Bon Appétit's latest issue of Bravo is plant-powered! 💪 Will it buffalo? It's a question our chefs have been asking as we work to put plants center stage. To grow a movement, first you need to plant a seed. In a series of plant-forward trainings held throughout the country last year, our culinarians were able to play with their food – literally! Executive Chef Chris Lenza led many of these trainings with the simple premise: Treat your vegetables with the same love, care, and respect you give your animal proteins. To explore how we’re pursuing a plant-forward future, check out the full Bravo article on page 36: https://lnkd.in/geqkTVQu
