Wow, how did you get into this business

18
00:00:57,870 --> 00:01:01,690
where you literally are travelling the world eating

19
00:01:01,690 --> 00:01:03,650
the best vegan food on the planet?

20
00:01:03,769 --> 00:01:04,890
Must be nice.

21
00:01:06,670 --> 00:01:07,350
Thank you.

22
00:01:07,430 --> 00:01:08,010
Hi, Jane.

23
00:01:08,130 --> 00:01:09,750
Thank you for having me on here.

24
00:01:09,930 --> 00:01:10,710
Oh, my gosh.

25
00:01:10,750 --> 00:01:12,310
It's been a journey.

26
00:01:12,890 --> 00:01:15,470
It's funny because when I started, I wasn't

27
00:01:15,470 --> 00:01:17,870
initially kind of thinking it as a business.

28
00:01:17,970 --> 00:01:19,810
Obviously, like most content creators, they kind of

29
00:01:19,810 --> 00:01:21,830
start like, oh, let me just try this,

30
00:01:21,870 --> 00:01:22,030
right?

31
00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:24,790
I literally started about a little over five

32
00:01:24,790 --> 00:01:28,010
years ago with an iPhone 7 and a

33
00:01:28,010 --> 00:01:31,070
big idea and had no clue what I

34
00:01:31,070 --> 00:01:31,430
was doing.

35
00:01:31,630 --> 00:01:33,590
I just knew that I somehow wanted to

36
00:01:33,590 --> 00:01:35,250
showcase worthy vegan food.

37
00:01:35,530 --> 00:01:37,470
At the time, I was still, I had

38
00:01:37,470 --> 00:01:38,990
just become plant-based, so I had just

39
00:01:38,990 --> 00:01:41,890
become vegetarian with the goal of eventually becoming

40
00:01:41,890 --> 00:01:42,250
vegan.

41
00:01:43,570 --> 00:01:46,330
And then the reason I did it was

42
00:01:46,330 --> 00:01:48,510
because I, growing up, I've always been exposed

43
00:01:48,510 --> 00:01:50,470
to vegan vegetarian food, and I liked it,

44
00:01:50,490 --> 00:01:50,650
right?

45
00:01:50,670 --> 00:01:52,030
So I kind of grew up side by

46
00:01:52,030 --> 00:01:53,230
side trying both foods.

47
00:01:53,230 --> 00:01:55,330
So I always knew that vegan food was

48
00:01:55,330 --> 00:01:57,650
very delicious and it was very creative to

49
00:01:57,650 --> 00:01:58,210
cook with.

50
00:01:58,770 --> 00:02:01,010
I started using it more at home.

51
00:02:01,130 --> 00:02:03,430
Like I would, you know, experiment with vegan

52
00:02:03,430 --> 00:02:03,930
baking.

53
00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:06,470
And then, so I've always had this interest

54
00:02:06,470 --> 00:02:08,410
in health and vegan food, right?

55
00:02:09,190 --> 00:02:12,030
And then there was one time where I

56
00:02:12,030 --> 00:02:14,730
watched a documentary called What the Health?

57
00:02:15,170 --> 00:02:17,230
And I remember after watching it, I was

58
00:02:17,230 --> 00:02:19,050
just like, I literally was like, I know

59
00:02:19,050 --> 00:02:19,490
too much.

60
00:02:19,710 --> 00:02:21,030
I know too much information now.

61
00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:22,010
I don't know.

62
00:02:22,330 --> 00:02:23,650
I know I need to just stop eating

63
00:02:23,650 --> 00:02:23,890
meat.

64
00:02:24,010 --> 00:02:25,030
Like it was one of those things where

65
00:02:25,030 --> 00:02:26,950
I was like, I need to eventually move

66
00:02:26,950 --> 00:02:28,150
toward a vegan diet.

67
00:02:28,650 --> 00:02:30,670
You know, it's one of those, and that's

68
00:02:30,670 --> 00:02:33,630
the beautiful thing of these documentaries, and particularly

69
00:02:33,630 --> 00:02:34,950
that style of that one, I really liked

70
00:02:34,950 --> 00:02:36,170
how it was very health focused, but it

71
00:02:36,170 --> 00:02:37,770
also touched on, you know, like the ethical

72
00:02:37,770 --> 00:02:40,270
side of like the food, like what the

73
00:02:40,270 --> 00:02:42,890
food industry is doing, like how veganism can

74
00:02:42,890 --> 00:02:46,970
really help, you know, be more ethical with

75
00:02:46,970 --> 00:02:47,570
your choices, right?

76
00:02:47,630 --> 00:02:49,930
So at the time though, I was, and

77
00:02:49,930 --> 00:02:52,190
I still am a huge consumer of food

78
00:02:52,190 --> 00:02:54,990
and travel shows and the food YouTubers that

79
00:02:54,990 --> 00:02:57,130
would go around and review a bunch of

80
00:02:57,130 --> 00:02:57,290
time.

81
00:02:57,430 --> 00:02:59,070
One of my favourites were the Fung Bros.

82
00:02:59,310 --> 00:03:00,110
They still are.

83
00:03:00,710 --> 00:03:02,410
And they would go around to different restaurants

84
00:03:02,410 --> 00:03:04,430
and just educate people on the type of

85
00:03:04,430 --> 00:03:07,550
food and what to order, et cetera.

86
00:03:08,910 --> 00:03:11,210
But when I decided to go plant-based,

87
00:03:11,290 --> 00:03:13,810
I was like still watching the same content.

88
00:03:13,830 --> 00:03:15,250
And I was like, I can't eat that

89
00:03:15,250 --> 00:03:15,550
anymore.

90
00:03:15,730 --> 00:03:16,850
I can't eat that anymore.

91
00:03:17,230 --> 00:03:18,330
I can't eat that anymore.

92
00:03:18,330 --> 00:03:19,010
You know what I mean?

93
00:03:19,050 --> 00:03:20,390
So I was like, oh my gosh, how

94
00:03:20,390 --> 00:03:23,470
come nobody has like content on YouTube where

95
00:03:23,470 --> 00:03:26,590
you're going around reviewing food from different cities

96
00:03:26,590 --> 00:03:29,550
or countries, but, you know, plant-based.

97
00:03:29,610 --> 00:03:30,550
So I was like, you know what?

98
00:03:31,090 --> 00:03:32,090
I think I want to do this.

99
00:03:32,110 --> 00:03:33,010
And at the time I was like, you

100
00:03:33,010 --> 00:03:33,210
know what?

101
00:03:33,250 --> 00:03:34,830
I would love to start some kind of

102
00:03:34,830 --> 00:03:38,030
content creation, like business eventually, you know?

103
00:03:38,070 --> 00:03:39,650
So like, let me just play into this.

104
00:03:40,170 --> 00:03:42,290
So this is my encouragement to anybody who's

105
00:03:42,290 --> 00:03:44,990
thinking of starting something new, literally don't overthink

106
00:03:44,990 --> 00:03:45,230
it.

107
00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:46,690
Start with what you have.

108
00:03:46,690 --> 00:03:50,370
Again, I had an iPhone 7, and I

109
00:03:50,370 --> 00:03:54,190
Googled what, you know, microphone should you use

110
00:03:54,190 --> 00:03:55,130
for vlogging, right?

111
00:03:55,230 --> 00:03:56,790
And so just like, I started with the

112
00:03:56,790 --> 00:03:59,630
bare minimum and kind of just took it

113
00:03:59,630 --> 00:04:00,090
from there.

114
00:04:00,430 --> 00:04:02,550
Obviously from there, I started refining more and

115
00:04:02,550 --> 00:04:03,650
more of like the storytelling.

116
00:04:04,570 --> 00:04:07,130
I had the opportunity then to live in

117
00:04:07,130 --> 00:04:08,910
Spain for two years because I did a

118
00:04:08,910 --> 00:04:10,050
teaching English programme.

119
00:04:11,650 --> 00:04:13,610
And that's where I got to film a

120
00:04:13,610 --> 00:04:15,850
lot of places in Spain and a lot

121
00:04:15,850 --> 00:04:17,649
of places in like, and other places in

122
00:04:17,649 --> 00:04:17,890
Europe.

123
00:04:18,029 --> 00:04:19,269
So I got to go to Paris and

124
00:04:19,269 --> 00:04:21,970
London and, you know, Portugal and all these

125
00:04:21,970 --> 00:04:22,490
other places.

126
00:04:22,530 --> 00:04:24,690
And so it really allowed me to have

127
00:04:24,690 --> 00:04:27,090
more time to really focus on the YouTube

128
00:04:27,090 --> 00:04:28,490
channel that I had.

129
00:04:28,570 --> 00:04:31,790
And now, you know, then I upgraded to

130
00:04:31,790 --> 00:04:32,230
a camera.

131
00:04:32,310 --> 00:04:33,370
So now I use a camera.

132
00:04:34,470 --> 00:04:35,510
You know, like.

133
00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:39,150
We are going to hear all about your

134
00:04:39,150 --> 00:04:39,710
travels.

135
00:04:39,950 --> 00:04:42,670
Like I say, you figured out like possibly

136
00:04:42,670 --> 00:04:45,530
the best job on the planet for a

137
00:04:45,530 --> 00:04:45,810
vegan.

138
00:04:46,110 --> 00:04:50,630
Travelling the world and sampling the best, most

139
00:04:50,630 --> 00:04:53,810
gourmet or the most fabulous street food in

140
00:04:53,810 --> 00:04:56,090
the world that is 100% vegan.

141
00:04:56,210 --> 00:04:58,650
We're going to reveal your top five secrets

142
00:04:58,650 --> 00:05:01,310
for enjoying vegan travel in the show.

143
00:05:01,390 --> 00:05:02,570
But first we've got a caller.

144
00:05:03,210 --> 00:05:05,330
We've got Paige in Los Angeles.

145
00:05:05,710 --> 00:05:08,650
Your question or thought for Unistray is.

146
00:05:11,670 --> 00:05:12,850
Oh my gosh.

147
00:05:12,970 --> 00:05:15,530
I love what you just shared because I

148
00:05:15,530 --> 00:05:19,070
feel like sometimes people think that we're deprived

149
00:05:19,070 --> 00:05:19,710
as vegans.

150
00:05:19,830 --> 00:05:21,090
We're not going to get the best food.

151
00:05:21,730 --> 00:05:23,270
And I love that you're like, oh no,

152
00:05:23,370 --> 00:05:24,390
I can do this.

153
00:05:24,490 --> 00:05:25,650
So that's the first thing I want to

154
00:05:25,650 --> 00:05:25,770
say.

155
00:05:25,810 --> 00:05:27,070
Thank you so much for the work you

156
00:05:27,070 --> 00:05:27,270
do.

157
00:05:27,770 --> 00:05:30,190
Secondly, I want to ask you this question.

158
00:05:30,850 --> 00:05:33,410
How do we get your show and the

159
00:05:33,410 --> 00:05:35,230
other things that are on the fabulous streaming

160
00:05:35,230 --> 00:05:39,870
network, out to the main stream people?

161
00:05:40,170 --> 00:05:40,890
How do we do that?

162
00:05:40,950 --> 00:05:41,510
What are your thoughts?

163
00:05:42,650 --> 00:05:45,390
So that's actually my big dream.

164
00:05:45,590 --> 00:05:47,750
Like when I first started this, I was

165
00:05:47,750 --> 00:05:50,250
like, you know what, one day I want

166
00:05:50,250 --> 00:05:52,650
to be on like Netflix or like some

167
00:05:52,650 --> 00:05:54,310
major streaming platform, right?

168
00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:57,290
Because my goal, and this is something that

169
00:05:57,290 --> 00:05:59,330
I like to share, is my goal is

170
00:05:59,330 --> 00:06:00,910
not to convert people to veganism.

171
00:06:01,070 --> 00:06:02,170
I know some people are like, what?

172
00:06:02,250 --> 00:06:02,730
What do you mean?

173
00:06:02,770 --> 00:06:03,630
But your channel is all vegan.

174
00:06:03,630 --> 00:06:06,290
Like, no, my goal is actually to like

175
00:06:06,290 --> 00:06:08,070
show people a positive experience.

176
00:06:08,070 --> 00:06:10,590
Have them have a positive experience with vegan

177
00:06:10,590 --> 00:06:12,890
food and excite them about vegan food.

178
00:06:13,190 --> 00:06:14,970
Like, obviously I'm vegan and I'm all for

179
00:06:14,970 --> 00:06:15,410
a vegan diet.

180
00:06:15,530 --> 00:06:17,070
I will like, you know, talk about like

181
00:06:17,070 --> 00:06:17,930
how amazing it is.

182
00:06:18,110 --> 00:06:20,230
But for someone who's not vegan, if they

183
00:06:20,230 --> 00:06:21,630
were to watch my channel, I want them

184
00:06:21,630 --> 00:06:22,990
to get excited and be like, hey, like,

185
00:06:23,430 --> 00:06:24,610
you know, I don't eat that, but I

186
00:06:24,610 --> 00:06:25,910
kind of want to try it, right?

187
00:06:26,230 --> 00:06:28,350
And so, you know, I love storytelling.

188
00:06:28,370 --> 00:06:31,390
I love interviewing chefs as to why they

189
00:06:31,390 --> 00:06:32,310
choose to go vegan.

190
00:06:32,310 --> 00:06:34,370
I've met so many incredible people on my

191
00:06:34,370 --> 00:06:36,650
travels and like why they started their businesses,

192
00:06:36,830 --> 00:06:37,930
like why they started vegan food.

193
00:06:38,030 --> 00:06:39,870
Like one amazing story I love is like,

194
00:06:39,950 --> 00:06:44,430
for example, in Spain, this family had an

195
00:06:44,430 --> 00:06:48,710
all vegan meat shop in the central market

196
00:06:48,710 --> 00:06:52,430
in Spain, surrounded by other butchers, which you

197
00:06:52,430 --> 00:06:53,450
would think that's extreme.

198
00:06:53,730 --> 00:06:55,350
Like, why would you go in there as

199
00:06:55,350 --> 00:06:55,710
a vegan?

