Summary
Excited to chat about this popular topic with my friend Dan Churchill, a performance chef, host of The Epic Table podcast, and owner of Charley St. here in New York. On today’s episode, we dive into all of the plant-based diet questions, from the benefits and how to go about eating this way to exactly how plant-based fans get their protein and what a typical day of eating could look like. Plus: Dan talks about the benefits of seaweed, gushes over all things gut health, and I giggle at least 12 times about how he says different words with his heavy Australian accent.
