It is an adventure.

It is so exciting, and you're going to
29
00:01:25,070 --> 00:01:27,530

30

owner of Kale My Name, and Tamika, who

is a social media influencer, and guess what?
32
00:01:33,090 --> 00:01:35,550
They were matching outfits, as you can see.
33
00:01:36,130 --> 00:01:39,230
Kale Crew is so very exciting.
34
00:01:39,830 --> 00:01:42,950
These guys are going to really give you
35
00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:45,350
this look at Chicago.
36
00:01:45,990 --> 00:01:47,950
You know, people think that the vegan movement
37
00:01:47,950 --> 00:01:50,150
is sort of a New York, L.A.,
38
00:01:50,150 --> 00:01:51,170
Berlin thing.
39
00:01:51,450 --> 00:01:51,850
No.
40
00:01:52,470 --> 00:01:56,010
The Midwest is going vegan like crazy.
41
00:01:56,010 --> 00:01:58,770
They go to Alice and Friends restaurant at
42
00:01:58,770 --> 00:01:59,870
the Glen in Chicago.
43
00:02:00,170 --> 00:02:03,390
It is super, super fun, and without further
44
00:02:03,390 --> 00:02:06,830
ado, I would love you to meet these
45
00:02:06,830 --> 00:02:10,630
two powerhouses, so let's do it.
46
00:02:11,370 --> 00:02:13,870
Thank you so much for joining us, guys.
47
00:02:15,070 --> 00:02:16,950
Nemanja, I want to start with you because
48
00:02:16,950 --> 00:02:17,950
we got this idea.
49
00:02:18,330 --> 00:02:20,570
We were at a party together, and I
50
00:02:20,570 --> 00:02:23,810
said, wow, Chicago is an amazing vegan scene.
51
00:02:24,110 --> 00:02:25,130
Why don't we do a show?
52
00:02:25,130 --> 00:02:27,930
And you just said, yes, and next thing
53
00:02:27,930 --> 00:02:29,210
you know, boom, you did it.
54
00:02:29,810 --> 00:02:32,870
The next thing you know, I was texting
55
00:02:32,870 --> 00:02:36,850
Tamika because, in my mind, Tamika is the
56
00:02:36,850 --> 00:02:41,130
face of a vegan Chicago foodie, and she
57
00:02:41,130 --> 00:02:42,950
just does that normally.
58
00:02:43,170 --> 00:02:45,830
She goes to these places and often drugs
59
00:02:45,830 --> 00:02:48,950
me with her, so we just do that
60
00:02:48,950 --> 00:02:52,130
naturally, and when you mention it, that there
61
00:02:52,130 --> 00:02:55,010
is a lot of things that you have
62
00:02:55,010 --> 00:02:57,010
in New York, in L.A., and you
63
00:02:57,010 --> 00:02:59,450
didn't have in Chicago, I immediately thought of
64
00:02:59,450 --> 00:03:00,750
Tamika, and I was like, if I'm going
65
00:03:00,750 --> 00:03:02,410
to do this, it is going to be
66
00:03:02,410 --> 00:03:05,370
with her, so I immediately texted her, and
67
00:03:05,370 --> 00:03:07,330
she said, boo, you already know.
68
00:03:07,650 --> 00:03:08,770
We've been talking about this.
69
00:03:08,790 --> 00:03:10,090
We've been waiting for an email.
70
00:03:11,370 --> 00:03:13,770
I told you, Jane, send me an email,
71
00:03:14,430 --> 00:03:18,390
and the second that email was sent, we
72
00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:20,950
came to an agreement and the show started,
73
00:03:21,570 --> 00:03:21,690
so.
74
00:03:22,050 --> 00:03:26,510
So, Tamika, you bring such life energy, verb,
75
00:03:26,570 --> 00:03:28,890
sophistication to this show.
76
00:03:29,270 --> 00:03:29,570
Thank you.
77
00:03:29,930 --> 00:03:32,530
Tell us, you are a social media influencer.
78
00:03:32,810 --> 00:03:35,070
You've been on the Rachel Ray Show, WGN
79
00:03:35,070 --> 00:03:37,910
News, all sorts of media.
80
00:03:38,870 --> 00:03:40,950
Why is this a passion for you?
81
00:03:41,410 --> 00:03:42,450
Oh, my gosh.
82
00:03:42,690 --> 00:03:44,550
Jane, first of all, thank you for having
83
00:03:44,550 --> 00:03:44,730
me.
84
00:03:44,730 --> 00:03:48,170
And secondly, it's definitely a passion, because once
85
00:03:48,170 --> 00:03:50,970
I was able to realise just how much
86
00:03:50,970 --> 00:03:53,910
it's done for my health, how much it's
87
00:03:53,910 --> 00:03:56,750
done for, you know, just my overall quality
88
00:03:56,750 --> 00:03:58,990
of life, and then how I've fallen in
89
00:03:58,990 --> 00:04:01,510
love with animals, like, I want to farm.
90
00:04:01,650 --> 00:04:03,230
I had to just share the lifestyle.
91
00:04:03,450 --> 00:04:06,650
I said, if it helps one person, I'm
92
00:04:06,650 --> 00:04:07,410
doing my job.
93
00:04:07,470 --> 00:04:09,390
So, I just hopped on and just started
94
00:04:09,390 --> 00:04:11,230
having fun and just sharing and just wanted
95
00:04:11,230 --> 00:04:12,670
to connect with other people like me.
96
00:04:13,950 --> 00:04:16,410
Well, I want to show a clip, because
97
00:04:16,410 --> 00:04:18,769
this is such a fun show.
98
00:04:19,110 --> 00:04:21,410
Again, I kind of trusted Nemanja.
99
00:04:21,650 --> 00:04:23,730
He's extremely successful.
100
00:04:24,250 --> 00:04:26,830
Kale My Name Restaurant in Chicago is the
101
00:04:26,830 --> 00:04:27,270
bomb.
102
00:04:27,530 --> 00:04:29,090
Like, everybody talks about it.
103
00:04:29,110 --> 00:04:32,150
He is literally, when you say Kale My
104
00:04:32,150 --> 00:04:34,050
Name, everybody is like, wow.
105
00:04:34,370 --> 00:04:37,810
So, let's show a clip, because I think
106
00:04:37,810 --> 00:04:41,570
you've really, really woken me up about how
107
00:04:41,570 --> 00:04:45,950
extraordinary the vegan scene is in Chicago.
108
00:04:47,950 --> 00:04:49,750
Hello, Hungry Kales.
109
00:04:50,050 --> 00:04:52,250
Welcome to our show, Kale Crew.
110
00:04:52,650 --> 00:04:54,370
I'm a little hungry, Kale, today.
111
00:04:54,570 --> 00:04:56,250
You want to come on a tantalising adventure?
112
00:04:56,470 --> 00:04:56,950
Absolutely.
113
00:04:57,330 --> 00:04:58,210
I cannot wait.
114
00:04:58,350 --> 00:04:59,650
My name is Nemanja Golubovic.
115
00:04:59,750 --> 00:05:00,590
I'm Samika Price.
116
00:05:00,750 --> 00:05:03,830
And we are in Chicago, where vegan options
117
00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:04,830
are everywhere.
118
00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:07,330
North, south, east, west.
119
00:05:07,330 --> 00:05:10,430
Well, we cannot go that much east, because
120
00:05:10,430 --> 00:05:11,950
we're going to end up in a lake.
121
00:05:12,290 --> 00:05:13,030
Lake Michigan, okay.
122
00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:15,110
Okay, but we can go some other directions.
123
00:05:15,210 --> 00:05:15,430
Yes.
124
00:05:15,430 --> 00:05:16,590
So, where are we going today?
125
00:05:16,830 --> 00:05:18,610
Okay, so we're going right outside of Chicago
126
00:05:18,610 --> 00:05:19,690
in Cicero, Illinois.
127
00:05:19,930 --> 00:05:21,130
It's called Taste of Bree.
128
00:05:21,370 --> 00:05:23,950
They're known for their tantalising vegan eats and
129
00:05:23,950 --> 00:05:24,470
meal prep.
130
00:05:25,050 --> 00:05:25,410
Mm-hmm.
131
00:05:25,590 --> 00:05:26,430
I cannot wait.
132
00:05:26,510 --> 00:05:27,510
And that's west, right?
133
00:05:27,870 --> 00:05:28,550
Yes, it is just west.
134
00:05:28,550 --> 00:05:29,590
Let's run west.
135
00:05:29,730 --> 00:05:30,490
Oh, okay, okay.
136
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:30,690
Yes!
137
00:05:32,950 --> 00:05:36,470
I graduated from La Cordon Bleu, and I
138
00:05:36,470 --> 00:05:37,370
did a year there.
139
00:05:37,470 --> 00:05:38,370
I learned so much.
140
00:05:38,670 --> 00:05:40,810
And I really love making plant-based dishes.
141
00:05:40,950 --> 00:05:42,870
I feel like the creativity is endless.
142
00:05:43,450 --> 00:05:43,750
Yes.
143
00:05:43,770 --> 00:05:45,550
And you can just make so much, and
144
00:05:45,550 --> 00:05:46,230
it's good for you.
145
00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:49,750
So, that is so, you've made it fun.
146
00:05:49,930 --> 00:05:52,450
I mean, so many people consider veganism some
147
00:05:52,450 --> 00:05:53,410
kind of sacrifice.
148
00:05:54,370 --> 00:05:56,850
You really show them that it is the
149
00:05:56,850 --> 00:05:58,510
most fun lifestyle.
150
00:05:59,470 --> 00:06:01,090
I think it's a life...
151
00:06:01,090 --> 00:06:01,530
Go ahead.
152
00:06:01,610 --> 00:06:02,050
I'm sorry.
153
00:06:02,250 --> 00:06:03,130
No, hurry.
154
00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:05,450
Go ahead.
155
00:06:05,630 --> 00:06:05,930
What was it?
156
00:06:06,510 --> 00:06:07,250
I'm sorry.
157
00:06:07,470 --> 00:06:09,230
I was just going to say, when you
158
00:06:09,230 --> 00:06:11,010
said that, Jane, it just instantly made me
159
00:06:11,010 --> 00:06:12,870
think, like, I truly feel like this vegan
160
00:06:12,870 --> 00:06:16,030
lifestyle is a life of abundance and joy.
161
00:06:17,850 --> 00:06:20,310
It is, and that's the thing.
162
00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:23,950
It's like trying to convince people, Namanja, that
163
00:06:23,950 --> 00:06:26,770
this is not a sacrifice, that it's a
164
00:06:26,770 --> 00:06:28,410
really glorious adventure.
165
00:06:28,610 --> 00:06:30,830
You're making that happen with this show.
166
00:06:30,930 --> 00:06:33,630
It is really an adventure because I start
167
00:06:33,630 --> 00:06:35,210
from my personal experience.
168
00:06:35,690 --> 00:06:39,250
I immediately thought, before I was vegan and
169
00:06:39,250 --> 00:06:42,710
unaware, I thought that it's restrictive, that I'm
170
00:06:42,710 --> 00:06:43,950
going to give something up.
171
00:06:44,010 --> 00:06:45,850
But it's so not true.
172
00:06:46,030 --> 00:06:48,650
There's a whole new world that you get
173
00:06:48,650 --> 00:06:51,530
to explore and enjoy, and so many things,
174
00:06:51,570 --> 00:06:53,190
I didn't even know it existed.
175
00:06:53,190 --> 00:06:55,510
Back in time, when I would be eating
176
00:06:55,510 --> 00:06:58,290
everything, as people would say, I wasn't just
177
00:06:58,290 --> 00:06:58,950
eating everything.
178
00:06:59,110 --> 00:07:02,810
I would be eating three different dead meats
179
00:07:02,810 --> 00:07:06,310
and potatoes, and that would be my lunch
180
00:07:06,310 --> 00:07:09,150
and dinner over and over and over and
181
00:07:09,150 --> 00:07:10,930
for the majority of my adult life.
182
00:07:11,310 --> 00:07:13,290
And then once I discovered the vegan food,
183
00:07:13,370 --> 00:07:14,830
now I'm like, what else is out there?
184
00:07:14,950 --> 00:07:17,130
You're discovering a jackfruit and all the fun
185
00:07:17,130 --> 00:07:19,030
ways that you can be preparing them, and
186
00:07:19,030 --> 00:07:21,610
I'm discovering more things.
187
00:07:22,170 --> 00:07:24,250
I don't know, how to make your own
188
00:07:24,250 --> 00:07:26,270
seitan, how to make your own proteins.
189
00:07:27,510 --> 00:07:30,230
Even some fruits, I just fell in love
190
00:07:30,230 --> 00:07:31,950
with a dragon fruit that I didn't even
191
00:07:31,950 --> 00:07:33,350
know it existed before.
192
00:07:33,690 --> 00:07:35,150
So many things.
193
00:07:35,350 --> 00:07:38,350
Tempeh, I never heard of it before going
194
00:07:38,350 --> 00:07:38,710
vegan.
195
00:07:39,710 --> 00:07:42,510
There is so much, and I'm honestly exploring
196
00:07:42,510 --> 00:07:44,270
something new every day.
197
00:07:44,270 --> 00:07:48,050
Just yesterday, Tamika and I ate a chips
198
00:07:48,050 --> 00:07:50,210
that was made out of beets, and I
199
00:07:50,210 --> 00:07:52,210
was like, who thought of this?
200
00:07:52,370 --> 00:07:54,510
This is such a good chips.
201
00:07:54,670 --> 00:07:58,150
And I'm like, there is something new every
202
00:07:58,150 --> 00:08:01,650
single day, and that's what veganism is all
203
00:08:01,650 --> 00:08:02,010
about.
204
00:08:02,210 --> 00:08:05,170
It is absolutely not restrictive, but it opens
205
00:08:05,170 --> 00:08:09,270
so many new doors that are just incredible.
206
00:08:09,270 --> 00:08:12,310
And what it can do to you, it's
207
00:08:12,310 --> 00:08:14,650
almost like a magical miracle.
208
00:08:14,750 --> 00:08:16,330
That's what your show does.
209
00:08:16,450 --> 00:08:17,510
It shows people.
210
00:08:17,650 --> 00:08:18,930
So we're going to go to the callers.
211
00:08:19,330 --> 00:08:22,390
Paige in Los Angeles, your question or thought
212
00:08:22,390 --> 00:08:23,470
for Nemanja and Tamika.
213
00:08:25,550 --> 00:08:28,570
Oh my gosh, I just love your show.
214
00:08:28,850 --> 00:08:30,070
You guys are amazing.
215
00:08:31,530 --> 00:08:32,350
Thank you.
216
00:08:32,490 --> 00:08:33,570
Here's my question.
217
00:08:35,990 --> 00:08:38,570
What is your biggest challenge?
218
00:08:38,570 --> 00:08:40,570
And I want to hear from each one
219
00:08:40,570 --> 00:08:40,850
of you.
220
00:08:41,010 --> 00:08:44,850
What are your challenges on making the show,
221
00:08:45,370 --> 00:08:46,430
being vegan?
222
00:08:47,010 --> 00:08:47,970
Pick one.
223
00:08:48,530 --> 00:08:49,110
Thank you.
224
00:08:49,630 --> 00:08:50,430
Good question.
225
00:08:51,010 --> 00:08:53,010
What are your biggest challenges, Nemanja?
226
00:08:53,090 --> 00:08:54,890
Because you walk around town like you ain't
227
00:08:54,890 --> 00:08:56,250
got no challenges.
228
00:08:58,550 --> 00:09:00,470
It feels that way.
229
00:09:00,810 --> 00:09:04,270
I would mostly say not as challenging as
230
00:09:04,270 --> 00:09:07,550
making the show, because that's been really a
231
00:09:07,550 --> 00:09:09,010
smooth experience for us.
232
00:09:09,250 --> 00:09:10,770
And the reason for that is because we
233
00:09:10,770 --> 00:09:12,210
both enjoyed so much.
234
00:09:12,610 --> 00:09:13,350
We love it.
235
00:09:13,450 --> 00:09:15,150
We are texting each other the day before
236
00:09:15,150 --> 00:09:15,890
shooting an episode.
237
00:09:16,050 --> 00:09:17,270
We are going like, oh my God, we
238
00:09:17,270 --> 00:09:17,950
are so excited.
239
00:09:18,390 --> 00:09:19,830
And we just know we're going to have
240
00:09:19,830 --> 00:09:21,990
a great time, because that's our experience.
241
00:09:22,090 --> 00:09:23,190
And those are our personalities.
242
00:09:23,530 --> 00:09:25,250
So when it comes to shooting a show,
243
00:09:25,330 --> 00:09:26,650
there is not much of a challenge.
244
00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:27,910
Well, there would be one.
245
00:09:28,010 --> 00:09:30,490
We cannot go to every single place out
246
00:09:30,490 --> 00:09:30,770
there.
247
00:09:31,130 --> 00:09:33,090
Because Tamika said one fun thing to me
248
00:09:33,090 --> 00:09:35,430
when I said, oh, you know, we're doing
249
00:09:35,430 --> 00:09:36,130
a season one.
250
00:09:36,130 --> 00:09:37,430
We know we're doing the 10 episodes.
251
00:09:37,710 --> 00:09:40,910
We will see if we are doing this
252
00:09:40,910 --> 00:09:41,250
more.
253
00:09:41,550 --> 00:09:43,150
And then Tamika said, boo, we can be
254
00:09:43,150 --> 00:09:44,270
doing this for years.
255
00:09:44,630 --> 00:09:48,930
Because there's so many places where we can
256
00:09:48,930 --> 00:09:49,210
go.
257
00:09:49,650 --> 00:09:51,170
So that would be the challenge, that we
258
00:09:51,170 --> 00:09:53,650
cannot make every single restaurant in Chicago that
259
00:09:53,650 --> 00:09:54,290
we want to.
260
00:09:54,730 --> 00:09:55,670
But we'll try.
261
00:09:56,910 --> 00:09:58,850
Well, you know, it's funny you should say
262
00:09:58,850 --> 00:09:59,070
that.
263
00:09:59,130 --> 00:10:01,510
Because, OK, I'm going to confess.
264
00:10:01,570 --> 00:10:02,970
When you said, I'm going to do a
265
00:10:02,970 --> 00:10:04,630
show, I thought, well, how many episodes?
266
00:10:04,630 --> 00:10:06,490
Because how many vegan restaurants do they have
267
00:10:06,490 --> 00:10:06,850
in Chicago?
268
00:10:07,050 --> 00:10:08,410
And I've been blown away.
269
00:10:08,590 --> 00:10:10,130
And over the course of this hour, you're
270
00:10:10,130 --> 00:10:11,490
going to see that they have an entire
271
00:10:11,490 --> 00:10:14,170
vegan, not just supermarket, like a mall.
272
00:10:14,550 --> 00:10:15,850
I mean, it's mind-blowing.
273
00:10:15,950 --> 00:10:17,750
And I didn't know about this till I
274
00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:18,850
saw Kale My Name.
275
00:10:18,970 --> 00:10:20,870
So watch it on Unchained TV.
276
00:10:21,290 --> 00:10:22,710
We've got more callers.
277
00:10:23,070 --> 00:10:26,230
Niloufar in Dallas, Texas, then followed by Tiffany.
278
00:10:26,370 --> 00:10:26,730
Niloufar.
279
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:29,640
Hi.
280
00:10:29,860 --> 00:10:32,320
In general, restaurants have a 60% to
281
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,020
80% failure rate.
282
00:10:34,020 --> 00:10:37,060
What inspired you to leave a very successful
283
00:10:37,060 --> 00:10:40,860
career in hospital management and to launch a
284
00:10:40,860 --> 00:10:44,520
potentially risky vegan restaurant?
285
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:46,640
Wow.
286
00:10:46,980 --> 00:10:49,520
I like your provocative questions.
287
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,940
OK, Nemanja, take it away.
288
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,500
We can't get away from the fact that
289
00:10:56,500 --> 00:10:57,740
this is very true.
290
00:10:57,860 --> 00:11:00,060
The restaurants are like one of the highest
291
00:11:00,060 --> 00:11:01,160
failing businesses.
292
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,160
And the majority of them fails only within
293
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,440
the first year because it's a rough business.
294
00:11:05,540 --> 00:11:07,220
And I think it's even rougher for the
295
00:11:07,220 --> 00:11:11,500
vegans because we are counting on that particular
296
00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:13,860
community and niche to come and support us.
297
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,660
But what I had in mind is creating
298
00:11:16,660 --> 00:11:19,000
the food that everyone's going to like.
299
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,040
So in the sense that I don't depend
300
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:21,660
on the vegans.
301
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,180
All you need to do is try.
302
00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:26,740
And I have a good way around convincing
303
00:11:26,740 --> 00:11:28,660
people just to try the food when I
304
00:11:28,660 --> 00:11:30,140
slip them a cauliflower wing.
305
00:11:30,140 --> 00:11:33,660
Then they are kill my name customer lifetime.
306
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,080
They don't even have to be vegan.
307
00:11:35,260 --> 00:11:36,140
They keep coming.
308
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,000
And honestly, like I gave it all in
309
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:40,280
this.
310
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,340
Like I entered with my entire heart.
311
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,980
And I think that's the reason why it's
312
00:11:44,980 --> 00:11:45,860
our fifth year.
313
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,640
We've been four and a half years in
314
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,460
Chicago and now in the two locations.
315
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,380
And I think the reason for that success
316
00:11:52,380 --> 00:11:54,320
is my passion for it.
317
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,060
I'm extremely passionate about veganism and also the
318
00:11:57,060 --> 00:11:58,760
food that is for everyone.
319
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,340
So that I don't have to count on
320
00:12:00,340 --> 00:12:02,160
vegans because sadly, like I'm going to be
321
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,280
honest with you, if only vegans aided kill
322
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,180
my name, we would not be able to
323
00:12:06,180 --> 00:12:09,840
live because there are many vegans, but it's
324
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,340
just not enough for every single day for
325
00:12:12,340 --> 00:12:14,840
us to put like 100 to 200 orders
326
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,160
out there, how much it's needed for us
327
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,140
to operate smoothly.
328
00:12:18,300 --> 00:12:22,580
So I feel like a good food, a
329
00:12:22,580 --> 00:12:25,040
passion, a hard work and a good team.
330
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:26,500
Absolutely.
331
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:27,020
Okay.
332
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,420
We've got more callers.
333
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,600
Tiffany in Los Angeles, your question or thought
334
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,080
for the Stars of Kale crew.
335
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:36,240
Yes.
336
00:12:36,340 --> 00:12:37,780
Good afternoon, Jane.
337
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,520
And I just discovered the show from Unchained
338
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,360
TV in the last couple of weeks.
339
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,460
And I've been obsessed.
340
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,680
I love both of your chemistry together.
341
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:48,920
And it just, I want to go to
342
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,080
Chicago and go to the vegan places.
343
00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:53,980
I was wondering, have you thought about taking
344
00:12:53,980 --> 00:12:55,620
it on the road, the show?
345
00:12:55,620 --> 00:12:57,040
I mean, I guess it would be expensive,
346
00:12:57,340 --> 00:12:59,860
but have you thought about visiting some other
347
00:12:59,860 --> 00:13:01,120
states or areas?
348
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:02,440
Wow.
349
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:03,160
Good question.
350
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,460
Tameka, you are a very successful social influencer
351
00:13:07,460 --> 00:13:10,080
and you're also a very busy lady, but
352
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:10,840
wow.
353
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,780
Since everybody's loving the show, what do you
354
00:13:12,780 --> 00:13:13,040
think?
355
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:16,020
I love hearing stuff like that so much.
356
00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:18,580
And not only have I thought about it,
357
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,140
like, like I just get grander plans.
358
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,460
Like I know that that is something that
359
00:13:23,460 --> 00:13:24,360
can totally happen.
360
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,280
So hopefully it'll be on Unchained TV and
361
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,100
then we can go all across the world.
362
00:13:29,220 --> 00:13:30,460
That would just be so awesome.
363
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,380
And your chemistry together, which a couple, several
364
00:13:34,380 --> 00:13:36,220
people have mentioned, is so amazing.
365
00:13:36,660 --> 00:13:38,840
You have, it's clear that you're having fun.
366
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:39,560
Yes.
367
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,160
When you have fun, the viewer has fun.
368
00:13:42,620 --> 00:13:45,680
So what, what is the secret to your
369
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:49,280
tantalising, adventurous chemistry, Tameka?
370
00:13:50,060 --> 00:13:51,720
We're just, we're friends.
371
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,600
Like Neiman invited me to like a Halloween
372
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,820
party at Kale My Name, a birthday party.
373
00:13:58,820 --> 00:14:00,480
And we just started hanging out more and
374
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:00,820
more.
375
00:14:01,340 --> 00:14:04,200
And I'm just like, he is hilarious to
376
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:04,360
me.
377
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:05,420
He cracks me up.
378
00:14:05,940 --> 00:14:08,380
If I'm feeling a little low energy being
379
00:14:08,380 --> 00:14:10,500
around Neiman, that's going to change in a
380
00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:10,980
hot second.
381
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,240
So I think that we just really bounce
382
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,720
off vibrancy off of each other.
383
00:14:16,820 --> 00:14:17,700
So it just works.
384
00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:20,240
And the show is so much fun to
385
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:20,540
watch.
386
00:14:20,540 --> 00:14:23,300
Again, Kale Crew streaming on Unchained TV.
387
00:14:23,860 --> 00:14:26,660
And literally I feel like I'm taking a
388
00:14:26,660 --> 00:14:31,020
flight to Chicago every time I watch another
389
00:14:31,020 --> 00:14:34,220
episode and learning all about these different neighbourhoods,
390
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,780
like the Glen and all sorts of Cicero.
391
00:14:38,260 --> 00:14:39,380
I had no idea.
392
00:14:39,580 --> 00:14:41,580
I've been, I was in Chicago once during
393
00:14:41,580 --> 00:14:44,660
a snowstorm for 24 hours and it's a
394
00:14:44,660 --> 00:14:44,900
blur.
395
00:14:45,260 --> 00:14:47,280
So thank you for turning us on to
396
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:48,840
the Midwest vegan scene.
397
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:49,720
All right.
398
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,880
We've got Michael followed by Michelle, followed by
399
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:53,240
Lindsey.
400
00:14:53,420 --> 00:14:54,740
Michael, your question or thought?
401
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,540
Oh, hey, thank you.
402
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,560
By the way, I love your guys' energy
403
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:00,060
together.
404
00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:01,160
It's really amazing.
405
00:15:02,060 --> 00:15:04,980
But my question basically is, what was the
406
00:15:04,980 --> 00:15:06,640
thing that made you go vegan in the
407
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:07,160
first place?
408
00:15:07,260 --> 00:15:09,040
Personally for me, I did it for the
409
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:09,440
animals.
410
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,560
But I love it when people go vegan
411
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,280
maybe for health or, you know, diet reasons,
412
00:15:15,420 --> 00:15:15,660
whatever.
413
00:15:15,660 --> 00:15:18,500
And then they become, you know, they realise
414
00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:21,280
the connection between animals and, you know, food.
415
00:15:21,820 --> 00:15:23,700
So I'd love to hear like, you know,
416
00:15:23,740 --> 00:15:25,220
just really shortly your journey.
417
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:26,420
I'm with you, Michael.
418
00:15:26,820 --> 00:15:27,560
Thank you.
419
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:28,740
I'm with you.
420
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:29,740
That was my reason.
421
00:15:30,260 --> 00:15:32,180
So Tamika can answer differently.
422
00:15:33,260 --> 00:15:33,620
Yeah.
423
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:35,640
Thank you for that.
424
00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:37,860
I initially started for health.
425
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,800
I battled with asthma and I watched What
426
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,260
the Health after, you know, dealing with doctor
427
00:15:44,260 --> 00:15:45,880
visits and inhalers.
428
00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:47,600
And I was in, like, I developed it
429
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,080
in my 20s and I was so confused
430
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,360
as to why that could be.
431
00:15:51,980 --> 00:15:53,940
So watching What the Health, it, you know,
432
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,240
it really focused on the health aspect of
433
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:56,860
that.
434
00:15:57,020 --> 00:15:58,820
So when I did do it, I said,
435
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,300
OK, I'm going to give it 30 days.
436
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,260
And within a week and a half, my
437
00:16:03,260 --> 00:16:04,620
asthma completely cleared up.
438
00:16:05,180 --> 00:16:07,220
And so I just I've been sticking with
439
00:16:07,220 --> 00:16:10,440
this lifestyle since 2019 solid.
440
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,380
And the way that it's just, again, transformed
441
00:16:14,380 --> 00:16:17,480
my entire quality of life and really heightened
442
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,600
my compassion for, you know, animals.