200
00:06:56,150 --> 00:06:57,750
But they were doing, that was like their

201
00:06:57,750 --> 00:07:00,170
form of advocacy of being like, and the

202
00:07:00,170 --> 00:07:03,270
story that they would often get is people

203
00:07:03,270 --> 00:07:05,270
would, like an old grandpa would come in

204
00:07:05,270 --> 00:07:08,230
and be like, hey, my doctor said I

205
00:07:08,230 --> 00:07:10,390
can't eat meat anymore, but you sell vegan

206
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:12,410
meat and I want to try it and

207
00:07:12,410 --> 00:07:13,190
it tastes just the same.

208
00:07:13,250 --> 00:07:14,490
So now I'm happy that I don't have

209
00:07:14,490 --> 00:07:15,950
to give the food I grew up with,

210
00:07:15,970 --> 00:07:16,170
right?

211
00:07:16,790 --> 00:07:18,830
And it helps lower the cholesterol, all that

212
00:07:18,830 --> 00:07:19,270
stuff, right?

213
00:07:19,690 --> 00:07:20,950
So anyway, sorry, I kind of went on

214
00:07:20,950 --> 00:07:23,790
a tangent, but to answer your question, my

215
00:07:23,790 --> 00:07:25,710
goal is to eventually work with other people

216
00:07:25,710 --> 00:07:27,050
that obviously I can't do this right now

217
00:07:27,050 --> 00:07:28,250
at the level I'm at, I'm a one

218
00:07:28,250 --> 00:07:28,690
man show.

219
00:07:28,690 --> 00:07:31,110
So I need bigger help to come in

220
00:07:31,110 --> 00:07:33,250
to make that dream come true of how

221
00:07:33,250 --> 00:07:34,250
to get it to the main audience.

222
00:07:34,410 --> 00:07:36,530
But obviously being on Unchained, that helps a

223
00:07:36,530 --> 00:07:36,710
lot.

224
00:07:36,810 --> 00:07:37,690
That's one stepping stone.

225
00:07:37,790 --> 00:07:38,630
So thank you, Jane.

226
00:07:39,230 --> 00:07:41,250
And just thank you also for your support

227
00:07:41,250 --> 00:07:46,810
and appreciating the travel that I'm sharing.

228
00:07:47,190 --> 00:07:48,210
Well, guess what?

229
00:07:48,270 --> 00:07:50,610
We're also aiming for the mainstream because we're

230
00:07:50,610 --> 00:07:53,630
a global streaming network growing every single day.

231
00:07:53,970 --> 00:07:55,350
Boy, you've got callers here.

232
00:07:55,730 --> 00:07:58,210
Tiffany in Los Angeles, we're going to whip

233
00:07:58,210 --> 00:07:59,690
through these because they're lining up.

234
00:07:59,750 --> 00:08:01,910
Your question or thought for Eunice Reyes, star

235
00:08:01,910 --> 00:08:03,670
of Rated V for Vegan.

236
00:08:05,090 --> 00:08:07,310
Hi, Jane, thank you for taking my call.

237
00:08:07,430 --> 00:08:10,170
Yes, this is making me so hungry.

238
00:08:11,050 --> 00:08:13,730
Have you thought about doing any, I know,

239
00:08:13,910 --> 00:08:15,930
I'm like, where can I find some of

240
00:08:15,930 --> 00:08:16,090
this?

241
00:08:16,190 --> 00:08:18,130
Have you thought about doing any tours?

242
00:08:18,710 --> 00:08:20,810
Line me up where you take people on

243
00:08:20,810 --> 00:08:21,290
a tour.

244
00:08:22,490 --> 00:08:23,390
So funny.

245
00:08:24,830 --> 00:08:26,850
Yes, so funny actually that you mentioned that.

246
00:08:26,850 --> 00:08:29,750
I actually have a vegan trip to Vietnam

247
00:08:29,750 --> 00:08:31,010
coming up in November.

248
00:08:31,370 --> 00:08:33,470
You are still able to sign up if

249
00:08:33,470 --> 00:08:34,070
you're interested.

250
00:08:34,510 --> 00:08:38,770
I'm also helping promote the vegan itinerary in

251
00:08:38,770 --> 00:08:39,650
Seoul, South Korea.

252
00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:41,130
That one is coming up really quick though

253
00:08:41,130 --> 00:08:41,890
at end of May.

254
00:08:42,409 --> 00:08:44,570
So there are vegan itineraries that I've partnered

255
00:08:44,570 --> 00:08:45,250
with different people.

256
00:08:45,410 --> 00:08:47,390
I will actually be at the one right

257
00:08:47,390 --> 00:08:49,270
now in November in Vietnam.

258
00:08:49,670 --> 00:08:51,090
That's a seven day itinerary.

259
00:08:51,410 --> 00:08:53,390
So there you can check out more out

260
00:08:53,390 --> 00:08:55,230
on my Instagram page.

261
00:08:55,230 --> 00:08:57,890
You'll see a Vietnam channel on my page

262
00:08:57,890 --> 00:08:59,990
or even my LinkedIn bio to get more

263
00:08:59,990 --> 00:09:00,370
information.

264
00:09:00,530 --> 00:09:02,530
But yes, I'm starting to do that.

265
00:09:02,630 --> 00:09:03,530
And I think it's going to be a

266
00:09:03,530 --> 00:09:06,470
lot of fun because I just love travelling

267
00:09:06,470 --> 00:09:08,450
and it'd be fun to meet other vegans

268
00:09:08,450 --> 00:09:10,010
who are also passionate about vegan food and

269
00:09:10,010 --> 00:09:10,310
travel.

270
00:09:10,490 --> 00:09:12,190
So those are some options.

271
00:09:12,590 --> 00:09:14,330
That's a great idea.

272
00:09:14,730 --> 00:09:18,010
I actually sent my late mother on a

273
00:09:18,010 --> 00:09:22,690
trip to Vietnam through a museum and she

274
00:09:22,690 --> 00:09:25,510
had the time of her life and it

275
00:09:25,510 --> 00:09:27,210
was really one of the highlights of her

276
00:09:27,210 --> 00:09:27,670
life.

277
00:09:27,870 --> 00:09:30,490
And so she was just filled with stories

278
00:09:30,490 --> 00:09:33,330
for years about Vietnam and what an incredible

279
00:09:33,330 --> 00:09:34,810
place it is and the incredible people.

280
00:09:35,150 --> 00:09:36,910
Actually brings tears to my eyes just thinking

281
00:09:36,910 --> 00:09:37,550
about that.

282
00:09:37,750 --> 00:09:40,330
That sounds like something I would love to

283
00:09:40,330 --> 00:09:40,610
do.

284
00:09:41,050 --> 00:09:46,330
Again, tell everybody your Instagram handle because they

285
00:09:46,330 --> 00:09:48,250
can DM you if they're interested in that

286
00:09:48,250 --> 00:09:48,530
tour.

287
00:09:49,290 --> 00:09:49,610
Yes.

288
00:09:49,730 --> 00:09:53,250
So it's at RatedVFood on Instagram.

289
00:09:53,250 --> 00:09:54,090
Got it.

290
00:09:54,210 --> 00:09:55,890
Okay, we've got another caller.

291
00:09:56,450 --> 00:09:59,130
Lindsay in Tarzana, your question or thought for

292
00:09:59,130 --> 00:09:59,870
Eunice Reyes.

293
00:10:01,610 --> 00:10:04,490
I just wanted to say, I am so

294
00:10:04,490 --> 00:10:06,310
honoured to meet you.

295
00:10:06,570 --> 00:10:10,250
And the reason being just for two things,

296
00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:14,070
I have a husband that, he loves to

297
00:10:14,070 --> 00:10:15,690
travel and he said to me when I

298
00:10:15,690 --> 00:10:19,510
became vegan, oh, well that ruins everything because

299
00:10:19,510 --> 00:10:22,310
when you go to travel, you want to

300
00:10:22,310 --> 00:10:23,930
go and experience the food.

301
00:10:24,130 --> 00:10:26,970
So this is a wonderful way to watch

302
00:10:26,970 --> 00:10:28,590
your show and to see what you're doing,

303
00:10:28,690 --> 00:10:30,730
to learn about that and to have places

304
00:10:30,730 --> 00:10:31,310
to go.

305
00:10:32,110 --> 00:10:34,510
The second thing, I think you're a super

306
00:10:34,510 --> 00:10:38,010
inspiration to all of us that are in

307
00:10:38,010 --> 00:10:42,070
the vegan community and you became an entrepreneur

308
00:10:42,070 --> 00:10:44,410
and was able to do what you're doing

309
00:10:44,410 --> 00:10:46,250
and be an inspiration for other people.

310
00:10:47,310 --> 00:10:48,650
Oh, thank you so much.

311
00:10:49,890 --> 00:10:51,310
Yeah, thank you.

312
00:10:51,970 --> 00:10:54,370
Well, I think she's absolutely right.

313
00:10:54,610 --> 00:10:57,210
You basically are doing what everybody would like

314
00:10:57,210 --> 00:10:57,550
to do.

315
00:10:57,650 --> 00:10:58,850
Frankly, I'd like to do it.

316
00:10:58,870 --> 00:11:01,090
I'd like to travel the world and just

317
00:11:01,090 --> 00:11:02,410
sample the best vegan food.

318
00:11:02,750 --> 00:11:07,690
I've done that somewhat, vegan Berlin, vegan England,

319
00:11:08,790 --> 00:11:11,230
but not to the extent that you've done

320
00:11:11,230 --> 00:11:11,470
it.

321
00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:14,790
And what I really like, and as soon

322
00:11:14,790 --> 00:11:17,010
as we get this next caller in, I'm

323
00:11:17,010 --> 00:11:19,670
gonna play a couple of clips of you

324
00:11:19,670 --> 00:11:23,230
diving deep into the ethnic food of the

325
00:11:23,230 --> 00:11:24,510
regions that you're at.

326
00:11:24,730 --> 00:11:26,470
Let's get one more caller.

327
00:11:27,230 --> 00:11:28,830
Nilofar in Dallas, Texas.

328
00:11:29,010 --> 00:11:31,150
Your question or thought for Eunice Reyes, star

329
00:11:31,150 --> 00:11:33,730
of Rated V for Vegan on Unchained TV.

330
00:11:35,490 --> 00:11:39,470
Hi, my question is for Jane in regards

331
00:11:39,470 --> 00:11:41,350
to the fabulous Eunice.

332
00:11:41,770 --> 00:11:44,070
Jane, how did you discover Eunice?

333
00:11:45,410 --> 00:11:49,590
Well, I, you know, I'm always, okay, because

334
00:11:49,590 --> 00:11:52,030
I have a vegan streaming network, which is

335
00:11:52,030 --> 00:11:54,590
right behind me here on my Samsung TV

336
00:11:54,590 --> 00:11:56,150
with 2000 videos.

337
00:11:56,390 --> 00:11:58,270
And I'll tell you, we get videos in

338
00:11:58,270 --> 00:11:58,910
all the time.

339
00:11:59,030 --> 00:12:01,150
I stay up till one o'clock almost

340
00:12:01,150 --> 00:12:01,870
every night.

341
00:12:01,970 --> 00:12:06,150
Well, you know, let's be realistic, maybe 1030

342
00:12:06,150 --> 00:12:08,390
at night uploading videos.

343
00:12:08,550 --> 00:12:09,970
But I'll tell you, a lot of them

344
00:12:09,970 --> 00:12:12,490
are serious, depressing videos about what's happening to

345
00:12:12,490 --> 00:12:12,870
animals.

346
00:12:12,870 --> 00:12:15,730
I'm always on the lookout for something fun

347
00:12:15,730 --> 00:12:17,510
because we got to get people in the

348
00:12:17,510 --> 00:12:17,730
tent.

349
00:12:17,870 --> 00:12:19,470
We got to show them that veganism is

350
00:12:19,470 --> 00:12:20,950
a joyous experience.

351
00:12:21,250 --> 00:12:24,570
And it's not just about ending animal suffering.

352
00:12:24,570 --> 00:12:25,370
That's a big thing.

353
00:12:25,370 --> 00:12:27,470
But we want to show that we're happy.

354
00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:31,770
My worst day as a vegan is better

355
00:12:31,770 --> 00:12:33,450
than my best day eating animals.

356
00:12:33,970 --> 00:12:36,370
And so when I saw Eunice Reyes and

357
00:12:36,370 --> 00:12:39,450
her videos on YouTube and she's having a

358
00:12:39,450 --> 00:12:42,190
great time and I'm learning about these different

359
00:12:42,190 --> 00:12:43,670
cultures and these different places.

360
00:12:43,890 --> 00:12:46,710
And I just was like, we have to

361
00:12:46,710 --> 00:12:48,270
have her on Unshade TV.

362
00:12:48,710 --> 00:12:49,730
She's fun.

363
00:12:49,930 --> 00:12:51,950
And people who are vegan or not vegan

364
00:12:51,950 --> 00:12:53,830
are going to be interested in watching her

365
00:12:53,830 --> 00:12:56,370
because you feel like you're in the country

366
00:12:56,370 --> 00:13:00,070
when you are watching these videos.

367
00:13:00,310 --> 00:13:01,850
You feel like you've just gotten on a

368
00:13:01,850 --> 00:13:03,630
plane and taken a trip there.

369
00:13:03,750 --> 00:13:06,790
And I want to play exhibit A.

370
00:13:07,650 --> 00:13:12,230
Okay, Mexico City is one of the top

371
00:13:12,230 --> 00:13:13,510
vegan cities in the world now.

372
00:13:13,530 --> 00:13:14,650
And I want you to talk about this

373
00:13:14,650 --> 00:13:15,450
on the other side.

374
00:13:15,650 --> 00:13:20,110
But they created a vegan meat that usually

375
00:13:20,110 --> 00:13:22,210
you see on a spit and usually I

376
00:13:22,210 --> 00:13:22,650
go, oh.

377
00:13:24,270 --> 00:13:26,710
You've got to check this out because it

378
00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:27,610
looks like meat.

379
00:13:27,730 --> 00:13:30,350
You say it tastes like meat, but it

380
00:13:30,350 --> 00:13:31,830
is not meat.

381
00:13:32,290 --> 00:13:35,810
And it is something absolutely fantastic.

382
00:13:35,810 --> 00:13:40,610
Let me, here it is.

383
00:13:41,490 --> 00:13:43,750
Al Pastor in Mexico City.

