This week on The Hot Slice Podcast we are going behind the judges' curtain at this year's International Pizza Challenge at Pizza Expo in Las Vegas. Jeremy and Denise get the inside scoop on IPC judging from longtime judges Hassi Sadri, Scott Wiener and Scott Anthony. The International Pizza Challenge has long been the premier pizza competition and it's getting even better. IPC has always held high standards and code of ethics for judging. This year, judging has become even more transparent. Our three esteemed guests outline new initiatives to aid in transparency and training the 50 judges who will evaluate entries to help them be on the same page and make sure that every pizza is judged fairly and consistently. Pizza Expo will host nearly 500 competitors. The International Pizza Challenge consists of 5 divisions: Traditional, Non-Traditional, Neapolitan/STG, Pan, & World's Best Cheese Slice. The International Italian Sandwich Competition returns. Partner competitions include the California-Style Competition, hosted by the California Milk Advisory Board; Ooni Pizza Throwdown, hosted by Ooni; and Plant-Based Competition, hosted by Daiya. Special thanks to Michael LaMarca, Jeremy Galvin and the team at Master Pizza who runs IPC and show director Bill Oakley for their continued efforts and improvements to the competitions.

FOOD INDUSTRY AND HARVEST NEWS: Daiya Cheese To Address Texture Issues With New Oat Cream Made Using Fermentation Daiya hopes to address the “inconsistency across the taste and texture,” of dairy-free cheese products. The new oat blend will be featured in shreds, slices, blocks and sticks of Daiya cheese. “Up until now, we know that the #1 thing holding the category back is that it hasn't delivered on consumers' taste expectations,” Melanie Domer, Daiya's chief commercial officer, said in an emailed statement to Food Dive. “Cheese is the ultimate comfort food, and as a result, there are high expectations.” -Source: Food Dive TODAY'S MAIN TOPIC: Imported “Grass-Fed” Beef Sold As Product Of The USA-Legally? American Grass Fed Beef Undercut By Foreign Competition Due To Obama COOL Law. The Grass-fed beef scam. Share of this market was 60% for US Cattle Farmers now 15% due to this law and cheap competition. Read-SCAM Bubba Foods, a Jacksonville, Florida-based company whose products are sold by major retailers like Walmart, Kroger, and Wegman's, puts its American-made claims front and center. The label on the company's grass-fed ground beef displays a prominent “Product of USA” banner, complete with an American flag—and, if that wasn't enough, the proud phrase “Born & Raised in the USA.” But paperwork filed with USDA, obtained by the American Grassfed Association and shared with me, suggests the product may not be American at all—at least, not in the conventional sense most shoppers would understand. From The Federal Register "We are proposing to amend the regulations governing the importation of certain animals, meat, and other animal products by allowing, under certain conditions, the importation of fresh (chilled or frozen) beef from Paraguay. Based on the evidence from a risk analysis, we have determined that fresh beef can safely be imported from Paraguay, provided certain conditions are met..." From White Oak Pastures: Today, thanks to the fact that there is no mandatory "Country of Origin" labeling law, consumers are consuming beef raised and slaughtered in these foreign countries under the guise that it's a product of the USA. Our beef imports come from all over the world, apparently now including Paraguay. Other countries we import from include, but are certainly not limited to: Brazil, Uruguay, Australia, Namibia, New Zealand, Mexico, Canada, Japan, China, and...the list continues. HOMESTEAD TSUNAMI: Crops That Store And Are High Calorie and Nutrient Dense: Potatoes can be stored over winter in a coolbox or root cellar Corn can be dried, frozen, ground, etc. Flint Corn, flour corn, dent corn Dry Beans-On average, you can grow 3-5 pounds per 100 square feet, but with the right techniques and proper use of vertical gardening, you can grow even more. Look for a Mexican variety Jimenez Pole Bean, its a terrific green bean, a shell bean, a dried bean… a large producer if you can find seed. Great video here about succotash. Green beans can be canned, frozen, and eaten all year long. Cabbage can be made into things like chow chow or sauerkraut, with loads of nutrition and flavor. Winter squash have loads of culinary versatility from pies to side dishes soups to stews, and can be canned frozen, or stored all winter in the root cellar Carrots of course are culinary superstars and store well in root cellar or can be frozen or canned. Onions & garlic are easy to grow and store well plus they can be frozen or dried. ECONOMIC NEWS: Recently France & Italy posted prints with deflation or falling prices. Even though we have been battling with inflation here food etc. things like cars, homes, fuel, and recreational equipment are all don considerably, good if you're a buyer, bad if you're a seller. What goes up must come down. PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION: Carbon Steel Pans-if you can get them properly seasoned they are wonderful and perform better than cast iron. I recommend Lodge or any French brand. CLOSING THOUGHTS: Buyer beware, best to shop for beef at local farms or suppliers who are vertically integrated and process on-farm, that is the best scenario.