443
00:16:20,780 --> 00:16:23,280
So I always tell people, if you're like
444
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,120
on the fence about the lifestyle, if you
445
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,860
feel that nudge or that pull, definitely immerse
446
00:16:27,860 --> 00:16:31,100
yourselves in the in all of the documentaries
447
00:16:31,100 --> 00:16:32,660
that are available to us.
448
00:16:32,660 --> 00:16:35,540
So watching all the ones that are for
449
00:16:35,540 --> 00:16:38,260
health, but also that are about animal agriculture,
450
00:16:38,260 --> 00:16:41,400
because I truly know like when we know
451
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,720
better, we tend to do better.
452
00:16:42,940 --> 00:16:43,660
So thank you.
453
00:16:43,660 --> 00:16:45,000
I'm going to ask you a follow up.
454
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,540
We got a bunch of callers, but you're
455
00:16:46,540 --> 00:16:49,020
saying to me you were suffering from asthma.
456
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,240
Your life was miserable.
457
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:51,500
You were going to doctors.
458
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,180
They were giving you inhalers and you went
459
00:16:54,180 --> 00:16:57,180
vegan after watching What the Health and boom,
460
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,200
your asthma went away.
461
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,780
You want to know what's crazy, Jane, is
462
00:17:01,780 --> 00:17:04,720
I remember being in in my car and
463
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:05,880
I had an asthma attack.
464
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:10,200
And this was when I was first experiencing
465
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,480
asthmatic types of symptoms.
466
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,440
And I had an asthma attack in my
467
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,180
car literally out of nowhere.
468
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,619
There was no warning for it.
469
00:17:17,660 --> 00:17:20,160
And I honestly, honestly thought I was going
470
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:20,640
to die.
471
00:17:20,980 --> 00:17:24,119
I thought, OK, should I pull into a
472
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,960
pharmacy and just ask for an inhaler?
473
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,800
And just thank goodness, it just ended up
474
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,860
dissipating and passing on its own.
475
00:17:32,140 --> 00:17:33,880
But that was definitely a wake up call
476
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:34,260
for me.
477
00:17:34,260 --> 00:17:36,100
So that's when I got on my laptop
478
00:17:36,100 --> 00:17:38,640
the next day and I was like, I
479
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,620
have to figure out a natural way to
480
00:17:40,620 --> 00:17:42,780
cure this because this cannot be my this
481
00:17:42,780 --> 00:17:44,140
cannot be my quality of life.
482
00:17:44,980 --> 00:17:45,260
Wow.
483
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,780
And so it's that's truly, though, like an
484
00:17:49,780 --> 00:17:51,020
endorsement of veganism.
485
00:17:51,100 --> 00:17:53,260
And I hear these stories all the time.
486
00:17:53,260 --> 00:17:55,440
And yet you go to doctors and hey,
487
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:56,760
I'm a believer in doctors.
488
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:57,820
I go every year.
489
00:17:58,020 --> 00:18:01,100
I you know, but this you know, I've
490
00:18:01,100 --> 00:18:03,200
been given an inhaler, actually, because when I
491
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,500
was living in Manhattan, it was such smog.
492
00:18:06,820 --> 00:18:09,060
And I realised I don't need this.
493
00:18:09,140 --> 00:18:10,160
I don't need this.
494
00:18:10,580 --> 00:18:11,420
It's amazing.
495
00:18:11,780 --> 00:18:14,120
So let's go to the rest of our
496
00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:14,700
callers.
497
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,820
We've got so many more clips to play
498
00:18:16,820 --> 00:18:17,700
for you guys.
499
00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:22,120
OK, we got Michelle in Los Angeles.
500
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,080
Your question or thought for the Stars of
501
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:24,720
Kale crew.
502
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,780
Hi, you two fabulous people.
503
00:18:28,780 --> 00:18:33,380
Your show and you two are so enthusiastic
504
00:18:33,380 --> 00:18:35,640
and passionate and it's so genuine.
505
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:36,660
It comes across.
506
00:18:36,780 --> 00:18:38,040
I wanted to thank you for that.
507
00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:40,220
I want to know, how do you pick
508
00:18:40,220 --> 00:18:40,980
your restaurants?
509
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,220
And specifically, each of you, what are your
510
00:18:44,220 --> 00:18:46,320
favourite foods that are vegan?
511
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,500
And which do you think tastes the most
512
00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:50,660
like the regular meat foods?
513
00:18:51,460 --> 00:18:52,900
Oh, Nemanja, you want to hit it?
514
00:18:53,260 --> 00:18:53,780
Yes.
515
00:18:53,780 --> 00:18:56,700
One thing that we have to agree on
516
00:18:56,700 --> 00:18:58,840
when we are picking a restaurant, we both
517
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,200
have to like it, OK, which is not
518
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,060
a hard thing because we are food lovers
519
00:19:03,060 --> 00:19:05,060
and like we love a lot of food.
520
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,460
And honestly, some of the places we went
521
00:19:07,460 --> 00:19:09,320
to are like mutual favourites.
522
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:15,020
Lately, lately for me, I've been more into
523
00:19:15,020 --> 00:19:17,940
like health food and I really love to
524
00:19:17,940 --> 00:19:21,300
explore like eating mostly food that it's fully
525
00:19:21,300 --> 00:19:22,760
focused on a plant.
526
00:19:23,940 --> 00:19:26,980
Rather than the mimic of a meat, I
527
00:19:26,980 --> 00:19:28,960
mentioned I went vegan for the animals now
528
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,020
that I didn't like meat.
529
00:19:30,100 --> 00:19:30,760
I loved it.
530
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,880
So meat substitutes were great for me.
531
00:19:33,660 --> 00:19:36,920
But lately, I just been really into that.
532
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,580
And right now we are seeing that broccoli
533
00:19:39,580 --> 00:19:41,920
situation that was like so good.
534
00:19:42,420 --> 00:19:44,320
And that's how we how we decide.
535
00:19:44,460 --> 00:19:45,680
We both have to like it.
536
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,160
And then it has to have something that
537
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,060
we just love on the menu.
538
00:19:50,060 --> 00:19:55,180
And the herbivore next door is putting out
539
00:19:55,180 --> 00:19:56,680
some of the episodes.
540
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:02,640
You can go to watch.UnchainedTV.com and
541
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,700
you can see all the episodes or you
542
00:20:04,700 --> 00:20:09,400
can just go to UnchainedTV.com and just
543
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:16,240
literally just click on UnchainedTV.com.
544
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,480
There's a button that says streaming and all
545
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,900
the episodes pop right on.
546
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:21,800
It's so easy.
547
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,060
Everything is free.
548
00:20:23,300 --> 00:20:24,440
We do not charge.
549
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,940
We are a 501c3 nonprofit.
550
00:20:27,500 --> 00:20:29,880
Our sole aim is to get people to
551
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,560
watch this content so they can see that
552
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,820
going plant-based is an adventure.
553
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,120
We're a happy group.
554
00:20:36,580 --> 00:20:37,740
We're not a glum lot.
555
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,840
Man, we are having a good time.
556
00:20:39,940 --> 00:20:42,400
I mean, one of my biggest challenges is
557
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,320
can I go to all these parties?
558
00:20:44,500 --> 00:20:46,000
Can I go to all these restaurants?
559
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,260
Can I experience all this fun stuff?
560
00:20:48,540 --> 00:20:50,260
There's only 24 hours in the day.
561
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,220
Okay, Lindsay and Tarzana, your question or thought
562
00:20:54,220 --> 00:20:57,660
for the stars of Kale Crew on UnchainedTV.
563
00:20:59,510 --> 00:21:03,210
I'm just so excited to hear that Chicago
564
00:21:03,210 --> 00:21:06,690
has such a large vegan community because like
565
00:21:06,690 --> 00:21:10,310
Jane, I was there many years ago and
566
00:21:10,310 --> 00:21:14,390
there was like nowhere to eat, but it's
567
00:21:14,390 --> 00:21:14,850
wonderful.
568
00:21:14,850 --> 00:21:17,370
And I just wonder if you have any
569
00:21:17,370 --> 00:21:22,030
advice for people just turning vegan in terms
570
00:21:22,030 --> 00:21:24,330
of, you know, how do they do it
571
00:21:24,330 --> 00:21:24,930
at home?
572
00:21:25,070 --> 00:21:27,610
Like, do you have some easy or some
573
00:21:27,610 --> 00:21:30,090
advice of how to find easy recipes they
574
00:21:30,090 --> 00:21:31,590
can do when they first start out?
575
00:21:32,190 --> 00:21:33,210
Thank you.
576
00:21:33,230 --> 00:21:35,990
I have perfect advice for that because like,
577
00:21:36,130 --> 00:21:38,430
as I just previously mentioned, like I went
578
00:21:38,430 --> 00:21:40,470
vegan for the animals, so like I wanted
579
00:21:40,470 --> 00:21:41,230
all the foods.
580
00:21:41,230 --> 00:21:43,390
So I think the most beautiful advice for
581
00:21:43,390 --> 00:21:45,850
everyone going vegan is to try to eat
582
00:21:45,850 --> 00:21:48,690
the same foods that they normally eat, but
583
00:21:48,690 --> 00:21:49,690
just the vegan version.
584
00:21:50,030 --> 00:21:52,650
There is now available vegan version of everything.
585
00:21:53,170 --> 00:21:55,630
I cannot think of the foods that you
586
00:21:55,630 --> 00:21:56,570
cannot make vegan.
587
00:21:56,810 --> 00:21:58,590
So what do you normally eat?
588
00:21:58,630 --> 00:21:59,270
It's the best.
589
00:21:59,350 --> 00:22:00,390
That's how I started.
590
00:22:00,530 --> 00:22:02,310
And later on, I learned to love some
591
00:22:02,310 --> 00:22:02,630
things.
592
00:22:02,730 --> 00:22:05,030
Like I just, my love for plants increased
593
00:22:05,030 --> 00:22:05,710
over time.
594
00:22:05,710 --> 00:22:08,270
Like I remember I didn't like tomato.
595
00:22:08,270 --> 00:22:10,270
Like now I'm eating tomato as if it
596
00:22:10,270 --> 00:22:12,210
was apple, just like, just like that.
597
00:22:12,350 --> 00:22:14,850
So I think that's the best way to
598
00:22:14,850 --> 00:22:17,330
start what you would normally eat as a
599
00:22:17,330 --> 00:22:19,430
non-vegan, but try to make that as
600
00:22:19,430 --> 00:22:19,970
a vegan version.
601
00:22:20,070 --> 00:22:21,950
When it comes to recipes, there's so many
602
00:22:21,950 --> 00:22:22,330
available.
603
00:22:22,590 --> 00:22:26,650
There's so many books, internet, luckily in 2024,
604
00:22:26,910 --> 00:22:27,590
it's so accessible.
605
00:22:27,750 --> 00:22:30,190
You can find a free recipe for everything.
606
00:22:30,690 --> 00:22:32,830
So I would start, I would start that
607
00:22:32,830 --> 00:22:33,110
way.
608
00:22:33,530 --> 00:22:33,970
Okay.
609
00:22:33,970 --> 00:22:37,790
I would start at unchainedtv.com, where we
610
00:22:37,790 --> 00:22:40,310
have thousands of recipes and we have a
611
00:22:40,310 --> 00:22:42,810
video that explains each and every recipe.
612
00:22:43,070 --> 00:22:44,910
And then you have the entire recipe.
613
00:22:45,170 --> 00:22:47,450
So I just put up a category called
614
00:22:47,450 --> 00:22:47,790
desserts.
615
00:22:48,090 --> 00:22:50,030
I woke up and I go, you know,
616
00:22:50,270 --> 00:22:51,050
I love desserts.
617
00:22:51,270 --> 00:22:53,110
Why the hell don't I have a category
618
00:22:53,110 --> 00:22:54,590
that just takes us to vegan desserts?
619
00:22:54,790 --> 00:22:57,050
So lickety split, I put up a category
620
00:22:57,050 --> 00:23:00,130
and I'm telling you these desserts, I look
621
00:23:00,130 --> 00:23:01,450
at, I look at the images and I'm
622
00:23:01,450 --> 00:23:02,710
like, I want to make it right now.
623
00:23:02,710 --> 00:23:03,530
And they're healthy.
624
00:23:03,890 --> 00:23:05,930
Like we have Chef AJ, we have, she
625
00:23:05,930 --> 00:23:09,490
does incredible desserts without any sugar.
626
00:23:09,630 --> 00:23:10,350
She uses dates.
627
00:23:10,350 --> 00:23:11,010
I love that.
628
00:23:11,390 --> 00:23:12,650
It's absolutely amazing.
629
00:23:13,110 --> 00:23:15,430
Well, this is just so fun.
630
00:23:15,710 --> 00:23:19,770
I want to ask you about Chicago, but
631
00:23:19,770 --> 00:23:22,350
first what I'd like to do is play
632
00:23:22,350 --> 00:23:23,510
another clip.
633
00:23:23,850 --> 00:23:26,710
And this is a clip of Plant X.
634
00:23:26,710 --> 00:23:30,130
I was not aware that there was a
635
00:23:30,130 --> 00:23:34,990
vegan, literally shopping centre in Chicago.
636
00:23:35,290 --> 00:23:37,390
And I only found out when I was
637
00:23:37,390 --> 00:23:40,910
watching your show on Unchained TV.
638
00:23:41,190 --> 00:23:44,070
Did you know Chicago has entirely vegan food
639
00:23:44,070 --> 00:23:47,170
hall with six vegan restaurants inside, grocery store
640
00:23:47,170 --> 00:23:47,930
and vegan bar?
641
00:23:48,250 --> 00:23:50,250
Well, you're about to find out.
642
00:23:50,290 --> 00:23:52,010
I'm feeling like these Los Tamales.
643
00:23:52,190 --> 00:23:52,770
Tamales.
644
00:23:52,950 --> 00:23:55,850
And I think I am feeling Los Tacos.
645
00:23:55,850 --> 00:23:59,090
And now we are in front of the
646
00:23:59,090 --> 00:23:59,590
Bodega.
647
00:23:59,910 --> 00:24:00,250
Yes.
648
00:24:00,290 --> 00:24:01,390
That's a new word for me.
649
00:24:01,670 --> 00:24:02,110
Bodega.
650
00:24:02,390 --> 00:24:04,010
I didn't know what that meant, but explain
651
00:24:04,010 --> 00:24:04,510
to me.
652
00:24:04,790 --> 00:24:07,010
It's kind of a smaller version of a
653
00:24:07,010 --> 00:24:07,590
grocery store.
654
00:24:07,670 --> 00:24:07,830
Yes.
655
00:24:07,830 --> 00:24:08,350
Which one you got?
656
00:24:08,470 --> 00:24:10,090
I get the Herbed Feta and then I
657
00:24:10,090 --> 00:24:11,270
will make it with chickpea pasta.
658
00:24:11,410 --> 00:24:12,610
And then I just melt it in with
659
00:24:12,610 --> 00:24:15,190
the pasta and it's easy breezy and it's
660
00:24:15,190 --> 00:24:15,770
tantalising.
661
00:24:17,210 --> 00:24:18,090
Oh my gosh.
662
00:24:18,210 --> 00:24:19,970
Easy breezy and tantalising.
663
00:24:21,990 --> 00:24:24,050
I want to say, first of all, I'm
664
00:24:24,050 --> 00:24:25,330
a huge fan of Plant X.
665
00:24:25,670 --> 00:24:29,070
There is a Plant X market here in
666
00:24:29,070 --> 00:24:31,510
Venice, California, where I live.
667
00:24:31,650 --> 00:24:34,050
And I go there all the time and
668
00:24:34,050 --> 00:24:35,350
it's absolutely fabulous.
669
00:24:35,910 --> 00:24:38,910
Like I go in, I always find something
670
00:24:38,910 --> 00:24:39,310
incredible.
671
00:24:39,470 --> 00:24:41,390
They have all the latest vegan products.
672
00:24:42,050 --> 00:24:43,350
So, wow.
673
00:24:44,590 --> 00:24:47,730
Where is Chicago when it comes to the
674
00:24:47,730 --> 00:24:48,770
big vegan cities?
675
00:24:48,770 --> 00:24:53,170
You deserve more respect, my friends, in Chicago.
676
00:24:53,930 --> 00:24:54,290
I agree.
677
00:24:54,710 --> 00:24:57,030
Tell me about that, Tamika, because people talk
678
00:24:57,030 --> 00:24:59,150
about LA, New York, Berlin, and London.
679
00:25:00,010 --> 00:25:03,290
Well, I just, in my opinion, Chicago is
680
00:25:03,290 --> 00:25:05,410
one of those cities that is a food
681
00:25:05,410 --> 00:25:05,750
city.
682
00:25:05,970 --> 00:25:07,210
Everybody knows it.
683
00:25:07,590 --> 00:25:10,210
So, like, it's really an honour to be
684
00:25:10,210 --> 00:25:14,530
able to help make that also true for
685
00:25:14,530 --> 00:25:15,390
vegan food.
686
00:25:15,390 --> 00:25:19,010
So, there's this, I'm telling you, I still
687
00:25:19,010 --> 00:25:20,710
have not been to a bunch of places.
688
00:25:21,210 --> 00:25:24,570
I was just, like, researching places and, like,
689
00:25:24,670 --> 00:25:25,570
bookmarking places.
690
00:25:25,570 --> 00:25:26,990
Like, I have to go check this out.
691
00:25:27,030 --> 00:25:28,470
I have to go check this out because
692
00:25:28,470 --> 00:25:29,670
there's that many options.
693
00:25:29,770 --> 00:25:31,610
And people are, like, the restaurant owners are
694
00:25:31,610 --> 00:25:33,570
consistently seeing the value.
695
00:25:33,870 --> 00:25:35,690
They're starting to see the value in the
696
00:25:35,690 --> 00:25:36,290
vegan market.
697
00:25:36,730 --> 00:25:39,190
And that even if you're not vegan, that
698
00:25:39,190 --> 00:25:40,930
you may still want to dabble in it.
699
00:25:40,970 --> 00:25:43,490
You may be plant-based or part of
700
00:25:43,490 --> 00:25:45,130
the time plant-based or something like that.
701
00:25:45,130 --> 00:25:46,690
Or you just may be plant-forward.
702
00:25:47,070 --> 00:25:51,070
So, it's definitely an awesome thing to have
703
00:25:51,070 --> 00:25:54,070
a more inclusive menu to allow a separate
704
00:25:54,070 --> 00:25:54,690
vegan menu.
705
00:25:54,830 --> 00:25:56,730
And I just love sharing it.
706
00:25:57,210 --> 00:25:59,690
And Karen LaCava says she's excited to visit
707
00:25:59,690 --> 00:26:00,270
Chicago.
708
00:26:00,550 --> 00:26:02,990
Karen, who's a friend of mine, the two
709
00:26:02,990 --> 00:26:05,250
of us should go to Chicago and explore
710
00:26:05,250 --> 00:26:07,190
this incredible Chicago vegan scene.
711
00:26:07,390 --> 00:26:08,910
That's what made me want to do it.
712
00:26:09,110 --> 00:26:10,550
Your show makes me want to hop on
713
00:26:10,550 --> 00:26:12,790
a flight and go to all these incredible
714
00:26:12,790 --> 00:26:13,430
places.
715
00:26:14,090 --> 00:26:18,850
What has the reaction been to the show
716
00:26:18,850 --> 00:26:20,510
in Chicago, Nemanja?
717
00:26:21,930 --> 00:26:24,590
I have to mention the Plan X Market
718
00:26:24,590 --> 00:26:26,790
first since I don't think I responded to
719
00:26:26,790 --> 00:26:26,930
that.
720
00:26:27,090 --> 00:26:31,410
I just love, like, how community is coming
721
00:26:31,410 --> 00:26:33,730
to hang out because there's so many events.
722
00:26:33,790 --> 00:26:35,150
It's really a lot of space.
723
00:26:35,510 --> 00:26:38,550
So, besides, like, being just about food, there
724
00:26:38,550 --> 00:26:39,830
are a lot of fundraisers.
725
00:26:40,370 --> 00:26:41,510
There's a farmer's market.
726
00:26:41,510 --> 00:26:43,510
There are people who are not even part
727
00:26:43,510 --> 00:26:45,750
of the Plan X Market that they're coming
728
00:26:45,750 --> 00:26:46,950
on a Saturday and Sunday.
729
00:26:47,110 --> 00:26:48,730
And they're able to set up, like, a
730
00:26:48,730 --> 00:26:51,270
little stand and, like, sell their products, engage
731
00:26:51,270 --> 00:26:51,990
with the community.
732
00:26:52,510 --> 00:26:54,590
Like, we just had a sanctuary that we
733
00:26:54,590 --> 00:26:55,710
were raising money for.
734
00:26:55,830 --> 00:26:57,350
So, I really love being a part of
735
00:26:57,350 --> 00:26:57,990
the Plan X Market.
736
00:26:58,310 --> 00:27:00,250
And it's going to almost be a one
737
00:27:00,250 --> 00:27:01,370
-year anniversary over there.
738
00:27:01,410 --> 00:27:02,570
I'm very excited about that.
739
00:27:03,570 --> 00:27:06,390
Now, to answer how Chicago reacted to our
740
00:27:06,390 --> 00:27:06,610
show.
741
00:27:06,870 --> 00:27:09,070
Well, I really think Chicagoans are proud of
742
00:27:09,070 --> 00:27:09,390
us.
743
00:27:09,390 --> 00:27:11,670
And you hear people want to travel to
744
00:27:11,670 --> 00:27:12,930
Chicago because of us.
745
00:27:13,050 --> 00:27:15,470
We bring tourism to the city, baby.
746
00:27:15,970 --> 00:27:20,110
So, I really think the reactions have been
747
00:27:20,110 --> 00:27:20,610
amazing.
748
00:27:21,030 --> 00:27:22,890
People are excited about the new episode.
749
00:27:23,130 --> 00:27:26,050
Every time we pause, somebody, like, engages with
750
00:27:26,050 --> 00:27:27,650
it and even say, like, we cannot wait
751
00:27:27,650 --> 00:27:28,510
for the next one.
752
00:27:28,990 --> 00:27:31,710
So, I think response from Chicago was great.
753
00:27:31,790 --> 00:27:34,310
But, like, what makes me even happier is
754
00:27:34,310 --> 00:27:37,010
that there are people even outside of Chicago
755
00:27:37,010 --> 00:27:37,950
watching the show.
756
00:27:37,950 --> 00:27:39,970
Which it is, was an ultimate goal of
757
00:27:39,970 --> 00:27:40,130
it.
758
00:27:40,190 --> 00:27:41,830
But it makes me really happy that it's,
759
00:27:41,970 --> 00:27:44,610
like, not just Chicago viewers, but seems, like,
760
00:27:44,870 --> 00:27:45,490
from everywhere.
761
00:27:45,710 --> 00:27:48,070
Like, look at California calling us today.
762
00:27:48,130 --> 00:27:48,810
So, I love that.
763
00:27:49,150 --> 00:27:49,630
Yes.
764
00:27:49,830 --> 00:27:52,870
You know, to me, what's really important is
765
00:27:52,870 --> 00:27:57,630
that there are industries and there are people
766
00:27:57,630 --> 00:28:00,210
who are out to kill the plant-based
767
00:28:00,210 --> 00:28:00,530
movement.
768
00:28:00,530 --> 00:28:03,030
And, you know, The Guardian just did an
769
00:28:03,030 --> 00:28:07,890
article saying the meat industry has, like, a
770
00:28:07,890 --> 00:28:11,910
giant facility in Denver, Colorado that is churning
771
00:28:11,910 --> 00:28:13,870
out all sorts of negative stuff.
772
00:28:14,230 --> 00:28:17,930
Oh, meat processed, you know, vegans, vegan meat
773
00:28:17,930 --> 00:28:18,950
alternatives are processed.
774
00:28:19,590 --> 00:28:23,130
They don't mention that processed meat from animals
775
00:28:23,130 --> 00:28:24,950
is officially cancer-causing.
776
00:28:25,370 --> 00:28:27,810
According to the World Health Organisation, it is
777
00:28:27,810 --> 00:28:28,790
a carcinogen.
778
00:28:28,790 --> 00:28:31,370
And red meat is a likely carcinogen.
779
00:28:31,730 --> 00:28:34,730
So, I urge everybody to be very careful
780
00:28:34,730 --> 00:28:37,270
because the news media, which I was in
781
00:28:37,270 --> 00:28:39,830
for more than 30 years, they take things
782
00:28:39,830 --> 00:28:41,990
and they reprint them and they don't really
783
00:28:41,990 --> 00:28:43,030
do a deep dive.
784
00:28:43,490 --> 00:28:47,070
And, unfortunately, there's been some success with that.
785
00:28:47,410 --> 00:28:49,430
Now, let me just say this.
786
00:28:49,970 --> 00:28:53,690
We didn't create veggie burgers and, you know,
787
00:28:53,810 --> 00:28:55,990
vegan chicken wings mostly for vegans.
788
00:28:55,990 --> 00:28:58,430
We created it for meat eaters who said,
789
00:28:58,610 --> 00:29:00,250
I could never give up chicken wings.
790
00:29:00,390 --> 00:29:02,010
I could never give up my burgers.
791
00:29:02,330 --> 00:29:03,850
I could never give up my cheese.
792
00:29:04,230 --> 00:29:06,170
So, then we say, okay, hold on a
793
00:29:06,170 --> 00:29:06,410
second.
794
00:29:06,810 --> 00:29:08,790
We're going to create alternatives for you.
795
00:29:08,950 --> 00:29:10,070
And then they turn around and they go,
796
00:29:10,150 --> 00:29:10,870
well, that's processed.
797
00:29:11,350 --> 00:29:12,030
Well, guess what?
798
00:29:12,310 --> 00:29:14,550
Mother Nature has always been providing fruits, vegetables,
799
00:29:14,710 --> 00:29:15,730
nuts, grains, and legumes.
800
00:29:15,990 --> 00:29:17,510
You always have that option.
801
00:29:17,990 --> 00:29:19,730
And I also try to eat whole food
802
00:29:19,730 --> 00:29:20,330
plant-based.
803
00:29:20,810 --> 00:29:22,590
I have fruits and vegetables.
804
00:29:22,590 --> 00:29:24,430
Actually, it started during the pandemic, but I
805
00:29:24,430 --> 00:29:27,070
keep it going because it encourages me to
806
00:29:27,070 --> 00:29:27,650
eat that way.
807
00:29:27,750 --> 00:29:29,110
I have them delivered to my house once
808
00:29:29,110 --> 00:29:29,470
a week.
809
00:29:29,730 --> 00:29:31,170
It actually saves me money, too.
810
00:29:31,550 --> 00:29:35,170
So, let's throw out this old canard about
811
00:29:35,170 --> 00:29:36,610
being vegan is more expensive.
812
00:29:37,070 --> 00:29:38,130
You know, you can get a sack of
813
00:29:38,130 --> 00:29:40,670
brown rice, a sack of black beans, and
814
00:29:40,670 --> 00:29:42,310
some potatoes and live for a month.
815
00:29:42,750 --> 00:29:42,990
Okay?
816
00:29:43,210 --> 00:29:45,650
So, there's a lot of false stuff that's
817
00:29:45,650 --> 00:29:48,690
put out there by industries that are profiting
818
00:29:48,690 --> 00:29:51,030
from people eating animals and getting sick.
819
00:29:51,030 --> 00:29:53,650
Heart disease, cancer, all sorts of things.
820
00:29:54,070 --> 00:29:56,690
So, for me, what's so important about this
821
00:29:56,690 --> 00:29:58,570
show and one of the reasons I'm so
822
00:29:58,570 --> 00:30:01,550
excited about Kale Crew, our new series on
823
00:30:01,550 --> 00:30:03,710
Unchained TV, if you're just joining us and
824
00:30:03,710 --> 00:30:06,430
you can go to unchainedtv.com and just
825
00:30:06,430 --> 00:30:08,130
click on streaming and it's right there.
826
00:30:08,630 --> 00:30:10,090
We've already got five episodes.
827
00:30:10,210 --> 00:30:11,150
The sixth is coming in.
828
00:30:11,750 --> 00:30:13,810
I'm excited because it shows that this is
829
00:30:13,810 --> 00:30:17,650
a grassroots movement that is the entire United
830
00:30:17,650 --> 00:30:17,990
States.
831
00:30:18,070 --> 00:30:19,750
In fact, the entire world.
832
00:30:19,750 --> 00:30:22,370
It's not just the way they try to
833
00:30:22,370 --> 00:30:25,690
make it like a bunch of super cool,
834
00:30:25,850 --> 00:30:28,450
you know, hippie-dippies in Venice.
835
00:30:30,630 --> 00:30:32,390
But it's not just me.
836
00:30:32,770 --> 00:30:33,270
I'm kidding.
837
00:30:33,670 --> 00:30:35,450
I'm not super cool, but I do live
838
00:30:35,450 --> 00:30:35,770
in Venice.