384
00:13:43,890 --> 00:13:45,390
Check this out and tell me if you

385
00:13:45,390 --> 00:13:48,090
think it looks like meat, but it's not.

386
00:13:48,470 --> 00:13:50,370
Every day, the vegan Al Pastor is made

387
00:13:50,370 --> 00:13:52,570
out of wheat gluten and marinated for 24

388
00:13:52,570 --> 00:13:52,990
hours.

389
00:13:53,250 --> 00:13:55,190
Then it's hand-picked to form the perfect

390
00:13:55,190 --> 00:13:56,030
shape on the spit.

391
00:13:56,470 --> 00:13:58,750
The iconic pineapple is then placed on the

392
00:13:58,750 --> 00:14:00,390
spit as the base for the meat to

393
00:14:00,390 --> 00:14:00,890
be formed.

394
00:14:07,530 --> 00:14:10,130
And cut and grilled for the perfect juicy

395
00:14:10,130 --> 00:14:10,670
crisp.

396
00:14:11,850 --> 00:14:13,950
Then it's, of course, served with locally made

397
00:14:13,950 --> 00:14:16,890
tortillas garnished and topped with the iconic pineapple.

398
00:14:17,970 --> 00:14:20,510
Okay, and now it's time for the best

399
00:14:20,510 --> 00:14:22,930
part to try the Al Pastor tacos that

400
00:14:22,930 --> 00:14:24,510
they are known for.

401
00:14:24,930 --> 00:14:28,070
I have been eyeing this thing just from

402
00:14:28,070 --> 00:14:29,070
seeing it on the spit.

403
00:14:29,170 --> 00:14:30,890
Oh, my gosh, it looks absolutely amazing.

404
00:14:31,210 --> 00:14:33,630
I topped it off with their guacamole salsa.

405
00:14:33,630 --> 00:14:36,510
It's guacamole habanero, so it's the spiciest one

406
00:14:36,510 --> 00:14:38,330
that they have here at the restaurant.

407
00:14:38,550 --> 00:14:40,330
They serve it with beans on the side.

408
00:14:40,830 --> 00:14:42,710
It's just, oh, I love that they put

409
00:14:42,710 --> 00:14:45,230
the double tortilla, so it's like a really

410
00:14:45,230 --> 00:14:46,130
good filling meal.

411
00:14:46,430 --> 00:14:47,530
All right, cheers.

412
00:14:53,690 --> 00:14:57,190
♪♪♪ I love that the meat is, like,

413
00:14:57,210 --> 00:14:58,810
really juicy inside.

414
00:14:59,190 --> 00:15:00,870
It has that nice char on the outside.

415
00:15:01,010 --> 00:15:02,130
The colour is beautiful.

416
00:15:02,130 --> 00:15:04,170
Due to the adobo sauce that they put

417
00:15:04,170 --> 00:15:06,090
on top, it's the perfect spice level.

418
00:15:06,850 --> 00:15:07,950
It has a great flavour.

419
00:15:08,110 --> 00:15:09,350
It doesn't feel dry.

420
00:15:09,510 --> 00:15:10,150
It feels meaty.

421
00:15:10,390 --> 00:15:12,470
It hits that spot for that craving that

422
00:15:12,470 --> 00:15:12,810
you want.

423
00:15:13,530 --> 00:15:15,090
Especially if you're in Mexico City, you want

424
00:15:15,090 --> 00:15:15,770
Al Pastor tacos.

425
00:15:15,930 --> 00:15:17,210
Come on, like, that's what they're known for

426
00:15:17,210 --> 00:15:17,450
here.

427
00:15:17,850 --> 00:15:18,990
So you don't have to miss out.

428
00:15:19,190 --> 00:15:20,590
You get to enjoy that as well.

429
00:15:20,830 --> 00:15:22,430
I love that the pineapple gives that sense

430
00:15:22,430 --> 00:15:22,890
of sweetness.

431
00:15:23,230 --> 00:15:24,730
The lemon that you put on top is

432
00:15:24,730 --> 00:15:24,950
great.

433
00:15:25,030 --> 00:15:26,230
You have to get this.

434
00:15:27,230 --> 00:15:29,610
This was incredible to me because I see

435
00:15:29,610 --> 00:15:32,890
these spits with meat when I see street

436
00:15:32,890 --> 00:15:35,610
food wherever I go, and, frankly, I'm repulsed.

437
00:15:35,790 --> 00:15:38,950
But you have just totally shown us how

438
00:15:38,950 --> 00:15:40,610
it could be reinvented.

439
00:15:40,730 --> 00:15:42,010
How did you discover that?

440
00:15:42,310 --> 00:15:44,150
And how do we get that to Los

441
00:15:44,150 --> 00:15:45,730
Angeles and all over the world?

442
00:15:46,490 --> 00:15:47,390
That's what I've been saying.

443
00:15:47,470 --> 00:15:48,390
I was like, how do we get this

444
00:15:48,390 --> 00:15:49,050
to Los Angeles?

445
00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:53,430
So I actually had heard about it from

446
00:15:53,430 --> 00:15:53,990
a few people.

447
00:15:54,110 --> 00:15:55,350
They had recommended it to me when I

448
00:15:55,350 --> 00:15:56,650
started telling them that I was travelling through

449
00:15:56,650 --> 00:15:57,150
Mexico City.

450
00:15:57,270 --> 00:15:58,470
And so when I found them on Instagram,

451
00:15:58,490 --> 00:16:00,070
I was like, oh, my gosh, I have

452
00:16:00,070 --> 00:16:00,590
to go here.

453
00:16:00,590 --> 00:16:02,750
So for those wondering what it's made out

454
00:16:02,750 --> 00:16:04,130
of, it's made out of vital wheat gluten,

455
00:16:04,310 --> 00:16:05,550
so AKA seitan, right?

456
00:16:06,290 --> 00:16:07,890
But they just rolled it out and moulded

457
00:16:07,890 --> 00:16:09,090
it in the same way that it would

458
00:16:09,090 --> 00:16:09,930
look like meat, right?

459
00:16:10,270 --> 00:16:12,990
Food is so iconic in Mexico City, or

460
00:16:12,990 --> 00:16:13,650
just Mexico.

461
00:16:13,830 --> 00:16:15,730
Food is a big deal in all of

462
00:16:15,730 --> 00:16:16,710
Latino culture.

463
00:16:17,470 --> 00:16:19,930
And what I love about this restaurant, their

464
00:16:19,930 --> 00:16:22,130
story was like, no, we wanted to kind

465
00:16:22,130 --> 00:16:24,770
of show people you don't have to give

466
00:16:24,770 --> 00:16:26,070
up the food that you grew up with.

467
00:16:26,190 --> 00:16:27,830
And we also wanted to make it accessible.

468
00:16:28,010 --> 00:16:30,050
So their prices are very reasonable.

469
00:16:30,050 --> 00:16:32,530
They're not expensive because they didn't want that

470
00:16:32,530 --> 00:16:34,170
stigma of like, just because it's vegan, it's

471
00:16:34,170 --> 00:16:34,910
expensive, right?

472
00:16:34,970 --> 00:16:37,110
Because a lot of restaurants here kind of

473
00:16:37,110 --> 00:16:37,790
can be, right?

474
00:16:40,330 --> 00:16:42,250
But I just, I love the two, like

475
00:16:42,250 --> 00:16:44,170
they have a little sign that says vegan,

476
00:16:44,470 --> 00:16:44,710
right?

477
00:16:44,750 --> 00:16:46,370
But because it's on the street and they

478
00:16:46,370 --> 00:16:48,330
have it, you know, it first started as

479
00:16:48,330 --> 00:16:49,890
a food cart, like a little, like the

480
00:16:49,890 --> 00:16:51,450
taco carts, like you see all over Mexico

481
00:16:51,450 --> 00:16:51,790
City.

482
00:16:52,630 --> 00:16:54,550
So that was how they first started and

483
00:16:54,550 --> 00:16:55,730
now they expanded to the restaurant.

484
00:16:55,930 --> 00:16:57,870
So they have the al pastor, like the

485
00:16:57,870 --> 00:16:59,030
spit on the street.

486
00:16:59,030 --> 00:17:01,070
And they said one time, this guy comes

487
00:17:01,070 --> 00:17:03,530
in, has no idea that it's vegan because

488
00:17:03,530 --> 00:17:05,670
you wouldn't know, honestly, walking by it, you

489
00:17:05,670 --> 00:17:07,010
would have no idea it's vegan.

490
00:17:07,250 --> 00:17:09,609
He comes in, he orders his tacos, right?

491
00:17:09,630 --> 00:17:11,550
Because the menu also is like carnitas, al

492
00:17:11,550 --> 00:17:13,530
pastor, it doesn't really say vegan, except for

493
00:17:13,530 --> 00:17:14,270
the front page.

494
00:17:15,329 --> 00:17:17,770
And then the guy finishes his food and

495
00:17:17,770 --> 00:17:19,369
he goes up to the cook and he

496
00:17:19,369 --> 00:17:21,470
was like, that was the best pork I

497
00:17:21,470 --> 00:17:22,089
ever had.

498
00:17:22,270 --> 00:17:24,130
And the cook goes, that was made out

499
00:17:24,130 --> 00:17:24,550
of wheat.

500
00:17:24,990 --> 00:17:26,369
And the guy was like, what?

501
00:17:26,369 --> 00:17:27,590
So that's it.

502
00:17:27,670 --> 00:17:29,430
I just love their form of activism.

503
00:17:29,670 --> 00:17:30,950
They're just doing it through food.

504
00:17:31,270 --> 00:17:33,490
That guy probably would have never even thought

505
00:17:33,490 --> 00:17:35,770
about veganism until that day.

506
00:17:35,890 --> 00:17:37,550
He was probably like, wait, what did I

507
00:17:37,550 --> 00:17:37,990
just eat?

508
00:17:38,030 --> 00:17:39,730
That tasted like meat, but it wasn't animals,

509
00:17:39,810 --> 00:17:40,070
right?

510
00:17:40,410 --> 00:17:42,570
And so I just absolutely love that.

511
00:17:42,710 --> 00:17:44,770
And I heavily do research.

512
00:17:44,890 --> 00:17:46,090
I know we're gonna maybe talk about this

513
00:17:46,090 --> 00:17:48,050
later on like tips of vegan travel, but

514
00:17:48,050 --> 00:17:50,210
one of the things I like to say

515
00:17:50,210 --> 00:17:53,630
is, I like to look, I'm such a

516
00:17:53,630 --> 00:17:54,810
food nerd.

517
00:17:54,810 --> 00:17:56,650
Like I just love learning about food.

518
00:17:56,830 --> 00:17:58,590
And so typically something I'll do is I

519
00:17:58,590 --> 00:18:01,090
will search what the popular foods are in

520
00:18:01,090 --> 00:18:02,190
that city in general.

521
00:18:02,450 --> 00:18:04,530
Like what are the iconic foods of that

522
00:18:04,530 --> 00:18:04,790
city?

523
00:18:05,010 --> 00:18:06,790
And then once I made a list of

524
00:18:06,790 --> 00:18:08,230
like, oh, this is what they're known for.

525
00:18:08,370 --> 00:18:11,730
I'll go into Google or Instagram and then

526
00:18:11,730 --> 00:18:15,070
specifically type that dish with vegan next to

527
00:18:15,070 --> 00:18:16,090
it to see if I can find a

528
00:18:16,090 --> 00:18:17,730
restaurant that has a vegan option, right?

529
00:18:18,070 --> 00:18:20,790
So that's kind of what my thought process,

530
00:18:20,890 --> 00:18:22,470
because I wanna immerse myself in the culture

531
00:18:22,470 --> 00:18:23,510
and the food as well, right?

532
00:18:24,250 --> 00:18:24,990
Oh yeah.

533
00:18:25,190 --> 00:18:26,590
I mean, I think that's a great idea

534
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:27,490
and I've travelled a lot.

535
00:18:27,530 --> 00:18:28,570
It never occurred to me.

536
00:18:28,910 --> 00:18:31,430
And we're gonna recap that in a minute

537
00:18:31,430 --> 00:18:32,710
because that's really important.

538
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:35,170
We've got a caller, Michelle in Los Angeles.

539
00:18:35,370 --> 00:18:37,290
Your question or thought for Eunice Ray is

540
00:18:37,290 --> 00:18:38,470
rated V for vegan.

541
00:18:38,650 --> 00:18:40,470
Now streaming on Unchained TV.

542
00:18:42,310 --> 00:18:43,190
Hi, Eunice.

543
00:18:43,250 --> 00:18:45,050
I love your show.

544
00:18:45,150 --> 00:18:46,770
The first time I saw it, I was

545
00:18:46,770 --> 00:18:49,230
thinking to myself, this is what we need.

546
00:18:49,570 --> 00:18:50,770
So I have a lot of friends who

547
00:18:50,770 --> 00:18:53,630
are not vegan and the biggest thing is

548
00:18:53,630 --> 00:18:56,630
that they say going vegan, they're gonna lose

549
00:18:56,630 --> 00:18:59,290
their like heritage and the ethnicity.

550
00:18:59,550 --> 00:19:02,010
There's like no soul in vegan food and

551
00:19:02,010 --> 00:19:03,110
you found it.

552
00:19:03,350 --> 00:19:06,330
So what have you found with other people

553
00:19:06,330 --> 00:19:07,690
around you that are not vegan?

554
00:19:07,850 --> 00:19:08,850
Do they say the same?

555
00:19:09,170 --> 00:19:10,370
What's your opinion?

556
00:19:11,710 --> 00:19:12,270
Oh yeah.

557
00:19:12,590 --> 00:19:14,030
So I'm Salvadorian.

558
00:19:14,230 --> 00:19:15,490
I'm 100% Salvadorian.

559
00:19:15,710 --> 00:19:17,670
So growing up, I ate a lot of

560
00:19:17,670 --> 00:19:22,110
pupusas, which are, for those familiar, there are

561
00:19:22,110 --> 00:19:25,330
corn tortillas stuffed with cheese and beans, right?

562
00:19:25,370 --> 00:19:25,890
Those are my favourite.

563
00:19:26,010 --> 00:19:27,350
There's stuff with meats as well, but my

564
00:19:27,350 --> 00:19:28,990
favourite, that's the one.