My Website: https://dairyfreedudeid.wixsite.com/mysite Here's the Recipe for you: 1 clove of garlic 1 cup of chicken broth 1 cup of a cooking wine, like marsala A pound of assorted cheese subsitutes (just remember, dairy free cheese is often of a weaker flavor than actual cheese, so try to choose the alternate cheese with the strongest flavors, such as Daiya's Cheddar blocks, some Follow Your Heart Parmesan shreds, dairy free gouda cheese and smoky cheese, Daiya Jack cheese blocks, and also ground up Nutritional Yeast Flakes. And they have to be ground up, because you want the fondue to be smooth. If you want a little zing in your fondue, you can also add about 1/8 teaspoon of lemon juice) 1 tablespoon of potato starch flour Salt, ground black pepper, and nutmeg to taste And dip-able items like bread pieces, cooked meat, and veggies First, get out the cheese substitutes you'll be using and let them get to room temperature. Next, you should pull out a sauteuse pan, which is a deep sided saute pan, but not a pot, and rub it with the clove of garlic, then put the sauteuse over low heat and add the wine and broth. While that's heating up, mix together the flour and cheese mixture. Once the cooking wine starts making bubbles, slowly add the flour and cheese mixture, stirring with a whisk until it melts. Finally, add the salt, pepper, and nutmeg to your taste. After that, put the fondue mixture into a fondue pot to keep it warm, if you have one, and start dipping your dip-ables! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

The Table Talk Podcast has had the pleasure of talking to passionate innovators from across the world of food, drink and nutrition. With plant-based food achieving significant growth in the past few years, the producers, platforms and personalities in the plant-based sector are among the biggest drivers of innovation and NPD in food. In this collection, we look back at three guests who've been doing their part to impact the way we view compassionate eating, and to offer tasty, healthy alternatives to traditional animal proteins. Meet Derek Sarno, co-founder of Wicked Healthy, LLC, and Executive Chef & Director of Plant-Based Innovation for Tesco PLC, to hear about his journey supporting plant-based innovation at Tesco, Chris Kerr, Founding Partner, CIO, Unovis Partners; CIO New Crop Capital; Co-Founder, Gathered Foods (US), to find out how he's helping to promote seafood alternatives to reduce the impact on our oceans, and Ria Rehberg, CEO of Veganuary to hear how the annual vegan pledge has managed to help save the carbon equivalent of driving around the world 15 times. Join the conversation on Table Talk.

Ok, confession time. I love Daiya Cheese. I KNOW!!!!! For so many people it seems to be a love or hate thing.

The meat alternative market has plenty of burgers, sausages, and steaks to meet the demands of an increasingly flexitarian marketplace. However, seafood alternatives have been scarce compared to the options available for beef, pork and chicken. Why is this the case? Well, seafood presents some unique experiential challenges, primarily with mouth feel and texture, that are part of what we associate with eating fish. In this podcast we look at these challenges, and the opportunities, that seafood alternative producers are confronting to create new and tasty fish alternatives. “Seafood is one of those proteins that is everywhere.