839
00:30:36,110 --> 00:30:39,510
So, the point is that this really, the
840
00:30:39,510 --> 00:30:42,930
power of the Kale Crew show and this
841
00:30:42,930 --> 00:30:46,490
series, this shows that this is happening across
842
00:30:46,490 --> 00:30:49,810
America and in communities of colour.
843
00:30:50,790 --> 00:30:53,210
African-Americans, correct me if I'm wrong, Tamika,
844
00:30:53,330 --> 00:30:57,110
are the fastest growing demographic switching to vegan.
845
00:30:57,290 --> 00:30:57,890
80%.
846
00:30:57,890 --> 00:30:58,970
80%.
847
00:30:59,730 --> 00:31:00,330
What?
848
00:31:00,870 --> 00:31:04,310
80% of African-Americans in the United
849
00:31:04,310 --> 00:31:05,210
States are vegan.
850
00:31:05,550 --> 00:31:07,890
So, I get those demographics all the time
851
00:31:07,890 --> 00:31:09,510
because I'm in the restaurant industry, so I
852
00:31:09,510 --> 00:31:10,010
want to know.
853
00:31:10,010 --> 00:31:13,690
And that's amazing and I love that.
854
00:31:14,070 --> 00:31:17,610
So, Tamika, you know, in your series, you're
855
00:31:17,610 --> 00:31:20,790
emphasising a lot of entrepreneurs, owners of vegan
856
00:31:20,790 --> 00:31:22,530
restaurants that happen to be African-American.
857
00:31:23,150 --> 00:31:23,690
Yes.
858
00:31:24,150 --> 00:31:26,290
It's very personal and near and dear to
859
00:31:26,290 --> 00:31:29,110
my heart because before becoming Plant Based Tamika,
860
00:31:29,670 --> 00:31:32,870
I've, you know, had storefronts with my boutique
861
00:31:32,870 --> 00:31:33,710
standout style.
862
00:31:33,710 --> 00:31:36,690
So, I understand, like, how it can feel
863
00:31:36,690 --> 00:31:38,710
or how it can be when it's slow
864
00:31:38,710 --> 00:31:40,870
or if people don't know that you're there
865
00:31:40,870 --> 00:31:41,890
and things like that.
866
00:31:42,410 --> 00:31:44,410
And just, I just wanted to show people
867
00:31:44,410 --> 00:31:46,310
that look like me that, hey, this is
868
00:31:46,310 --> 00:31:48,970
not something that is not for us, too.
869
00:31:49,250 --> 00:31:51,030
Like, we can, you know, we all can
870
00:31:51,030 --> 00:31:52,870
eat vegetables and we can all thrive and
871
00:31:52,870 --> 00:31:56,850
we can all just be healthy and also
872
00:31:56,850 --> 00:31:58,810
help save the animals, too, along with it.
873
00:31:58,810 --> 00:32:00,430
All right.
874
00:32:00,530 --> 00:32:04,770
We've got yet another caller, Karen, in infamous
875
00:32:04,770 --> 00:32:06,170
Venice, California.
876
00:32:07,150 --> 00:32:09,110
Karen, what is your question or thought?
877
00:32:10,550 --> 00:32:11,470
Hi, you guys.
878
00:32:11,570 --> 00:32:14,090
First of all, I love your energy and
879
00:32:14,090 --> 00:32:15,930
I love vegan soul food.
880
00:32:16,030 --> 00:32:16,930
It's awesome.
881
00:32:17,430 --> 00:32:20,590
So, I'm a vegan chef and I do
882
00:32:20,590 --> 00:32:21,510
a lot of parties.
883
00:32:21,510 --> 00:32:24,850
And I'm wondering, what are your favourite vegan
884
00:32:24,850 --> 00:32:27,190
party foods that you like to eat when
885
00:32:27,190 --> 00:32:28,850
you're at parties and that you like to
886
00:32:28,850 --> 00:32:29,710
make for parties?
887
00:32:31,290 --> 00:32:33,190
Well, I can chime in on that.
888
00:32:33,770 --> 00:32:36,390
I would say my favourite thing to make
889
00:32:36,390 --> 00:32:38,950
and that has been a consistent hit for
890
00:32:38,950 --> 00:32:40,110
any time I'm entertaining.
891
00:32:40,750 --> 00:32:43,150
It's on my website, too.
892
00:32:43,330 --> 00:32:46,290
It's basically the veggie loaded hummus flatbread.
893
00:32:46,990 --> 00:32:49,610
No one really realises that it doesn't involve
894
00:32:49,610 --> 00:32:51,470
cheese and it doesn't involve any meat.
895
00:32:51,650 --> 00:32:54,810
And they're just all, like, tantalised by all
896
00:32:54,810 --> 00:32:57,170
of the flavours of the veggies that are
897
00:32:57,170 --> 00:32:59,830
roasted, seasoned, and then the flavorful hummus on
898
00:32:59,830 --> 00:33:00,230
there, too.
899
00:33:00,330 --> 00:33:02,710
So, just cut those up into little squares.
900
00:33:02,930 --> 00:33:04,370
And to me, that's just like a very
901
00:33:04,370 --> 00:33:08,650
vibrant, easy kind of plate that's also somewhat
902
00:33:08,650 --> 00:33:09,350
filling, too.
903
00:33:09,610 --> 00:33:11,050
So, that's kind of like my go-to
904
00:33:11,050 --> 00:33:12,050
thing when I'm entertaining.
905
00:33:12,050 --> 00:33:14,570
But when I'm at parties, like, look, I'm
906
00:33:14,570 --> 00:33:16,150
not going to pretend.
907
00:33:16,330 --> 00:33:17,930
Like, my absolute favourite food is pizza.
908
00:33:18,490 --> 00:33:19,290
Sushi comes next.
909
00:33:19,330 --> 00:33:21,270
So, if those two types of items are
910
00:33:21,270 --> 00:33:22,350
there, I'm a happy girl.
911
00:33:23,090 --> 00:33:25,290
And I love the fact that you guys
912
00:33:25,290 --> 00:33:27,330
coordinate your outfits, clearly.
913
00:33:27,730 --> 00:33:29,810
And it just started happening like that, Jane.
914
00:33:29,870 --> 00:33:32,090
We didn't even do it like it just
915
00:33:32,090 --> 00:33:32,790
started happening.
916
00:33:33,830 --> 00:33:35,370
I love this outfit.
917
00:33:35,490 --> 00:33:39,190
And this is Alice and Friends you visited.
918
00:33:39,190 --> 00:33:42,170
Now, this is a very, I would say,
919
00:33:42,270 --> 00:33:43,490
gourmet cuisine.
920
00:33:44,210 --> 00:33:46,710
Tell us a little bit about the variety
921
00:33:46,710 --> 00:33:48,170
in the cuisine.
922
00:33:48,290 --> 00:33:49,990
Because we're going to cover one that does
923
00:33:49,990 --> 00:33:51,410
more fast food alternatives.
924
00:33:51,830 --> 00:33:56,090
But this is just really gourmet, Asian-themed
925
00:33:56,090 --> 00:33:56,450
cuisine.
926
00:33:56,610 --> 00:33:57,410
Correct, Nemanja?
927
00:33:57,910 --> 00:33:59,190
That is correct, yeah.
928
00:33:59,370 --> 00:34:01,710
And that's when we knew we want to
929
00:34:01,710 --> 00:34:02,110
do it.
930
00:34:02,150 --> 00:34:03,730
Because it is so fun.
931
00:34:03,850 --> 00:34:04,870
The food is so good.
932
00:34:05,010 --> 00:34:06,910
Samika and I both personally love it.
933
00:34:06,910 --> 00:34:08,650
I've been a customer of Alice and Friends
934
00:34:08,650 --> 00:34:10,230
for a really, really long time.
935
00:34:10,330 --> 00:34:12,770
We are even friends with Omar Moon, who's
936
00:34:12,770 --> 00:34:13,389
been incredible.
937
00:34:13,610 --> 00:34:17,870
That's a general manager of their kitchen that
938
00:34:17,870 --> 00:34:19,929
creates a lot of recipes and just does
939
00:34:19,929 --> 00:34:22,070
incredible, incredible things.
940
00:34:22,330 --> 00:34:25,350
Like, I honestly said, like, I know it's
941
00:34:25,350 --> 00:34:26,290
a big of a statement.
942
00:34:26,290 --> 00:34:28,449
But I think they made the best mac
943
00:34:28,449 --> 00:34:29,310
and cheese in the world.
944
00:34:29,429 --> 00:34:31,290
Vegan or not, it's just simply the best
945
00:34:31,290 --> 00:34:32,750
mac and cheese in the world.
946
00:34:32,889 --> 00:34:33,830
Like, it's so good.
947
00:34:34,150 --> 00:34:35,230
Everybody got to try it.
948
00:34:35,230 --> 00:34:37,330
And I think their secret is, like, after
949
00:34:37,330 --> 00:34:41,610
the macaroni are boiled, they're going in a
950
00:34:41,610 --> 00:34:42,489
pan on a grill.
951
00:34:42,870 --> 00:34:44,510
And, like, I don't know, that does some
952
00:34:44,510 --> 00:34:45,389
miracle to them.
953
00:34:45,469 --> 00:34:47,010
They just get a little crispiness.
954
00:34:47,310 --> 00:34:49,310
And then, like, a cheese gets even more
955
00:34:49,310 --> 00:34:49,889
melty.
956
00:34:50,330 --> 00:34:53,130
And just the whole situation, it's so good.
957
00:34:53,850 --> 00:34:56,550
And then, particularly not, like, an Asian-inspired
958
00:34:56,550 --> 00:34:56,870
dish.
959
00:34:56,970 --> 00:34:58,750
And it's weird that an Asian restaurant does
960
00:34:58,750 --> 00:34:59,370
it the best.
961
00:34:59,490 --> 00:35:00,430
But it's, like, so good.
962
00:35:00,770 --> 00:35:02,030
They do have diversity in the menu.
963
00:35:02,110 --> 00:35:03,650
They're also known for their desserts.
964
00:35:03,650 --> 00:35:05,970
And the end of that episode, Tameka and
965
00:35:05,970 --> 00:35:07,710
I get surprised by the owner with the
966
00:35:07,710 --> 00:35:11,250
two incredible desserts that were to, like, lick
967
00:35:11,250 --> 00:35:11,870
your fingers.
968
00:35:12,650 --> 00:35:14,210
Guys, I'm getting really hungry.
969
00:35:14,370 --> 00:35:15,130
I'll see you later.
970
00:35:16,650 --> 00:35:18,930
I want to go to another one, which
971
00:35:18,930 --> 00:35:23,550
is, yes, there is vegan fast food style.
972
00:35:23,790 --> 00:35:26,390
What I find so annoys me is, I
973
00:35:26,390 --> 00:35:29,230
drive down Lincoln Boulevard, for example, it's like
974
00:35:29,230 --> 00:35:31,450
one fast food restaurant after another.
975
00:35:31,450 --> 00:35:33,890
Where are all the people beating their chests?
976
00:35:34,190 --> 00:35:35,470
This isn't healthy for you.
977
00:35:35,750 --> 00:35:38,110
Then we come up with plant-based alternatives
978
00:35:38,110 --> 00:35:42,010
to fast food, which is automatically healthier because
979
00:35:42,010 --> 00:35:45,230
there's zero cholesterol in any vegan product.
980
00:35:45,690 --> 00:35:47,630
Challenge me, go up and down the supermarket
981
00:35:47,630 --> 00:35:48,290
aisles.
982
00:35:48,370 --> 00:35:50,690
Every single vegan product says zero cholesterol.
983
00:35:51,570 --> 00:35:56,870
And essentially, we mimic some of the look
984
00:35:56,870 --> 00:35:57,830
of fast food.
985
00:35:57,990 --> 00:36:00,650
But if you think about what's in it,
986
00:36:00,650 --> 00:36:05,750
it's actually vegetables mushed together to make a
987
00:36:05,750 --> 00:36:06,170
patty.
988
00:36:06,630 --> 00:36:08,830
So let's, you know, let's take a look
989
00:36:08,830 --> 00:36:10,890
at this one restaurant, which I want to
990
00:36:10,890 --> 00:36:12,970
visit as soon as I get to Chicago.
991
00:36:13,490 --> 00:36:15,370
Can't believe it's not me.
992
00:36:16,390 --> 00:36:17,610
I'm Tameka Price.
993
00:36:17,730 --> 00:36:20,110
And welcome to another tantalising adventure.
994
00:36:20,330 --> 00:36:21,790
Tameka, where are we going today?
995
00:36:21,930 --> 00:36:23,250
I'm so glad you asked me.
996
00:36:23,570 --> 00:36:25,810
We are going to one of Chicago's top
997
00:36:25,810 --> 00:36:27,890
spots for tantalising vegan eats.
998
00:36:28,270 --> 00:36:29,310
Can't believe it's not me.
999
00:36:29,470 --> 00:36:30,530
Can't believe it.
1000
00:36:30,530 --> 00:36:32,070
Can't believe it's not me.
1001
00:36:32,170 --> 00:36:34,570
It's a fun vegan junk food restaurant.
1002
00:36:35,010 --> 00:36:37,690
So because when my family and I have
1003
00:36:37,690 --> 00:36:40,690
become a vegan, we couldn't find things that
1004
00:36:40,690 --> 00:36:42,770
was just like, you know, really fun stuff
1005
00:36:42,770 --> 00:36:44,370
that my son and my family miss.
1006
00:36:44,830 --> 00:36:46,170
You know, my son, he still wanted fun
1007
00:36:46,170 --> 00:36:46,450
stuff.
1008
00:36:46,690 --> 00:36:49,510
Chicken nuggets, burgers, like cool fast food stuff.
1009
00:36:50,110 --> 00:36:52,630
But everything then at that time was just
1010
00:36:52,630 --> 00:36:54,530
like a lot of, you know, mushroom based
1011
00:36:54,530 --> 00:36:55,110
quinoa.
1012
00:36:55,250 --> 00:36:58,150
Like everything was just like not aimed towards
1013
00:36:58,150 --> 00:36:58,810
fast food.
1014
00:36:59,410 --> 00:37:01,730
We found a boy there and I was
1015
00:37:01,730 --> 00:37:03,930
like, that would be wonderful to open up
1016
00:37:03,930 --> 00:37:04,830
a restaurant like that.
1017
00:37:04,910 --> 00:37:07,050
But it came from, I would let my
1018
00:37:07,050 --> 00:37:08,910
family eat it that was not vegan and
1019
00:37:08,910 --> 00:37:09,610
they'll taste it.
1020
00:37:09,650 --> 00:37:10,990
And they'll be like, I can't believe it's
1021
00:37:10,990 --> 00:37:11,330
not me.
1022
00:37:12,330 --> 00:37:13,990
I can't believe it's not me.
1023
00:37:14,370 --> 00:37:16,470
The food is mouthwatering.
1024
00:37:16,530 --> 00:37:18,450
I mean, all of the restaurants you visit,
1025
00:37:18,870 --> 00:37:21,950
but boy that, the burger shakes, fries.
1026
00:37:22,430 --> 00:37:25,450
And just tell me about that restaurant and
1027
00:37:25,450 --> 00:37:27,530
the woman who started it.
1028
00:37:28,150 --> 00:37:29,970
Yeah, Chef Fab is wonderful.
1029
00:37:30,610 --> 00:37:33,310
My mouth just literally started to water watching
1030
00:37:33,310 --> 00:37:33,670
it.
1031
00:37:33,810 --> 00:37:35,130
I was like, oh my gosh.
1032
00:37:35,570 --> 00:37:36,930
So yeah, I do love that.
1033
00:37:37,130 --> 00:37:39,650
They cater to also not just like the
1034
00:37:39,650 --> 00:37:42,370
vegan junk food, but a lot of, there's
1035
00:37:42,370 --> 00:37:45,730
like Chicago classics that they also make.
1036
00:37:46,190 --> 00:37:48,750
And it's just all just so, so, so
1037
00:37:48,750 --> 00:37:49,030
good.
1038
00:37:49,270 --> 00:37:51,550
Like that was one of the first restaurants
1039
00:37:51,550 --> 00:37:52,250
that I visited.
1040
00:37:53,350 --> 00:37:55,690
And it made me, when I said I
1041
00:37:55,690 --> 00:37:57,150
was going to do 30 days, you know,
1042
00:37:57,270 --> 00:37:58,930
plant-based, I was like, maybe I could
1043
00:37:58,930 --> 00:38:00,330
do this a hundred percent.
1044
00:38:00,710 --> 00:38:01,910
So that was one of the places.
1045
00:38:02,190 --> 00:38:03,130
So it's so good.
1046
00:38:03,670 --> 00:38:04,930
Well, you guys are very important.
1047
00:38:05,070 --> 00:38:05,490
Go ahead.
1048
00:38:05,570 --> 00:38:06,230
Go ahead, Nemanja.
1049
00:38:06,370 --> 00:38:08,370
I just want to say that like Tamika's
1050
00:38:08,370 --> 00:38:10,690
favourite is there like a Philly cheesesteak, which
1051
00:38:10,690 --> 00:38:12,510
is like a very traditional take on like
1052
00:38:12,510 --> 00:38:13,290
a Chicago dish.
1053
00:38:13,490 --> 00:38:15,390
And that patty melt from Can't Believe It's
1054
00:38:15,390 --> 00:38:15,810
Not Meat.
1055
00:38:15,970 --> 00:38:18,930
It's like, I don't remember patty melt being
1056
00:38:18,930 --> 00:38:19,410
that good.
1057
00:38:19,490 --> 00:38:19,930
Honestly.
1058
00:38:20,190 --> 00:38:22,150
Cause like it was not like my favourite
1059
00:38:22,150 --> 00:38:23,130
thing back in time.
1060
00:38:23,210 --> 00:38:25,350
It's been for me like nine years since
1061
00:38:25,350 --> 00:38:26,230
I had meat.
1062
00:38:26,230 --> 00:38:29,930
But like that patty melt from Can't Believe
1063
00:38:29,930 --> 00:38:31,410
It's Not Meat is literally one of the
1064
00:38:31,410 --> 00:38:31,710
best.
1065
00:38:32,230 --> 00:38:32,710
Yeah.
1066
00:38:32,910 --> 00:38:33,970
And everybody's sharing.
1067
00:38:34,130 --> 00:38:36,090
And so many people are saying we've got
1068
00:38:36,090 --> 00:38:38,810
to go to Chicago road trip.
1069
00:38:39,390 --> 00:38:39,910
Oh, wow.
1070
00:38:39,930 --> 00:38:41,370
This is making me hungry.
1071
00:38:41,990 --> 00:38:44,810
I want to go to Chicago road trip.
1072
00:38:44,970 --> 00:38:45,870
Oh my gosh.
1073
00:38:46,250 --> 00:38:48,070
I think that we're going to get a
1074
00:38:48,070 --> 00:38:48,690
whole crew.
1075
00:38:49,110 --> 00:38:50,350
You know what we could do?
1076
00:38:50,650 --> 00:38:55,730
I'm always cooking up different little adventures in
1077
00:38:55,730 --> 00:38:56,290
my head.
1078
00:38:56,470 --> 00:38:57,370
That's how I get into trouble.
1079
00:38:57,730 --> 00:39:00,370
We could do a group road trip from
1080
00:39:00,370 --> 00:39:04,710
LA to Chicago and do the tour of
1081
00:39:04,710 --> 00:39:07,110
the restaurants that you profile.
1082
00:39:08,070 --> 00:39:08,890
I love that.
1083
00:39:09,210 --> 00:39:11,450
You should follow us on the way too.
1084
00:39:12,370 --> 00:39:12,750
Yeah.
1085
00:39:13,490 --> 00:39:13,990
Absolutely.
1086
00:39:14,490 --> 00:39:15,030
That would be fun.
1087
00:39:15,210 --> 00:39:17,410
We probably, I don't know, but it should
1088
00:39:17,410 --> 00:39:18,990
be a long tour in the sense that
1089
00:39:18,990 --> 00:39:21,030
if we went to every single restaurant in
1090
00:39:21,030 --> 00:39:21,670
two days.
1091
00:39:21,890 --> 00:39:23,110
Well, every time you're hungry.
1092
00:39:23,110 --> 00:39:24,770
Every time you're hungry, we could go to
1093
00:39:24,770 --> 00:39:25,170
a new restaurant.
1094
00:39:25,190 --> 00:39:26,770
Every time you're hungry, which could be four
1095
00:39:26,770 --> 00:39:27,850
to five times a day.
1096
00:39:28,270 --> 00:39:31,350
Now let me ask you, Nemanja, you're, both
1097
00:39:31,350 --> 00:39:33,610
of you are social media influencers.
1098
00:39:33,610 --> 00:39:36,290
You have your pulse, your finger on the
1099
00:39:36,290 --> 00:39:37,330
pulse of the nation.
1100
00:39:37,750 --> 00:39:39,030
Where are we?
1101
00:39:39,210 --> 00:39:42,430
Because, you know, I've been vegan about 28
1102
00:39:42,430 --> 00:39:44,870
years and Tom says, let me know when
1103
00:39:44,870 --> 00:39:45,270
you're here.
1104
00:39:45,330 --> 00:39:46,010
We will, Tom.
1105
00:39:46,090 --> 00:39:47,730
Don't worry about that for sure.
1106
00:39:48,430 --> 00:39:50,470
But I've been vegan about 28 years.
1107
00:39:50,470 --> 00:39:54,210
When I first went vegan, you know, there
1108
00:39:54,210 --> 00:39:56,490
were like two restaurants and they were mostly
1109
00:39:56,490 --> 00:39:58,990
like macrobiotic, nothing against macrobiotics.
1110
00:39:59,250 --> 00:40:01,410
My parents were actually macrobiotic for quite a
1111
00:40:01,410 --> 00:40:04,510
while, but I knew everybody.
1112
00:40:04,830 --> 00:40:07,790
They were empty, you know, and now a
1113
00:40:07,790 --> 00:40:09,210
lot of times it's hard to get a
1114
00:40:09,210 --> 00:40:11,090
table at the hot vegan restaurants.
1115
00:40:11,330 --> 00:40:13,030
I mean, we've got a lot of hot
1116
00:40:13,030 --> 00:40:13,990
vegan restaurants here.
1117
00:40:14,170 --> 00:40:15,390
I don't want to leave any out, but
1118
00:40:15,390 --> 00:40:18,530
just to throw out a couple, Planta, Crossroads,
1119
00:40:19,030 --> 00:40:20,930
Cavendish, Gracias Madre.
1120
00:40:21,130 --> 00:40:22,550
A lot of times it's really hard to
1121
00:40:22,550 --> 00:40:24,410
get a table at those and nothing makes
1122
00:40:24,410 --> 00:40:24,970
me happier.
1123
00:40:25,470 --> 00:40:27,150
Honestly, I can tell you, nothing makes me
1124
00:40:27,150 --> 00:40:28,630
happier than having to wait for a table
1125
00:40:28,630 --> 00:40:30,510
at a vegan restaurant because for so many
1126
00:40:30,510 --> 00:40:34,090
years, I fantasised about that scenario.
1127
00:40:34,750 --> 00:40:36,170
So where are we?
1128
00:40:36,250 --> 00:40:38,670
Because there's, that's a good point there.
1129
00:40:38,770 --> 00:40:40,510
But on the other side, as I mentioned,
1130
00:40:40,970 --> 00:40:44,910
you have these very powerful industries on the
1131
00:40:44,910 --> 00:40:46,750
attack because they're scared.
1132
00:40:46,950 --> 00:40:48,530
They see people going vegan and they see
1133
00:40:48,530 --> 00:40:50,770
money, money, money going away and they want
1134
00:40:50,770 --> 00:40:53,150
people to keep eating the same food that's
1135
00:40:53,150 --> 00:40:54,990
making them really, really sick.
1136
00:40:55,250 --> 00:40:57,030
So where are we, Nemanja?
1137
00:40:57,190 --> 00:40:58,030
And then we'll go to Tamika.
1138
00:40:58,690 --> 00:41:00,710
Jane, you just reminded me of a joke
1139
00:41:00,710 --> 00:41:03,530
where like getting mad at the grocery store
1140
00:41:03,530 --> 00:41:06,290
that the vegan supplies, it's sold out, but
1141
00:41:06,290 --> 00:41:08,270
then being happy because that means it's in
1142
00:41:08,270 --> 00:41:08,630
demand.
1143
00:41:09,590 --> 00:41:11,250
So you just reminded me of that.
1144
00:41:11,290 --> 00:41:13,190
As you said, you enjoy waiting for a
1145
00:41:13,190 --> 00:41:15,210
table at a vegan restaurant, which is funny.
1146
00:41:16,110 --> 00:41:18,070
I think, I agree with you.
1147
00:41:18,250 --> 00:41:20,630
The meat industry, the dairy industry is desperate.
1148
00:41:20,770 --> 00:41:22,370
And I spoke about that on my podcast.
1149
00:41:22,710 --> 00:41:24,850
I really think they're so desperate that they're
1150
00:41:24,850 --> 00:41:27,650
trying to pull like the last rows of
1151
00:41:27,650 --> 00:41:29,390
like to save themselves.
1152
00:41:30,030 --> 00:41:33,090
But I think people are recognising those and
1153
00:41:33,090 --> 00:41:35,490
I don't think it's doing much, particularly not
1154
00:41:35,490 --> 00:41:37,030
for the dairy industry.
1155
00:41:37,570 --> 00:41:39,830
When it comes, oh, Kale, Kale, my dog
1156
00:41:39,830 --> 00:41:40,490
is present.
1157
00:41:40,490 --> 00:41:46,330
Anyway, when it comes to the meat industry
1158
00:41:46,330 --> 00:41:49,930
trying to, Kale, come here, come here.
1159
00:41:50,910 --> 00:41:52,810
My dog, it's just, you know, it's a
1160
00:41:52,810 --> 00:41:53,610
live show.
1161
00:41:54,030 --> 00:41:55,230
So like that can happen.
1162
00:41:56,270 --> 00:41:57,410
Kale, my name.
1163
00:41:57,910 --> 00:41:59,030
And yes, exactly.
1164
00:41:59,350 --> 00:42:01,610
That is my everything.
1165
00:42:01,950 --> 00:42:03,290
Anyway, meat industry.
1166
00:42:03,710 --> 00:42:06,330
I recently chatted with my cousin who was,
1167
00:42:06,470 --> 00:42:07,490
my entire family went vegan.
1168
00:42:07,590 --> 00:42:09,790
I convinced them all, but my cousin didn't.
1169
00:42:09,790 --> 00:42:11,990
And I was recently chatting about it and
1170
00:42:11,990 --> 00:42:13,350
then she was trying to convince me that
1171
00:42:13,350 --> 00:42:14,290
it's not a good option.
1172
00:42:14,450 --> 00:42:16,550
And I asked her, why are we even
1173
00:42:16,550 --> 00:42:17,650
having this debate?
1174
00:42:18,330 --> 00:42:22,630
I was like, mine, it's to support life
1175
00:42:22,630 --> 00:42:24,570
and yours is to support death.
1176
00:42:24,830 --> 00:42:26,670
You will never win this, so let's just
1177
00:42:26,670 --> 00:42:27,210
end it.
1178
00:42:27,490 --> 00:42:30,070
And that is my opinion on like where
1179
00:42:30,070 --> 00:42:31,450
this is going, right?
1180
00:42:31,690 --> 00:42:35,950
Like they will never win because we want
1181
00:42:35,950 --> 00:42:37,170
to support life.
1182
00:42:37,170 --> 00:42:38,570
And I think that's it.
1183
00:42:39,290 --> 00:42:39,850
Absolutely.
1184
00:42:40,590 --> 00:42:42,390
And also for the climate.
1185
00:42:42,670 --> 00:42:45,430
I mean, climate change is no longer some
1186
00:42:45,430 --> 00:42:46,770
theoretical thing out there.
1187
00:42:46,870 --> 00:42:47,790
It's hitting people.
1188
00:42:48,510 --> 00:42:50,530
And one of the reasons I started Unchained
1189
00:42:50,530 --> 00:42:53,150
TV is because having been in the news
1190
00:42:53,150 --> 00:42:56,850
media for decades, I saw that they would
1191
00:42:56,850 --> 00:42:59,210
cover all the catastrophes, but then when a
1192
00:42:59,210 --> 00:43:01,710
solution comes up that's a clear cut solution.
1193
00:43:02,010 --> 00:43:04,350
And I'll give you a very specific example.
1194
00:43:04,350 --> 00:43:06,170
I've got it right here.
1195
00:43:07,650 --> 00:43:09,550
Let me find it because it's worth, here
1196
00:43:09,550 --> 00:43:09,950
we go.
1197
00:43:10,670 --> 00:43:12,570
Put down that hamburger, save the planet.
1198
00:43:13,070 --> 00:43:13,650
New York Times.
