet pitchforks are out over her shift to regenerative farming. A vegetarian herself, and longtime vegan, Mollie took it upon herself to learn the intricacies of farming – a practice made familiar by her father and a life spent in the food industry. In doing so, she realized the pitfalls of veganism and the potential benefits of regenerative farming. Our conversation covers this shift in ideology – and in menu offerings – which has ignited fury among the staunch vegan community, how and why she was called to make such a change, working through protests at her restaurants, and what it could mean for her business in the future. We also talk about her experience running brick-and-mortar restaurants in the epicenter of squashed rights, the red-pill moment which led to clashes with her own staff, and our shared pull to Texas, to freedom, and the differences in bureaucracy we’ve seen since relocating here. Mollie is passionate and informed, a killer combo for anyone looking to shake up well-established norms and expectations. Her methods are the future, and her voice is one we’ll be hearing a lot more of in the coming months and years. DISCLAIMER: This podcast is presented for educational and exploratory purposes only.