565
00:19:30,410 --> 00:19:32,110
And there's a lot of other dishes that

566
00:19:32,110 --> 00:19:34,130
they have in Salvadorian food.

567
00:19:34,250 --> 00:19:35,990
And so when I first became vegan, I

568
00:19:35,990 --> 00:19:38,110
was like, wait, am I gonna give up

569
00:19:38,110 --> 00:19:38,590
these foods?

570
00:19:38,710 --> 00:19:41,210
And my first reaction was absolutely not.

571
00:19:41,470 --> 00:19:43,090
I love being in the kitchen and I

572
00:19:43,090 --> 00:19:45,010
knew there was gonna be a way where

573
00:19:45,010 --> 00:19:48,210
you can definitely still keep the foods that

574
00:19:48,210 --> 00:19:48,770
you eat.

575
00:19:49,050 --> 00:19:50,810
You just have to find the right alternative,

576
00:19:51,050 --> 00:19:51,250
right?

577
00:19:51,610 --> 00:19:53,930
And it's all a matter of just doing

578
00:19:53,930 --> 00:19:55,010
a little bit of research.

579
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:56,750
You do have to like cooking.

580
00:19:56,870 --> 00:19:57,730
I will have to say that.

581
00:19:57,830 --> 00:20:01,730
But even then, there's so many amazing vegan

582
00:20:01,730 --> 00:20:06,210
YouTubers and Instagrammers that cook that have done

583
00:20:06,210 --> 00:20:09,330
amazing things of keeping their heritage, but just

584
00:20:09,330 --> 00:20:10,590
finding the right alternative.

585
00:20:11,110 --> 00:20:16,070
I'm seeing Caribbean food, Chinese food, Latin American,

586
00:20:16,190 --> 00:20:18,210
but anywhere, you name it, it's out there.

587
00:20:18,610 --> 00:20:20,630
And there's anything you can eat, I can

588
00:20:20,630 --> 00:20:21,970
eat vegan is what I like to say.

589
00:20:22,370 --> 00:20:26,850
So you can definitely eat everything you grew

590
00:20:26,850 --> 00:20:27,290
up with.

591
00:20:27,390 --> 00:20:29,090
You just have to find the right substitute.

592
00:20:29,330 --> 00:20:30,830
And every time I like, I'm the only

593
00:20:30,830 --> 00:20:31,850
one in my family that's vegan.

594
00:20:32,470 --> 00:20:34,270
Thankfully, my family is very open.

595
00:20:34,390 --> 00:20:35,690
They just like food in general.

596
00:20:35,850 --> 00:20:38,510
So when I make them like, my Salvadorian

597
00:20:38,510 --> 00:20:40,730
breakfast, which is typically like scrambled eggs with

598
00:20:40,730 --> 00:20:42,030
tortilla and crema and beans.

599
00:20:42,190 --> 00:20:44,450
Like I've made my tofu scramble, my cashew

600
00:20:44,450 --> 00:20:44,830
crema.

601
00:20:44,830 --> 00:20:46,530
And then I say, they serve everything the

602
00:20:46,530 --> 00:20:46,690
same.

603
00:20:46,870 --> 00:20:48,110
Beans, plantains, avocado.

604
00:20:48,430 --> 00:20:49,810
I just gave this to my mom this

605
00:20:49,810 --> 00:20:50,090
morning.

606
00:20:50,110 --> 00:20:51,350
She's like, this is delicious.

607
00:20:51,710 --> 00:20:53,450
Like my parents love it every time I

608
00:20:53,450 --> 00:20:53,930
give it to them.

609
00:20:53,990 --> 00:20:54,810
My aunts love it.

610
00:20:54,850 --> 00:20:55,770
My cousins love it.

611
00:20:56,130 --> 00:20:58,350
So it's like, but because they're just not

612
00:20:58,350 --> 00:21:00,650
familiar with making it themselves, they're kind of

613
00:21:00,650 --> 00:21:01,830
like, wait, how do I do this?

614
00:21:02,270 --> 00:21:03,450
So it does require effort.

615
00:21:03,810 --> 00:21:05,210
But the first step is to just make

616
00:21:05,210 --> 00:21:06,750
the decision that you want to try it,

617
00:21:06,830 --> 00:21:07,070
right?

618
00:21:07,190 --> 00:21:09,470
And so, but I'm here to tell everyone

619
00:21:09,470 --> 00:21:11,850
that, yeah, it's 100% possible to keep

620
00:21:11,850 --> 00:21:13,750
eating your favourite foods, but you can have

621
00:21:13,750 --> 00:21:14,650
them vegan as well.

622
00:21:15,150 --> 00:21:17,830
I like your phrase, everything you can eat,

623
00:21:17,930 --> 00:21:18,910
I can eat vegan.

624
00:21:19,130 --> 00:21:20,410
I think we got to do some kind

625
00:21:20,410 --> 00:21:22,390
of a rap song with that or something.

626
00:21:23,050 --> 00:21:24,990
You have so many great videos.

627
00:21:25,130 --> 00:21:26,470
Again, they're streaming on Unchained TV.

628
00:21:26,630 --> 00:21:29,210
This one really blew me away because it

629
00:21:29,210 --> 00:21:32,590
sounds like you've been researching South Korean food

630
00:21:32,590 --> 00:21:33,770
for a long time.

631
00:21:34,150 --> 00:21:34,730
Let's watch.

632
00:21:34,810 --> 00:21:35,950
We'll talk on the other side.

633
00:21:40,430 --> 00:21:42,830
Seoul mixes the cutting edge with deep tradition.

634
00:21:42,830 --> 00:21:44,630
And now they have a vegan scene to

635
00:21:44,630 --> 00:21:45,070
show off.

636
00:21:45,310 --> 00:21:46,670
I'm Eunice, and I'm going to show you

637
00:21:46,670 --> 00:21:48,790
five must-try vegan spots in Seoul and

638
00:21:48,790 --> 00:21:49,710
sights you need to see.

639
00:21:49,970 --> 00:21:50,590
Let's go.

640
00:21:57,530 --> 00:21:59,410
For our first meal, I had to check

641
00:21:59,410 --> 00:22:01,350
out this all-vegan Korean restaurant.

642
00:22:02,770 --> 00:22:05,250
I'm at Vegan Kitchen here in Seoul, very

643
00:22:05,250 --> 00:22:06,290
close to Seoul Station.

644
00:22:06,590 --> 00:22:08,190
I love that it's very hard to miss.

645
00:22:08,270 --> 00:22:09,630
You walk down the street, that's on the

646
00:22:09,630 --> 00:22:10,570
big green sign.

647
00:22:10,650 --> 00:22:11,370
This is Vegan Kitchen.

648
00:22:11,370 --> 00:22:14,450
I couldn't resist because I really wanted to

649
00:22:14,450 --> 00:22:14,990
get japchae.

650
00:22:15,090 --> 00:22:16,730
If you're not familiar with japchae, japchae are

651
00:22:16,730 --> 00:22:17,690
glass noodles here.

652
00:22:17,790 --> 00:22:18,650
It's a very traditional dish.

653
00:22:18,670 --> 00:22:19,450
It's just vegetables.

654
00:22:19,790 --> 00:22:21,630
A lot of times, they do make it

655
00:22:21,630 --> 00:22:23,250
everywhere else with vegetables, but they add meat.

656
00:22:23,430 --> 00:22:25,370
Here, it's all vegan, obviously.

657
00:22:26,230 --> 00:22:27,350
I also got tteokbokki.

658
00:22:27,690 --> 00:22:30,530
Tteokbokki is these Korean rice cakes.

659
00:22:30,690 --> 00:22:32,090
They're fried rice cakes, and they come in

660
00:22:32,090 --> 00:22:32,990
a sauce and everything.

661
00:22:33,210 --> 00:22:35,450
It's the chewy texture that gets me every

662
00:22:35,450 --> 00:22:35,670
time.

663
00:22:35,730 --> 00:22:36,430
It's delicious.

664
00:22:36,630 --> 00:22:37,210
I love it.

665
00:22:37,850 --> 00:22:40,110
Then, I couldn't resist because I had to

666
00:22:40,110 --> 00:22:41,830
get what I like to call the original

667
00:22:41,830 --> 00:22:44,330
KFC Korean fried chicken, but vegan.

668
00:22:44,770 --> 00:22:46,170
Here, you can get a bunch of different

669
00:22:46,170 --> 00:22:46,550
flavours.

670
00:22:47,050 --> 00:22:48,950
I got the garlic fried one.

671
00:22:49,310 --> 00:22:50,350
You have spicy and everything.

672
00:22:50,530 --> 00:22:51,730
The cool thing is, you can order from

673
00:22:51,730 --> 00:22:53,790
a screen, and the little robot brings all

674
00:22:53,790 --> 00:22:56,070
the food, and they got you your banchan.

675
00:22:56,190 --> 00:22:57,170
Your banchan comes first.

676
00:22:58,350 --> 00:22:59,570
All those phrases.

677
00:22:59,830 --> 00:23:04,430
How did you familiarise yourself with all that

678
00:23:04,430 --> 00:23:07,470
South Korean food and the dishes and the

679
00:23:07,470 --> 00:23:08,870
names and the pronunciations?

680
00:23:10,070 --> 00:23:12,590
Like I mentioned before, I'm a total food

681
00:23:12,590 --> 00:23:12,830
nerd.

682
00:23:13,270 --> 00:23:15,030
I've actually liked Korean food for a very

683
00:23:15,030 --> 00:23:17,330
long time now, even before I went.

684
00:23:19,170 --> 00:23:21,710
I really got into K-dramas.

685
00:23:22,790 --> 00:23:23,630
What's that?

686
00:23:24,190 --> 00:23:25,110
Korean dramas.

687
00:23:25,510 --> 00:23:26,210
Oh, my gosh.

688
00:23:26,250 --> 00:23:27,950
If you have not watched any Korean dramas

689
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:29,470
on Netflix, they're so good.

690
00:23:29,670 --> 00:23:31,130
They're just more wholesome.

691
00:23:31,570 --> 00:23:35,810
They're very wholesome, but they're suspenseful.

692
00:23:36,130 --> 00:23:36,850
They make you laugh.

693
00:23:36,890 --> 00:23:37,550
They make you cry.

694
00:23:37,550 --> 00:23:38,510
They're really romantic.

695
00:23:38,510 --> 00:23:39,230
It's really fun.

696
00:23:39,450 --> 00:23:41,210
Just brace yourself because each one is like

697
00:23:41,210 --> 00:23:43,730
an hour and a half long of episodes.

698
00:23:45,310 --> 00:23:47,930
Before I even went to Seoul, I just

699
00:23:47,930 --> 00:23:49,910
love trying foods that are different, something that

700
00:23:49,910 --> 00:23:51,530
I grew up with, and I just like

701
00:23:51,530 --> 00:23:53,030
educating myself about them.

702
00:23:55,310 --> 00:23:57,430
In Long Beach, for those of you who

703
00:23:57,430 --> 00:23:59,290
don't know, Long Beach has an amazing Korean

704
00:23:59,290 --> 00:24:00,230
restaurant called Sura.

705
00:24:02,090 --> 00:24:05,050
They offer a whole vegan menu, a huge

706
00:24:05,050 --> 00:24:06,710
vegan menu, even though the restaurant itself is

707
00:24:06,710 --> 00:24:07,630
not fully vegan.

708
00:24:08,150 --> 00:24:10,510
Everything that they have non-vegan, they make

709
00:24:10,510 --> 00:24:12,070
a vegan option for, so you can also

710
00:24:12,070 --> 00:24:15,290
get the hot tofu soup.

711
00:24:15,710 --> 00:24:19,510
You can also get the japchae, which is

712
00:24:19,510 --> 00:24:20,310
those glass noodles.

713
00:24:21,370 --> 00:24:23,210
Dduk-go-chi is the rice cakes on

714
00:24:23,210 --> 00:24:23,730
a skewer.

715
00:24:24,190 --> 00:24:26,290
The Korean fried chicken, they make it there

716
00:24:26,290 --> 00:24:28,810
too, so you definitely should try it out.

717
00:24:32,290 --> 00:24:35,030
The research side of me, the food travel

718
00:24:35,030 --> 00:24:37,170
nerd of me, I will watch stuff about

719
00:24:37,170 --> 00:24:39,250
Korean food, even if it's not vegan, just

720
00:24:39,250 --> 00:24:41,850
to educate myself, because I like to learn

721
00:24:41,850 --> 00:24:42,470
what people eat.

722
00:24:45,390 --> 00:24:47,730
The K-dramas, they do that as well.

723
00:24:48,090 --> 00:24:50,170
Somebody told me they also like to promote

724
00:24:50,170 --> 00:24:52,050
their cuisine in the shows.

725
00:24:53,550 --> 00:24:55,410
Naturally, you kind of start watching these shows,

726
00:24:55,470 --> 00:24:56,250
and you're like, that looks kind of good.

727
00:24:56,390 --> 00:24:57,630
I wonder if there's a vegan version of

728
00:24:57,630 --> 00:24:57,790
that.

729
00:25:00,470 --> 00:25:03,710
I definitely learned that way too about some

730
00:25:03,710 --> 00:25:04,290
of these dishes.

731
00:25:04,290 --> 00:25:07,310
All right, we've got Kim in Culver City.

732
00:25:07,430 --> 00:25:09,750
Your question or thought for Eunice Reyes, star

733
00:25:09,750 --> 00:25:12,510
of Rated V for Vegan on Unchained TV.

734
00:25:14,030 --> 00:25:15,270
Hey, thank you.

735
00:25:15,430 --> 00:25:17,370
I was wondering, in your travels, how do

736
00:25:17,370 --> 00:25:19,030
you know which restaurants to go?

737
00:25:19,210 --> 00:25:20,450
Do you use Happy Cow?

738
00:25:20,830 --> 00:25:22,310
And then also, do you ever have a

739
00:25:22,310 --> 00:25:23,670
language barrier issue?

740
00:25:24,550 --> 00:25:25,830
Oh, that's a good question.

741
00:25:26,270 --> 00:25:28,330
I just want to start by putting up

742
00:25:28,330 --> 00:25:32,970
your five tips, because one of the top

743
00:25:32,970 --> 00:25:37,190
tips, which I totally agree with, is download

744
00:25:37,190 --> 00:25:39,790
the Happy Cap app, Happy Cow app.