1199
00:43:14,150 --> 00:43:16,910
Researchers examined the diets of 55,500 people
1200
00:43:16,910 --> 00:43:19,210
and found that vegans are responsible for 75
1201
00:43:19,210 --> 00:43:22,510
% less in greenhouse gases than meat eaters.
1202
00:43:22,870 --> 00:43:25,490
Now, that means that if everybody went vegan,
1203
00:43:25,650 --> 00:43:28,610
we would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 75%.
1204
00:43:28,610 --> 00:43:29,550
That's a solution.
1205
00:43:30,030 --> 00:43:30,270
Hello?
1206
00:43:30,870 --> 00:43:32,870
No coverage.
1207
00:43:32,870 --> 00:43:34,650
No coverage on any of the major networks
1208
00:43:34,650 --> 00:43:36,070
or any of the minor networks.
1209
00:43:36,450 --> 00:43:37,930
I mean, we're the only ones that are
1210
00:43:37,930 --> 00:43:38,690
talking about it now.
1211
00:43:39,190 --> 00:43:40,970
Kudos to the New York Times for publishing
1212
00:43:40,970 --> 00:43:41,310
that.
1213
00:43:41,610 --> 00:43:42,610
It was kind of buried.
1214
00:43:42,790 --> 00:43:43,410
The article wasn't.
1215
00:43:43,510 --> 00:43:44,290
It should be a headline.
1216
00:43:44,830 --> 00:43:47,470
They do headlines about the catastrophes, the fires,
1217
00:43:47,650 --> 00:43:51,890
the floods, the buildings collapsing, all of these
1218
00:43:51,890 --> 00:43:52,130
things.
1219
00:43:52,450 --> 00:43:54,310
And then when a clear cut solution is
1220
00:43:54,310 --> 00:43:57,010
offered, they completely ignore it.
1221
00:43:57,450 --> 00:44:00,450
So that's why I started Unchained TV.
1222
00:44:00,450 --> 00:44:03,430
So if the clock is ticking, we have
1223
00:44:03,430 --> 00:44:04,510
to get people on board.
1224
00:44:04,990 --> 00:44:06,750
And then, you know, when they lose their
1225
00:44:06,750 --> 00:44:10,340
house in a fire, is it going to
1226
00:44:10,340 --> 00:44:13,480
take that for them to get the connection?
1227
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:15,780
That they could have been part of the
1228
00:44:15,780 --> 00:44:16,160
solution?
1229
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,360
So this is one of the reasons I
1230
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,420
started Unchained TV, because the reason why you
1231
00:44:21,420 --> 00:44:24,060
won't see it on mainstream television is look
1232
00:44:24,060 --> 00:44:25,180
at the advertisers.
1233
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:27,720
Fast food and pharmaceuticals.
1234
00:44:27,720 --> 00:44:28,800
Your thoughts on that, Tamika?
1235
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:32,160
Yeah, it's ultimately, to me, it's a money
1236
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:32,620
issue.
1237
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:36,740
It can be a cognitive dissonance issue with
1238
00:44:36,740 --> 00:44:42,080
individuals, but ultimately this is like this is
1239
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:43,720
about big business.
1240
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,100
I just think that the best way for
1241
00:44:47,100 --> 00:44:51,620
us individually to influence people and just let
1242
00:44:51,620 --> 00:44:53,240
them see what's going on is just to
1243
00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:57,820
continue to share and let them let them
1244
00:44:57,820 --> 00:44:59,460
get to that point themselves, because a lot
1245
00:44:59,460 --> 00:45:01,000
of times when people feel forced or that
1246
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,680
their arm is twisted and things like that,
1247
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,200
you'll be met with more resistance.
1248
00:45:06,740 --> 00:45:09,200
So that's honestly why I just try to
1249
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,520
share the joy and, again, the abundance of
1250
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,260
this lifestyle, because for me I already know
1251
00:45:16,260 --> 00:45:17,480
that the way social media is going to
1252
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,360
break things down, they're going to show my
1253
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,100
content to the people that love it and
1254
00:45:21,100 --> 00:45:22,320
they're going to show my content to the
1255
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:23,140
people that hate it.
1256
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:27,720
So I'm just looking to help sway somebody
1257
00:45:27,720 --> 00:45:30,300
to just say you can help out the
1258
00:45:30,300 --> 00:45:31,660
planet, you can help out yourself, you can
1259
00:45:31,660 --> 00:45:33,940
help out your health by a plant-based
1260
00:45:33,940 --> 00:45:34,280
diet.
1261
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:36,640
And check out...
1262
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,080
Everyone's complaining how hot it is, and we
1263
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,040
don't get that much snow in Chicago anymore.
1264
00:45:42,380 --> 00:45:44,460
I remember when I came here in 2015
1265
00:45:44,460 --> 00:45:46,160
there was like four months of snow.
1266
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,580
Last winter we had two days of snow,
1267
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:48,920
Jane.
1268
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,180
It's Chicago, for the love of God!
1269
00:45:51,180 --> 00:45:54,700
I agree with you, and again, that's why
1270
00:45:54,700 --> 00:45:56,740
I started Unchained TV.
1271
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:58,900
So it's a vegan Netflix.
1272
00:45:59,220 --> 00:46:01,080
Okay, that's the craziest thing I've ever heard.
1273
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:02,340
I love Unchained TV.
1274
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:03,180
Unchained.
1275
00:46:03,460 --> 00:46:04,340
Unchained TV.
1276
00:46:04,500 --> 00:46:05,300
Your life will change.
1277
00:46:05,460 --> 00:46:06,460
It's just that easy.
1278
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,340
Unchained TV has all sorts of content for
1279
00:46:09,340 --> 00:46:09,780
everybody.
1280
00:46:10,180 --> 00:46:12,220
Unchained TV changed my life.
1281
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,360
Unchained TV is crushing it.
1282
00:46:15,460 --> 00:46:17,020
I love Unchained TV.
1283
00:46:17,300 --> 00:46:19,020
Unchained TV is my go-to.
1284
00:46:19,020 --> 00:46:20,140
Unchained TV.
1285
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:21,140
Who knew?
1286
00:46:21,780 --> 00:46:23,080
Unchained, baby!
1287
00:46:29,170 --> 00:46:31,850
And you can just go to if you
1288
00:46:31,850 --> 00:46:33,710
want to go straight to the streaming network,
1289
00:46:33,970 --> 00:46:38,330
watch.unchainedtv.com We also have our website
1290
00:46:38,330 --> 00:46:41,370
hub, unchainedtv.com, either one.
1291
00:46:41,770 --> 00:46:44,310
And we also produce hundreds, even thousands of
1292
00:46:44,310 --> 00:46:44,790
articles.
1293
00:46:44,870 --> 00:46:47,470
And we have very exciting development to tell
1294
00:46:47,470 --> 00:46:50,330
you about that connects with Kale Crew.
1295
00:46:50,630 --> 00:46:53,630
We have now launched on Fast Channels and
1296
00:46:53,630 --> 00:46:57,270
this week we are going to start showing
1297
00:46:57,270 --> 00:47:01,430
Kale Crew on the Fast Channels and those
1298
00:47:01,430 --> 00:47:04,070
are going to open this message up to
1299
00:47:04,070 --> 00:47:06,410
a whole new audience.
1300
00:47:06,950 --> 00:47:08,990
So we're very excited about that.
1301
00:47:09,270 --> 00:47:12,930
You guys are literally changing the world, saving
1302
00:47:12,930 --> 00:47:15,890
the world and I just have to say,
1303
00:47:16,530 --> 00:47:18,690
coming full circle back to when I met
1304
00:47:18,690 --> 00:47:20,970
you at a party, Nemanja, and I said,
1305
00:47:21,130 --> 00:47:22,750
we were just talking and I said, oh,
1306
00:47:22,850 --> 00:47:24,330
Chicago, why don't you do a show in
1307
00:47:24,330 --> 00:47:24,690
Chicago?
1308
00:47:25,350 --> 00:47:27,790
And you were like, okay, and then like
1309
00:47:27,790 --> 00:47:29,750
two weeks later you have your first episode.
1310
00:47:29,890 --> 00:47:31,190
I was like, oh my God, I've never
1311
00:47:31,190 --> 00:47:35,490
seen anybody move that fast and that efficiently
1312
00:47:36,070 --> 00:47:39,350
and you just keep churning out the episodes.
1313
00:47:39,650 --> 00:47:42,490
I mean, what is your secret sauce?
1314
00:47:42,530 --> 00:47:44,370
Because I would say I'll have what he's
1315
00:47:44,370 --> 00:47:44,670
having.
1316
00:47:46,110 --> 00:47:49,090
One thing about Neiman, Neiman moves quick and
1317
00:47:49,770 --> 00:47:53,130
I'm excited about things and what I'm passionate
1318
00:47:53,130 --> 00:47:54,630
about like I just want to do.
1319
00:47:55,170 --> 00:47:59,050
I have to tell people who watch already
1320
00:47:59,050 --> 00:48:01,190
all the episodes, the reasons to stay tuned.
1321
00:48:01,590 --> 00:48:03,190
It's going to be like a teeny tiny
1322
00:48:03,190 --> 00:48:05,170
spoiler alert for what is coming.
1323
00:48:05,470 --> 00:48:07,030
But we're going to also have like a
1324
00:48:07,030 --> 00:48:08,390
dessert ice cream episode.
1325
00:48:08,530 --> 00:48:10,150
It's going to be absolutely fabulous and it's
1326
00:48:10,150 --> 00:48:11,510
coming out already this Friday.
1327
00:48:12,610 --> 00:48:15,690
Anyway, for the episode after that that still
1328
00:48:15,690 --> 00:48:18,390
has not been recorded but I have to
1329
00:48:18,390 --> 00:48:20,690
say something because the caller previously said that
1330
00:48:20,690 --> 00:48:24,090
long time ago in Chicago she barely had
1331
00:48:24,090 --> 00:48:24,730
any options.
1332
00:48:24,970 --> 00:48:27,410
Well, I also didn't know about this but
1333
00:48:27,410 --> 00:48:30,750
the episode eight will be at the vegan
1334
00:48:30,750 --> 00:48:34,470
place in Chicago that's been existing for 40
1335
00:48:34,470 --> 00:48:35,330
years.
1336
00:48:35,630 --> 00:48:35,970
What?
1337
00:48:37,230 --> 00:48:39,530
That's why I stay tuned on Unchained TV
1338
00:48:39,530 --> 00:48:40,950
for the episode eight of a Kel Crew
1339
00:48:40,950 --> 00:48:43,730
show because 40 years ago they didn't even
1340
00:48:43,730 --> 00:48:46,370
have a vegan word established so they called
1341
00:48:46,370 --> 00:48:47,590
it vegetarian restaurant.
1342
00:48:47,750 --> 00:48:50,070
Even though it was 100% vegan, they
1343
00:48:50,070 --> 00:48:52,470
just didn't know how to call it differently
1344
00:48:52,470 --> 00:48:54,270
but they called it a vegetarian restaurant.
1345
00:48:54,590 --> 00:48:56,770
So I think vegetarian is still somewhere in
1346
00:48:56,770 --> 00:48:58,430
their name or they switched it to the
1347
00:48:58,430 --> 00:48:59,050
veg now.
1348
00:48:59,390 --> 00:49:01,750
But anyway, you're going to find out more
1349
00:49:01,750 --> 00:49:03,610
about this in an episode eight and I
1350
00:49:03,610 --> 00:49:05,310
just wanted to give like a little preview
1351
00:49:05,310 --> 00:49:07,790
so you guys can be excited about it
1352
00:49:07,790 --> 00:49:10,030
and look forward to episodes to come.
1353
00:49:10,030 --> 00:49:11,970
Well, that's really exciting.
1354
00:49:12,150 --> 00:49:13,730
It reminds me of when I was in
1355
00:49:13,730 --> 00:49:17,950
Zurich and they said that the world's oldest
1356
00:49:17,950 --> 00:49:19,770
vegan restaurant existed.
1357
00:49:19,910 --> 00:49:21,190
The world's oldest vegetarian.
1358
00:49:22,090 --> 00:49:24,930
And I went there and it was a
1359
00:49:24,930 --> 00:49:27,130
buffet style restaurant.
1360
00:49:27,450 --> 00:49:28,630
That's what it is.
1361
00:49:29,930 --> 00:49:31,930
It was almost 100% vegan.
1362
00:49:32,010 --> 00:49:33,490
In fact, I didn't see anything that wasn't
1363
00:49:33,490 --> 00:49:33,810
vegan.
1364
00:49:34,150 --> 00:49:36,830
They called it vegetarian but that was one
1365
00:49:36,830 --> 00:49:40,290
of the highlights of my life, honestly.
1366
00:49:40,630 --> 00:49:42,910
Because I'm trying to remember the name of
1367
00:49:42,910 --> 00:49:44,350
it but I was like, really?
1368
00:49:44,450 --> 00:49:45,290
The world's oldest?
1369
00:49:45,450 --> 00:49:47,130
And I went there and it was just
1370
00:49:47,130 --> 00:49:47,990
like magical.
1371
00:49:48,150 --> 00:49:50,230
It was like when I saw Santa Claus
1372
00:49:50,230 --> 00:49:51,630
for the first time, you know?
1373
00:49:52,030 --> 00:49:54,390
I just had that feeling of like, wow!
1374
00:49:55,150 --> 00:49:56,110
So, oh!
1375
00:49:56,470 --> 00:49:58,370
This is so very exciting.
1376
00:49:58,790 --> 00:50:00,270
We've got another caller.
1377
00:50:00,690 --> 00:50:02,110
Annie in Sherman Oaks.
1378
00:50:02,110 --> 00:50:04,030
Your question or thought for the stars of
1379
00:50:04,030 --> 00:50:05,650
Kale Crew on Unchained TV.
1380
00:50:06,930 --> 00:50:08,210
Oh my goodness!
1381
00:50:08,390 --> 00:50:09,850
Thank you for having my call, Jane.
1382
00:50:09,930 --> 00:50:10,650
Oh my goodness!
1383
00:50:10,770 --> 00:50:12,350
I'm so excited to be here with you
1384
00:50:12,350 --> 00:50:12,550
guys.
1385
00:50:12,650 --> 00:50:15,830
Your energy is so, oh my god!
1386
00:50:15,890 --> 00:50:16,730
I love it.
1387
00:50:17,090 --> 00:50:20,590
It just gets through everybody, through the channels
1388
00:50:20,590 --> 00:50:21,130
and everything.
1389
00:50:21,270 --> 00:50:22,410
I've been sharing like crazy.
1390
00:50:22,950 --> 00:50:24,370
I love your energy.
1391
00:50:24,470 --> 00:50:27,290
How did you two get together and make
1392
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:28,190
this happen?
1393
00:50:28,570 --> 00:50:29,910
This is so beautiful.
1394
00:50:30,190 --> 00:50:32,370
What you're doing is incredible work.
1395
00:50:32,650 --> 00:50:34,590
I love everything you're doing and I can
1396
00:50:34,590 --> 00:50:36,310
hardly wait for us to come there.
1397
00:50:37,370 --> 00:50:38,330
Let's do it!
1398
00:50:38,570 --> 00:50:39,110
Road trip!
1399
00:50:39,730 --> 00:50:40,170
We're on!
1400
00:50:43,350 --> 00:50:44,310
I can't wait.
1401
00:50:44,430 --> 00:50:45,110
I can't wait.
1402
00:50:45,230 --> 00:50:47,370
Okay, thanks Annie.
1403
00:50:47,790 --> 00:50:48,310
Go ahead.
1404
00:50:48,890 --> 00:50:51,110
Mika and I met inside of Kale My
1405
00:50:51,110 --> 00:50:51,410
Name.
1406
00:50:52,330 --> 00:50:55,130
She was previously a guest of Kale My
1407
00:50:55,130 --> 00:50:56,270
Name where we didn't meet.
1408
00:50:56,430 --> 00:50:57,430
She was sitting on the patio.
1409
00:50:57,570 --> 00:50:59,430
I was not there, but like I know
1410
00:50:59,430 --> 00:51:01,410
she had some pictures from it.
1411
00:51:01,410 --> 00:51:04,990
It was one of her friends' birthday party.
1412
00:51:05,430 --> 00:51:07,830
Jane, when I tell you, they showed up.
1413
00:51:08,370 --> 00:51:10,950
It was really a ball for them.
1414
00:51:11,050 --> 00:51:11,970
They dressed up.
1415
00:51:12,130 --> 00:51:13,150
They looked so good.
1416
00:51:13,370 --> 00:51:16,030
They booked our fabulous tea party at Kale
1417
00:51:16,030 --> 00:51:16,490
My Name.
1418
00:51:16,990 --> 00:51:18,330
I don't know if you know that Kale
1419
00:51:18,330 --> 00:51:19,550
My Name does tea parties.
1420
00:51:19,790 --> 00:51:22,030
You can dress up, put a tea party
1421
00:51:22,030 --> 00:51:22,350
hat.
1422
00:51:22,450 --> 00:51:23,510
There's a whole tower.
1423
00:51:25,110 --> 00:51:26,970
I've been there and I just stared at
1424
00:51:26,970 --> 00:51:27,190
them.
1425
00:51:27,290 --> 00:51:28,730
I was like, they're so beautiful.
1426
00:51:28,910 --> 00:51:30,230
I'm going to drop a picture.
1427
00:51:30,470 --> 00:51:32,010
I have to put this on our Instagram
1428
00:51:32,010 --> 00:51:34,350
so people see how fabulous our guests are.
1429
00:51:35,290 --> 00:51:36,290
That's how we met.
1430
00:51:36,370 --> 00:51:37,170
We just clicked.
1431
00:51:37,410 --> 00:51:39,850
We switched social media handles.
1432
00:51:41,950 --> 00:51:45,170
Then later on, visit by visit at Kale
1433
00:51:45,170 --> 00:51:47,890
My Name, we started even working together because
1434
00:51:47,890 --> 00:51:50,130
Tamika promotes all of these places.
1435
00:51:50,510 --> 00:51:52,670
I wanted us to do a little business
1436
00:51:52,670 --> 00:51:53,050
together.
1437
00:51:53,330 --> 00:51:55,290
I invited her to come and create some
1438
00:51:55,290 --> 00:51:57,290
super exciting reels from Kale My Name, which
1439
00:51:57,290 --> 00:51:57,730
she did.
1440
00:51:58,190 --> 00:52:00,110
They were really, really, really good.
1441
00:52:00,590 --> 00:52:02,450
Then we just started talking a lot.
1442
00:52:02,710 --> 00:52:05,930
I think our friendship really turned into friendship,
1443
00:52:06,070 --> 00:52:08,290
friendship, where we came to the idea to
1444
00:52:08,290 --> 00:52:10,170
visit Atlanta together for food.
1445
00:52:10,430 --> 00:52:13,650
We went to Atlanta and ate at five
1446
00:52:13,650 --> 00:52:14,430
restaurants a day.
1447
00:52:15,470 --> 00:52:15,870
What?
1448
00:52:17,830 --> 00:52:20,550
How do you keep that girlish figure?
1449
00:52:23,990 --> 00:52:25,710
Listen, it's a vegan food.
1450
00:52:26,850 --> 00:52:28,210
It's a vegan food.
1451
00:52:28,430 --> 00:52:30,230
We walk a lot.
1452
00:52:30,370 --> 00:52:32,290
We walked a lot and we got wet
1453
00:52:32,290 --> 00:52:33,130
because it rained.
1454
00:52:33,870 --> 00:52:35,870
We were running at that point.
1455
00:52:36,170 --> 00:52:37,630
Maybe we ran.
1456
00:52:38,850 --> 00:52:41,810
I think the thing I like the most
1457
00:52:41,810 --> 00:52:44,010
about your show, if I had to summarise
1458
00:52:44,010 --> 00:52:47,970
it, is that you make veganism so fun.
1459
00:52:48,450 --> 00:52:49,670
It is so fun.
1460
00:52:49,670 --> 00:52:51,830
You're not just putting it on.
1461
00:52:52,430 --> 00:52:55,750
I would say my worst day as a
1462
00:52:55,750 --> 00:52:59,610
vegan is better than my best day as
1463
00:52:59,610 --> 00:53:00,770
an omnivore.
1464
00:53:01,450 --> 00:53:03,590
I have a certain joy.
1465
00:53:03,810 --> 00:53:06,390
We just also launched a new show called
1466
00:53:06,390 --> 00:53:07,330
Doctor Moms.
1467
00:53:07,570 --> 00:53:11,750
It explains that your serotonin levels are determined
1468
00:53:11,750 --> 00:53:12,970
by your gut biome.
1469
00:53:13,390 --> 00:53:15,530
Your gut biome is determined by what you
1470
00:53:15,530 --> 00:53:15,890
eat.
1471
00:53:16,290 --> 00:53:18,990
All these people who are taking antidepressants, if
1472
00:53:18,990 --> 00:53:21,170
they switch to a plant-based diet, I
1473
00:53:21,170 --> 00:53:22,850
think they might do better, Tameka.
1474
00:53:23,270 --> 00:53:24,750
It could definitely help.
1475
00:53:25,510 --> 00:53:27,730
We need an adequate amount of sunlight.
1476
00:53:28,370 --> 00:53:29,770
We need to be one with nature.
1477
00:53:30,170 --> 00:53:31,570
That includes plants.
1478
00:53:31,750 --> 00:53:32,550
It really, really does.
1479
00:53:32,790 --> 00:53:36,330
I remember when I was an omnivore and
1480
00:53:36,330 --> 00:53:38,630
I just loved burgers and pizza and all
1481
00:53:38,630 --> 00:53:39,170
that kind of stuff.
1482
00:53:39,250 --> 00:53:42,370
I remember every time I would eat, every
1483
00:53:42,370 --> 00:53:44,210
single time, I would feel like I had
1484
00:53:44,210 --> 00:53:45,710
to go to sleep, like I needed to
1485
00:53:45,710 --> 00:53:46,250
take a nap.
1486
00:53:46,470 --> 00:53:48,350
That is not the case anymore.
1487
00:53:49,430 --> 00:53:52,210
I would have went plant-based sooner if
1488
00:53:52,210 --> 00:53:54,330
I would have known that the energy was
1489
00:53:54,330 --> 00:53:56,190
just going to shoot through the roof.
1490
00:53:56,330 --> 00:53:58,830
At this point, being in my 40s, I'm
1491
00:53:58,830 --> 00:54:00,570
just like, I need every drop of energy
1492
00:54:00,570 --> 00:54:02,630
now, especially for all these goals and dreams.
1493
00:54:03,090 --> 00:54:04,750
I'm so happy to be plant-based.
1494
00:54:05,430 --> 00:54:06,670
Oh my gosh, yes.
1495
00:54:07,690 --> 00:54:09,130
First of all, I think there's going to
1496
00:54:09,130 --> 00:54:10,550
be a whole group and they want to
1497
00:54:10,550 --> 00:54:11,730
know when we're going.
1498
00:54:12,290 --> 00:54:14,990
I think early September might be a good
1499
00:54:14,990 --> 00:54:16,830
time to go to Chicago, right?
1500
00:54:17,150 --> 00:54:19,230
That could easily be a good time for
1501
00:54:19,230 --> 00:54:19,670
Chicago.
1502
00:54:19,950 --> 00:54:21,830
There might be something fun for the Kale
1503
00:54:21,830 --> 00:54:22,990
Crew show, but you're going to have to
1504
00:54:22,990 --> 00:54:23,590
stay tuned.
1505
00:54:23,910 --> 00:54:27,250
Make sure to follow both Samika and KaleMyName
1506
00:54:27,250 --> 00:54:29,230
on Instagram, so you'll be informed of all
1507
00:54:29,230 --> 00:54:30,990
the fun things that are coming your way.
1508
00:54:31,290 --> 00:54:33,170
Somebody says Chicago Diner.
1509
00:54:33,290 --> 00:54:35,090
Does this have any meaning for you?
1510
00:54:35,350 --> 00:54:36,970
I know what they're saying.
1511
00:54:37,050 --> 00:54:41,610
I know what they're saying, but just watch
1512
00:54:41,610 --> 00:54:42,290
Kale Crew.
1513
00:54:43,310 --> 00:54:44,150
All right.
1514
00:54:44,150 --> 00:54:45,590
I am so excited.
1515
00:54:45,950 --> 00:54:50,250
I literally have to say that this is
1516
00:54:50,250 --> 00:54:54,270
beyond my wildest expectations because you know what?
1517
00:54:54,690 --> 00:54:56,190
It's not easy putting together a show.
1518
00:54:56,450 --> 00:54:59,950
Let's give a shout out to Dajon, your
1519
00:54:59,950 --> 00:55:03,830
incredible videographer, editor who's done such a great
1520
00:55:03,830 --> 00:55:04,350
job.
1521
00:55:04,750 --> 00:55:05,970
It's a team effort.
1522
00:55:06,410 --> 00:55:09,050
Let me say that everybody is, I mean,
1523
00:55:09,130 --> 00:55:10,950
Nemanja and Tamika are volunteers.
1524
00:55:11,230 --> 00:55:11,990
I'm a volunteer.
1525
00:55:11,990 --> 00:55:13,150
None of us get paid.
1526
00:55:13,530 --> 00:55:15,790
We are here doing this to spread the
1527
00:55:15,790 --> 00:55:16,110
word.
1528
00:55:16,410 --> 00:55:19,010
I just want to say that people go,
1529
00:55:19,450 --> 00:55:19,550
really?
1530
00:55:19,850 --> 00:55:21,230
Aren't you monetising?
1531
00:55:21,390 --> 00:55:22,230
I go, you know what?
1532
00:55:22,950 --> 00:55:24,610
Money isn't going to mean that much if
1533
00:55:24,610 --> 00:55:27,130
we walk outside and can't walk a block
1534
00:55:27,130 --> 00:55:29,610
without collapsing because of the heat.
1535
00:55:30,250 --> 00:55:32,250
Money isn't going to mean that much if
1536
00:55:33,090 --> 00:55:35,690
our houses are destroyed or, as is happening
1537
00:55:35,690 --> 00:55:38,250
in California now, insurance companies don't want to
1538
00:55:38,250 --> 00:55:42,370
insure because there's so much risk involved.
1539
00:55:43,070 --> 00:55:47,530
While I'm nothing against money, We love money.
1540
00:55:47,850 --> 00:55:49,770
Yeah, we love money, but the point is
1541
00:55:49,770 --> 00:55:52,870
that this is a passion project and we
1542
00:55:52,870 --> 00:55:55,830
all share the same passion is to wake
1543
00:55:55,830 --> 00:55:57,010
people up.
1544
00:55:57,430 --> 00:55:59,530
We are pretty much out of time.
1545
00:56:00,050 --> 00:56:01,870
Ten seconds from each of you and then
1546
00:56:01,870 --> 00:56:03,150
we're going to call it a day.
1547
00:56:03,450 --> 00:56:03,970
Tamika?
1548
00:56:04,330 --> 00:56:05,930
I just want to say thanks so much
1549
00:56:05,930 --> 00:56:07,970
for having me and I really appreciate everybody
1550
00:56:07,970 --> 00:56:10,790
that tuned in and engaged with us and
1551
00:56:10,790 --> 00:56:13,050
also, Jane, I want you to know and
1552
00:56:13,050 --> 00:56:14,590
Neiman, I want you to know that the
1553
00:56:14,590 --> 00:56:18,050
money is coming because we're doing this as
1554
00:56:18,050 --> 00:56:20,810
a passion and a love and the content
1555
00:56:20,810 --> 00:56:23,250
is just so, so just awesome.
1556
00:56:23,410 --> 00:56:24,150
You can feel it.
1557
00:56:24,270 --> 00:56:25,510
You can feel the genuineness.
1558
00:56:25,630 --> 00:56:26,710
So I just want to say thank you
1559
00:56:26,710 --> 00:56:27,350
all so much.
1560
00:56:27,710 --> 00:56:29,910
Well, we thank you for your participation.
1561
00:56:30,730 --> 00:56:31,910
Namasha, ten seconds.
1562
00:56:32,610 --> 00:56:34,950
Thank you, Jane, for just taking a chance
1563
00:56:34,950 --> 00:56:35,290
with us.
1564
00:56:35,370 --> 00:56:37,050
Thank you, Tamika, for saying yes to me.
1565
00:56:37,150 --> 00:56:39,690
Thank you, Diane, for our videographer and editor
1566
00:56:39,690 --> 00:56:42,490
and thank you, Hungry Chaos, for tuning in
1567

00:01:01,210 --> 00:01:02,010
you today.
22
00:01:03,489 --> 00:01:08,890
Nemanja Golubovic and Tamika Price, two superstars from
23
00:01:08,890 --> 00:01:13,530
Chicagoland as the Midwest becomes the new vegan
24
00:01:13,530 --> 00:01:16,210
Mecca, and they've got a fabulous new show
25
00:01:16,210 --> 00:01:18,910
called Kale Crew on Unchained TV.