“We spent 50 years fighting industry and I mean, fighting industry. And we were poking a bear and poking a bear and poking a bear. And then one day that bear came up and just nuzzled us under the neck and said, “okay, we're interested.” …It was industry, it was the big players that came in and said, “why are we fighting this? If consumers are asking for plant-based, we can sell plant-based.’” – Chris Kerr Chris Kerr is on a mission to upend the entire food industry. Chris is the Chief Investment Officer at Unovis/New Crop Capital, a venture capital fund that invests in entrepreneurs whose products or services replace foods derived from animal agriculture. He is also the co-founder and CEO of Gathered Foods, known for its Good Catch plant-based seafood products, the co-founder and Director of Wicked Foods, and the director of Cultivated Food Labs. Chris is one of the first people that helped direct early-stage investments for plant-based food companies. He’s been focused on impact investing with a concentration on the plant-based food sector since 2007, when he worked with the Humane Society of the United States to manage their investments into the plant-based food industry and played a key role in helping Daiya cheese secure distribution in Whole Foods Market. “You can't rescue your way out of the animal protection world, you just can’t. So, what can we do to actually do to change it at its base? If we can change people's opinion about eating plants, eating something other than animals, then maybe we wouldn't have to keep hitting them over the head with the ethical and moral baseball bat.” – Chris Kerr Chris is helping some of the top plant-based companies through investment funding and mentorship, all with the goal of accelerating the plant-based food industry and moving the world away from eating animals. I hope that you learn as much as I did from Chris and are as excited about what’s happening with the future of food. Please listen and share.

These days, it’s commonplace to see vegan restaurants in cities across America. Just a few years ago, however, few options existed and the ones that did weren’t very good, according to T.K. Pillan, the chairman and co-founder of fast-casual restaurant chain Veggie Grill. A former tech entrepreneur, Pillan sold his web development company in 2004 and set out to create a destination for delicious vegan food with wide consumer appeal. He and co-founder Kevin Boylan opened the first Veggie Grill location in Irvine, California in 2006 and the store was an instant hit. Thirteen years later, Veggie Grill now has 37 locations and is planning to operate 50 stores by 2020. Pillan is also a partner with Powerplant Ventures, which invests in disruptive plant-centric concepts. In an interview included in this episode, Pillan spoke about his transition from tech to food, how the first Veggie Grill got off the ground and why the company has taken a patient approach to expansion. He also explained why it’s critical for co-founders to be aligned on vision and values, what means to be “a good investor” and discussed the evolution of plant-based food brands. Show notes: 2:44: Interview: T.K. Pillan, Co-Founder, Veggie Grill/PowerPlant Ventures -- NOSH editor Carol Ortenberg spoke with Pillan about his background in business, how he became passionate about food as medicine and the “light bulbs” that led to the creation of Veggie Grill. He also discussed the common theme in all of his businesses, why it’s critical for co-founders to have a clear understanding of roles and complementary skill sets, resolving challenges at Veggie Grill’s second location and why he describes growth plans as “a double-edged sword.” Later, he explained why hiring a CEO was key to managing expansion, why he believes “alignment is 1% and execution is 99%” and how Veggie Grill evaluates brand partnerships. Pillan also spoke about his work with PowerPlant Ventures, opportunities to innovate in plant-based food and his thoughts about Burger King’s plant-based Impossible Whopper. Brands in this episode: Beyond Meat, Follow Your Heart, Daiya, Gardein, REBBL, Ripple, Beanfields, Health Warrior, Impossible Foods