745
00:25:39,910 --> 00:25:42,530
I have gone from all across the world,

746
00:25:42,630 --> 00:25:45,210
from Berlin to Texas to the Caribbean.

747
00:25:45,990 --> 00:25:48,690
The Happy Cow app on my phone has

748
00:25:48,690 --> 00:25:50,430
literally directed me.

749
00:25:50,570 --> 00:25:53,690
That's number three on your top five vegan

750
00:25:53,690 --> 00:25:54,450
travel tips.

751
00:25:54,530 --> 00:25:57,130
So let's talk about the language barrier issue,

752
00:25:57,170 --> 00:25:58,470
and then we're going to dive into your

753
00:25:58,470 --> 00:25:59,450
top tips.

754
00:26:00,670 --> 00:26:03,490
Okay, so first on, do your research also.

755
00:26:03,710 --> 00:26:05,790
I do occasionally use Happy Cow, but surprisingly,

756
00:26:05,970 --> 00:26:07,550
I actually use Instagram a lot more.

757
00:26:08,090 --> 00:26:10,390
I'm a visual person, so I like to

758
00:26:10,390 --> 00:26:11,710
see foods that look really good.

759
00:26:11,830 --> 00:26:13,630
So I'll go on Instagram and type in

760
00:26:13,630 --> 00:26:17,190
hashtags like vegan soul, you know, vegan Madrid.

761
00:26:17,710 --> 00:26:19,330
And the reason I like doing that is

762
00:26:19,330 --> 00:26:22,570
because not only do tourists, like people on

763
00:26:22,570 --> 00:26:25,010
their travels, hashtag it, but so do locals

764
00:26:25,010 --> 00:26:28,190
and local restaurants, because they know oftentimes people

765
00:26:28,190 --> 00:26:29,630
travelling are looking for it too.

766
00:26:30,070 --> 00:26:31,590
So you get the people who are travelling

767
00:26:31,590 --> 00:26:33,310
and also the locals posting about their businesses

768
00:26:33,310 --> 00:26:33,850
constantly.

769
00:26:34,030 --> 00:26:35,310
So that's how I tend to find a

770
00:26:35,310 --> 00:26:36,070
lot of my stuff.

771
00:26:36,190 --> 00:26:36,910
Say it again.

772
00:26:37,050 --> 00:26:37,770
Say it again.

773
00:26:38,010 --> 00:26:41,690
For those who are maybe not as proficient,

774
00:26:42,050 --> 00:26:43,030
where are you going?

775
00:26:43,190 --> 00:26:44,210
What are you putting in?

776
00:26:44,350 --> 00:26:45,090
How are you doing it?

777
00:26:45,690 --> 00:26:48,030
So if you upload, if you log into

778
00:26:48,030 --> 00:26:49,770
Instagram, there's a search bar.

779
00:26:50,070 --> 00:26:51,530
And in the search bar, I would put

780
00:26:51,530 --> 00:26:54,610
hashtag vegan like Madrid, right?

781
00:26:54,990 --> 00:26:56,750
Vegan Mexico City or something.

782
00:26:57,950 --> 00:27:00,570
And then it'll pull up a whole like,

783
00:27:00,650 --> 00:27:02,450
you know, you just start seeing all these

784
00:27:02,450 --> 00:27:05,430
beautiful photos of food or just anything, right?

785
00:27:05,450 --> 00:27:07,230
So I'll usually scroll and see what food

786
00:27:07,230 --> 00:27:09,010
captivates me or looks similar to what I'm

787
00:27:09,010 --> 00:27:09,610
looking for.

788
00:27:10,390 --> 00:27:12,730
And I'll start researching, oh, what's the name

789
00:27:12,730 --> 00:27:13,430
of this restaurant?

790
00:27:13,710 --> 00:27:15,810
And then I make my own Google Maps.

791
00:27:16,130 --> 00:27:17,770
So I have a Google Map for every

792
00:27:17,770 --> 00:27:18,670
country I've been to.

793
00:27:18,970 --> 00:27:20,830
I'm actually thinking about maybe selling these.

794
00:27:21,750 --> 00:27:24,010
Because it's fun that every single one that

795
00:27:24,010 --> 00:27:25,690
I've been to and I've vetted it myself

796
00:27:25,690 --> 00:27:27,130
kind of thing or places that I wish

797
00:27:27,130 --> 00:27:28,090
I wanted to go to, I just didn't

798
00:27:28,090 --> 00:27:28,590
have the time.

799
00:27:30,490 --> 00:27:32,970
So I just organise my travels that way

800
00:27:32,970 --> 00:27:34,090
to be like, okay, I want to go

801
00:27:34,090 --> 00:27:35,330
try this food, this food, this food.

802
00:27:35,390 --> 00:27:36,450
And in between, I'm going to do my

803
00:27:36,450 --> 00:27:37,450
tourist attractions, right?

804
00:27:37,850 --> 00:27:40,690
In terms of the language barrier, it's helpful

805
00:27:40,690 --> 00:27:41,810
that I speak Spanish too.

806
00:27:41,950 --> 00:27:44,030
So depending on which part of the world

807
00:27:44,030 --> 00:27:46,090
I'm at, I can speak two languages.

808
00:27:46,250 --> 00:27:46,830
So that's helpful.

809
00:27:47,050 --> 00:27:48,510
So in Spain, it was very easy for

810
00:27:48,510 --> 00:27:48,690
me.

811
00:27:49,410 --> 00:27:51,930
But in places like Korea and like Tokyo

812
00:27:51,930 --> 00:27:53,970
where people are very friendly, but the English

813
00:27:53,970 --> 00:27:55,330
is maybe not as prominent.

814
00:27:56,110 --> 00:27:57,150
There are a lot of people that speak

815
00:27:57,150 --> 00:27:59,350
English, but it's not as common in, let's

816
00:27:59,350 --> 00:28:00,390
say, Singapore, for example.

817
00:28:01,770 --> 00:28:05,030
I use the Google Translate app a lot

818
00:28:05,030 --> 00:28:07,930
and bless Google Translate app now because now

819
00:28:07,930 --> 00:28:09,810
you have the photo function where you can

820
00:28:09,810 --> 00:28:13,230
literally point at ingredients like on something and

821
00:28:13,230 --> 00:28:14,730
it'll translate it for you automatically.

822
00:28:15,230 --> 00:28:16,290
So that was really nice.

823
00:28:16,910 --> 00:28:18,310
You know, sometimes we would have to type

824
00:28:18,310 --> 00:28:19,130
in what we needed.

825
00:28:19,730 --> 00:28:21,070
But for the most part, if you're in

826
00:28:21,070 --> 00:28:22,610
a tourist area, a lot of the times

827
00:28:22,610 --> 00:28:25,230
they do speak English and they will know

828
00:28:25,230 --> 00:28:26,810
if you're like maybe a Western, you know,

829
00:28:27,190 --> 00:28:28,650
depending where you are, you will stand out.

830
00:28:30,630 --> 00:28:32,830
And so, but yeah, I definitely use the

831
00:28:32,830 --> 00:28:35,370
Google, but also Happy Cow has these amazing

832
00:28:35,370 --> 00:28:38,350
PDFs that you can now print out that

833
00:28:38,350 --> 00:28:40,270
kind of, they're like little flashcards that you

834
00:28:40,270 --> 00:28:41,790
can print out and cut out for yourself

835
00:28:41,790 --> 00:28:44,170
that say like, I'm vegan or does this

836
00:28:44,170 --> 00:28:45,310
have eggs or whatever?

837
00:28:45,450 --> 00:28:47,190
I don't eat eggs, cheese, dairy, you know,

838
00:28:47,210 --> 00:28:48,070
all this stuff, right?

839
00:28:48,710 --> 00:28:50,750
And you can hand that to the cook

840
00:28:50,750 --> 00:28:51,250
or something.

841
00:28:51,350 --> 00:28:52,350
And I thought that's really cool.

842
00:28:53,350 --> 00:28:54,870
That's a great idea.

843
00:28:54,870 --> 00:28:57,470
I remember when I went to Paris, I

844
00:28:57,470 --> 00:29:01,790
tried to memorise, je suis vegan, je ne

845
00:29:01,790 --> 00:29:08,340
mange pas viande.

846
00:29:09,100 --> 00:29:10,060
Viande, yeah.

847
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,820
Well, basically I ate French fries because of

848
00:29:16,820 --> 00:29:18,960
my inability to communicate.

849
00:29:19,540 --> 00:29:20,940
And you know, in France, they really want

850
00:29:20,940 --> 00:29:21,980
you to try to speak French.

851
00:29:22,260 --> 00:29:23,820
But these are all great tips.

852
00:29:23,940 --> 00:29:27,980
Would you consider possibly doing a video recapping

853
00:29:27,980 --> 00:29:30,560
all of these great, or maybe you don't

854
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,300
want to give them away too much because

855
00:29:33,300 --> 00:29:35,600
all the things you said were really good,

856
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,000
but I'm thinking, wait, the Google Maps, the

857
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,840
this, I'm trying to process all that.

858
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,700
You could also write a book, but I

859
00:29:43,700 --> 00:29:46,160
think that a video showing some of your

860
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,200
techniques would be very interesting to people.

861
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:49,240
Yes.

862
00:29:49,300 --> 00:29:50,420
And you just reminded me, I actually have

863
00:29:50,420 --> 00:29:51,340
two eBooks right now.

864
00:29:51,420 --> 00:29:53,420
I'm in the process of converting a lot

865
00:29:53,420 --> 00:29:54,420
of my videos into eBooks.

866
00:29:54,420 --> 00:29:55,740
So I have two though on my website

867
00:29:55,740 --> 00:29:56,220
right now.

868
00:29:56,380 --> 00:29:58,980
I have this ultimate travel guide to Spain.

869
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:00,860
There's 13 cities there and a lot of

870
00:30:00,860 --> 00:30:02,800
the restaurants that I went to with links

871
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,500
to my videos and everything as well.

872
00:30:04,820 --> 00:30:07,320
So that's on my website for purchases and

873
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:07,920
it has maps.

874
00:30:08,060 --> 00:30:09,220
It's integrated with the maps as well.

875
00:30:09,260 --> 00:30:10,440
And then I have my vegan guide to

876
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:10,840
El Salvador.

877
00:30:12,180 --> 00:30:14,040
So my goal is to, because there's so

878
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,460
many things I need to be on top

879
00:30:15,460 --> 00:30:17,460
of right now, that's a project that's in

880
00:30:17,460 --> 00:30:18,380
the works, but yeah.

881
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:19,560
Wow.

882
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,380
I just have, first of all, I'm really,

883
00:30:23,380 --> 00:30:27,420
I'm really impressed with how you handle all

884
00:30:27,420 --> 00:30:27,720
this.

885
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,020
Very, very methodical.

886
00:30:34,140 --> 00:30:36,860
I've travelled quite a bit and I've never

887
00:30:36,860 --> 00:30:38,060
done this kind of research.

888
00:30:38,300 --> 00:30:40,820
I've pretty much relied on the Happy Cow

889
00:30:40,820 --> 00:30:42,460
app, but I will tell you I was

890
00:30:42,460 --> 00:30:46,460
in Taiwan and I was in Taipei for

891
00:30:46,460 --> 00:30:48,700
one day and I had a heck of

892
00:30:48,700 --> 00:30:49,200
a time.

893
00:30:49,380 --> 00:30:52,380
I struggled mightily to find a vegan restaurant.

894
00:30:52,380 --> 00:30:56,300
I was trying to master the language, the

895
00:30:56,300 --> 00:30:57,320
directions.

896
00:30:58,340 --> 00:31:00,440
It was really frustrating.

897
00:31:00,940 --> 00:31:03,100
And then I saw your video where you

898
00:31:03,100 --> 00:31:06,540
were in Taipei, Taiwan, hitting all these incredible

899
00:31:07,020 --> 00:31:10,380
vegan restaurants and I was like, wow, I

900
00:31:10,380 --> 00:31:16,020
wish I had had, whatever tools you use

901
00:31:16,020 --> 00:31:17,880
to find all those great vegan restaurants.

902
00:31:18,260 --> 00:31:20,740
I was in the exact same city and

903
00:31:20,740 --> 00:31:22,800
I didn't have that experience.

904
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:24,700
So what's the difference?

905
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,480
How did you manage to find all those

906
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,220
great vegan restaurants, including, I think, did you

907
00:31:31,220 --> 00:31:34,040
say there was a five-star Michelin somewhere?

908
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,420
It's not a five star, it's a Michelin

909
00:31:38,420 --> 00:31:39,020
star restaurant.

910
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:41,980
It's the first Michelin star restaurant.

911
00:31:42,100 --> 00:31:42,920
It's all plant-based.

912
00:31:43,020 --> 00:31:44,280
So it's not all vegan, but it's mostly

913
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:45,800
vegan because as you know, in a lot

914
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,720
of Asian countries they don't consume dairy very

915
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:47,980
often.

916
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,280
Well, it's not in the food as much.

917
00:31:52,260 --> 00:31:56,400
But because of the religious influence as well,

918
00:31:56,580 --> 00:31:59,240
there's a lot of vegan food in Taiwan.

919
00:31:59,340 --> 00:32:00,600
That's why you said you struggle to find

920
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:00,940
vegan food.

921
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:01,460
I was like, what?

922
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,020
I was like, it's everywhere.

923
00:32:05,100 --> 00:32:07,060
But it had to do with the Buddhist

924
00:32:07,060 --> 00:32:07,540
culture.

925
00:32:07,940 --> 00:32:09,740
And so I think that's really cool.

926
00:32:11,100 --> 00:32:13,180
But yes, that Michelin guy, that one I

927
00:32:13,180 --> 00:32:14,040
actually found on Instagram.

928
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,280
It didn't really come up on Google and

929
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:17,940
sometimes Google doesn't do you a service.

930
00:32:18,300 --> 00:32:20,400
Google will only pull up like maybe sometimes

931
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:21,320
popular restaurants.

932
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:22,520
They're not going to pull up everything.

933
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,200
And sometimes it's like Western restaurants, which drive

934
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:25,760
me nuts.