26
00:01:19,290 --> 00:01:20,690
It is tantalising.
27
00:01:20,890 --> 00:01:22,090
It is an adventure.
28
00:01:22,410 --> 00:01:25,070
It is so exciting, and you're going to
29
00:01:25,070 --> 00:01:27,530
meet the host today, Nemanja, who's also the
30
00:01:27,530 --> 00:01:30,490
owner of Kale My Name, and Tamika, who
31
00:01:30,490 --> 00:01:33,030
is a social media influencer, and guess what?
32
00:01:33,090 --> 00:01:35,550
They were matching outfits, as you can see.
33
00:01:36,130 --> 00:01:39,230
Kale Crew is so very exciting.
34
00:01:39,830 --> 00:01:42,950
These guys are going to really give you
35
00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:45,350
this look at Chicago.
36
00:01:45,990 --> 00:01:47,950
You know, people think that the vegan movement
37
00:01:47,950 --> 00:01:50,150
is sort of a New York, L.A.,
38
00:01:50,150 --> 00:01:51,170
Berlin thing.
39
00:01:51,450 --> 00:01:51,850
No.
40
00:01:52,470 --> 00:01:56,010
The Midwest is going vegan like crazy.
41
00:01:56,010 --> 00:01:58,770
They go to Alice and Friends restaurant at
42
00:01:58,770 --> 00:01:59,870
the Glen in Chicago.
43
00:02:00,170 --> 00:02:03,390
It is super, super fun, and without further
44
00:02:03,390 --> 00:02:06,830
ado, I would love you to meet these
45
00:02:06,830 --> 00:02:10,630
two powerhouses, so let's do it.
46
00:02:11,370 --> 00:02:13,870
Thank you so much for joining us, guys.
47
00:02:15,070 --> 00:02:16,950
Nemanja, I want to start with you because
48
00:02:16,950 --> 00:02:17,950
we got this idea.
49
00:02:18,330 --> 00:02:20,570
We were at a party together, and I
50
00:02:20,570 --> 00:02:23,810
said, wow, Chicago is an amazing vegan scene.
51
00:02:24,110 --> 00:02:25,130
Why don't we do a show?
52
00:02:25,130 --> 00:02:27,930
And you just said, yes, and next thing
53
00:02:27,930 --> 00:02:29,210
you know, boom, you did it.
54
00:02:29,810 --> 00:02:32,870
The next thing you know, I was texting
55
00:02:32,870 --> 00:02:36,850
Tamika because, in my mind, Tamika is the
56
00:02:36,850 --> 00:02:41,130
face of a vegan Chicago foodie, and she
57
00:02:41,130 --> 00:02:42,950
just does that normally.
58
00:02:43,170 --> 00:02:45,830
She goes to these places and often drugs
59
00:02:45,830 --> 00:02:48,950
me with her, so we just do that
60
00:02:48,950 --> 00:02:52,130
naturally, and when you mention it, that there
61
00:02:52,130 --> 00:02:55,010
is a lot of things that you have
62
00:02:55,010 --> 00:02:57,010
in New York, in L.A., and you
63
00:02:57,010 --> 00:02:59,450
didn't have in Chicago, I immediately thought of
64
00:02:59,450 --> 00:03:00,750
Tamika, and I was like, if I'm going
65
00:03:00,750 --> 00:03:02,410
to do this, it is going to be
66
00:03:02,410 --> 00:03:05,370
with her, so I immediately texted her, and
67
00:03:05,370 --> 00:03:07,330
she said, boo, you already know.
68
00:03:07,650 --> 00:03:08,770
We've been talking about this.
69
00:03:08,790 --> 00:03:10,090
We've been waiting for an email.
70
00:03:11,370 --> 00:03:13,770
I told you, Jane, send me an email,
71
00:03:14,430 --> 00:03:18,390
and the second that email was sent, we
72
00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:20,950
came to an agreement and the show started,
73
00:03:21,570 --> 00:03:21,690
so.
74
00:03:22,050 --> 00:03:26,510
So, Tamika, you bring such life energy, verb,
75
00:03:26,570 --> 00:03:28,890
sophistication to this show.
76
00:03:29,270 --> 00:03:29,570
Thank you.
77
00:03:29,930 --> 00:03:32,530
Tell us, you are a social media influencer.
78
00:03:32,810 --> 00:03:35,070
You've been on the Rachel Ray Show, WGN
79
00:03:35,070 --> 00:03:37,910
News, all sorts of media.
80
00:03:38,870 --> 00:03:40,950
Why is this a passion for you?
81
00:03:41,410 --> 00:03:42,450
Oh, my gosh.
82
00:03:42,690 --> 00:03:44,550
Jane, first of all, thank you for having
83
00:03:44,550 --> 00:03:44,730
me.
84
00:03:44,730 --> 00:03:48,170
And secondly, it's definitely a passion, because once
85
00:03:48,170 --> 00:03:50,970
I was able to realise just how much
86
00:03:50,970 --> 00:03:53,910
it's done for my health, how much it's
87
00:03:53,910 --> 00:03:56,750
done for, you know, just my overall quality
88
00:03:56,750 --> 00:03:58,990
of life, and then how I've fallen in
89
00:03:58,990 --> 00:04:01,510
love with animals, like, I want to farm.
90
00:04:01,650 --> 00:04:03,230
I had to just share the lifestyle.
91
00:04:03,450 --> 00:04:06,650
I said, if it helps one person, I'm
92
00:04:06,650 --> 00:04:07,410
doing my job.
93
00:04:07,470 --> 00:04:09,390
So, I just hopped on and just started
94
00:04:09,390 --> 00:04:11,230
having fun and just sharing and just wanted
95
00:04:11,230 --> 00:04:12,670
to connect with other people like me.
96
00:04:13,950 --> 00:04:16,410
Well, I want to show a clip, because
97
00:04:16,410 --> 00:04:18,769
this is such a fun show.
98
00:04:19,110 --> 00:04:21,410
Again, I kind of trusted Nemanja.
99
00:04:21,650 --> 00:04:23,730
He's extremely successful.
100
00:04:24,250 --> 00:04:26,830
Kale My Name Restaurant in Chicago is the
101
00:04:26,830 --> 00:04:27,270
bomb.
102
00:04:27,530 --> 00:04:29,090
Like, everybody talks about it.
103
00:04:29,110 --> 00:04:32,150
He is literally, when you say Kale My
104
00:04:32,150 --> 00:04:34,050
Name, everybody is like, wow.
105
00:04:34,370 --> 00:04:37,810
So, let's show a clip, because I think
106
00:04:37,810 --> 00:04:41,570
you've really, really woken me up about how
107
00:04:41,570 --> 00:04:45,950
extraordinary the vegan scene is in Chicago.
108
00:04:47,950 --> 00:04:49,750
Hello, Hungry Kales.
109
00:04:50,050 --> 00:04:52,250
Welcome to our show, Kale Crew.
110
00:04:52,650 --> 00:04:54,370
I'm a little hungry, Kale, today.
111
00:04:54,570 --> 00:04:56,250
You want to come on a tantalising adventure?
112
00:04:56,470 --> 00:04:56,950
Absolutely.
113
00:04:57,330 --> 00:04:58,210
I cannot wait.
114
00:04:58,350 --> 00:04:59,650
My name is Nemanja Golubovic.
115
00:04:59,750 --> 00:05:00,590
I'm Samika Price.
116
00:05:00,750 --> 00:05:03,830
And we are in Chicago, where vegan options
117
00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:04,830
are everywhere.
118
00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:07,330
North, south, east, west.
119
00:05:07,330 --> 00:05:10,430
Well, we cannot go that much east, because
120
00:05:10,430 --> 00:05:11,950
we're going to end up in a lake.
121
00:05:12,290 --> 00:05:13,030
Lake Michigan, okay.
122
00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:15,110
Okay, but we can go some other directions.
123
00:05:15,210 --> 00:05:15,430
Yes.
124
00:05:15,430 --> 00:05:16,590
So, where are we going today?
125
00:05:16,830 --> 00:05:18,610
Okay, so we're going right outside of Chicago
126
00:05:18,610 --> 00:05:19,690
in Cicero, Illinois.
127
00:05:19,930 --> 00:05:21,130
It's called Taste of Bree.
128
00:05:21,370 --> 00:05:23,950
They're known for their tantalising vegan eats and
129
00:05:23,950 --> 00:05:24,470
meal prep.
130
00:05:25,050 --> 00:05:25,410
Mm-hmm.
131
00:05:25,590 --> 00:05:26,430
I cannot wait.
132
00:05:26,510 --> 00:05:27,510
And that's west, right?
133
00:05:27,870 --> 00:05:28,550
Yes, it is just west.
134
00:05:28,550 --> 00:05:29,590
Let's run west.
135
00:05:29,730 --> 00:05:30,490
Oh, okay, okay.
136
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:30,690
Yes!
137
00:05:32,950 --> 00:05:36,470
I graduated from La Cordon Bleu, and I
138
00:05:36,470 --> 00:05:37,370
did a year there.
139
00:05:37,470 --> 00:05:38,370
I learned so much.
140
00:05:38,670 --> 00:05:40,810
And I really love making plant-based dishes.
141
00:05:40,950 --> 00:05:42,870
I feel like the creativity is endless.
142
00:05:43,450 --> 00:05:43,750
Yes.
143
00:05:43,770 --> 00:05:45,550
And you can just make so much, and
144
00:05:45,550 --> 00:05:46,230
it's good for you.
145
00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:49,750
So, that is so, you've made it fun.
146
00:05:49,930 --> 00:05:52,450
I mean, so many people consider veganism some
147
00:05:52,450 --> 00:05:53,410
kind of sacrifice.
148
00:05:54,370 --> 00:05:56,850
You really show them that it is the
149
00:05:56,850 --> 00:05:58,510
most fun lifestyle.
150
00:05:59,470 --> 00:06:01,090
I think it's a life...
151
00:06:01,090 --> 00:06:01,530
Go ahead.
152
00:06:01,610 --> 00:06:02,050
I'm sorry.
153
00:06:02,250 --> 00:06:03,130
No, hurry.
154
00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:05,450
Go ahead.
155
00:06:05,630 --> 00:06:05,930
What was it?
156
00:06:06,510 --> 00:06:07,250
I'm sorry.
157
00:06:07,470 --> 00:06:09,230
I was just going to say, when you
158
00:06:09,230 --> 00:06:11,010
said that, Jane, it just instantly made me
159
00:06:11,010 --> 00:06:12,870
think, like, I truly feel like this vegan
160
00:06:12,870 --> 00:06:16,030
lifestyle is a life of abundance and joy.
161
00:06:17,850 --> 00:06:20,310
It is, and that's the thing.
162
00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:23,950
It's like trying to convince people, Namanja, that
163
00:06:23,950 --> 00:06:26,770
this is not a sacrifice, that it's a
164
00:06:26,770 --> 00:06:28,410
really glorious adventure.
165
00:06:28,610 --> 00:06:30,830
You're making that happen with this show.
166
00:06:30,930 --> 00:06:33,630
It is really an adventure because I start
167
00:06:33,630 --> 00:06:35,210
from my personal experience.
168
00:06:35,690 --> 00:06:39,250
I immediately thought, before I was vegan and
169
00:06:39,250 --> 00:06:42,710
unaware, I thought that it's restrictive, that I'm
170
00:06:42,710 --> 00:06:43,950
going to give something up.
171
00:06:44,010 --> 00:06:45,850
But it's so not true.
172
00:06:46,030 --> 00:06:48,650
There's a whole new world that you get
173
00:06:48,650 --> 00:06:51,530
to explore and enjoy, and so many things,
174
00:06:51,570 --> 00:06:53,190
I didn't even know it existed.
175
00:06:53,190 --> 00:06:55,510
Back in time, when I would be eating
176
00:06:55,510 --> 00:06:58,290
everything, as people would say, I wasn't just
177
00:06:58,290 --> 00:06:58,950
eating everything.
178
00:06:59,110 --> 00:07:02,810
I would be eating three different dead meats
179
00:07:02,810 --> 00:07:06,310
and potatoes, and that would be my lunch
180
00:07:06,310 --> 00:07:09,150
and dinner over and over and over and
181
00:07:09,150 --> 00:07:10,930
for the majority of my adult life.
182
00:07:11,310 --> 00:07:13,290
And then once I discovered the vegan food,
183
00:07:13,370 --> 00:07:14,830
now I'm like, what else is out there?
184
00:07:14,950 --> 00:07:17,130
You're discovering a jackfruit and all the fun
185
00:07:17,130 --> 00:07:19,030
ways that you can be preparing them, and
186
00:07:19,030 --> 00:07:21,610
I'm discovering more things.
187
00:07:22,170 --> 00:07:24,250
I don't know, how to make your own
188
00:07:24,250 --> 00:07:26,270
seitan, how to make your own proteins.
189
00:07:27,510 --> 00:07:30,230
Even some fruits, I just fell in love
190
00:07:30,230 --> 00:07:31,950
with a dragon fruit that I didn't even
191
00:07:31,950 --> 00:07:33,350
know it existed before.
192
00:07:33,690 --> 00:07:35,150
So many things.
193
00:07:35,350 --> 00:07:38,350
Tempeh, I never heard of it before going
194
00:07:38,350 --> 00:07:38,710
vegan.
195
00:07:39,710 --> 00:07:42,510
There is so much, and I'm honestly exploring
196
00:07:42,510 --> 00:07:44,270
something new every day.
197
00:07:44,270 --> 00:07:48,050
Just yesterday, Tamika and I ate a chips
198
00:07:48,050 --> 00:07:50,210
that was made out of beets, and I
199
00:07:50,210 --> 00:07:52,210
was like, who thought of this?
200
00:07:52,370 --> 00:07:54,510
This is such a good chips.
201
00:07:54,670 --> 00:07:58,150
And I'm like, there is something new every
202
00:07:58,150 --> 00:08:01,650
single day, and that's what veganism is all
203
00:08:01,650 --> 00:08:02,010
about.
204
00:08:02,210 --> 00:08:05,170
It is absolutely not restrictive, but it opens
205
00:08:05,170 --> 00:08:09,270
so many new doors that are just incredible.
206
00:08:09,270 --> 00:08:12,310
And what it can do to you, it's
207
00:08:12,310 --> 00:08:14,650
almost like a magical miracle.
208
00:08:14,750 --> 00:08:16,330
That's what your show does.
209
00:08:16,450 --> 00:08:17,510
It shows people.
210
00:08:17,650 --> 00:08:18,930
So we're going to go to the callers.
211
00:08:19,330 --> 00:08:22,390
Paige in Los Angeles, your question or thought
212
00:08:22,390 --> 00:08:23,470
for Nemanja and Tamika.
213
00:08:25,550 --> 00:08:28,570
Oh my gosh, I just love your show.
214
00:08:28,850 --> 00:08:30,070
You guys are amazing.
215
00:08:31,530 --> 00:08:32,350
Thank you.
216
00:08:32,490 --> 00:08:33,570
Here's my question.
217
00:08:35,990 --> 00:08:38,570
What is your biggest challenge?
218
00:08:38,570 --> 00:08:40,570
And I want to hear from each one
219
00:08:40,570 --> 00:08:40,850
of you.
220
00:08:41,010 --> 00:08:44,850
What are your challenges on making the show,
221
00:08:45,370 --> 00:08:46,430
being vegan?
222
00:08:47,010 --> 00:08:47,970
Pick one.
223
00:08:48,530 --> 00:08:49,110
Thank you.
224
00:08:49,630 --> 00:08:50,430
Good question.
225
00:08:51,010 --> 00:08:53,010
What are your biggest challenges, Nemanja?
226
00:08:53,090 --> 00:08:54,890
Because you walk around town like you ain't
227
00:08:54,890 --> 00:08:56,250
got no challenges.
228
00:08:58,550 --> 00:09:00,470
It feels that way.
229
00:09:00,810 --> 00:09:04,270
I would mostly say not as challenging as
230
00:09:04,270 --> 00:09:07,550
making the show, because that's been really a
231
00:09:07,550 --> 00:09:09,010
smooth experience for us.
232
00:09:09,250 --> 00:09:10,770
And the reason for that is because we
233
00:09:10,770 --> 00:09:12,210
both enjoyed so much.
234
00:09:12,610 --> 00:09:13,350
We love it.
235
00:09:13,450 --> 00:09:15,150
We are texting each other the day before
236
00:09:15,150 --> 00:09:15,890
shooting an episode.
237
00:09:16,050 --> 00:09:17,270
We are going like, oh my God, we
238
00:09:17,270 --> 00:09:17,950
are so excited.
239
00:09:18,390 --> 00:09:19,830
And we just know we're going to have
240
00:09:19,830 --> 00:09:21,990
a great time, because that's our experience.
241
00:09:22,090 --> 00:09:23,190
And those are our personalities.
242
00:09:23,530 --> 00:09:25,250
So when it comes to shooting a show,
243
00:09:25,330 --> 00:09:26,650
there is not much of a challenge.
244
00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:27,910
Well, there would be one.
245
00:09:28,010 --> 00:09:30,490
We cannot go to every single place out
246
00:09:30,490 --> 00:09:30,770
there.
247
00:09:31,130 --> 00:09:33,090
Because Tamika said one fun thing to me
248
00:09:33,090 --> 00:09:35,430
when I said, oh, you know, we're doing
249
00:09:35,430 --> 00:09:36,130
a season one.
250
00:09:36,130 --> 00:09:37,430
We know we're doing the 10 episodes.
251
00:09:37,710 --> 00:09:40,910
We will see if we are doing this
252
00:09:40,910 --> 00:09:41,250
more.
253
00:09:41,550 --> 00:09:43,150
And then Tamika said, boo, we can be
254
00:09:43,150 --> 00:09:44,270
doing this for years.
255
00:09:44,630 --> 00:09:48,930
Because there's so many places where we can
256
00:09:48,930 --> 00:09:49,210
go.
257
00:09:49,650 --> 00:09:51,170
So that would be the challenge, that we
258
00:09:51,170 --> 00:09:53,650
cannot make every single restaurant in Chicago that
259
00:09:53,650 --> 00:09:54,290
we want to.
260
00:09:54,730 --> 00:09:55,670
But we'll try.
261
00:09:56,910 --> 00:09:58,850
Well, you know, it's funny you should say
262
00:09:58,850 --> 00:09:59,070
that.
263
00:09:59,130 --> 00:10:01,510
Because, OK, I'm going to confess.
264
00:10:01,570 --> 00:10:02,970
When you said, I'm going to do a
265
00:10:02,970 --> 00:10:04,630
show, I thought, well, how many episodes?
266
00:10:04,630 --> 00:10:06,490
Because how many vegan restaurants do they have
267
00:10:06,490 --> 00:10:06,850
in Chicago?
268
00:10:07,050 --> 00:10:08,410
And I've been blown away.
269
00:10:08,590 --> 00:10:10,130
And over the course of this hour, you're
270
00:10:10,130 --> 00:10:11,490
going to see that they have an entire
271
00:10:11,490 --> 00:10:14,170
vegan, not just supermarket, like a mall.
272
00:10:14,550 --> 00:10:15,850
I mean, it's mind-blowing.
273
00:10:15,950 --> 00:10:17,750
And I didn't know about this till I
274
00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:18,850
saw Kale My Name.
275
00:10:18,970 --> 00:10:20,870
So watch it on Unchained TV.
276
00:10:21,290 --> 00:10:22,710
We've got more callers.
277
00:10:23,070 --> 00:10:26,230
Niloufar in Dallas, Texas, then followed by Tiffany.
278
00:10:26,370 --> 00:10:26,730
Niloufar.
279
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:29,640
Hi.
280
00:10:29,860 --> 00:10:32,320
In general, restaurants have a 60% to
281
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,020
80% failure rate.
282
00:10:34,020 --> 00:10:37,060
What inspired you to leave a very successful
283
00:10:37,060 --> 00:10:40,860
career in hospital management and to launch a
284
00:10:40,860 --> 00:10:44,520
potentially risky vegan restaurant?
285
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:46,640
Wow.
286
00:10:46,980 --> 00:10:49,520
I like your provocative questions.
287
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,940
OK, Nemanja, take it away.
288
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,500
We can't get away from the fact that
289
00:10:56,500 --> 00:10:57,740
this is very true.
290
00:10:57,860 --> 00:11:00,060
The restaurants are like one of the highest
291
00:11:00,060 --> 00:11:01,160
failing businesses.
292
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,160
And the majority of them fails only within
293
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,440
the first year because it's a rough business.
294
00:11:05,540 --> 00:11:07,220
And I think it's even rougher for the
295
00:11:07,220 --> 00:11:11,500
vegans because we are counting on that particular
296
00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:13,860
community and niche to come and support us.
297
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,660
But what I had in mind is creating
298
00:11:16,660 --> 00:11:19,000
the food that everyone's going to like.
299
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,040
So in the sense that I don't depend
300
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:21,660
on the vegans.
301
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,180
All you need to do is try.
302
00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:26,740
And I have a good way around convincing
303
00:11:26,740 --> 00:11:28,660
people just to try the food when I
304
00:11:28,660 --> 00:11:30,140
slip them a cauliflower wing.
305
00:11:30,140 --> 00:11:33,660
Then they are kill my name customer lifetime.
306
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,080
They don't even have to be vegan.
307
00:11:35,260 --> 00:11:36,140
They keep coming.
308
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,000
And honestly, like I gave it all in
309
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:40,280
this.
310
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,340
Like I entered with my entire heart.
311
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,980
And I think that's the reason why it's
312
00:11:44,980 --> 00:11:45,860
our fifth year.
313
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,640
We've been four and a half years in
314
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,460
Chicago and now in the two locations.
315
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,380
And I think the reason for that success
316
00:11:52,380 --> 00:11:54,320
is my passion for it.
317
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,060
I'm extremely passionate about veganism and also the
318
00:11:57,060 --> 00:11:58,760
food that is for everyone.
319
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,340
So that I don't have to count on
320
00:12:00,340 --> 00:12:02,160
vegans because sadly, like I'm going to be
321
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,280
honest with you, if only vegans aided kill
322
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,180
my name, we would not be able to
323
00:12:06,180 --> 00:12:09,840
live because there are many vegans, but it's
324
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,340
just not enough for every single day for
325
00:12:12,340 --> 00:12:14,840
us to put like 100 to 200 orders
326
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,160
out there, how much it's needed for us
327
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,140
to operate smoothly.
328
00:12:18,300 --> 00:12:22,580
So I feel like a good food, a
329
00:12:22,580 --> 00:12:25,040
passion, a hard work and a good team.
330
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:26,500
Absolutely.
331
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:27,020
Okay.
332
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,420
We've got more callers.
333
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,600
Tiffany in Los Angeles, your question or thought
334
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,080
for the Stars of Kale crew.
335
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:36,240
Yes.
336
00:12:36,340 --> 00:12:37,780
Good afternoon, Jane.
337
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,520
And I just discovered the show from Unchained
338
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,360
TV in the last couple of weeks.
339
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,460
And I've been obsessed.
340
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,680
I love both of your chemistry together.
341
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:48,920
And it just, I want to go to
342
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,080
Chicago and go to the vegan places.
343
00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:53,980
I was wondering, have you thought about taking
344
00:12:53,980 --> 00:12:55,620
it on the road, the show?
345
00:12:55,620 --> 00:12:57,040
I mean, I guess it would be expensive,
346
00:12:57,340 --> 00:12:59,860
but have you thought about visiting some other
347
00:12:59,860 --> 00:13:01,120
states or areas?
348
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:02,440
Wow.
349
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:03,160
Good question.
350
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,460
Tameka, you are a very successful social influencer
351
00:13:07,460 --> 00:13:10,080
and you're also a very busy lady, but
352
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:10,840
wow.
353
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,780
Since everybody's loving the show, what do you
354
00:13:12,780 --> 00:13:13,040
think?
355
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:16,020
I love hearing stuff like that so much.
356
00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:18,580
And not only have I thought about it,
357
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,140
like, like I just get grander plans.
358
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,460
Like I know that that is something that
359
00:13:23,460 --> 00:13:24,360
can totally happen.
360
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,280
So hopefully it'll be on Unchained TV and
361
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,100
then we can go all across the world.
362
00:13:29,220 --> 00:13:30,460
That would just be so awesome.
363
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,380
And your chemistry together, which a couple, several
364
00:13:34,380 --> 00:13:36,220
people have mentioned, is so amazing.
365
00:13:36,660 --> 00:13:38,840
You have, it's clear that you're having fun.
366
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:39,560
Yes.
367
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,160
When you have fun, the viewer has fun.
368
00:13:42,620 --> 00:13:45,680
So what, what is the secret to your
369
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:49,280
tantalising, adventurous chemistry, Tameka?
370
00:13:50,060 --> 00:13:51,720
We're just, we're friends.
371
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,600
Like Neiman invited me to like a Halloween
372
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,820
party at Kale My Name, a birthday party.
373
00:13:58,820 --> 00:14:00,480
And we just started hanging out more and
374
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:00,820
more.
375
00:14:01,340 --> 00:14:04,200
And I'm just like, he is hilarious to
376
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:04,360
me.
377
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:05,420
He cracks me up.
378
00:14:05,940 --> 00:14:08,380
If I'm feeling a little low energy being
379
00:14:08,380 --> 00:14:10,500
around Neiman, that's going to change in a
380
00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:10,980
hot second.
381
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,240
So I think that we just really bounce
382
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,720
off vibrancy off of each other.
383
00:14:16,820 --> 00:14:17,700
So it just works.
384
00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:20,240
And the show is so much fun to
385
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:20,540
watch.
386
00:14:20,540 --> 00:14:23,300
Again, Kale Crew streaming on Unchained TV.
387
00:14:23,860 --> 00:14:26,660
And literally I feel like I'm taking a
388
00:14:26,660 --> 00:14:31,020
flight to Chicago every time I watch another
389
00:14:31,020 --> 00:14:34,220
episode and learning all about these different neighbourhoods,
390
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,780
like the Glen and all sorts of Cicero.
391
00:14:38,260 --> 00:14:39,380
I had no idea.
392
00:14:39,580 --> 00:14:41,580
I've been, I was in Chicago once during
393
00:14:41,580 --> 00:14:44,660
a snowstorm for 24 hours and it's a
394
00:14:44,660 --> 00:14:44,900
blur.
395
00:14:45,260 --> 00:14:47,280
So thank you for turning us on to
396
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:48,840
the Midwest vegan scene.
397
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:49,720
All right.
398
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,880
We've got Michael followed by Michelle, followed by
399
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:53,240
Lindsey.
400
00:14:53,420 --> 00:14:54,740
Michael, your question or thought?
401
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,540
Oh, hey, thank you.
402
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,560
By the way, I love your guys' energy
403
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:00,060
together.
404
00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:01,160
It's really amazing.
405
00:15:02,060 --> 00:15:04,980
But my question basically is, what was the
406
00:15:04,980 --> 00:15:06,640
thing that made you go vegan in the
407
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:07,160
first place?
408
00:15:07,260 --> 00:15:09,040
Personally for me, I did it for the
409
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:09,440
animals.
410
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,560
But I love it when people go vegan
411
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,280
maybe for health or, you know, diet reasons,
412
00:15:15,420 --> 00:15:15,660
whatever.
413
00:15:15,660 --> 00:15:18,500
And then they become, you know, they realise
414
00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:21,280
the connection between animals and, you know, food.
415
00:15:21,820 --> 00:15:23,700
So I'd love to hear like, you know,
416
00:15:23,740 --> 00:15:25,220
just really shortly your journey.
417
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:26,420
I'm with you, Michael.
418
00:15:26,820 --> 00:15:27,560
Thank you.
419
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:28,740
I'm with you.
420
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:29,740
That was my reason.
421
00:15:30,260 --> 00:15:32,180
So Tamika can answer differently.
422
00:15:33,260 --> 00:15:33,620
Yeah.
423
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:35,640
Thank you for that.
424
00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:37,860
I initially started for health.
425
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,800
I battled with asthma and I watched What
426
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,260
the Health after, you know, dealing with doctor
427
00:15:44,260 --> 00:15:45,880
visits and inhalers.
428
00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:47,600
And I was in, like, I developed it
429
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,080
in my 20s and I was so confused
430
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,360
as to why that could be.
431
00:15:51,980 --> 00:15:53,940
So watching What the Health, it, you know,
432
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,240
it really focused on the health aspect of
433
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:56,860
that.
434
00:15:57,020 --> 00:15:58,820
So when I did do it, I said,
435
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,300
OK, I'm going to give it 30 days.
436
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,260
And within a week and a half, my
437
00:16:03,260 --> 00:16:04,620
asthma completely cleared up.
438
00:16:05,180 --> 00:16:07,220
And so I just I've been sticking with
439
00:16:07,220 --> 00:16:10,440
this lifestyle since 2019 solid.