Every time I do an event, people say they would buy the Vegan tee shirts, except they're vegetarian. This is an excuse people use because their taste buds are more important than animal’s lives. They don't understand that to make dairy, the mother has to be pregnant to create milk for the baby. The males are sent to slaughter at 20 weeks old, and the females become dairy cows. So being vegetarian really isn't kind to animals. We need to think about why milk is created. Milk is produced to nourish a baby, and that's it. Humans are the only animals on the planet that drink milk after infancy and definitely the only animal that drinks milk from another species. It bothers me when people say that they are lactose intolerant. It's a term the dairy industry made up to make it okay to drink milk even though you're an adult. Lactose intolerant exists for a reason. You're not supposed to drink milk when you're in a. You're not a baby. Let's look at how much fluid is required to make cheese in the reason milk in dairy is so addictive. It has a form of morphine in it, and that makes sense out of evolutionary state because when a baby's upset and they're hungry. They come to the mother, and they nurture, they get fed, calm down, and then they'll come back. It takes 10 gallons of milk to make what it takes. Ten pounds of milk to make one pound of cheese. You're getting 10 times the morphine in cheese, and you're getting in milk. Also, European cheeses contain rennet now rennet is the curdled milk from the stomach of an unweaned calf, and that's a male calf because they don't kill the females, and if you buy an American cheese, they don't carry this kind of rennet, and that's probably because the male calves never get fed milk. They are instantly taken away from their mothers and then put into boxes. Now there's a vegetable rennet which non-dairy cheeses use, and that is usually made of fissile. There's a microbial rennet. Which is often derived from mold, but it gives it a slightly bitter taste, and then there's agenda genetically engineered it, which I don't know if this is Vegan or not. You have to make a decision. I don't think it's Vegan, but it's derived with plants that have been injected with cow genes. What can you have if you're making the switch to veganism? There are so many plant-based cheeses now that we really don't have to eat dairy cheese anymore. One of my favorites is Chao cheese. It contains filtered water, coconut oil, modified corn, and potato starch, potato starch, fermented Chao tofu (soybeans, water, salt, sesame oil, calcium sulfate), sea salt, natural flavor, olive extract (antioxidant used as a preservative) and beta carotene color. This is perfect for sandwiches and grilled cheese. Those are two of our favorites for it. Daiya is another brand that you can use. We use this for our tacos and baked potatoes. It also melts really well. And then for bagels, we use cream cheese. This Tofutti cream cheese. This is my favorite. It is water, expeller processed natural oil blend (soybean, palm fruit, and olive), maltodextrin, non-GMO (soy protein, tofu), non-dairy lactic acid, blend of natural gums (locust bean, guar, cellulose, and xanthan), organic sugar and salt. Most of these cheeses are pretty widely available at your grocery store. You just have to check. Definitely Giant, Wegmans, and Whole Foods carry them. If you're just looking for a cheese that you can slice and have with wine and crackers, Miyoko's makes excellent cheese. Punk Rock Labs makes a block of good cheese. Treeline, Heidi Ho, makes a delicious cheese. There's a lot of cheese alternatives out there now, and they're usually made with cashews or not. So those are all these good and alternatives. So now you really have no excuse to still eating cheese. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/vegan-styled-life/support
Fabian sits down with Chris Kerr, the Chief Investment Officer at New Crop Capital, who has nearly 30 years of leadership experience with startups and venture capital investing. He has spent the last decade focused on impact investing with a concentration on the plant based foods sector. We recorded this episode the day after Beyond Meat hit the stock market. The brand is a poster child of Chris Kerr's investment portfolio, and it also is an industry daring darling. And what went well beyond the wildest expectations with stock trading at nearly triples from the original IPO price the day after, this episode is filled with enthusiasm and learnings that go well beyond one brand. An episode any entrepreneur should digest as we discuss the importance of naming, how you can build a company around a brand and how a startup needs to test, test, test, and then test again. You can learn more about Chris via the New Crop Capital site. ____Full Transcript: F Geyrhalter: Welcome to Hitting the Mark. Today, we go beyond meat. Yes, that was a brand hint. And not only do we go beyond beef, but also butter, cheese, chicken, ice cream, sea food, and yogurt. Today, we're diving into the future of food, for the development of replacements to animal protein products. I first read about Chris Kerr in the Good Business issue of Bloomberg Business Week way back in December, 2018, which dedicated four entire pages to his story. Which is quite an accomplishment. As sometimes is the case, good things take time. But today, he is on my show, and I couldn't be any more honored to have him here. Chris is the chief investment officer at New Crop Capital, and has nearly 30 years of