Species,

species, unite, unite.

I understand that when you have been using a restaurant for many years for customers it's normal to think that somehow you own a little bit like oh this is my table

this is my restaurant and you know and then when the restaurant changed completely, you feel really betrayed.

I invited them. I invited a lot of people, a lot of my regular customer, I said, don't worry,

we have changed, but nothing has changed. You know, just come, I invite you and your family, you come and eat just like you used to do, and you are going to love it.

And they did not. And they took revenge. Took revenge.

To revenge.

To revenge.

Hi, I'm Elizabeth Novigrats. This is Species Unite. For the month of October, we are doing

the Species Unite vegan challenge, and we think that you should do it with us. So go to our website

species unite.com and sign up for it. It's fun, delicious, and really easy. For 30

days you'll receive a small dose of plant-based magic in your inbox.

And we also have some spectacular prizes from ERA New York luxury footwear and from me, luxury, luxury vegan handbags.

If 30 days feels like it's too much for you,

then just do the first 10. This conversation is with Alexis Gautier.

Alexis opened his first restaurant in London when he was 24 and he got his first

Michelin star a couple years after that. He is a French chef who has run Gotee Soho

for many many years and for a great part of that time he served

traditional French food but in 2016 Alexis became vegan and in 2021 he removed all animal products from his restaurant menus.

This created quite the uproar. I met Alexis last week in London and I had dinner at Gote Soho the day after we met.

The food was seriously some of the best I've ever had. Alexis, thank you so much for being here. It's very nice to meet you.