440
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,380
And the way that it's just, again, transformed
441
00:16:14,380 --> 00:16:17,480
my entire quality of life and really heightened
442
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,600
my compassion for, you know, animals.
443
00:16:20,780 --> 00:16:23,280
So I always tell people, if you're like
444
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,120
on the fence about the lifestyle, if you
445
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,860
feel that nudge or that pull, definitely immerse
446
00:16:27,860 --> 00:16:31,100
yourselves in the in all of the documentaries
447
00:16:31,100 --> 00:16:32,660
that are available to us.
448
00:16:32,660 --> 00:16:35,540
So watching all the ones that are for
449
00:16:35,540 --> 00:16:38,260
health, but also that are about animal agriculture,
450
00:16:38,260 --> 00:16:41,400
because I truly know like when we know
451
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,720
better, we tend to do better.
452
00:16:42,940 --> 00:16:43,660
So thank you.
453
00:16:43,660 --> 00:16:45,000
I'm going to ask you a follow up.
454
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,540
We got a bunch of callers, but you're
455
00:16:46,540 --> 00:16:49,020
saying to me you were suffering from asthma.
456
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,240
Your life was miserable.
457
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:51,500
You were going to doctors.
458
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,180
They were giving you inhalers and you went
459
00:16:54,180 --> 00:16:57,180
vegan after watching What the Health and boom,
460
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,200
your asthma went away.
461
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,780
You want to know what's crazy, Jane, is
462
00:17:01,780 --> 00:17:04,720
I remember being in in my car and
463
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:05,880
I had an asthma attack.
464
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:10,200
And this was when I was first experiencing
465
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,480
asthmatic types of symptoms.
466
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,440
And I had an asthma attack in my
467
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,180
car literally out of nowhere.
468
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,619
There was no warning for it.
469
00:17:17,660 --> 00:17:20,160
And I honestly, honestly thought I was going
470
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:20,640
to die.
471
00:17:20,980 --> 00:17:24,119
I thought, OK, should I pull into a
472
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,960
pharmacy and just ask for an inhaler?
473
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,800
And just thank goodness, it just ended up
474
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,860
dissipating and passing on its own.
475
00:17:32,140 --> 00:17:33,880
But that was definitely a wake up call
476
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:34,260
for me.
477
00:17:34,260 --> 00:17:36,100
So that's when I got on my laptop
478
00:17:36,100 --> 00:17:38,640
the next day and I was like, I
479
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,620
have to figure out a natural way to
480
00:17:40,620 --> 00:17:42,780
cure this because this cannot be my this
481
00:17:42,780 --> 00:17:44,140
cannot be my quality of life.
482
00:17:44,980 --> 00:17:45,260
Wow.
483
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,780
And so it's that's truly, though, like an
484
00:17:49,780 --> 00:17:51,020
endorsement of veganism.
485
00:17:51,100 --> 00:17:53,260
And I hear these stories all the time.
486
00:17:53,260 --> 00:17:55,440
And yet you go to doctors and hey,
487
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:56,760
I'm a believer in doctors.
488
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:57,820
I go every year.
489
00:17:58,020 --> 00:18:01,100
I you know, but this you know, I've
490
00:18:01,100 --> 00:18:03,200
been given an inhaler, actually, because when I
491
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,500
was living in Manhattan, it was such smog.
492
00:18:06,820 --> 00:18:09,060
And I realised I don't need this.
493
00:18:09,140 --> 00:18:10,160
I don't need this.
494
00:18:10,580 --> 00:18:11,420
It's amazing.
495
00:18:11,780 --> 00:18:14,120
So let's go to the rest of our
496
00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:14,700
callers.
497
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,820
We've got so many more clips to play
498
00:18:16,820 --> 00:18:17,700
for you guys.
499
00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:22,120
OK, we got Michelle in Los Angeles.
500
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,080
Your question or thought for the Stars of
501
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:24,720
Kale crew.
502
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,780
Hi, you two fabulous people.
503
00:18:28,780 --> 00:18:33,380
Your show and you two are so enthusiastic
504
00:18:33,380 --> 00:18:35,640
and passionate and it's so genuine.
505
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:36,660
It comes across.
506
00:18:36,780 --> 00:18:38,040
I wanted to thank you for that.
507
00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:40,220
I want to know, how do you pick
508
00:18:40,220 --> 00:18:40,980
your restaurants?
509
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,220
And specifically, each of you, what are your
510
00:18:44,220 --> 00:18:46,320
favourite foods that are vegan?
511
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,500
And which do you think tastes the most
512
00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:50,660
like the regular meat foods?
513
00:18:51,460 --> 00:18:52,900
Oh, Nemanja, you want to hit it?
514
00:18:53,260 --> 00:18:53,780
Yes.
515
00:18:53,780 --> 00:18:56,700
One thing that we have to agree on
516
00:18:56,700 --> 00:18:58,840
when we are picking a restaurant, we both
517
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,200
have to like it, OK, which is not
518
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,060
a hard thing because we are food lovers
519
00:19:03,060 --> 00:19:05,060
and like we love a lot of food.
520
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,460
And honestly, some of the places we went
521
00:19:07,460 --> 00:19:09,320
to are like mutual favourites.
522
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:15,020
Lately, lately for me, I've been more into
523
00:19:15,020 --> 00:19:17,940
like health food and I really love to
524
00:19:17,940 --> 00:19:21,300
explore like eating mostly food that it's fully
525
00:19:21,300 --> 00:19:22,760
focused on a plant.
526
00:19:23,940 --> 00:19:26,980
Rather than the mimic of a meat, I
527
00:19:26,980 --> 00:19:28,960
mentioned I went vegan for the animals now
528
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,020
that I didn't like meat.
529
00:19:30,100 --> 00:19:30,760
I loved it.
530
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,880
So meat substitutes were great for me.
531
00:19:33,660 --> 00:19:36,920
But lately, I just been really into that.
532
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,580
And right now we are seeing that broccoli
533
00:19:39,580 --> 00:19:41,920
situation that was like so good.
534
00:19:42,420 --> 00:19:44,320
And that's how we how we decide.
535
00:19:44,460 --> 00:19:45,680
We both have to like it.
536
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,160
And then it has to have something that
537
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,060
we just love on the menu.
538
00:19:50,060 --> 00:19:55,180
And the herbivore next door is putting out
539
00:19:55,180 --> 00:19:56,680
some of the episodes.
540
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:02,640
You can go to watch.UnchainedTV.com and
541
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,700
you can see all the episodes or you
542
00:20:04,700 --> 00:20:09,400
can just go to UnchainedTV.com and just
543
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:16,240
literally just click on UnchainedTV.com.
544
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,480
There's a button that says streaming and all
545
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,900
the episodes pop right on.
546
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:21,800
It's so easy.
547
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,060
Everything is free.
548
00:20:23,300 --> 00:20:24,440
We do not charge.
549
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,940
We are a 501c3 nonprofit.
550
00:20:27,500 --> 00:20:29,880
Our sole aim is to get people to
551
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,560
watch this content so they can see that
552
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,820
going plant-based is an adventure.
553
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,120
We're a happy group.
554
00:20:36,580 --> 00:20:37,740
We're not a glum lot.
555
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,840
Man, we are having a good time.
556
00:20:39,940 --> 00:20:42,400
I mean, one of my biggest challenges is
557
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,320
can I go to all these parties?
558
00:20:44,500 --> 00:20:46,000
Can I go to all these restaurants?
559
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,260
Can I experience all this fun stuff?
560
00:20:48,540 --> 00:20:50,260
There's only 24 hours in the day.
561
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,220
Okay, Lindsay and Tarzana, your question or thought
562
00:20:54,220 --> 00:20:57,660
for the stars of Kale Crew on UnchainedTV.
563
00:20:59,510 --> 00:21:03,210
I'm just so excited to hear that Chicago
564
00:21:03,210 --> 00:21:06,690
has such a large vegan community because like
565
00:21:06,690 --> 00:21:10,310
Jane, I was there many years ago and
566
00:21:10,310 --> 00:21:14,390
there was like nowhere to eat, but it's
567
00:21:14,390 --> 00:21:14,850
wonderful.
568
00:21:14,850 --> 00:21:17,370
And I just wonder if you have any
569
00:21:17,370 --> 00:21:22,030
advice for people just turning vegan in terms
570
00:21:22,030 --> 00:21:24,330
of, you know, how do they do it
571
00:21:24,330 --> 00:21:24,930
at home?
572
00:21:25,070 --> 00:21:27,610
Like, do you have some easy or some
573
00:21:27,610 --> 00:21:30,090
advice of how to find easy recipes they
574
00:21:30,090 --> 00:21:31,590
can do when they first start out?
575
00:21:32,190 --> 00:21:33,210
Thank you.
576
00:21:33,230 --> 00:21:35,990
I have perfect advice for that because like,
577
00:21:36,130 --> 00:21:38,430
as I just previously mentioned, like I went
578
00:21:38,430 --> 00:21:40,470
vegan for the animals, so like I wanted
579
00:21:40,470 --> 00:21:41,230
all the foods.
580
00:21:41,230 --> 00:21:43,390
So I think the most beautiful advice for
581
00:21:43,390 --> 00:21:45,850
everyone going vegan is to try to eat
582
00:21:45,850 --> 00:21:48,690
the same foods that they normally eat, but
583
00:21:48,690 --> 00:21:49,690
just the vegan version.
584
00:21:50,030 --> 00:21:52,650
There is now available vegan version of everything.
585
00:21:53,170 --> 00:21:55,630
I cannot think of the foods that you
586
00:21:55,630 --> 00:21:56,570
cannot make vegan.
587
00:21:56,810 --> 00:21:58,590
So what do you normally eat?
588
00:21:58,630 --> 00:21:59,270
It's the best.
589
00:21:59,350 --> 00:22:00,390
That's how I started.
590
00:22:00,530 --> 00:22:02,310
And later on, I learned to love some
591
00:22:02,310 --> 00:22:02,630
things.
592
00:22:02,730 --> 00:22:05,030
Like I just, my love for plants increased
593
00:22:05,030 --> 00:22:05,710
over time.
594
00:22:05,710 --> 00:22:08,270
Like I remember I didn't like tomato.
595
00:22:08,270 --> 00:22:10,270
Like now I'm eating tomato as if it
596
00:22:10,270 --> 00:22:12,210
was apple, just like, just like that.
597
00:22:12,350 --> 00:22:14,850
So I think that's the best way to
598
00:22:14,850 --> 00:22:17,330
start what you would normally eat as a
599
00:22:17,330 --> 00:22:19,430
non-vegan, but try to make that as
600
00:22:19,430 --> 00:22:19,970
a vegan version.
601
00:22:20,070 --> 00:22:21,950
When it comes to recipes, there's so many
602
00:22:21,950 --> 00:22:22,330
available.
603
00:22:22,590 --> 00:22:26,650
There's so many books, internet, luckily in 2024,
604
00:22:26,910 --> 00:22:27,590
it's so accessible.
605
00:22:27,750 --> 00:22:30,190
You can find a free recipe for everything.
606
00:22:30,690 --> 00:22:32,830
So I would start, I would start that
607
00:22:32,830 --> 00:22:33,110
way.
608
00:22:33,530 --> 00:22:33,970
Okay.
609
00:22:33,970 --> 00:22:37,790
I would start at unchainedtv.com, where we
610
00:22:37,790 --> 00:22:40,310
have thousands of recipes and we have a
611
00:22:40,310 --> 00:22:42,810
video that explains each and every recipe.
612
00:22:43,070 --> 00:22:44,910
And then you have the entire recipe.
613
00:22:45,170 --> 00:22:47,450
So I just put up a category called
614
00:22:47,450 --> 00:22:47,790
desserts.
615
00:22:48,090 --> 00:22:50,030
I woke up and I go, you know,
616
00:22:50,270 --> 00:22:51,050
I love desserts.
617
00:22:51,270 --> 00:22:53,110
Why the hell don't I have a category
618
00:22:53,110 --> 00:22:54,590
that just takes us to vegan desserts?
619
00:22:54,790 --> 00:22:57,050
So lickety split, I put up a category
620
00:22:57,050 --> 00:23:00,130
and I'm telling you these desserts, I look
621
00:23:00,130 --> 00:23:01,450
at, I look at the images and I'm
622
00:23:01,450 --> 00:23:02,710
like, I want to make it right now.
623
00:23:02,710 --> 00:23:03,530
And they're healthy.
624
00:23:03,890 --> 00:23:05,930
Like we have Chef AJ, we have, she
625
00:23:05,930 --> 00:23:09,490
does incredible desserts without any sugar.
626
00:23:09,630 --> 00:23:10,350
She uses dates.
627
00:23:10,350 --> 00:23:11,010
I love that.
628
00:23:11,390 --> 00:23:12,650
It's absolutely amazing.
629
00:23:13,110 --> 00:23:15,430
Well, this is just so fun.
630
00:23:15,710 --> 00:23:19,770
I want to ask you about Chicago, but
631
00:23:19,770 --> 00:23:22,350
first what I'd like to do is play
632
00:23:22,350 --> 00:23:23,510
another clip.
633
00:23:23,850 --> 00:23:26,710
And this is a clip of Plant X.
634
00:23:26,710 --> 00:23:30,130
I was not aware that there was a
635
00:23:30,130 --> 00:23:34,990
vegan, literally shopping centre in Chicago.
636
00:23:35,290 --> 00:23:37,390
And I only found out when I was
637
00:23:37,390 --> 00:23:40,910
watching your show on Unchained TV.
638
00:23:41,190 --> 00:23:44,070
Did you know Chicago has entirely vegan food
639
00:23:44,070 --> 00:23:47,170
hall with six vegan restaurants inside, grocery store
640
00:23:47,170 --> 00:23:47,930
and vegan bar?
641
00:23:48,250 --> 00:23:50,250
Well, you're about to find out.
642
00:23:50,290 --> 00:23:52,010
I'm feeling like these Los Tamales.
643
00:23:52,190 --> 00:23:52,770
Tamales.
644
00:23:52,950 --> 00:23:55,850
And I think I am feeling Los Tacos.
645
00:23:55,850 --> 00:23:59,090
And now we are in front of the
646
00:23:59,090 --> 00:23:59,590
Bodega.
647
00:23:59,910 --> 00:24:00,250
Yes.
648
00:24:00,290 --> 00:24:01,390
That's a new word for me.
649
00:24:01,670 --> 00:24:02,110
Bodega.
650
00:24:02,390 --> 00:24:04,010
I didn't know what that meant, but explain
651
00:24:04,010 --> 00:24:04,510
to me.
652
00:24:04,790 --> 00:24:07,010
It's kind of a smaller version of a
653
00:24:07,010 --> 00:24:07,590
grocery store.
654
00:24:07,670 --> 00:24:07,830
Yes.
655
00:24:07,830 --> 00:24:08,350
Which one you got?
656
00:24:08,470 --> 00:24:10,090
I get the Herbed Feta and then I
657
00:24:10,090 --> 00:24:11,270
will make it with chickpea pasta.
658
00:24:11,410 --> 00:24:12,610
And then I just melt it in with
659
00:24:12,610 --> 00:24:15,190
the pasta and it's easy breezy and it's
660
00:24:15,190 --> 00:24:15,770
tantalising.
661
00:24:17,210 --> 00:24:18,090
Oh my gosh.
662
00:24:18,210 --> 00:24:19,970
Easy breezy and tantalising.
663
00:24:21,990 --> 00:24:24,050
I want to say, first of all, I'm
664
00:24:24,050 --> 00:24:25,330
a huge fan of Plant X.
665
00:24:25,670 --> 00:24:29,070
There is a Plant X market here in
666
00:24:29,070 --> 00:24:31,510
Venice, California, where I live.
667
00:24:31,650 --> 00:24:34,050
And I go there all the time and
668
00:24:34,050 --> 00:24:35,350
it's absolutely fabulous.
669
00:24:35,910 --> 00:24:38,910
Like I go in, I always find something
670
00:24:38,910 --> 00:24:39,310
incredible.
671
00:24:39,470 --> 00:24:41,390
They have all the latest vegan products.
672
00:24:42,050 --> 00:24:43,350
So, wow.
673
00:24:44,590 --> 00:24:47,730
Where is Chicago when it comes to the
674
00:24:47,730 --> 00:24:48,770
big vegan cities?
675
00:24:48,770 --> 00:24:53,170
You deserve more respect, my friends, in Chicago.
676
00:24:53,930 --> 00:24:54,290
I agree.
677
00:24:54,710 --> 00:24:57,030
Tell me about that, Tamika, because people talk
678
00:24:57,030 --> 00:24:59,150
about LA, New York, Berlin, and London.
679
00:25:00,010 --> 00:25:03,290
Well, I just, in my opinion, Chicago is
680
00:25:03,290 --> 00:25:05,410
one of those cities that is a food
681
00:25:05,410 --> 00:25:05,750
city.
682
00:25:05,970 --> 00:25:07,210
Everybody knows it.
683
00:25:07,590 --> 00:25:10,210
So, like, it's really an honour to be
684
00:25:10,210 --> 00:25:14,530
able to help make that also true for
685
00:25:14,530 --> 00:25:15,390
vegan food.
686
00:25:15,390 --> 00:25:19,010
So, there's this, I'm telling you, I still
687
00:25:19,010 --> 00:25:20,710
have not been to a bunch of places.
688
00:25:21,210 --> 00:25:24,570
I was just, like, researching places and, like,
689
00:25:24,670 --> 00:25:25,570
bookmarking places.
690
00:25:25,570 --> 00:25:26,990
Like, I have to go check this out.
691
00:25:27,030 --> 00:25:28,470
I have to go check this out because
692
00:25:28,470 --> 00:25:29,670
there's that many options.
693
00:25:29,770 --> 00:25:31,610
And people are, like, the restaurant owners are
694
00:25:31,610 --> 00:25:33,570
consistently seeing the value.
695
00:25:33,870 --> 00:25:35,690
They're starting to see the value in the
696
00:25:35,690 --> 00:25:36,290
vegan market.
697
00:25:36,730 --> 00:25:39,190
And that even if you're not vegan, that
698
00:25:39,190 --> 00:25:40,930
you may still want to dabble in it.
699
00:25:40,970 --> 00:25:43,490
You may be plant-based or part of
700
00:25:43,490 --> 00:25:45,130
the time plant-based or something like that.
701
00:25:45,130 --> 00:25:46,690
Or you just may be plant-forward.
702
00:25:47,070 --> 00:25:51,070
So, it's definitely an awesome thing to have
703
00:25:51,070 --> 00:25:54,070
a more inclusive menu to allow a separate
704
00:25:54,070 --> 00:25:54,690
vegan menu.
705
00:25:54,830 --> 00:25:56,730
And I just love sharing it.
706
00:25:57,210 --> 00:25:59,690
And Karen LaCava says she's excited to visit
707
00:25:59,690 --> 00:26:00,270
Chicago.
708
00:26:00,550 --> 00:26:02,990
Karen, who's a friend of mine, the two
709
00:26:02,990 --> 00:26:05,250
of us should go to Chicago and explore
710
00:26:05,250 --> 00:26:07,190
this incredible Chicago vegan scene.
711
00:26:07,390 --> 00:26:08,910
That's what made me want to do it.
712
00:26:09,110 --> 00:26:10,550
Your show makes me want to hop on
713
00:26:10,550 --> 00:26:12,790
a flight and go to all these incredible
714
00:26:12,790 --> 00:26:13,430
places.
715
00:26:14,090 --> 00:26:18,850
What has the reaction been to the show
716
00:26:18,850 --> 00:26:20,510
in Chicago, Nemanja?
717
00:26:21,930 --> 00:26:24,590
I have to mention the Plan X Market
718
00:26:24,590 --> 00:26:26,790
first since I don't think I responded to
719
00:26:26,790 --> 00:26:26,930
that.
720
00:26:27,090 --> 00:26:31,410
I just love, like, how community is coming
721
00:26:31,410 --> 00:26:33,730
to hang out because there's so many events.
722
00:26:33,790 --> 00:26:35,150
It's really a lot of space.
723
00:26:35,510 --> 00:26:38,550
So, besides, like, being just about food, there
724
00:26:38,550 --> 00:26:39,830
are a lot of fundraisers.
725
00:26:40,370 --> 00:26:41,510
There's a farmer's market.
726
00:26:41,510 --> 00:26:43,510
There are people who are not even part
727
00:26:43,510 --> 00:26:45,750
of the Plan X Market that they're coming
728
00:26:45,750 --> 00:26:46,950
on a Saturday and Sunday.
729
00:26:47,110 --> 00:26:48,730
And they're able to set up, like, a
730
00:26:48,730 --> 00:26:51,270
little stand and, like, sell their products, engage
731
00:26:51,270 --> 00:26:51,990
with the community.
732
00:26:52,510 --> 00:26:54,590
Like, we just had a sanctuary that we
733
00:26:54,590 --> 00:26:55,710
were raising money for.
734
00:26:55,830 --> 00:26:57,350
So, I really love being a part of
735
00:26:57,350 --> 00:26:57,990
the Plan X Market.
736
00:26:58,310 --> 00:27:00,250
And it's going to almost be a one
737
00:27:00,250 --> 00:27:01,370
-year anniversary over there.
738
00:27:01,410 --> 00:27:02,570
I'm very excited about that.
739
00:27:03,570 --> 00:27:06,390
Now, to answer how Chicago reacted to our
740
00:27:06,390 --> 00:27:06,610
show.
741
00:27:06,870 --> 00:27:09,070
Well, I really think Chicagoans are proud of
742
00:27:09,070 --> 00:27:09,390
us.
743
00:27:09,390 --> 00:27:11,670
And you hear people want to travel to
744
00:27:11,670 --> 00:27:12,930
Chicago because of us.
745
00:27:13,050 --> 00:27:15,470
We bring tourism to the city, baby.
746
00:27:15,970 --> 00:27:20,110
So, I really think the reactions have been
747
00:27:20,110 --> 00:27:20,610
amazing.
748
00:27:21,030 --> 00:27:22,890
People are excited about the new episode.
749
00:27:23,130 --> 00:27:26,050
Every time we pause, somebody, like, engages with
750
00:27:26,050 --> 00:27:27,650
it and even say, like, we cannot wait
751
00:27:27,650 --> 00:27:28,510
for the next one.
752
00:27:28,990 --> 00:27:31,710
So, I think response from Chicago was great.
753
00:27:31,790 --> 00:27:34,310
But, like, what makes me even happier is
754
00:27:34,310 --> 00:27:37,010
that there are people even outside of Chicago
755
00:27:37,010 --> 00:27:37,950
watching the show.
756
00:27:37,950 --> 00:27:39,970
Which it is, was an ultimate goal of
757
00:27:39,970 --> 00:27:40,130
it.
758
00:27:40,190 --> 00:27:41,830
But it makes me really happy that it's,
759
00:27:41,970 --> 00:27:44,610
like, not just Chicago viewers, but seems, like,
760
00:27:44,870 --> 00:27:45,490
from everywhere.
761
00:27:45,710 --> 00:27:48,070
Like, look at California calling us today.
762
00:27:48,130 --> 00:27:48,810
So, I love that.
763
00:27:49,150 --> 00:27:49,630
Yes.
764
00:27:49,830 --> 00:27:52,870
You know, to me, what's really important is
765
00:27:52,870 --> 00:27:57,630
that there are industries and there are people
766
00:27:57,630 --> 00:28:00,210
who are out to kill the plant-based
767
00:28:00,210 --> 00:28:00,530
movement.
768
00:28:00,530 --> 00:28:03,030
And, you know, The Guardian just did an
769
00:28:03,030 --> 00:28:07,890
article saying the meat industry has, like, a
770
00:28:07,890 --> 00:28:11,910
giant facility in Denver, Colorado that is churning
771
00:28:11,910 --> 00:28:13,870
out all sorts of negative stuff.
772
00:28:14,230 --> 00:28:17,930
Oh, meat processed, you know, vegans, vegan meat
773
00:28:17,930 --> 00:28:18,950
alternatives are processed.
774
00:28:19,590 --> 00:28:23,130
They don't mention that processed meat from animals
775
00:28:23,130 --> 00:28:24,950
is officially cancer-causing.
776
00:28:25,370 --> 00:28:27,810
According to the World Health Organisation, it is
777
00:28:27,810 --> 00:28:28,790
a carcinogen.
778
00:28:28,790 --> 00:28:31,370
And red meat is a likely carcinogen.
779
00:28:31,730 --> 00:28:34,730
So, I urge everybody to be very careful
780
00:28:34,730 --> 00:28:37,270
because the news media, which I was in
781
00:28:37,270 --> 00:28:39,830
for more than 30 years, they take things
782
00:28:39,830 --> 00:28:41,990
and they reprint them and they don't really
783
00:28:41,990 --> 00:28:43,030
do a deep dive.
784
00:28:43,490 --> 00:28:47,070
And, unfortunately, there's been some success with that.
785
00:28:47,410 --> 00:28:49,430
Now, let me just say this.
786
00:28:49,970 --> 00:28:53,690
We didn't create veggie burgers and, you know,
787
00:28:53,810 --> 00:28:55,990
vegan chicken wings mostly for vegans.
788
00:28:55,990 --> 00:28:58,430
We created it for meat eaters who said,
789
00:28:58,610 --> 00:29:00,250
I could never give up chicken wings.
790
00:29:00,390 --> 00:29:02,010
I could never give up my burgers.
791
00:29:02,330 --> 00:29:03,850
I could never give up my cheese.
792
00:29:04,230 --> 00:29:06,170
So, then we say, okay, hold on a
793
00:29:06,170 --> 00:29:06,410
second.
794
00:29:06,810 --> 00:29:08,790
We're going to create alternatives for you.
795
00:29:08,950 --> 00:29:10,070
And then they turn around and they go,
796
00:29:10,150 --> 00:29:10,870
well, that's processed.
797
00:29:11,350 --> 00:29:12,030
Well, guess what?
798
00:29:12,310 --> 00:29:14,550
Mother Nature has always been providing fruits, vegetables,
799
00:29:14,710 --> 00:29:15,730
nuts, grains, and legumes.
800
00:29:15,990 --> 00:29:17,510
You always have that option.
801
00:29:17,990 --> 00:29:19,730
And I also try to eat whole food
802
00:29:19,730 --> 00:29:20,330
plant-based.
803
00:29:20,810 --> 00:29:22,590
I have fruits and vegetables.
804
00:29:22,590 --> 00:29:24,430
Actually, it started during the pandemic, but I
805
00:29:24,430 --> 00:29:27,070
keep it going because it encourages me to
806
00:29:27,070 --> 00:29:27,650
eat that way.
807
00:29:27,750 --> 00:29:29,110
I have them delivered to my house once
808
00:29:29,110 --> 00:29:29,470
a week.
809
00:29:29,730 --> 00:29:31,170
It actually saves me money, too.
810
00:29:31,550 --> 00:29:35,170
So, let's throw out this old canard about
811
00:29:35,170 --> 00:29:36,610
being vegan is more expensive.
812
00:29:37,070 --> 00:29:38,130
You know, you can get a sack of
813
00:29:38,130 --> 00:29:40,670
brown rice, a sack of black beans, and
814
00:29:40,670 --> 00:29:42,310
some potatoes and live for a month.
815
00:29:42,750 --> 00:29:42,990
Okay?
816
00:29:43,210 --> 00:29:45,650
So, there's a lot of false stuff that's
817
00:29:45,650 --> 00:29:48,690
put out there by industries that are profiting
818
00:29:48,690 --> 00:29:51,030
from people eating animals and getting sick.
819
00:29:51,030 --> 00:29:53,650
Heart disease, cancer, all sorts of things.
820
00:29:54,070 --> 00:29:56,690
So, for me, what's so important about this
821
00:29:56,690 --> 00:29:58,570
show and one of the reasons I'm so
822
00:29:58,570 --> 00:30:01,550
excited about Kale Crew, our new series on
823
00:30:01,550 --> 00:30:03,710
Unchained TV, if you're just joining us and
824
00:30:03,710 --> 00:30:06,430
you can go to unchainedtv.com and just
825
00:30:06,430 --> 00:30:08,130
click on streaming and it's right there.
826
00:30:08,630 --> 00:30:10,090
We've already got five episodes.
827
00:30:10,210 --> 00:30:11,150
The sixth is coming in.
828
00:30:11,750 --> 00:30:13,810
I'm excited because it shows that this is
829
00:30:13,810 --> 00:30:17,650
a grassroots movement that is the entire United
830
00:30:17,650 --> 00:30:17,990
States.
831
00:30:18,070 --> 00:30:19,750
In fact, the entire world.
832
00:30:19,750 --> 00:30:22,370
It's not just the way they try to
833
00:30:22,370 --> 00:30:25,690
make it like a bunch of super cool,
834
00:30:25,850 --> 00:30:28,450
you know, hippie-dippies in Venice.