leadership experience with startups and venture capital investing. He has spent the last decade focused on impact investing with a concentration on the plant based foods sector. As CIO, Chris manages the portfolio strategy and serves as a strategic advisor to most portfolio companies. Chris also serves as co-CEO and chair of Good Catch, managing member of TRELLIS NEW ENDEAVORS, director of Purple Carrot and Next Foods, and observes Miyoko's Kitchen. Additionally, Chris is a director at Unovis Partners, Sirabella's, Wicked Healthy, Math Garden, Pitcairn Financial Group, and Monarch Corporation. How does he do it all? I do not know. And how does he find time to talk branding with us here is less mystery than it is a testament to his dedication to the cause and to fellow entrepreneurs. With that being said, welcome, Chris. C Kerr: Thank you very much for having me. I'm looking forward to a lively conversation. F Geyrhalter: It's a pleasure. You say lively conversation because you and I chatted before, and I know you only got two hours of sleep. So first off, congratulations, what a day. We're recording this show on May 3rd, 2019, which happens to be the day after Beyond Meat went IPO. And what must have gone well beyond the wildest expectations with stock trading at nearly triples from the original IPO price. This also marks a first for a company making meat-like products from plants. So that's a pretty big thing, to hit the stock market. Chris, Beyond Meat is a poster child of your investment portfolio, and it also is an industry daring darling, I would say. What does this day mean to you? What does it mean to the industry as a whole? C Kerr: Well, my wife and I talked about this yesterday. My other business partner, Chad Sarna, who's a chef in this space, I would put this down as the single greatest day in the entire time I've been working in this space. I got into this area, and I'm an animal guy. I love animals, enough suffering in the world. I figured, let's try to take some of my abilities and work on putting them towards solutions to solving what we consider to be a crisis. When we started this effort, it was really around 2005. In 2007, I went to work for the Humane Society of the United States, trying to bring solutions to solve some of the things that they were working on. At the time, Beyond Meat was a little company called J Green Foods, the business plan was a very typical first business plan for a company, which if you're smart, a lot of founders will throw those away as quickly as possible. The company really evolved, from really this startup mode. But it was as time went, Silicon Valley was just starting to pay attention to this particular space. What we didn't know at the time was where this would go. So back in 2007, 2008, when I started this, really, it was very hard to get anybody to pay attention to what we were doing. The markets had collapsed, nobody really wanted to take any venture capital investments, let alone vegan food. Good lord, nobody thought that there was anything to do there. So to have this culminate from that, which was really kind of grabbing at straws, hoping something could evolve into a disruptive technology, to an IPO that then just outperformed everyone's expectations. And I've got to tell you, that was only one of three amazing things that happened yesterday. I can't talk too much about the other three. But I can just tell you that the world has completely shifted from the days of J Green Foods to what is now Beyond Meat's IPO and the fact that virtually, every major strategic food conglomerate out there is sitting up and paying really big attention to this space. I have to say, I'm delighted that I happened to have stuck it out this long. So it was really a [crosstalk 00:05:12] day. F Geyrhalter: And you played quite an integral part of this whole thing. Not only Beyond Meat, but of the entire, I guess we can call it now, of the movement. That really, like you said, just happened in the last couple of years, where it really started seeing an impact. So congratulations, it's really big stuff. C Kerr: Well thank you. Like I said, time, luck, circumstance, sometimes just being in the right place for long enough, something's going to hit you. What's the saying? Even a broken clock is right two times a day. So, [crosstalk 00:05:46]. F Geyrhalter: Very modest of you. So just the other week, I think it was last week actually, I listened to our local NPR station, here in Los Angeles, KCRW, and I caught Beyond Meat founder Ethan Brown taking us through a behind the scenes tour of the factory. It was really, really fascinating. I'm a big fan of the product and so are a lot of people all over the world. I think by now, their plant based burger patties are being sold in the meat section, which by itself, is such a huge accomplishment, in about 30,000 