Question:

What are some of your favorite Whole Food, Plant-Based items to serve for Thanksgiving when your guests are not typically Whole Food, Plant-Based?

— Melissa Bryant

Answer:

Um, if we serve delicious food to people, they will enjoy it. And we don't, I don't think we need to talk it up, um, necessarily, uh, as being plant-based, because, uh, those two words can be offputting to a lot of folks. Um, for no logical reason. It's totally an emotional reaction. But, um, you know, understanding that we can just emphasize the good food and, uh, go from there. You know, if, if the, if folks are really gonna be resistant, then after your beautiful meal, they can stop someplace and get their meat fixed. But, um, our goal, uh, is to simply prepare a variety of foods that look beautiful, that are cooked properly, that are seasoned just right, and, uh, really are delicious, um, for anybody you know, who would try them.