935
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,020
That's my biggest pet peeve.

936
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,100
When I see vloggers going like, I am

937
00:32:29,100 --> 00:32:31,280
in, you know, Seoul, South Korea, and I

938
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:32,980
found this amazing vegan burger place.

939
00:32:32,980 --> 00:32:34,680
I'm like, you're in Seoul.

940
00:32:34,780 --> 00:32:36,200
Don't you want Korean food?

941
00:32:36,820 --> 00:32:39,800
And so I always make sure to not

942
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,720
eat, you know, food that I'm familiar with

943
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:43,920
when I go and travel.

944
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,000
Or at least like familiar in the sense

945
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,540
that's like super Westernised.

946
00:32:47,660 --> 00:32:48,900
Sure, every once in a while it's fine

947
00:32:48,900 --> 00:32:51,180
because you want, you know, whatever.

948
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:52,240
You want to change it up.

949
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,420
But Serenity Veg, I found it through Instagram.

950
00:32:56,700 --> 00:32:57,180
Hashtags.

951
00:32:57,580 --> 00:32:58,780
I just put Taipei Vegan.

952
00:32:59,700 --> 00:33:00,320
All right.

953
00:33:00,380 --> 00:33:02,600
I want to go through your top five

954
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:03,040
tips.

955
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:04,880
So let's just go over them.

956
00:33:05,100 --> 00:33:06,180
You sent them to me.

957
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:07,500
Do your research.

958
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:08,920
We've covered some of that.

959
00:33:10,100 --> 00:33:13,500
What is that country's most iconic dish?

960
00:33:13,940 --> 00:33:15,720
Now, why is that important?

961
00:33:16,260 --> 00:33:18,560
And how does that lead you to a

962
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,300
great iconic vegan dish?

963
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:22,460
So this is a good one.

964
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,320
So this is, I'll give you an example.

965
00:33:24,500 --> 00:33:26,520
So when I was first visiting Portugal, the

966
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,520
first city I ever visited was Porto.

967
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,220
And I had no idea what Portuguese people

968
00:33:33,220 --> 00:33:33,500
eat.

969
00:33:33,580 --> 00:33:35,180
Like I just, I'm not super, I did

970
00:33:35,180 --> 00:33:36,360
know about pastéis de nata.

971
00:33:36,500 --> 00:33:37,580
So that one I knew, right?

972
00:33:37,620 --> 00:33:40,120
Which is the custard egg tarts, right?

973
00:33:40,820 --> 00:33:42,420
So I was like determined to find that

974
00:33:42,420 --> 00:33:42,620
vegan.

975
00:33:42,700 --> 00:33:44,280
So at least I knew pastéis de nata

976
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,040
vegan, you know, Porto.

977
00:33:47,340 --> 00:33:49,400
There's also when I, but then I was

978
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,160
like, okay, there's gotta be some iconic dish.

979
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:51,840
I wonder if there is.

980
00:33:51,900 --> 00:33:54,180
So I remember putting, what's the like iconic

981
00:33:54,180 --> 00:33:55,420
dishes to eat in Porto, Portugal.

982
00:33:55,660 --> 00:33:58,240
And then there's something called, oh my, it's

983
00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,000
escaping me.

984
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:01,020
Oh my God, this is gonna drive me

985
00:34:01,020 --> 00:34:01,280
insane.

986
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:02,160
Hold, hold please.

987
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:03,440
I need to, I need to find this.

988
00:34:03,940 --> 00:34:05,140
I'm Googling it right now.

989
00:34:05,420 --> 00:34:07,159
All right, while you're Googling it, what I'm

990
00:34:07,159 --> 00:34:11,100
gonna do is show the second list and

991
00:34:11,100 --> 00:34:12,520
we're gonna go through all of these.

992
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,639
Travel with a vegan tourism group.

993
00:34:14,639 --> 00:34:16,159
We've got to get to that.

994
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,100
And it appears that Eunice is creating her

995
00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:20,380
own vegan tourism group as we speak.

996
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,600
So we'll get back to that.

997
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,440
But you were saying about the iconic dish.

998
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,400
Yes, so Francesina, sorry, it escaped me.

999
00:34:30,580 --> 00:34:35,000
But the Francesina is traditionally this like, it's

1000
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,620
this Portuguese dish, right?

1001
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,719
It's specific to Porto.

1002
00:34:39,100 --> 00:34:42,199
And it's usually, it's like a sandwich stuffed

1003
00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:45,540
with meat, with melted cheese, and there's this

1004
00:34:45,540 --> 00:34:46,739
sauce on top, right?

1005
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:48,739
Nothing vegan about it.

1006
00:34:49,060 --> 00:34:51,620
But I was like, I wonder if anyone's

1007
00:34:51,620 --> 00:34:54,040
doing this vegan because if they are, I

1008
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,340
need to try it.

1009
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,600
And I Googled it and there he was,

1010
00:34:59,380 --> 00:35:00,920
Casanova in Porto.

1011
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,420
It was, I read it, I had to

1012
00:35:03,420 --> 00:35:04,760
like look in Google search.

1013
00:35:04,860 --> 00:35:06,860
I found this like random blog, okay?

1014
00:35:06,900 --> 00:35:08,120
It wasn't even the top hit.

1015
00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:09,400
I had to kind of scroll down.

1016
00:35:09,720 --> 00:35:11,620
I found this blog that talked about the

1017
00:35:11,620 --> 00:35:13,860
best Francesina, vegan Francesina in Porto.

1018
00:35:14,180 --> 00:35:16,140
And it's at this restaurant, Casanova.

1019
00:35:16,180 --> 00:35:17,500
And you can see that it's on my

1020
00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:18,260
YouTube channel, actually.

1021
00:35:19,780 --> 00:35:21,480
And it was delicious.

1022
00:35:21,780 --> 00:35:23,500
But it was amazing because I got to

1023
00:35:23,500 --> 00:35:24,920
talk to the chef.

1024
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:26,460
He used to be a chef at a

1025
00:35:26,460 --> 00:35:27,080
non-vegan restaurant.

1026
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:28,220
He was not vegan for years.

1027
00:35:28,240 --> 00:35:29,400
And then one day he was like, I

1028
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,320
want to go vegan and I'm going to

1029
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:32,200
make this better.

1030
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,700
And he said, I think he said he

1031
00:35:34,700 --> 00:35:36,920
even liked his vegan version better than the

1032
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,000
original one, right?

1033
00:35:38,540 --> 00:35:39,800
And so it was just nice because I

1034
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,200
felt like I was, you know, immersing myself

1035
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,560
in the food and the culture, but still

1036
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,800
maintaining my veganism, which was awesome, right?

1037
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,920
And so they also had this amazing dessert

1038
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:49,140
there.

1039
00:35:49,180 --> 00:35:50,320
So I highly suggest going there.

1040
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:51,840
But that's why I was like, I like

1041
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,680
to learn about the dishes that are iconic

1042
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,040
to each country and city so I can

1043
00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,460
just like participate as a vegan.

1044
00:36:00,180 --> 00:36:04,260
We've got another caller, Sarah, in Venice, California.

1045
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,720
Your question or thought for Eunice Ray is

1046
00:36:06,720 --> 00:36:09,060
of Rated V for Vegan World Travel.

1047
00:36:09,060 --> 00:36:14,220
Hi, my question is when you travel and

1048
00:36:14,220 --> 00:36:16,820
you go to places, do you specifically look

1049
00:36:16,820 --> 00:36:19,380
for vegan restaurants or do you go to

1050
00:36:19,380 --> 00:36:22,720
places that are not vegan and ask them

1051
00:36:22,720 --> 00:36:24,900
to have a vegan menu or do you

1052
00:36:24,900 --> 00:36:27,960
do activism as well as the travel blogging?

1053
00:36:28,060 --> 00:36:28,620
Thank you.

1054
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:31,160
I do a little bit of both.

1055
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,800
So obviously I'll look to see like what

1056
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:34,960
the vegan restaurants are.

1057
00:36:35,740 --> 00:36:38,220
But again, because I'm determined to find like

1058
00:36:38,220 --> 00:36:42,640
the iconic vegan dish, sometimes you can find

1059
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,540
those in non-vegan restaurants that offer it,

1060
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:45,660
right?

1061
00:36:45,700 --> 00:36:47,180
But for the most part, all the restaurants

1062
00:36:47,180 --> 00:36:48,020
I go to are vegan.

1063
00:36:48,340 --> 00:36:50,480
Like there's a lot of great vegan restaurants,

1064
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:50,820
right?

1065
00:36:51,100 --> 00:36:53,740
And they serve a plethora of everything.

1066
00:36:54,020 --> 00:36:57,120
But for example, in El Salvador, in El

1067
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,320
Salvador, vegan food is, it's there, it's present.

1068
00:37:00,740 --> 00:37:02,860
It's not huge like LA, but it's starting,

1069
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:03,440
right?

1070
00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:07,160
And I had to guess a level up

1071
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,100
because I'm very familiar with what Salvadorian food

1072
00:37:09,100 --> 00:37:12,920
is, but there was no vegan restaurant there

1073
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,640
that offered vegan pupusas.

1074
00:37:15,240 --> 00:37:16,760
And I was not about to go to

1075
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,420
El Salvador and not have pupusas.

1076
00:37:18,540 --> 00:37:18,940
I'm sorry.

1077
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:20,760
Like that's non-negotiable, right?

1078
00:37:20,860 --> 00:37:22,760
Like that's what people eat breakfast, lunch, and

1079
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:23,720
dinner everywhere.

1080
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:24,500
You will see them everywhere.

1081
00:37:24,900 --> 00:37:29,240
A traditional Salvadorian pupusa option that's vegan is

1082
00:37:29,240 --> 00:37:29,900
beans.

1083
00:37:30,180 --> 00:37:31,700
They don't put lard in their beans.

1084
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:33,680
I asked literally everybody.

1085
00:37:34,180 --> 00:37:35,900
Everybody said, no, we do not use lard.

1086
00:37:36,020 --> 00:37:37,140
They use oil, right?

1087
00:37:37,140 --> 00:37:37,680
Beans.

1088
00:37:37,780 --> 00:37:39,800
The beans in El Salvador are delicious.

1089
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:40,560
They're the best.

1090
00:37:40,620 --> 00:37:42,340
They're these red beans that are specifically grown

1091
00:37:42,340 --> 00:37:43,740
there and they have this amazing flavour.

1092
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:45,960
So one of the traditions that's been around

1093
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,300
forever, you'll see it on every menu in

1094
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:50,140
El Salvador, non-vegan, right?

1095
00:37:50,240 --> 00:37:54,840
Every pupusaria, bean pupusas, and they will make

1096
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:55,140
it for you.

1097
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:56,280
And that's an example of where I was

1098
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,620
like, yeah, I'll go to a non-vegan

1099
00:37:57,620 --> 00:37:59,400
place and ask for the vegan option because

1100
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:00,980
I'm like, this is something that I just

1101
00:38:00,980 --> 00:38:03,040
have to eat because this is just what

1102
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,100
you need to eat when you're in visiting

1103
00:38:05,100 --> 00:38:05,700
the country, right?

1104
00:38:05,700 --> 00:38:07,520
So that was, I think El Salvador was

1105
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,340
one of the places I ate a lot

1106
00:38:09,340 --> 00:38:11,600
of vegan food at non-vegan restaurants, if

1107
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:12,120
that makes sense.

1108
00:38:13,340 --> 00:38:13,780
Absolutely.

1109
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,140
So getting back to this list, because we're

1110
00:38:17,140 --> 00:38:18,560
going to get through this list and then

1111
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:19,920
I have a few other questions.

1112
00:38:21,140 --> 00:38:24,520
We've covered number four, travel with a vegan

1113
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:25,200
tourism group.

1114
00:38:25,300 --> 00:38:27,300
Can you mention some of the other ones

1115
00:38:27,300 --> 00:38:30,520
and also recap again, if people want to

1116
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,260
travel with you, you're going to Vietnam in

1117
00:38:33,260 --> 00:38:33,820
November.

1118
00:38:34,780 --> 00:38:36,880
How do we get in touch with you?

1119
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,400
How do we make that happen?

1120
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,880
And maybe you can give us an idea

1121
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,040
of the cost of that.

1122
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:43,520
Yes.

1123
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,760
So for Vietnam in November, that is happening

1124
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,320
November 7th through the 13th.

1125
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:49,760
It's a seven day itinerary.

1126
00:38:51,720 --> 00:38:54,340
And it's going to be in Hanoi and

1127
00:38:54,340 --> 00:38:55,440
Ninh Binh and Ha Long Bay.

1128
00:38:55,540 --> 00:38:56,380
So three different cities.

1129
00:38:56,380 --> 00:38:58,220
There's going to be like boat cave tours.

1130
00:38:58,540 --> 00:39:00,500
You get to eat on a farm with

1131
00:39:00,500 --> 00:39:01,140
a local family.

1132
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,640
They're going to cook you vegan food.

1133
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,080
We're going to stay at four star hotels.

1134
00:39:05,540 --> 00:39:07,520
There's just going to be a cooking class.

1135
00:39:07,580 --> 00:39:08,580
There's going to be a lot of activities.

1136
00:39:08,860 --> 00:39:09,220
It's jam packed.

1137
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:11,420
So I'm really excited.

1138
00:39:12,020 --> 00:39:15,220
And the cost is 18.99. And in

1139
00:39:15,220 --> 00:39:17,440
order to, and that includes everything except the

1140
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:18,480
flight obviously, right?

1141
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,600
And like almost all the meals are included

1142
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,060
except for like one or two, because that

1143
00:39:24,060 --> 00:39:25,820
way it gives you free time to just

1144
00:39:25,820 --> 00:39:27,080
like kind of maybe do your own thing,

1145
00:39:27,140 --> 00:39:28,320
break away from the group, which I think

1146
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:29,140
is great also.

1147
00:39:30,060 --> 00:39:32,780
You have to pay 25% to secure

1148
00:39:32,780 --> 00:39:33,400
your spot.

1149
00:39:33,900 --> 00:39:35,380
And then after that, you can even do

1150
00:39:35,380 --> 00:39:36,800
a payment plan if you want, but the

1151
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,880
balance has to be paid 90 days before

1152
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,040
the trip, which would be like August 7th.