stores. It's in Burger King, it's in Carl's Jr, Del Taco, and I even spotted it at Dodger's Stadium here, in LA. So the startup was founded in 2009, that's when you were involved with them. The patties started hitting stores really in 2016, and I mean it's 2019 now. So this is now actually going to market has not been too long of a distance to IPO. I mean, that's pretty crazy. The brand also has some even higher profile investors than yourself. There's Bill Gates, Leonardo DiCaprio, and former McDonald's CEO Don Thompson. When I heard about this, this basically underlines what you just said, right? The world is changing. Just recently, they secured the CFO's of Coca-Cola and Twitter to be on the board of directors. So with Beyond Meat, when did the team start to actively invest either time or money into brand strategy? Or into defining the voice, or actually the design. Do you feel it was a conscious decision from day one? Or was it something that kind of happened over time? C Kerr: It happened over time. But a lot of these companies don't get it right right out of the gate. Like I said, the company was started as J Green Foods. It became Savage River Foods, which was the name of a river that ran through Ethan Brown's home property in Maryland. It had to evolve. So branding was really interesting, and positioning is really important, too. F Geyrhalter: Right. C Kerr: I'm not an expert in any of this, by the way. Usually, this type of thing happens way above my pay grade. In this case is no exception. What we look at in our investment portfolios, we focus on what I refer to as the food pact. You may have heard me talk about this in the past. But we make decisions on food based on the efficiency of four key levers, it's taste, awareness, convenience, and price. We looked at, even if you look at kind of the evolution of Beyond Meat, they came to market with a chicken. It was a pretty good chicken, it was gluten free. But arguably, it wasn't the best on the market. Gardein was out there, it was a great product, but it had wheat gluten in it. So Beyond Meat said, "Let's try something a little bit different with pea protein." Which really kind of changed the focus towards pea protein, that was the early adopter of it. So their positioning really tied to that brand, their branding tied to that positioning. Who were they going to and why? So when you look at your customer, first of all, I've just got to focus on this. Taste is the most important thing by far. F Geyrhalter: Right. C Kerr: We always start with chefs. So in every case, chefs have to play a role in that. So when we start, when New Crop looks at a company, we always say, "Look, if we can get the taste right, the other things will slowly start to fall in place." If you miss taste, the rest is irrelevant. So when you look at Beyond Meat, they didn't start off really with chefs in there. We put a chef in there, a guy named David Anderson, who's arguably one of the best plant based chefs on the planet. He really helped them kind of refine some of their products in the mid range there. About five, six years in, he started helping with that. The Beyond burger, it came later, right? That was really just ... I'll say this about food companies, there's no such thing as an overnight success with food. Most companies don't get it right right out of the gate. If you look at, a good example is Silk soy milk, which everybody now knows. But that's a 40 year old company, and it was 20 years in before it invented White Waves Silk. F Geyrhalter: Wow. C Kerr: So a lot of these companies take a lot of time. What looks like overnight successes was, in fact, a lot of trial and error ahead of that. I don't think Beyond Meat's really much of an exception to that. They had some good products early on, but not enough to be groundbreaking. It wasn't until the Beyond burger came out that it really hit that inflection point. That just takes time sometimes. What they really did do is they really changed who the consumer was of this product. So if you look at the branding, the branding was not tied towards your early adopter vegans. Early adopter vegans, they're very principled, they're very loud, they love to talk about their findings, they have enormous price elasticity. They're very forgiving around taste. As you move out of that very small niche, which like I said is really critical when launching these companies. But as you move outside of them, your branding has to reflect what that consumer wants. Beyond Meat really followed that path in a really good way, where they understood the early adopters. They absolutely never violated the principles of those early adopters, that's really critical, because they will turn on you if you do. So you respect the early adopter's principles, because they do a lot of work for you. And you build that in as the baseline