835
00:30:30,630 --> 00:30:32,390
But it's not just me.
836
00:30:32,770 --> 00:30:33,270
I'm kidding.
837
00:30:33,670 --> 00:30:35,450
I'm not super cool, but I do live
838
00:30:35,450 --> 00:30:35,770
in Venice.
839
00:30:36,110 --> 00:30:39,510
So, the point is that this really, the
840
00:30:39,510 --> 00:30:42,930
power of the Kale Crew show and this
841
00:30:42,930 --> 00:30:46,490
series, this shows that this is happening across
842
00:30:46,490 --> 00:30:49,810
America and in communities of colour.
843
00:30:50,790 --> 00:30:53,210
African-Americans, correct me if I'm wrong, Tamika,
844
00:30:53,330 --> 00:30:57,110
are the fastest growing demographic switching to vegan.
845
00:30:57,290 --> 00:30:57,890
80%.
846
00:30:57,890 --> 00:30:58,970
80%.
847
00:30:59,730 --> 00:31:00,330
What?
848
00:31:00,870 --> 00:31:04,310
80% of African-Americans in the United
849
00:31:04,310 --> 00:31:05,210
States are vegan.
850
00:31:05,550 --> 00:31:07,890
So, I get those demographics all the time
851
00:31:07,890 --> 00:31:09,510
because I'm in the restaurant industry, so I
852
00:31:09,510 --> 00:31:10,010
want to know.
853
00:31:10,010 --> 00:31:13,690
And that's amazing and I love that.
854
00:31:14,070 --> 00:31:17,610
So, Tamika, you know, in your series, you're
855
00:31:17,610 --> 00:31:20,790
emphasising a lot of entrepreneurs, owners of vegan
856
00:31:20,790 --> 00:31:22,530
restaurants that happen to be African-American.
857
00:31:23,150 --> 00:31:23,690
Yes.
858
00:31:24,150 --> 00:31:26,290
It's very personal and near and dear to
859
00:31:26,290 --> 00:31:29,110
my heart because before becoming Plant Based Tamika,
860
00:31:29,670 --> 00:31:32,870
I've, you know, had storefronts with my boutique
861
00:31:32,870 --> 00:31:33,710
standout style.
862
00:31:33,710 --> 00:31:36,690
So, I understand, like, how it can feel
863
00:31:36,690 --> 00:31:38,710
or how it can be when it's slow
864
00:31:38,710 --> 00:31:40,870
or if people don't know that you're there
865
00:31:40,870 --> 00:31:41,890
and things like that.
866
00:31:42,410 --> 00:31:44,410
And just, I just wanted to show people
867
00:31:44,410 --> 00:31:46,310
that look like me that, hey, this is
868
00:31:46,310 --> 00:31:48,970
not something that is not for us, too.
869
00:31:49,250 --> 00:31:51,030
Like, we can, you know, we all can
870
00:31:51,030 --> 00:31:52,870
eat vegetables and we can all thrive and
871
00:31:52,870 --> 00:31:56,850
we can all just be healthy and also
872
00:31:56,850 --> 00:31:58,810
help save the animals, too, along with it.
873
00:31:58,810 --> 00:32:00,430
All right.
874
00:32:00,530 --> 00:32:04,770
We've got yet another caller, Karen, in infamous
875
00:32:04,770 --> 00:32:06,170
Venice, California.
876
00:32:07,150 --> 00:32:09,110
Karen, what is your question or thought?
877
00:32:10,550 --> 00:32:11,470
Hi, you guys.
878
00:32:11,570 --> 00:32:14,090
First of all, I love your energy and
879
00:32:14,090 --> 00:32:15,930
I love vegan soul food.
880
00:32:16,030 --> 00:32:16,930
It's awesome.
881
00:32:17,430 --> 00:32:20,590
So, I'm a vegan chef and I do
882
00:32:20,590 --> 00:32:21,510
a lot of parties.
883
00:32:21,510 --> 00:32:24,850
And I'm wondering, what are your favourite vegan
884
00:32:24,850 --> 00:32:27,190
party foods that you like to eat when
885
00:32:27,190 --> 00:32:28,850
you're at parties and that you like to
886
00:32:28,850 --> 00:32:29,710
make for parties?
887
00:32:31,290 --> 00:32:33,190
Well, I can chime in on that.
888
00:32:33,770 --> 00:32:36,390
I would say my favourite thing to make
889
00:32:36,390 --> 00:32:38,950
and that has been a consistent hit for
890
00:32:38,950 --> 00:32:40,110
any time I'm entertaining.
891
00:32:40,750 --> 00:32:43,150
It's on my website, too.
892
00:32:43,330 --> 00:32:46,290
It's basically the veggie loaded hummus flatbread.
893
00:32:46,990 --> 00:32:49,610
No one really realises that it doesn't involve
894
00:32:49,610 --> 00:32:51,470
cheese and it doesn't involve any meat.
895
00:32:51,650 --> 00:32:54,810
And they're just all, like, tantalised by all
896
00:32:54,810 --> 00:32:57,170
of the flavours of the veggies that are
897
00:32:57,170 --> 00:32:59,830
roasted, seasoned, and then the flavorful hummus on
898
00:32:59,830 --> 00:33:00,230
there, too.
899
00:33:00,330 --> 00:33:02,710
So, just cut those up into little squares.
900
00:33:02,930 --> 00:33:04,370
And to me, that's just like a very
901
00:33:04,370 --> 00:33:08,650
vibrant, easy kind of plate that's also somewhat
902
00:33:08,650 --> 00:33:09,350
filling, too.
903
00:33:09,610 --> 00:33:11,050
So, that's kind of like my go-to
904
00:33:11,050 --> 00:33:12,050
thing when I'm entertaining.
905
00:33:12,050 --> 00:33:14,570
But when I'm at parties, like, look, I'm
906
00:33:14,570 --> 00:33:16,150
not going to pretend.
907
00:33:16,330 --> 00:33:17,930
Like, my absolute favourite food is pizza.
908
00:33:18,490 --> 00:33:19,290
Sushi comes next.
909
00:33:19,330 --> 00:33:21,270
So, if those two types of items are
910
00:33:21,270 --> 00:33:22,350
there, I'm a happy girl.
911
00:33:23,090 --> 00:33:25,290
And I love the fact that you guys
912
00:33:25,290 --> 00:33:27,330
coordinate your outfits, clearly.
913
00:33:27,730 --> 00:33:29,810
And it just started happening like that, Jane.
914
00:33:29,870 --> 00:33:32,090
We didn't even do it like it just
915
00:33:32,090 --> 00:33:32,790
started happening.
916
00:33:33,830 --> 00:33:35,370
I love this outfit.
917
00:33:35,490 --> 00:33:39,190
And this is Alice and Friends you visited.
918
00:33:39,190 --> 00:33:42,170
Now, this is a very, I would say,
919
00:33:42,270 --> 00:33:43,490
gourmet cuisine.
920
00:33:44,210 --> 00:33:46,710
Tell us a little bit about the variety
921
00:33:46,710 --> 00:33:48,170
in the cuisine.
922
00:33:48,290 --> 00:33:49,990
Because we're going to cover one that does
923
00:33:49,990 --> 00:33:51,410
more fast food alternatives.
924
00:33:51,830 --> 00:33:56,090
But this is just really gourmet, Asian-themed
925
00:33:56,090 --> 00:33:56,450
cuisine.
926
00:33:56,610 --> 00:33:57,410
Correct, Nemanja?
927
00:33:57,910 --> 00:33:59,190
That is correct, yeah.
928
00:33:59,370 --> 00:34:01,710
And that's when we knew we want to
929
00:34:01,710 --> 00:34:02,110
do it.
930
00:34:02,150 --> 00:34:03,730
Because it is so fun.
931
00:34:03,850 --> 00:34:04,870
The food is so good.
932
00:34:05,010 --> 00:34:06,910
Samika and I both personally love it.
933
00:34:06,910 --> 00:34:08,650
I've been a customer of Alice and Friends
934
00:34:08,650 --> 00:34:10,230
for a really, really long time.
935
00:34:10,330 --> 00:34:12,770
We are even friends with Omar Moon, who's
936
00:34:12,770 --> 00:34:13,389
been incredible.
937
00:34:13,610 --> 00:34:17,870
That's a general manager of their kitchen that
938
00:34:17,870 --> 00:34:19,929
creates a lot of recipes and just does
939
00:34:19,929 --> 00:34:22,070
incredible, incredible things.
940
00:34:22,330 --> 00:34:25,350
Like, I honestly said, like, I know it's
941
00:34:25,350 --> 00:34:26,290
a big of a statement.
942
00:34:26,290 --> 00:34:28,449
But I think they made the best mac
943
00:34:28,449 --> 00:34:29,310
and cheese in the world.
944
00:34:29,429 --> 00:34:31,290
Vegan or not, it's just simply the best
945
00:34:31,290 --> 00:34:32,750
mac and cheese in the world.
946
00:34:32,889 --> 00:34:33,830
Like, it's so good.
947
00:34:34,150 --> 00:34:35,230
Everybody got to try it.
948
00:34:35,230 --> 00:34:37,330
And I think their secret is, like, after
949
00:34:37,330 --> 00:34:41,610
the macaroni are boiled, they're going in a
950
00:34:41,610 --> 00:34:42,489
pan on a grill.
951
00:34:42,870 --> 00:34:44,510
And, like, I don't know, that does some
952
00:34:44,510 --> 00:34:45,389
miracle to them.
953
00:34:45,469 --> 00:34:47,010
They just get a little crispiness.
954
00:34:47,310 --> 00:34:49,310
And then, like, a cheese gets even more
955
00:34:49,310 --> 00:34:49,889
melty.
956
00:34:50,330 --> 00:34:53,130
And just the whole situation, it's so good.
957
00:34:53,850 --> 00:34:56,550
And then, particularly not, like, an Asian-inspired
958
00:34:56,550 --> 00:34:56,870
dish.
959
00:34:56,970 --> 00:34:58,750
And it's weird that an Asian restaurant does
960
00:34:58,750 --> 00:34:59,370
it the best.
961
00:34:59,490 --> 00:35:00,430
But it's, like, so good.
962
00:35:00,770 --> 00:35:02,030
They do have diversity in the menu.
963
00:35:02,110 --> 00:35:03,650
They're also known for their desserts.
964
00:35:03,650 --> 00:35:05,970
And the end of that episode, Tameka and
965
00:35:05,970 --> 00:35:07,710
I get surprised by the owner with the
966
00:35:07,710 --> 00:35:11,250
two incredible desserts that were to, like, lick
967
00:35:11,250 --> 00:35:11,870
your fingers.
968
00:35:12,650 --> 00:35:14,210
Guys, I'm getting really hungry.
969
00:35:14,370 --> 00:35:15,130
I'll see you later.
970
00:35:16,650 --> 00:35:18,930
I want to go to another one, which
971
00:35:18,930 --> 00:35:23,550
is, yes, there is vegan fast food style.
972
00:35:23,790 --> 00:35:26,390
What I find so annoys me is, I
973
00:35:26,390 --> 00:35:29,230
drive down Lincoln Boulevard, for example, it's like
974
00:35:29,230 --> 00:35:31,450
one fast food restaurant after another.
975
00:35:31,450 --> 00:35:33,890
Where are all the people beating their chests?
976
00:35:34,190 --> 00:35:35,470
This isn't healthy for you.
977
00:35:35,750 --> 00:35:38,110
Then we come up with plant-based alternatives
978
00:35:38,110 --> 00:35:42,010
to fast food, which is automatically healthier because
979
00:35:42,010 --> 00:35:45,230
there's zero cholesterol in any vegan product.
980
00:35:45,690 --> 00:35:47,630
Challenge me, go up and down the supermarket
981
00:35:47,630 --> 00:35:48,290
aisles.
982
00:35:48,370 --> 00:35:50,690
Every single vegan product says zero cholesterol.
983
00:35:51,570 --> 00:35:56,870
And essentially, we mimic some of the look
984
00:35:56,870 --> 00:35:57,830
of fast food.
985
00:35:57,990 --> 00:36:00,650
But if you think about what's in it,
986
00:36:00,650 --> 00:36:05,750
it's actually vegetables mushed together to make a
987
00:36:05,750 --> 00:36:06,170
patty.
988
00:36:06,630 --> 00:36:08,830
So let's, you know, let's take a look
989
00:36:08,830 --> 00:36:10,890
at this one restaurant, which I want to
990
00:36:10,890 --> 00:36:12,970
visit as soon as I get to Chicago.
991
00:36:13,490 --> 00:36:15,370
Can't believe it's not me.
992
00:36:16,390 --> 00:36:17,610
I'm Tameka Price.
993
00:36:17,730 --> 00:36:20,110
And welcome to another tantalising adventure.
994
00:36:20,330 --> 00:36:21,790
Tameka, where are we going today?
995
00:36:21,930 --> 00:36:23,250
I'm so glad you asked me.
996
00:36:23,570 --> 00:36:25,810
We are going to one of Chicago's top
997
00:36:25,810 --> 00:36:27,890
spots for tantalising vegan eats.
998
00:36:28,270 --> 00:36:29,310
Can't believe it's not me.
999
00:36:29,470 --> 00:36:30,530
Can't believe it.
1000
00:36:30,530 --> 00:36:32,070
Can't believe it's not me.
1001
00:36:32,170 --> 00:36:34,570
It's a fun vegan junk food restaurant.
1002
00:36:35,010 --> 00:36:37,690
So because when my family and I have
1003
00:36:37,690 --> 00:36:40,690
become a vegan, we couldn't find things that
1004
00:36:40,690 --> 00:36:42,770
was just like, you know, really fun stuff
1005
00:36:42,770 --> 00:36:44,370
that my son and my family miss.
1006
00:36:44,830 --> 00:36:46,170
You know, my son, he still wanted fun
1007
00:36:46,170 --> 00:36:46,450
stuff.
1008
00:36:46,690 --> 00:36:49,510
Chicken nuggets, burgers, like cool fast food stuff.
1009
00:36:50,110 --> 00:36:52,630
But everything then at that time was just
1010
00:36:52,630 --> 00:36:54,530
like a lot of, you know, mushroom based
1011
00:36:54,530 --> 00:36:55,110
quinoa.
1012
00:36:55,250 --> 00:36:58,150
Like everything was just like not aimed towards
1013
00:36:58,150 --> 00:36:58,810
fast food.
1014
00:36:59,410 --> 00:37:01,730
We found a boy there and I was
1015
00:37:01,730 --> 00:37:03,930
like, that would be wonderful to open up
1016
00:37:03,930 --> 00:37:04,830
a restaurant like that.
1017
00:37:04,910 --> 00:37:07,050
But it came from, I would let my
1018
00:37:07,050 --> 00:37:08,910
family eat it that was not vegan and
1019
00:37:08,910 --> 00:37:09,610
they'll taste it.
1020
00:37:09,650 --> 00:37:10,990
And they'll be like, I can't believe it's
1021
00:37:10,990 --> 00:37:11,330
not me.
1022
00:37:12,330 --> 00:37:13,990
I can't believe it's not me.
1023
00:37:14,370 --> 00:37:16,470
The food is mouthwatering.
1024
00:37:16,530 --> 00:37:18,450
I mean, all of the restaurants you visit,
1025
00:37:18,870 --> 00:37:21,950
but boy that, the burger shakes, fries.
1026
00:37:22,430 --> 00:37:25,450
And just tell me about that restaurant and
1027
00:37:25,450 --> 00:37:27,530
the woman who started it.
1028
00:37:28,150 --> 00:37:29,970
Yeah, Chef Fab is wonderful.
1029
00:37:30,610 --> 00:37:33,310
My mouth just literally started to water watching
1030
00:37:33,310 --> 00:37:33,670
it.
1031
00:37:33,810 --> 00:37:35,130
I was like, oh my gosh.
1032
00:37:35,570 --> 00:37:36,930
So yeah, I do love that.
1033
00:37:37,130 --> 00:37:39,650
They cater to also not just like the
1034
00:37:39,650 --> 00:37:42,370
vegan junk food, but a lot of, there's
1035
00:37:42,370 --> 00:37:45,730
like Chicago classics that they also make.
1036
00:37:46,190 --> 00:37:48,750
And it's just all just so, so, so
1037
00:37:48,750 --> 00:37:49,030
good.
1038
00:37:49,270 --> 00:37:51,550
Like that was one of the first restaurants
1039
00:37:51,550 --> 00:37:52,250
that I visited.
1040
00:37:53,350 --> 00:37:55,690
And it made me, when I said I
1041
00:37:55,690 --> 00:37:57,150
was going to do 30 days, you know,
1042
00:37:57,270 --> 00:37:58,930
plant-based, I was like, maybe I could
1043
00:37:58,930 --> 00:38:00,330
do this a hundred percent.
1044
00:38:00,710 --> 00:38:01,910
So that was one of the places.
1045
00:38:02,190 --> 00:38:03,130
So it's so good.
1046
00:38:03,670 --> 00:38:04,930
Well, you guys are very important.
1047
00:38:05,070 --> 00:38:05,490
Go ahead.
1048
00:38:05,570 --> 00:38:06,230
Go ahead, Nemanja.
1049
00:38:06,370 --> 00:38:08,370
I just want to say that like Tamika's
1050
00:38:08,370 --> 00:38:10,690
favourite is there like a Philly cheesesteak, which
1051
00:38:10,690 --> 00:38:12,510
is like a very traditional take on like
1052
00:38:12,510 --> 00:38:13,290
a Chicago dish.
1053
00:38:13,490 --> 00:38:15,390
And that patty melt from Can't Believe It's
1054
00:38:15,390 --> 00:38:15,810
Not Meat.
1055
00:38:15,970 --> 00:38:18,930
It's like, I don't remember patty melt being
1056
00:38:18,930 --> 00:38:19,410
that good.
1057
00:38:19,490 --> 00:38:19,930
Honestly.
1058
00:38:20,190 --> 00:38:22,150
Cause like it was not like my favourite
1059
00:38:22,150 --> 00:38:23,130
thing back in time.
1060
00:38:23,210 --> 00:38:25,350
It's been for me like nine years since
1061
00:38:25,350 --> 00:38:26,230
I had meat.
1062
00:38:26,230 --> 00:38:29,930
But like that patty melt from Can't Believe
1063
00:38:29,930 --> 00:38:31,410
It's Not Meat is literally one of the
1064
00:38:31,410 --> 00:38:31,710
best.
1065
00:38:32,230 --> 00:38:32,710
Yeah.
1066
00:38:32,910 --> 00:38:33,970
And everybody's sharing.
1067
00:38:34,130 --> 00:38:36,090
And so many people are saying we've got
1068
00:38:36,090 --> 00:38:38,810
to go to Chicago road trip.
1069
00:38:39,390 --> 00:38:39,910
Oh, wow.
1070
00:38:39,930 --> 00:38:41,370
This is making me hungry.
1071
00:38:41,990 --> 00:38:44,810
I want to go to Chicago road trip.
1072
00:38:44,970 --> 00:38:45,870
Oh my gosh.
1073
00:38:46,250 --> 00:38:48,070
I think that we're going to get a
1074
00:38:48,070 --> 00:38:48,690
whole crew.
1075
00:38:49,110 --> 00:38:50,350
You know what we could do?
1076
00:38:50,650 --> 00:38:55,730
I'm always cooking up different little adventures in
1077
00:38:55,730 --> 00:38:56,290
my head.
1078
00:38:56,470 --> 00:38:57,370
That's how I get into trouble.
1079
00:38:57,730 --> 00:39:00,370
We could do a group road trip from
1080
00:39:00,370 --> 00:39:04,710
LA to Chicago and do the tour of
1081
00:39:04,710 --> 00:39:07,110
the restaurants that you profile.
1082
00:39:08,070 --> 00:39:08,890
I love that.
1083
00:39:09,210 --> 00:39:11,450
You should follow us on the way too.
1084
00:39:12,370 --> 00:39:12,750
Yeah.
1085
00:39:13,490 --> 00:39:13,990
Absolutely.
1086
00:39:14,490 --> 00:39:15,030
That would be fun.
1087
00:39:15,210 --> 00:39:17,410
We probably, I don't know, but it should
1088
00:39:17,410 --> 00:39:18,990
be a long tour in the sense that
1089
00:39:18,990 --> 00:39:21,030
if we went to every single restaurant in
1090
00:39:21,030 --> 00:39:21,670
two days.
1091
00:39:21,890 --> 00:39:23,110
Well, every time you're hungry.
1092
00:39:23,110 --> 00:39:24,770
Every time you're hungry, we could go to
1093
00:39:24,770 --> 00:39:25,170
a new restaurant.
1094
00:39:25,190 --> 00:39:26,770
Every time you're hungry, which could be four
1095
00:39:26,770 --> 00:39:27,850
to five times a day.
1096
00:39:28,270 --> 00:39:31,350
Now let me ask you, Nemanja, you're, both
1097
00:39:31,350 --> 00:39:33,610
of you are social media influencers.
1098
00:39:33,610 --> 00:39:36,290
You have your pulse, your finger on the
1099
00:39:36,290 --> 00:39:37,330
pulse of the nation.
1100
00:39:37,750 --> 00:39:39,030
Where are we?
1101
00:39:39,210 --> 00:39:42,430
Because, you know, I've been vegan about 28
1102
00:39:42,430 --> 00:39:44,870
years and Tom says, let me know when
1103
00:39:44,870 --> 00:39:45,270
you're here.
1104
00:39:45,330 --> 00:39:46,010
We will, Tom.
1105
00:39:46,090 --> 00:39:47,730
Don't worry about that for sure.
1106
00:39:48,430 --> 00:39:50,470
But I've been vegan about 28 years.
1107
00:39:50,470 --> 00:39:54,210
When I first went vegan, you know, there
1108
00:39:54,210 --> 00:39:56,490
were like two restaurants and they were mostly
1109
00:39:56,490 --> 00:39:58,990
like macrobiotic, nothing against macrobiotics.
1110
00:39:59,250 --> 00:40:01,410
My parents were actually macrobiotic for quite a
1111
00:40:01,410 --> 00:40:04,510
while, but I knew everybody.
1112
00:40:04,830 --> 00:40:07,790
They were empty, you know, and now a
1113
00:40:07,790 --> 00:40:09,210
lot of times it's hard to get a
1114
00:40:09,210 --> 00:40:11,090
table at the hot vegan restaurants.
1115
00:40:11,330 --> 00:40:13,030
I mean, we've got a lot of hot
1116
00:40:13,030 --> 00:40:13,990
vegan restaurants here.
1117
00:40:14,170 --> 00:40:15,390
I don't want to leave any out, but
1118
00:40:15,390 --> 00:40:18,530
just to throw out a couple, Planta, Crossroads,
1119
00:40:19,030 --> 00:40:20,930
Cavendish, Gracias Madre.
1120
00:40:21,130 --> 00:40:22,550
A lot of times it's really hard to
1121
00:40:22,550 --> 00:40:24,410
get a table at those and nothing makes
1122
00:40:24,410 --> 00:40:24,970
me happier.
1123
00:40:25,470 --> 00:40:27,150
Honestly, I can tell you, nothing makes me
1124
00:40:27,150 --> 00:40:28,630
happier than having to wait for a table
1125
00:40:28,630 --> 00:40:30,510
at a vegan restaurant because for so many
1126
00:40:30,510 --> 00:40:34,090
years, I fantasised about that scenario.
1127
00:40:34,750 --> 00:40:36,170
So where are we?
1128
00:40:36,250 --> 00:40:38,670
Because there's, that's a good point there.
1129
00:40:38,770 --> 00:40:40,510
But on the other side, as I mentioned,
1130
00:40:40,970 --> 00:40:44,910
you have these very powerful industries on the
1131
00:40:44,910 --> 00:40:46,750
attack because they're scared.
1132
00:40:46,950 --> 00:40:48,530
They see people going vegan and they see
1133
00:40:48,530 --> 00:40:50,770
money, money, money going away and they want
1134
00:40:50,770 --> 00:40:53,150
people to keep eating the same food that's
1135
00:40:53,150 --> 00:40:54,990
making them really, really sick.
1136
00:40:55,250 --> 00:40:57,030
So where are we, Nemanja?
1137
00:40:57,190 --> 00:40:58,030
And then we'll go to Tamika.
1138
00:40:58,690 --> 00:41:00,710
Jane, you just reminded me of a joke
1139
00:41:00,710 --> 00:41:03,530
where like getting mad at the grocery store
1140
00:41:03,530 --> 00:41:06,290
that the vegan supplies, it's sold out, but
1141
00:41:06,290 --> 00:41:08,270
then being happy because that means it's in
1142
00:41:08,270 --> 00:41:08,630
demand.
1143
00:41:09,590 --> 00:41:11,250
So you just reminded me of that.
1144
00:41:11,290 --> 00:41:13,190
As you said, you enjoy waiting for a
1145
00:41:13,190 --> 00:41:15,210
table at a vegan restaurant, which is funny.
1146
00:41:16,110 --> 00:41:18,070
I think, I agree with you.
1147
00:41:18,250 --> 00:41:20,630
The meat industry, the dairy industry is desperate.
1148
00:41:20,770 --> 00:41:22,370
And I spoke about that on my podcast.
1149
00:41:22,710 --> 00:41:24,850
I really think they're so desperate that they're
1150
00:41:24,850 --> 00:41:27,650
trying to pull like the last rows of
1151
00:41:27,650 --> 00:41:29,390
like to save themselves.
1152
00:41:30,030 --> 00:41:33,090
But I think people are recognising those and
1153
00:41:33,090 --> 00:41:35,490
I don't think it's doing much, particularly not
1154
00:41:35,490 --> 00:41:37,030
for the dairy industry.
1155
00:41:37,570 --> 00:41:39,830
When it comes, oh, Kale, Kale, my dog
1156
00:41:39,830 --> 00:41:40,490
is present.
1157
00:41:40,490 --> 00:41:46,330
Anyway, when it comes to the meat industry
1158
00:41:46,330 --> 00:41:49,930
trying to, Kale, come here, come here.
1159
00:41:50,910 --> 00:41:52,810
My dog, it's just, you know, it's a
1160
00:41:52,810 --> 00:41:53,610
live show.
1161
00:41:54,030 --> 00:41:55,230
So like that can happen.
1162
00:41:56,270 --> 00:41:57,410
Kale, my name.
1163
00:41:57,910 --> 00:41:59,030
And yes, exactly.
1164
00:41:59,350 --> 00:42:01,610
That is my everything.
1165
00:42:01,950 --> 00:42:03,290
Anyway, meat industry.
1166
00:42:03,710 --> 00:42:06,330
I recently chatted with my cousin who was,
1167
00:42:06,470 --> 00:42:07,490
my entire family went vegan.
1168
00:42:07,590 --> 00:42:09,790
I convinced them all, but my cousin didn't.
1169
00:42:09,790 --> 00:42:11,990
And I was recently chatting about it and
1170
00:42:11,990 --> 00:42:13,350
then she was trying to convince me that
1171
00:42:13,350 --> 00:42:14,290
it's not a good option.
1172
00:42:14,450 --> 00:42:16,550
And I asked her, why are we even
1173
00:42:16,550 --> 00:42:17,650
having this debate?
1174
00:42:18,330 --> 00:42:22,630
I was like, mine, it's to support life
1175
00:42:22,630 --> 00:42:24,570
and yours is to support death.
1176
00:42:24,830 --> 00:42:26,670
You will never win this, so let's just
1177
00:42:26,670 --> 00:42:27,210
end it.
1178
00:42:27,490 --> 00:42:30,070
And that is my opinion on like where
1179
00:42:30,070 --> 00:42:31,450
this is going, right?
1180
00:42:31,690 --> 00:42:35,950
Like they will never win because we want
1181
00:42:35,950 --> 00:42:37,170
to support life.
1182
00:42:37,170 --> 00:42:38,570
And I think that's it.
1183
00:42:39,290 --> 00:42:39,850
Absolutely.
1184
00:42:40,590 --> 00:42:42,390
And also for the climate.
1185
00:42:42,670 --> 00:42:45,430
I mean, climate change is no longer some
1186
00:42:45,430 --> 00:42:46,770
theoretical thing out there.
1187
00:42:46,870 --> 00:42:47,790
It's hitting people.
1188
00:42:48,510 --> 00:42:50,530
And one of the reasons I started Unchained
1189
00:42:50,530 --> 00:42:53,150
TV is because having been in the news
1190
00:42:53,150 --> 00:42:56,850
media for decades, I saw that they would
1191
00:42:56,850 --> 00:42:59,210
cover all the catastrophes, but then when a
1192
00:42:59,210 --> 00:43:01,710
solution comes up that's a clear cut solution.
1193
00:43:02,010 --> 00:43:04,350
And I'll give you a very specific example.
1194
00:43:04,350 --> 00:43:06,170
I've got it right here.