1153
00:39:41,300 --> 00:39:42,540
So that's that one.

1154
00:39:43,260 --> 00:39:45,620
Also- So that's $1,899.

1155
00:39:46,540 --> 00:39:46,940
Yes.

1156
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:47,620
Okay.

1157
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,040
That seems very reasonable.

1158
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:49,900
Yeah.

1159
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:50,680
Considering that.

1160
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,460
And then in November, it took like kind

1161
00:39:53,460 --> 00:39:54,180
of- How many days?

1162
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:55,140
How many days?

1163
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:56,820
It's a seven day itinerary.

1164
00:39:56,940 --> 00:39:57,180
Okay.

1165
00:39:57,180 --> 00:39:57,520
Sorry.

1166
00:39:57,620 --> 00:39:57,920
Go ahead.

1167
00:39:59,340 --> 00:40:00,780
And then the flights to Vietnam are not

1168
00:40:00,780 --> 00:40:01,060
bad.

1169
00:40:01,180 --> 00:40:02,320
And then if you're in Los Angeles, you

1170
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,400
can get really good flight deals to like

1171
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:05,200
Hanoi, for example.

1172
00:40:05,980 --> 00:40:08,220
And then if there's another itinerary that the

1173
00:40:08,220 --> 00:40:11,900
Seoul, sorry, the Korea Tourism Office of New

1174
00:40:11,900 --> 00:40:13,800
York are promoting a vegan itinerary in Seoul,

1175
00:40:13,900 --> 00:40:15,400
that one's four days, three nights.

1176
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,760
And that one's depending on the hotel, like

1177
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,260
if you want four star or five star

1178
00:40:19,260 --> 00:40:21,640
hotel, that one's either $1,200 or $1

1179
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:21,740
,400.

1180
00:40:22,620 --> 00:40:23,440
But it's amazing.

1181
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:24,860
It's basically everything I did in my Seoul

1182
00:40:24,860 --> 00:40:25,900
video plus more.

1183
00:40:25,900 --> 00:40:27,960
So, but that one's end of May.

1184
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:29,720
But if you are interested in that one,

1185
00:40:30,180 --> 00:40:31,660
please let me know and I will let

1186
00:40:31,660 --> 00:40:33,140
you and I will get you all the

1187
00:40:33,140 --> 00:40:34,400
information as well.

1188
00:40:35,020 --> 00:40:40,460
And then other vegan itinerary options are the

1189
00:40:40,460 --> 00:40:41,060
Getaway Co.

1190
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,420
They're at a higher price point, but like

1191
00:40:43,420 --> 00:40:48,400
everything is 100% vegan and like it's

1192
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:49,540
a little bougier, right?

1193
00:40:49,580 --> 00:40:50,240
Which I kind of like.

1194
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,360
So if you like that more luxury feel

1195
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,520
travel, definitely look into that.

1196
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,060
And then there's also World Vegan Travel.

1197
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:57,460
They do all that as well.

1198
00:40:58,940 --> 00:41:01,040
And yeah, so they do a lot of

1199
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:02,120
great destinations as well.

1200
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,120
And I know also there are certain celebrities,

1201
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,340
friends of mine have travelled with Miyoko Shinner

1202
00:41:08,340 --> 00:41:09,700
to Italy.

1203
00:41:09,700 --> 00:41:09,960
Oh, yeah.

1204
00:41:10,340 --> 00:41:13,720
And there are some other prominent people in

1205
00:41:13,720 --> 00:41:16,040
the vegan world who are kind of the

1206
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:20,300
host of a travel, a group travel event.

1207
00:41:20,420 --> 00:41:21,700
And I know a lot of people have

1208
00:41:21,700 --> 00:41:22,520
really enjoyed it.

1209
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,880
So it sounds like you're doing something similar.

1210
00:41:25,540 --> 00:41:27,020
I think this is fantastic.

1211
00:41:27,140 --> 00:41:28,800
It sounds like you're building an empire.

1212
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:30,700
I have a couple of quick questions.

1213
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,760
Yes, I mean, really, I'm very impressed that

1214
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,100
everything you're doing, this is my favourite photo

1215
00:41:37,100 --> 00:41:38,760
of you because you look like either you're

1216
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,200
losing your mind or you've tasted the best

1217
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,340
thing or I'm not exactly sure what's going

1218
00:41:44,340 --> 00:41:46,760
on here, but what is the most surprising

1219
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,520
thing that has ever happened to you while

1220
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,640
you're on these tours and trips?

1221
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,200
Yeah, so honestly, I do actually want to

1222
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:54,660
talk about this.

1223
00:41:54,780 --> 00:41:56,140
The reason I chose this as my cover

1224
00:41:56,140 --> 00:41:58,060
photo is because this dish that they served

1225
00:41:58,060 --> 00:41:59,460
me literally blew my mind.

1226
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,700
So if you ever go to Singapore, which

1227
00:42:01,700 --> 00:42:03,400
I absolutely recommend, I love it.

1228
00:42:03,420 --> 00:42:04,580
It's one of my favourite countries that I've

1229
00:42:04,580 --> 00:42:05,080
ever been to.

1230
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,040
And as a Western, it's pretty easy because

1231
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:08,600
the national language is English.

1232
00:42:08,780 --> 00:42:10,480
So you have no communication issues, right?

1233
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,260
And it's like travelling to three countries in

1234
00:42:13,260 --> 00:42:16,180
one because they have, you know, you go

1235
00:42:16,180 --> 00:42:17,700
to Chinatown and you feel like you're in

1236
00:42:17,700 --> 00:42:17,940
China.

1237
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,540
You go to little India, you feel like

1238
00:42:19,540 --> 00:42:19,960
you're in India.

1239
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,200
And then you have like the Singapore vibe,

1240
00:42:22,340 --> 00:42:25,600
which is like Malay cuisine and everything.

1241
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,980
And like, you know, everything's like, there's so

1242
00:42:27,980 --> 00:42:29,800
many cultures like mixed in, right?

1243
00:42:30,140 --> 00:42:32,940
So if you go to Chinatown in Singapore,

1244
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,060
something you will often see in the hawker

1245
00:42:35,060 --> 00:42:38,280
centres, the food courts, is this giant grill

1246
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,480
of like, people get served this grilled fish,

1247
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:42,200
right?

1248
00:42:42,340 --> 00:42:44,180
And they're eating it, they're on the street

1249
00:42:44,180 --> 00:42:45,660
in the hawker centres.

1250
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:49,340
Well, this restaurant, Lotus Vegetarian, made that whole

1251
00:42:49,340 --> 00:42:51,760
experience 100% vegan.

1252
00:42:51,980 --> 00:42:54,440
They made the fish even look like fish,

1253
00:42:54,540 --> 00:42:56,880
like the shape, not like the shape, shape,

1254
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:57,540
but you know what I mean?

1255
00:42:57,580 --> 00:42:59,120
Like they served it in a way that

1256
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:00,500
looked like fish, but it was all made

1257
00:43:00,500 --> 00:43:01,580
of mung bean protein.

1258
00:43:01,980 --> 00:43:04,140
And when she was even cutting it, she

1259
00:43:04,140 --> 00:43:05,640
was cutting it as if it were like

1260
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:06,880
the way you would serve it traditionally.

1261
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,780
And I was like, this is insane.

1262
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:10,740
I was just like, this is the whole

1263
00:43:10,740 --> 00:43:12,920
experience, but vegan.

1264
00:43:13,540 --> 00:43:15,440
And I know some people might think that's

1265
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:15,680
weird.

1266
00:43:15,780 --> 00:43:17,240
They're like, well, why do you replace foods

1267
00:43:17,240 --> 00:43:19,700
that are vegan with stuff that doesn't look

1268
00:43:19,700 --> 00:43:20,080
vegan?

1269
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:21,280
And I get that.

1270
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,180
It seems a little contradictory, but the thing

1271
00:43:24,180 --> 00:43:25,620
I like to point out is like, it's

1272
00:43:25,620 --> 00:43:28,240
kind of important to do that because if

1273
00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:31,260
someone's transitioning to veganism for the first time,

1274
00:43:31,460 --> 00:43:33,400
they're gonna be drawn to foods that are

1275
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:34,740
familiar to them, right?

1276
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,200
So there is kind of that importance that

1277
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:38,820
we need, like it's important for us to

1278
00:43:38,820 --> 00:43:40,960
kind of show them the replacements in foods

1279
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,560
that look familiar for them to like mentally

1280
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:44,940
make the switch, right?

1281
00:43:44,940 --> 00:43:46,340
Because if you offer them and be like,

1282
00:43:46,340 --> 00:43:48,140
hey, like let's say in Mexico City, hey,

1283
00:43:48,220 --> 00:43:49,780
do you want a wheat, you know, meat

1284
00:43:49,780 --> 00:43:50,640
taco?

1285
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,720
They're gonna be like, I'm sorry, a what?

1286
00:43:53,380 --> 00:43:54,400
But if you say, hey, do you want

1287
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:55,180
an al pastor taco?

1288
00:43:55,300 --> 00:43:56,240
They're gonna be like, yeah, I know what

1289
00:43:56,240 --> 00:43:57,800
al pastor is, you know, but it's like

1290
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,100
ingredients are completely different.

1291
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:00,840
So, yeah, that dish was amazing.

1292
00:44:00,940 --> 00:44:01,540
I love Singapore.

1293
00:44:01,700 --> 00:44:02,380
You have to go to Singapore.

1294
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:03,780
That restaurant is 10 out of 10.

1295
00:44:04,700 --> 00:44:07,680
So here's, I think perhaps the most important

1296
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,420
question and maybe you can give us the

1297
00:44:10,420 --> 00:44:11,220
answer to.

1298
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,060
There are a lot of people who say

1299
00:44:13,060 --> 00:44:15,560
right now because we had moved so quickly,

1300
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,220
so fast and we had exploded on the

1301
00:44:18,220 --> 00:44:19,160
world stage.

1302
00:44:19,460 --> 00:44:22,480
For example, when Beyond Meat went public, it

1303
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:26,200
was the most successful IPO, initial public offering

1304
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:27,020
in years.

1305
00:44:27,380 --> 00:44:31,380
And then there was a backlash from the

1306
00:44:31,380 --> 00:44:34,140
meat industry and to a large degree from

1307
00:44:34,140 --> 00:44:36,720
the mainstream media that sort of started writing

1308
00:44:36,720 --> 00:44:37,520
hit pieces.

1309
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,820
And so there's a feeling that, well, veganism

1310
00:44:40,820 --> 00:44:43,500
might be a little bit on the retrenchment,

1311
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:45,820
under attack, on the defensive.

1312
00:44:46,180 --> 00:44:47,820
You travel the world.

1313
00:44:48,540 --> 00:44:52,300
Give us your assessment of the vegan movement,

1314
00:44:52,820 --> 00:44:54,080
where it's at.

1315
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,960
Are we getting to the tipping point?

1316
00:44:57,340 --> 00:44:58,300
What's your assessment?

1317
00:44:59,960 --> 00:45:02,720
I think it's only a matter of time

1318
00:45:02,720 --> 00:45:04,880
until there's gonna be less and less meat

1319
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,100
and dairy, to be honest.

1320
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:07,920
I feel like that's the way it's going.

1321
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,160
Now is an amazing time to be vegan

1322
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,360
because there's just so many options out there.

1323
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,660
But something I don't wanna dismiss also is

1324
00:45:18,660 --> 00:45:20,920
we have to remember that there's a lot

1325
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,600
of traditional dishes that have been vegan for

1326
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:23,920
centuries.

1327
00:45:25,060 --> 00:45:25,640
Do you know what I mean?

1328
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:27,920
Like an example, today, I mean, not today,

1329
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:29,500
a couple of days ago, because I'm filming

1330
00:45:29,500 --> 00:45:31,220
a video here in Portland, I went to

1331
00:45:31,220 --> 00:45:33,160
a vegan Sri Lankan restaurant, Mirasada.

1332
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:34,920
Mirasada is delicious.

1333
00:45:35,060 --> 00:45:36,560
If you're ever in Portland, please go check

1334
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:36,980
them out.

1335
00:45:36,980 --> 00:45:38,940
But something I wanna point out is that

1336
00:45:38,940 --> 00:45:41,100
traditionally, a lot of the food in Sri

1337
00:45:41,100 --> 00:45:43,820
Lanka is actually vegan friendly because they don't

1338
00:45:43,820 --> 00:45:44,740
use dairy in anything.

1339
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,420
They use coconut milk base for almost everything,

1340
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:47,700
right?

1341
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:51,060
And they have a lot of vegetables and

1342
00:45:51,060 --> 00:45:54,880
greens and tofu is very easy to access.

1343
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:56,820
So their dishes are traditionally vegan.

1344
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,140
Same with Ethiopian food.

1345
00:45:58,620 --> 00:46:00,000
That's not a new concept.

1346
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,020
Same with like in every country has their

1347
00:46:03,020 --> 00:46:03,520
vegan dishes.

1348
00:46:03,620 --> 00:46:04,760
That is not a new thing.

1349
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,320
So if people think that it was this

1350
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:08,860
new thing that Westerners have come up with,

1351
00:46:08,980 --> 00:46:09,880
absolutely not.

1352
00:46:10,220 --> 00:46:11,880
You know, it's something that's been around forever

1353
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:13,780
and people are now realising, hey, like, you

1354
00:46:13,780 --> 00:46:14,120
know what?

1355
00:46:14,260 --> 00:46:15,680
I wanna go back to our roots.

1356
00:46:15,820 --> 00:46:16,980
I wanna go back to the way that

1357
00:46:16,980 --> 00:46:19,120
we used to eat or maybe like, even

1358
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:20,580
in, you know, a lot of people often

1359
00:46:20,580 --> 00:46:22,880
say that vegan food is very processed and

1360
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:23,380
not healthy.

1361
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:24,900
Yes, some of it is.

1362
00:46:24,940 --> 00:46:26,320
I will say, I won't deny that.

1363
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,420
But also non-vegan food is like that

1364
00:46:28,420 --> 00:46:28,680
too.

1365
00:46:29,140 --> 00:46:31,240
So whether, no matter what diet you're in,

1366
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,980
you have to choose wisely your food, right?