1195
00:43:07,650 --> 00:43:09,550
Let me find it because it's worth, here
1196
00:43:09,550 --> 00:43:09,950
we go.
1197
00:43:10,670 --> 00:43:12,570
Put down that hamburger, save the planet.
1198
00:43:13,070 --> 00:43:13,650
New York Times.
1199
00:43:14,150 --> 00:43:16,910
Researchers examined the diets of 55,500 people
1200
00:43:16,910 --> 00:43:19,210
and found that vegans are responsible for 75
1201
00:43:19,210 --> 00:43:22,510
% less in greenhouse gases than meat eaters.
1202
00:43:22,870 --> 00:43:25,490
Now, that means that if everybody went vegan,
1203
00:43:25,650 --> 00:43:28,610
we would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 75%.
1204
00:43:28,610 --> 00:43:29,550
That's a solution.
1205
00:43:30,030 --> 00:43:30,270
Hello?
1206
00:43:30,870 --> 00:43:32,870
No coverage.
1207
00:43:32,870 --> 00:43:34,650
No coverage on any of the major networks
1208
00:43:34,650 --> 00:43:36,070
or any of the minor networks.
1209
00:43:36,450 --> 00:43:37,930
I mean, we're the only ones that are
1210
00:43:37,930 --> 00:43:38,690
talking about it now.
1211
00:43:39,190 --> 00:43:40,970
Kudos to the New York Times for publishing
1212
00:43:40,970 --> 00:43:41,310
that.
1213
00:43:41,610 --> 00:43:42,610
It was kind of buried.
1214
00:43:42,790 --> 00:43:43,410
The article wasn't.
1215
00:43:43,510 --> 00:43:44,290
It should be a headline.
1216
00:43:44,830 --> 00:43:47,470
They do headlines about the catastrophes, the fires,
1217
00:43:47,650 --> 00:43:51,890
the floods, the buildings collapsing, all of these
1218
00:43:51,890 --> 00:43:52,130
things.
1219
00:43:52,450 --> 00:43:54,310
And then when a clear cut solution is
1220
00:43:54,310 --> 00:43:57,010
offered, they completely ignore it.
1221
00:43:57,450 --> 00:44:00,450
So that's why I started Unchained TV.
1222
00:44:00,450 --> 00:44:03,430
So if the clock is ticking, we have
1223
00:44:03,430 --> 00:44:04,510
to get people on board.
1224
00:44:04,990 --> 00:44:06,750
And then, you know, when they lose their
1225
00:44:06,750 --> 00:44:10,340
house in a fire, is it going to
1226
00:44:10,340 --> 00:44:13,480
take that for them to get the connection?
1227
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:15,780
That they could have been part of the
1228
00:44:15,780 --> 00:44:16,160
solution?
1229
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,360
So this is one of the reasons I
1230
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,420
started Unchained TV, because the reason why you
1231
00:44:21,420 --> 00:44:24,060
won't see it on mainstream television is look
1232
00:44:24,060 --> 00:44:25,180
at the advertisers.
1233
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:27,720
Fast food and pharmaceuticals.
1234
00:44:27,720 --> 00:44:28,800
Your thoughts on that, Tamika?
1235
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:32,160
Yeah, it's ultimately, to me, it's a money
1236
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:32,620
issue.
1237
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:36,740
It can be a cognitive dissonance issue with
1238
00:44:36,740 --> 00:44:42,080
individuals, but ultimately this is like this is
1239
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:43,720
about big business.
1240
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,100
I just think that the best way for
1241
00:44:47,100 --> 00:44:51,620
us individually to influence people and just let
1242
00:44:51,620 --> 00:44:53,240
them see what's going on is just to
1243
00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:57,820
continue to share and let them let them
1244
00:44:57,820 --> 00:44:59,460
get to that point themselves, because a lot
1245
00:44:59,460 --> 00:45:01,000
of times when people feel forced or that
1246
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,680
their arm is twisted and things like that,
1247
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,200
you'll be met with more resistance.
1248
00:45:06,740 --> 00:45:09,200
So that's honestly why I just try to
1249
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,520
share the joy and, again, the abundance of
1250
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,260
this lifestyle, because for me I already know
1251
00:45:16,260 --> 00:45:17,480
that the way social media is going to
1252
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,360
break things down, they're going to show my
1253
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,100
content to the people that love it and
1254
00:45:21,100 --> 00:45:22,320
they're going to show my content to the
1255
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:23,140
people that hate it.
1256
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:27,720
So I'm just looking to help sway somebody
1257
00:45:27,720 --> 00:45:30,300
to just say you can help out the
1258
00:45:30,300 --> 00:45:31,660
planet, you can help out yourself, you can
1259
00:45:31,660 --> 00:45:33,940
help out your health by a plant-based
1260
00:45:33,940 --> 00:45:34,280
diet.
1261
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:36,640
And check out...
1262
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,080
Everyone's complaining how hot it is, and we
1263
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,040
don't get that much snow in Chicago anymore.
1264
00:45:42,380 --> 00:45:44,460
I remember when I came here in 2015
1265
00:45:44,460 --> 00:45:46,160
there was like four months of snow.
1266
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,580
Last winter we had two days of snow,
1267
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:48,920
Jane.
1268
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,180
It's Chicago, for the love of God!
1269
00:45:51,180 --> 00:45:54,700
I agree with you, and again, that's why
1270
00:45:54,700 --> 00:45:56,740
I started Unchained TV.
1271
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:58,900
So it's a vegan Netflix.
1272
00:45:59,220 --> 00:46:01,080
Okay, that's the craziest thing I've ever heard.
1273
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:02,340
I love Unchained TV.
1274
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:03,180
Unchained.
1275
00:46:03,460 --> 00:46:04,340
Unchained TV.
1276
00:46:04,500 --> 00:46:05,300
Your life will change.
1277
00:46:05,460 --> 00:46:06,460
It's just that easy.
1278
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,340
Unchained TV has all sorts of content for
1279
00:46:09,340 --> 00:46:09,780
everybody.
1280
00:46:10,180 --> 00:46:12,220
Unchained TV changed my life.
1281
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,360
Unchained TV is crushing it.
1282
00:46:15,460 --> 00:46:17,020
I love Unchained TV.
1283
00:46:17,300 --> 00:46:19,020
Unchained TV is my go-to.
1284
00:46:19,020 --> 00:46:20,140
Unchained TV.
1285
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:21,140
Who knew?
1286
00:46:21,780 --> 00:46:23,080
Unchained, baby!
1287
00:46:29,170 --> 00:46:31,850
And you can just go to if you
1288
00:46:31,850 --> 00:46:33,710
want to go straight to the streaming network,
1289
00:46:33,970 --> 00:46:38,330
watch.unchainedtv.com We also have our website
1290
00:46:38,330 --> 00:46:41,370
hub, unchainedtv.com, either one.
1291
00:46:41,770 --> 00:46:44,310
And we also produce hundreds, even thousands of
1292
00:46:44,310 --> 00:46:44,790
articles.
1293
00:46:44,870 --> 00:46:47,470
And we have very exciting development to tell
1294
00:46:47,470 --> 00:46:50,330
you about that connects with Kale Crew.
1295
00:46:50,630 --> 00:46:53,630
We have now launched on Fast Channels and
1296
00:46:53,630 --> 00:46:57,270
this week we are going to start showing
1297
00:46:57,270 --> 00:47:01,430
Kale Crew on the Fast Channels and those
1298
00:47:01,430 --> 00:47:04,070
are going to open this message up to
1299
00:47:04,070 --> 00:47:06,410
a whole new audience.
1300
00:47:06,950 --> 00:47:08,990
So we're very excited about that.
1301
00:47:09,270 --> 00:47:12,930
You guys are literally changing the world, saving
1302
00:47:12,930 --> 00:47:15,890
the world and I just have to say,
1303
00:47:16,530 --> 00:47:18,690
coming full circle back to when I met
1304
00:47:18,690 --> 00:47:20,970
you at a party, Nemanja, and I said,
1305
00:47:21,130 --> 00:47:22,750
we were just talking and I said, oh,
1306
00:47:22,850 --> 00:47:24,330
Chicago, why don't you do a show in
1307
00:47:24,330 --> 00:47:24,690
Chicago?
1308
00:47:25,350 --> 00:47:27,790
And you were like, okay, and then like
1309
00:47:27,790 --> 00:47:29,750
two weeks later you have your first episode.
1310
00:47:29,890 --> 00:47:31,190
I was like, oh my God, I've never
1311
00:47:31,190 --> 00:47:35,490
seen anybody move that fast and that efficiently
1312
00:47:36,070 --> 00:47:39,350
and you just keep churning out the episodes.
1313
00:47:39,650 --> 00:47:42,490
I mean, what is your secret sauce?
1314
00:47:42,530 --> 00:47:44,370
Because I would say I'll have what he's
1315
00:47:44,370 --> 00:47:44,670
having.
1316
00:47:46,110 --> 00:47:49,090
One thing about Neiman, Neiman moves quick and
1317
00:47:49,770 --> 00:47:53,130
I'm excited about things and what I'm passionate
1318
00:47:53,130 --> 00:47:54,630
about like I just want to do.
1319
00:47:55,170 --> 00:47:59,050
I have to tell people who watch already
1320
00:47:59,050 --> 00:48:01,190
all the episodes, the reasons to stay tuned.
1321
00:48:01,590 --> 00:48:03,190
It's going to be like a teeny tiny
1322
00:48:03,190 --> 00:48:05,170
spoiler alert for what is coming.
1323
00:48:05,470 --> 00:48:07,030
But we're going to also have like a
1324
00:48:07,030 --> 00:48:08,390
dessert ice cream episode.
1325
00:48:08,530 --> 00:48:10,150
It's going to be absolutely fabulous and it's
1326
00:48:10,150 --> 00:48:11,510
coming out already this Friday.
1327
00:48:12,610 --> 00:48:15,690
Anyway, for the episode after that that still
1328
00:48:15,690 --> 00:48:18,390
has not been recorded but I have to
1329
00:48:18,390 --> 00:48:20,690
say something because the caller previously said that
1330
00:48:20,690 --> 00:48:24,090
long time ago in Chicago she barely had
1331
00:48:24,090 --> 00:48:24,730
any options.
1332
00:48:24,970 --> 00:48:27,410
Well, I also didn't know about this but
1333
00:48:27,410 --> 00:48:30,750
the episode eight will be at the vegan
1334
00:48:30,750 --> 00:48:34,470
place in Chicago that's been existing for 40
1335
00:48:34,470 --> 00:48:35,330
years.
1336
00:48:35,630 --> 00:48:35,970
What?
1337
00:48:37,230 --> 00:48:39,530
That's why I stay tuned on Unchained TV
1338
00:48:39,530 --> 00:48:40,950
for the episode eight of a Kel Crew
1339
00:48:40,950 --> 00:48:43,730
show because 40 years ago they didn't even
1340
00:48:43,730 --> 00:48:46,370
have a vegan word established so they called
1341
00:48:46,370 --> 00:48:47,590
it vegetarian restaurant.
1342
00:48:47,750 --> 00:48:50,070
Even though it was 100% vegan, they
1343
00:48:50,070 --> 00:48:52,470
just didn't know how to call it differently
1344
00:48:52,470 --> 00:48:54,270
but they called it a vegetarian restaurant.
1345
00:48:54,590 --> 00:48:56,770
So I think vegetarian is still somewhere in
1346
00:48:56,770 --> 00:48:58,430
their name or they switched it to the
1347
00:48:58,430 --> 00:48:59,050
veg now.
1348
00:48:59,390 --> 00:49:01,750
But anyway, you're going to find out more
1349
00:49:01,750 --> 00:49:03,610
about this in an episode eight and I
1350
00:49:03,610 --> 00:49:05,310
just wanted to give like a little preview
1351
00:49:05,310 --> 00:49:07,790
so you guys can be excited about it
1352
00:49:07,790 --> 00:49:10,030
and look forward to episodes to come.
1353
00:49:10,030 --> 00:49:11,970
Well, that's really exciting.
1354
00:49:12,150 --> 00:49:13,730
It reminds me of when I was in
1355
00:49:13,730 --> 00:49:17,950
Zurich and they said that the world's oldest
1356
00:49:17,950 --> 00:49:19,770
vegan restaurant existed.
1357
00:49:19,910 --> 00:49:21,190
The world's oldest vegetarian.
1358
00:49:22,090 --> 00:49:24,930
And I went there and it was a
1359
00:49:24,930 --> 00:49:27,130
buffet style restaurant.
1360
00:49:27,450 --> 00:49:28,630
That's what it is.
1361
00:49:29,930 --> 00:49:31,930
It was almost 100% vegan.
1362
00:49:32,010 --> 00:49:33,490
In fact, I didn't see anything that wasn't
1363
00:49:33,490 --> 00:49:33,810
vegan.
1364
00:49:34,150 --> 00:49:36,830
They called it vegetarian but that was one
1365
00:49:36,830 --> 00:49:40,290
of the highlights of my life, honestly.
1366
00:49:40,630 --> 00:49:42,910
Because I'm trying to remember the name of
1367
00:49:42,910 --> 00:49:44,350
it but I was like, really?
1368
00:49:44,450 --> 00:49:45,290
The world's oldest?
1369
00:49:45,450 --> 00:49:47,130
And I went there and it was just
1370
00:49:47,130 --> 00:49:47,990
like magical.
1371
00:49:48,150 --> 00:49:50,230
It was like when I saw Santa Claus
1372
00:49:50,230 --> 00:49:51,630
for the first time, you know?
1373
00:49:52,030 --> 00:49:54,390
I just had that feeling of like, wow!
1374
00:49:55,150 --> 00:49:56,110
So, oh!
1375
00:49:56,470 --> 00:49:58,370
This is so very exciting.
1376
00:49:58,790 --> 00:50:00,270
We've got another caller.
1377
00:50:00,690 --> 00:50:02,110
Annie in Sherman Oaks.
1378
00:50:02,110 --> 00:50:04,030
Your question or thought for the stars of
1379
00:50:04,030 --> 00:50:05,650
Kale Crew on Unchained TV.
1380
00:50:06,930 --> 00:50:08,210
Oh my goodness!
1381
00:50:08,390 --> 00:50:09,850
Thank you for having my call, Jane.
1382
00:50:09,930 --> 00:50:10,650
Oh my goodness!
1383
00:50:10,770 --> 00:50:12,350
I'm so excited to be here with you
1384
00:50:12,350 --> 00:50:12,550
guys.
1385
00:50:12,650 --> 00:50:15,830
Your energy is so, oh my god!
1386
00:50:15,890 --> 00:50:16,730
I love it.
1387
00:50:17,090 --> 00:50:20,590
It just gets through everybody, through the channels
1388
00:50:20,590 --> 00:50:21,130
and everything.
1389
00:50:21,270 --> 00:50:22,410
I've been sharing like crazy.
1390
00:50:22,950 --> 00:50:24,370
I love your energy.
1391
00:50:24,470 --> 00:50:27,290
How did you two get together and make
1392
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:28,190
this happen?
1393
00:50:28,570 --> 00:50:29,910
This is so beautiful.
1394
00:50:30,190 --> 00:50:32,370
What you're doing is incredible work.
1395
00:50:32,650 --> 00:50:34,590
I love everything you're doing and I can
1396
00:50:34,590 --> 00:50:36,310
hardly wait for us to come there.
1397
00:50:37,370 --> 00:50:38,330
Let's do it!
1398
00:50:38,570 --> 00:50:39,110
Road trip!
1399
00:50:39,730 --> 00:50:40,170
We're on!
1400
00:50:43,350 --> 00:50:44,310
I can't wait.
1401
00:50:44,430 --> 00:50:45,110
I can't wait.
1402
00:50:45,230 --> 00:50:47,370
Okay, thanks Annie.
1403
00:50:47,790 --> 00:50:48,310
Go ahead.
1404
00:50:48,890 --> 00:50:51,110
Mika and I met inside of Kale My
1405
00:50:51,110 --> 00:50:51,410
Name.
1406
00:50:52,330 --> 00:50:55,130
She was previously a guest of Kale My
1407
00:50:55,130 --> 00:50:56,270
Name where we didn't meet.
1408
00:50:56,430 --> 00:50:57,430
She was sitting on the patio.
1409
00:50:57,570 --> 00:50:59,430
I was not there, but like I know
1410
00:50:59,430 --> 00:51:01,410
she had some pictures from it.
1411
00:51:01,410 --> 00:51:04,990
It was one of her friends' birthday party.
1412
00:51:05,430 --> 00:51:07,830
Jane, when I tell you, they showed up.
1413
00:51:08,370 --> 00:51:10,950
It was really a ball for them.
1414
00:51:11,050 --> 00:51:11,970
They dressed up.
1415
00:51:12,130 --> 00:51:13,150
They looked so good.
1416
00:51:13,370 --> 00:51:16,030
They booked our fabulous tea party at Kale
1417
00:51:16,030 --> 00:51:16,490
My Name.
1418
00:51:16,990 --> 00:51:18,330
I don't know if you know that Kale
1419
00:51:18,330 --> 00:51:19,550
My Name does tea parties.
1420
00:51:19,790 --> 00:51:22,030
You can dress up, put a tea party
1421
00:51:22,030 --> 00:51:22,350
hat.
1422
00:51:22,450 --> 00:51:23,510
There's a whole tower.
1423
00:51:25,110 --> 00:51:26,970
I've been there and I just stared at
1424
00:51:26,970 --> 00:51:27,190
them.
1425
00:51:27,290 --> 00:51:28,730
I was like, they're so beautiful.
1426
00:51:28,910 --> 00:51:30,230
I'm going to drop a picture.
1427
00:51:30,470 --> 00:51:32,010
I have to put this on our Instagram
1428
00:51:32,010 --> 00:51:34,350
so people see how fabulous our guests are.
1429
00:51:35,290 --> 00:51:36,290
That's how we met.
1430
00:51:36,370 --> 00:51:37,170
We just clicked.
1431
00:51:37,410 --> 00:51:39,850
We switched social media handles.
1432
00:51:41,950 --> 00:51:45,170
Then later on, visit by visit at Kale
1433
00:51:45,170 --> 00:51:47,890
My Name, we started even working together because
1434
00:51:47,890 --> 00:51:50,130
Tamika promotes all of these places.
1435
00:51:50,510 --> 00:51:52,670
I wanted us to do a little business
1436
00:51:52,670 --> 00:51:53,050
together.
1437
00:51:53,330 --> 00:51:55,290
I invited her to come and create some
1438
00:51:55,290 --> 00:51:57,290
super exciting reels from Kale My Name, which
1439
00:51:57,290 --> 00:51:57,730
she did.
1440
00:51:58,190 --> 00:52:00,110
They were really, really, really good.
1441
00:52:00,590 --> 00:52:02,450
Then we just started talking a lot.
1442
00:52:02,710 --> 00:52:05,930
I think our friendship really turned into friendship,
1443
00:52:06,070 --> 00:52:08,290
friendship, where we came to the idea to
1444
00:52:08,290 --> 00:52:10,170
visit Atlanta together for food.
1445
00:52:10,430 --> 00:52:13,650
We went to Atlanta and ate at five
1446
00:52:13,650 --> 00:52:14,430
restaurants a day.
1447
00:52:15,470 --> 00:52:15,870
What?
1448
00:52:17,830 --> 00:52:20,550
How do you keep that girlish figure?
1449
00:52:23,990 --> 00:52:25,710
Listen, it's a vegan food.
1450
00:52:26,850 --> 00:52:28,210
It's a vegan food.
1451
00:52:28,430 --> 00:52:30,230
We walk a lot.
1452
00:52:30,370 --> 00:52:32,290
We walked a lot and we got wet
1453
00:52:32,290 --> 00:52:33,130
because it rained.
1454
00:52:33,870 --> 00:52:35,870
We were running at that point.
1455
00:52:36,170 --> 00:52:37,630
Maybe we ran.
1456
00:52:38,850 --> 00:52:41,810
I think the thing I like the most
1457
00:52:41,810 --> 00:52:44,010
about your show, if I had to summarise
1458
00:52:44,010 --> 00:52:47,970
it, is that you make veganism so fun.
1459
00:52:48,450 --> 00:52:49,670
It is so fun.
1460
00:52:49,670 --> 00:52:51,830
You're not just putting it on.
1461
00:52:52,430 --> 00:52:55,750
I would say my worst day as a
1462
00:52:55,750 --> 00:52:59,610
vegan is better than my best day as
1463
00:52:59,610 --> 00:53:00,770
an omnivore.
1464
00:53:01,450 --> 00:53:03,590
I have a certain joy.
1465
00:53:03,810 --> 00:53:06,390
We just also launched a new show called
1466
00:53:06,390 --> 00:53:07,330
Doctor Moms.
1467
00:53:07,570 --> 00:53:11,750
It explains that your serotonin levels are determined
1468
00:53:11,750 --> 00:53:12,970
by your gut biome.
1469
00:53:13,390 --> 00:53:15,530
Your gut biome is determined by what you
1470
00:53:15,530 --> 00:53:15,890
eat.
1471
00:53:16,290 --> 00:53:18,990
All these people who are taking antidepressants, if
1472
00:53:18,990 --> 00:53:21,170
they switch to a plant-based diet, I
1473
00:53:21,170 --> 00:53:22,850
think they might do better, Tameka.
1474
00:53:23,270 --> 00:53:24,750
It could definitely help.
1475
00:53:25,510 --> 00:53:27,730
We need an adequate amount of sunlight.
1476
00:53:28,370 --> 00:53:29,770
We need to be one with nature.
1477
00:53:30,170 --> 00:53:31,570
That includes plants.
1478
00:53:31,750 --> 00:53:32,550
It really, really does.
1479
00:53:32,790 --> 00:53:36,330
I remember when I was an omnivore and
1480
00:53:36,330 --> 00:53:38,630
I just loved burgers and pizza and all
1481
00:53:38,630 --> 00:53:39,170
that kind of stuff.
1482
00:53:39,250 --> 00:53:42,370
I remember every time I would eat, every
1483
00:53:42,370 --> 00:53:44,210
single time, I would feel like I had
1484
00:53:44,210 --> 00:53:45,710
to go to sleep, like I needed to
1485
00:53:45,710 --> 00:53:46,250
take a nap.
1486
00:53:46,470 --> 00:53:48,350
That is not the case anymore.
1487
00:53:49,430 --> 00:53:52,210
I would have went plant-based sooner if
1488
00:53:52,210 --> 00:53:54,330
I would have known that the energy was
1489
00:53:54,330 --> 00:53:56,190
just going to shoot through the roof.
1490
00:53:56,330 --> 00:53:58,830
At this point, being in my 40s, I'm
1491
00:53:58,830 --> 00:54:00,570
just like, I need every drop of energy
1492
00:54:00,570 --> 00:54:02,630
now, especially for all these goals and dreams.
1493
00:54:03,090 --> 00:54:04,750
I'm so happy to be plant-based.
1494
00:54:05,430 --> 00:54:06,670
Oh my gosh, yes.
1495
00:54:07,690 --> 00:54:09,130
First of all, I think there's going to
1496
00:54:09,130 --> 00:54:10,550
be a whole group and they want to
1497
00:54:10,550 --> 00:54:11,730
know when we're going.
1498
00:54:12,290 --> 00:54:14,990
I think early September might be a good
1499
00:54:14,990 --> 00:54:16,830
time to go to Chicago, right?
1500
00:54:17,150 --> 00:54:19,230
That could easily be a good time for
1501
00:54:19,230 --> 00:54:19,670
Chicago.
1502
00:54:19,950 --> 00:54:21,830
There might be something fun for the Kale
1503
00:54:21,830 --> 00:54:22,990
Crew show, but you're going to have to
1504
00:54:22,990 --> 00:54:23,590
stay tuned.
1505
00:54:23,910 --> 00:54:27,250
Make sure to follow both Samika and KaleMyName
1506
00:54:27,250 --> 00:54:29,230
on Instagram, so you'll be informed of all
1507
00:54:29,230 --> 00:54:30,990
the fun things that are coming your way.
1508
00:54:31,290 --> 00:54:33,170
Somebody says Chicago Diner.
1509
00:54:33,290 --> 00:54:35,090
Does this have any meaning for you?
1510
00:54:35,350 --> 00:54:36,970
I know what they're saying.
1511
00:54:37,050 --> 00:54:41,610
I know what they're saying, but just watch
1512
00:54:41,610 --> 00:54:42,290
Kale Crew.
1513
00:54:43,310 --> 00:54:44,150
All right.
1514
00:54:44,150 --> 00:54:45,590
I am so excited.
1515
00:54:45,950 --> 00:54:50,250
I literally have to say that this is
1516
00:54:50,250 --> 00:54:54,270
beyond my wildest expectations because you know what?
1517
00:54:54,690 --> 00:54:56,190
It's not easy putting together a show.
1518
00:54:56,450 --> 00:54:59,950
Let's give a shout out to Dajon, your
1519
00:54:59,950 --> 00:55:03,830
incredible videographer, editor who's done such a great
1520
00:55:03,830 --> 00:55:04,350
job.
1521
00:55:04,750 --> 00:55:05,970
It's a team effort.
1522
00:55:06,410 --> 00:55:09,050
Let me say that everybody is, I mean,
1523
00:55:09,130 --> 00:55:10,950
Nemanja and Tamika are volunteers.
1524
00:55:11,230 --> 00:55:11,990
I'm a volunteer.
1525
00:55:11,990 --> 00:55:13,150
None of us get paid.
1526
00:55:13,530 --> 00:55:15,790
We are here doing this to spread the
1527
00:55:15,790 --> 00:55:16,110
word.
1528
00:55:16,410 --> 00:55:19,010
I just want to say that people go,
1529
00:55:19,450 --> 00:55:19,550
really?
1530
00:55:19,850 --> 00:55:21,230
Aren't you monetising?
1531
00:55:21,390 --> 00:55:22,230
I go, you know what?
1532
00:55:22,950 --> 00:55:24,610
Money isn't going to mean that much if
1533
00:55:24,610 --> 00:55:27,130
we walk outside and can't walk a block
1534
00:55:27,130 --> 00:55:29,610
without collapsing because of the heat.
1535
00:55:30,250 --> 00:55:32,250
Money isn't going to mean that much if
1536
00:55:33,090 --> 00:55:35,690
our houses are destroyed or, as is happening
1537
00:55:35,690 --> 00:55:38,250
in California now, insurance companies don't want to
1538
00:55:38,250 --> 00:55:42,370
insure because there's so much risk involved.
1539
00:55:43,070 --> 00:55:47,530
While I'm nothing against money, We love money.
1540
00:55:47,850 --> 00:55:49,770
Yeah, we love money, but the point is
1541
00:55:49,770 --> 00:55:52,870
that this is a passion project and we
1542
00:55:52,870 --> 00:55:55,830
all share the same passion is to wake
1543
00:55:55,830 --> 00:55:57,010
people up.
1544
00:55:57,430 --> 00:55:59,530
We are pretty much out of time.
1545
00:56:00,050 --> 00:56:01,870
Ten seconds from each of you and then
1546
00:56:01,870 --> 00:56:03,150
we're going to call it a day.
1547
00:56:03,450 --> 00:56:03,970
Tamika?
1548
00:56:04,330 --> 00:56:05,930
I just want to say thanks so much
1549
00:56:05,930 --> 00:56:07,970
for having me and I really appreciate everybody
1550
00:56:07,970 --> 00:56:10,790
that tuned in and engaged with us and
1551
00:56:10,790 --> 00:56:13,050
also, Jane, I want you to know and
1552
00:56:13,050 --> 00:56:14,590
Neiman, I want you to know that the
1553
00:56:14,590 --> 00:56:18,050
money is coming because we're doing this as
1554
00:56:18,050 --> 00:56:20,810
a passion and a love and the content
1555
00:56:20,810 --> 00:56:23,250
is just so, so just awesome.
1556
00:56:23,410 --> 00:56:24,150
You can feel it.
1557
00:56:24,270 --> 00:56:25,510
You can feel the genuineness.
1558
00:56:25,630 --> 00:56:26,710
So I just want to say thank you
1559
00:56:26,710 --> 00:56:27,350
all so much.
1560
00:56:27,710 --> 00:56:29,910
Well, we thank you for your participation.
1561
00:56:30,730 --> 00:56:31,910
Namasha, ten seconds.
1562
00:56:32,610 --> 00:56:34,950
Thank you, Jane, for just taking a chance
1563
00:56:34,950 --> 00:56:35,290
with us.
1564
00:56:35,370 --> 00:56:37,050
Thank you, Tamika, for saying yes to me.
1565
00:56:37,150 --> 00:56:39,690
Thank you, Diane, for our videographer and editor
1566
00:56:39,690 --> 00:56:42,490
and thank you, Hungry Chaos, for tuning in
1567
00:56:42,490 --> 00:56:44,630

Woo-hoo!
1572