1367
00:46:33,980 --> 00:46:35,820
It's okay to every once in a while

1368
00:46:35,820 --> 00:46:37,180
eat the vegan novelty items.

1369
00:46:37,300 --> 00:46:37,780
I'm not gonna lie.

1370
00:46:37,900 --> 00:46:40,600
I definitely enjoy a vegan cheeseburger every once

1371
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:41,080
in a while.

1372
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:42,420
But I'm not gonna eat that every day,

1373
00:46:42,500 --> 00:46:42,720
right?

1374
00:46:43,180 --> 00:46:44,000
I think at the end of the day,

1375
00:46:44,060 --> 00:46:45,900
it's very important to just remember like, hey,

1376
00:46:46,260 --> 00:46:48,340
we have to remember whole food plant-based,

1377
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,360
which is why I think even Impossible Burger,

1378
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,720
they did their re, they just revamped their

1379
00:46:52,720 --> 00:46:56,080
recipe because they realised, hey, our first recipe

1380
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:57,500
wasn't actually that healthy.

1381
00:46:57,740 --> 00:46:59,220
Let's make a healthier one, right?

1382
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:00,960
Because that's what the vegan audience was asking

1383
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:01,240
for.

1384
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:02,880
And Beyond Meat is one of the two.

1385
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:04,460
Yeah, because I know they both redid their

1386
00:47:04,460 --> 00:47:08,920
recipes, but yeah, like they're listening to the

1387
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:10,800
vegan audience and they're listening to what maybe

1388
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,540
non-vegans also want too, right?

1389
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:16,280
So I think this is just the beginning.

1390
00:47:16,540 --> 00:47:19,360
Like we've, you know, the last five years,

1391
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,460
the vegan scene has grown insane and it's

1392
00:47:22,460 --> 00:47:23,380
just gonna keep growing.

1393
00:47:23,700 --> 00:47:24,760
That's how I see it.

1394
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:27,540
Yeah, I agree with you.

1395
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,620
I was just at Natural Products Expo West,

1396
00:47:30,620 --> 00:47:34,420
which is the largest health food convergence conference

1397
00:47:34,420 --> 00:47:37,060
in the world at the Anaheim Convention Centre.

1398
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,920
I mean, it's like miles of booths.

1399
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:42,160
It's unbelievable.

1400
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:46,880
And I've been there before, maybe four or

1401
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,520
five years ago, this was so much more

1402
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:49,860
vegan.

1403
00:47:50,340 --> 00:47:53,640
It was like, it felt like every booth

1404
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,220
either was vegan or had a vegan option.

1405
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,440
Not everyone, but I was just astounded and

1406
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,000
it really gave me hope.

1407
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,340
I was like, wow, you know, there's been

1408
00:48:04,340 --> 00:48:06,800
a couple of big news pieces written that

1409
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,720
were negative, balderdash, nonsense.

1410
00:48:11,580 --> 00:48:14,080
It's rippling, it's growing.

1411
00:48:14,500 --> 00:48:17,840
And it was just such a, it was

1412
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,000
like I wanted to take all these naysayers

1413
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,420
and take them to the Natural Products Expo

1414
00:48:23,420 --> 00:48:28,460
West because it was really like overwhelming.

1415
00:48:29,140 --> 00:48:31,400
And that has really given me a lot

1416
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:31,820
of hope.

1417
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,040
What are your thoughts?

1418
00:48:34,100 --> 00:48:38,360
Because, you know, look, at Unchained TV, we're

1419
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:39,720
mostly volunteer run.

1420
00:48:39,860 --> 00:48:42,660
We're the world's only nonprofit vegan streaming television

1421
00:48:42,660 --> 00:48:46,000
network global, except for China and maybe North

1422
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:47,880
Korea, but it's all over the world.

1423
00:48:48,260 --> 00:48:51,500
We're doing this because obviously we want to

1424
00:48:51,500 --> 00:48:52,120
save animals.

1425
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:55,540
We're also concerned about human health, world hunger,

1426
00:48:55,900 --> 00:48:58,600
which is something that could be eliminated if

1427
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,600
we all transition to plant-based, but also

1428
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:02,700
climate change.

1429
00:49:03,140 --> 00:49:06,680
We have a documentary, which I produce called

1430
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,300
Countdown to Year Zero.

1431
00:49:09,240 --> 00:49:11,700
If we don't transition to a plant-based

1432
00:49:11,700 --> 00:49:18,900
culture, you know, soon we are really barreling

1433
00:49:18,900 --> 00:49:20,140
toward a climate apocalypse.

1434
00:49:21,180 --> 00:49:25,360
Indeed, the New York Times recently reported that

1435
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,300
Oxford University did a study that showed heavy

1436
00:49:28,300 --> 00:49:30,580
meat eaters who switch to a plant-based

1437
00:49:30,580 --> 00:49:34,220
diet can reduce their greenhouse emissions footprint by

1438
00:49:34,220 --> 00:49:35,860
75%.

1439
00:49:37,100 --> 00:49:38,520
Nobody else picked it up.

1440
00:49:38,720 --> 00:49:40,400
I was like, wow, that's a solution to

1441
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:41,160
the climate crisis.

1442
00:49:41,380 --> 00:49:43,320
It's got to be on CNN tonight, on

1443
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,180
MSNBC tonight on this.

1444
00:49:45,300 --> 00:49:46,740
No, no.

1445
00:49:46,740 --> 00:49:50,360
So that's why we're doing this, to get

1446
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:51,560
the word out.

1447
00:49:52,660 --> 00:49:56,160
They say, you know, when 3.5%

1448
00:49:56,160 --> 00:50:01,120
of the population becomes XYZ, it hits a

1449
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:03,200
tipping point and then the rest follow.

1450
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:05,920
The reason I'm asking this long-winded question

1451
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:10,480
is given the urgency, the clock is ticking,

1452
00:50:11,020 --> 00:50:13,660
where are we on that journey to hit

1453
00:50:13,660 --> 00:50:15,160
the 3.5%?

1454
00:50:17,220 --> 00:50:18,500
So I think that's the thing.

1455
00:50:18,580 --> 00:50:22,240
I think as human nature, it's easy for

1456
00:50:22,240 --> 00:50:24,660
people to be afraid, to be like, well,

1457
00:50:24,660 --> 00:50:26,120
I don't want to give up things that

1458
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:27,020
I've been doing forever.

1459
00:50:27,180 --> 00:50:28,100
I don't want to give up foods that

1460
00:50:28,100 --> 00:50:28,400
I've been eating.

1461
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:30,040
There's this thing where we don't like things

1462
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:31,520
being taken away from us, right?

1463
00:50:31,660 --> 00:50:34,260
And I think that's not the way to

1464
00:50:34,260 --> 00:50:34,940
approach it.

1465
00:50:35,580 --> 00:50:36,860
You know, a lot of times people have

1466
00:50:36,860 --> 00:50:39,320
asked us, like, oh, what should I, you

1467
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,180
know, I don't want to go vegan because

1468
00:50:41,180 --> 00:50:42,100
I don't want to give up business.

1469
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:44,200
Don't think of it that way.

1470
00:50:44,660 --> 00:50:46,380
The way we have to start training people

1471
00:50:46,380 --> 00:50:50,300
to think is, how about, what if we

1472
00:50:50,300 --> 00:50:52,340
start with just, okay, eat the same way

1473
00:50:52,340 --> 00:50:54,480
you're eating, but how about instead add more

1474
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:55,620
fruits and vegetables to your diet?

1475
00:50:55,820 --> 00:50:57,860
Add more plant-based proteins to your diet

1476
00:50:57,860 --> 00:51:00,800
and try it out rather than you have

1477
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:01,940
to take away, you have to stop eating

1478
00:51:01,940 --> 00:51:02,860
this right now, right?

1479
00:51:03,740 --> 00:51:06,600
If you give people that positive and reinforcement

1480
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:08,920
kind of experience, they're going to be more

1481
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:10,360
like, hey, I like this.

1482
00:51:10,500 --> 00:51:12,340
And they will start, my theory is they

1483
00:51:12,340 --> 00:51:14,080
will start volunteering to get rid of the

1484
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,000
foods that they know are being negative, that

1485
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,020
are negatively impacting the environment, right?

1486
00:51:19,500 --> 00:51:21,320
It's all about, we just got to keep

1487
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:25,220
giving people positive experiences and they themselves, once

1488
00:51:25,220 --> 00:51:28,820
they're convicted, will naturally start changing their habits.

1489
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:30,460
I don't know if that's the way I've

1490
00:51:30,460 --> 00:51:33,180
answered your question, but that's how my mind

1491
00:51:33,180 --> 00:51:33,720
went, so.

1492
00:51:34,140 --> 00:51:36,320
Well, yes, but I guess what I was

1493
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,340
also saying is as somebody who travels the

1494
00:51:39,340 --> 00:51:41,780
world, what are you seeing?

1495
00:51:41,780 --> 00:51:44,460
Like my experience going to the Natural Products

1496
00:51:44,460 --> 00:51:46,960
Expo West was very reassuring.

1497
00:51:47,700 --> 00:51:51,020
But then sometimes I can just go to

1498
00:51:51,020 --> 00:51:54,060
a hotel, be invited to an event at

1499
00:51:54,060 --> 00:51:56,440
a hotel in my neighbourhood, which is in

1500
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,380
Los Angeles, which should be filled with a

1501
00:51:59,380 --> 00:52:02,540
plethora of vegan options and find that no,

1502
00:52:02,700 --> 00:52:05,240
there's no vegan options here and the waiters

1503
00:52:05,240 --> 00:52:07,420
are acting like I'm a pain in the

1504
00:52:07,420 --> 00:52:09,880
neck because I'm asking for something vegan and

1505
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:13,080
I'm like, oh my gosh, are we still

1506
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:14,000
in the 50s?

1507
00:52:14,060 --> 00:52:15,580
Like, why is this happening?

1508
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:20,340
So it's kind of like, it's hard for

1509
00:52:20,340 --> 00:52:21,160
me to assess.

1510
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:22,720
I think it'd be hard for anybody to

1511
00:52:22,720 --> 00:52:25,920
assess globally where our global culture stands when

1512
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:27,980
it comes to plant-based, but you might

1513
00:52:27,980 --> 00:52:30,080
have a good, since you travel the world,

1514
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:31,700
you might have a really good handle.

1515
00:52:32,260 --> 00:52:33,900
I have my two cents on that.

1516
00:52:34,060 --> 00:52:35,860
So globally, it's present.

1517
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:37,980
I've seen it literally in every country I've

1518
00:52:37,980 --> 00:52:39,480
been to, and even to my surprise, El

1519
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:40,860
Salvador, where I thought was not going to

1520
00:52:40,860 --> 00:52:43,380
be present at all, but it was there.

1521
00:52:43,620 --> 00:52:46,240
So that just says something, that it is

1522
00:52:46,240 --> 00:52:47,620
present everywhere.

1523
00:52:47,740 --> 00:52:50,960
However, places where it needs to improve, airports,

1524
00:52:51,240 --> 00:52:53,240
for goodness sakes, airport lounges.

1525
00:52:54,240 --> 00:52:56,160
I have, I'm like, if I ever, like

1526
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:57,740
I just have another big idea that I

1527
00:52:57,740 --> 00:53:00,200
will eventually hit, but there's still a lot

1528
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,500
of room to improvement, particularly like in the

1529
00:53:02,500 --> 00:53:04,320
US and like more mainstream places.

1530
00:53:04,700 --> 00:53:06,120
There's still a lot of work to be

1531
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:06,380
done.

1532
00:53:06,380 --> 00:53:08,120
So even though there is a presence of

1533
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,440
veganism in every country, there's still major places

1534
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:12,460
that still need to work.

1535
00:53:13,240 --> 00:53:15,040
And I don't know who we need to

1536
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:16,660
talk to to go do these things, because

1537
00:53:16,660 --> 00:53:17,940
like you said, you're in Los Angeles.

1538
00:53:17,940 --> 00:53:19,440
You would think in Los Angeles, like the

1539
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:21,480
UK, there should be a vegan option literally

1540
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:21,800
everywhere.

1541
00:53:21,860 --> 00:53:23,300
In London, I was shocked.

1542
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:26,500
Everywhere you go, literally everywhere you go, there's

1543
00:53:26,500 --> 00:53:27,100
a vegan option.

1544
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:28,920
So it's like, why is that not the

1545
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,220
case like in Los Angeles or like in

1546
00:53:31,220 --> 00:53:33,740
other, in all major US cities, right?

1547
00:53:35,260 --> 00:53:37,440
Because now it's becoming, it's a norm.

1548
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,620
Vegan diets are becoming more mainstream.

1549
00:53:40,940 --> 00:53:42,320
So I think people just need to adopt

1550
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:44,000
that mindset, even if they themselves are not

1551
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,100
being in business, they should start thinking, hey,

1552
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:47,460
vegan people exist.

1553
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,020
We should probably include one or two vegan

1554
00:53:50,020 --> 00:53:50,640
options, right?

1555
00:53:51,020 --> 00:53:52,540
So that's my, that's my thing.

1556
00:53:52,580 --> 00:53:53,780
It's present, but we still have some way

1557
00:53:53,780 --> 00:53:54,060
to go.

1558
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:57,940
I agree with you, airports and hotels.

1559
00:53:58,380 --> 00:54:01,020
There needs to be just a campaign to

1560
00:54:01,020 --> 00:54:03,060
get airports and hotels on board.

1561
00:54:03,060 --> 00:54:05,380
And it almost seems like the airports are

1562
00:54:05,380 --> 00:54:06,100
going backwards.

1563
00:54:06,660 --> 00:54:09,560
I think they, about six years ago, they

1564
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:11,780
were kind of doing it as a trend.

1565
00:54:11,780 --> 00:54:13,760
And I think they sort of have just

1566
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:16,320
regressed, but you know, there's always going to

1567
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,980
be those pockets, but overall we are out

1568
00:54:19,980 --> 00:54:20,900
of time, unfortunately.

1569
00:54:20,900 --> 00:54:22,340
I could talk to you for hours about

1570
00:54:22,340 --> 00:54:22,640
this.

1571
00:54:23,380 --> 00:54:26,480
It's so exciting to have you on Unchained

00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:28,380