to how you build from there on out. I think that Beyond Meat just did an exceptional job of that. They never violated those principles. They were questioned about them. I think if you bring on Tyson as an investor, or put on an ex McDonald's CEO in the mix, some of those people will question that. But Ethan was spot on in saying, "Look, if we really want to help the cause, whether health is your driver, environment, sustainability, animal protection, welfare, you name it, everybody gets served by this if it can hit the mass market. So we really shifted that focus to addressing kind of the meat reducers, the flexitarians. And that Beyond burger is a bullseye. Sorry for the pun, but it's a bullseye.If you look at that inflection point, I think going forward in history, you're going to see everybody's game just got stepped up quite a bit. Consumers are, by far, one of the biggest beneficiaries of that. F Geyrhalter: Absolutely. I mean, I looked at how the company is currently using key opinion leaders, or influencers, and they are not at all the typically associated with the industry type influencers, right? As you mentioned, the company knew very quickly that in order to go mainstream America, they need to get mainstream America athletes and diverse people, like guys flipping a burger in the backyard, right? C Kerr: Right. F Geyrhalter: That's the kind of people that they want to get. Forming that narrative must have been such a huge, important part of changing customer behavior. So yeah, I mean, well done. I also think about the packaging design, right? Which is so crucial to any big box retail company brand. Beyond Meat did something that I believe, I do not know, but I believe, it must have played a big role in its success outside of having a great product with an equally convincing story is that it creating packaging that actually looked like typical burger patty packaging. It was shrink wrap, it was see through. And that was a far fetch from the typical green cardboard boxes associated with vegan products. C Kerr: Sure. F Geyrhalter: Which in itself, are already pretty off-putting. Were you part of that time already? Did you witness that part of their story? Where they said, "Let's just package it like meat, let's try to get into the meat section of the market." Was that already part of that? C Kerr: Well I think early on, they're not actually the first one to try to get into the meat section. Gardein did it early on, Kite Hill did it with their cheese in the dairy isle. The problem is, the early adopters don't walk into that. So those who are the most, I will say, the loudest, don't actually walk into those sections, right? That's your kind of vegan early adopters. So it didn't do great. When Beyond Meat came out, two important things happened. One was that the market had kind of shifted towards being a lot more open towards these types of products. But the other part is that this product was good enough to actually reside there. So once you hit that threshold of, you can actually stand next to a burger and it be darn close to parity on taste and price, then the convenience kind of falls into place and the awareness kicks in. I think Beyond Meat really had to hit that sweet spot there. Gardein was in the deli section of Whole Foods probably in 2008, yeah, 2008, 2009. It did okay, but not great. Kite Hill, their non-dairy cheese was buried in a very complex high-end cheese isle that was very hard to find. So when the vegans went looking for it, that wasn't an area that they went to. When Beyond Meat came along, like I said, there was enough awareness about the product that it was happening. Plenty of marketing dollars went into that, but the market advising was really critical and letting consumers know where to look mattered, it certainly mattered. So I think, Whole Foods, by the way, has just been really critical in helping shape the merchandising so the early adopters can transition into the mainstream. So what they will do is, they'll put you in what we might call the penalty box, which is where all the vegan food goes. But they'll also put you in the deli, they'll also put you in the prepared foods isle. In the case of Beyond Meat, they actually opened a burger stand right in the middle of Whole Foods in Boulder, Colorado, that served just the Beyond burger. And that was a guy named Derek Sarno, who's one of our partners, he's a chef who is the executive global chef for Whole Foods, that was his concept. It worked. It allowed people to try out the product, to demo it, to understand what it tastes like, how do you prepare it? Is it different than real meat? Most of these products ... We have a company called Good Catch, Good Catch makes tuna fish. There's two questions that are asked, right out of the gate. What does it taste like? And how do I use it? Price isn't asked, nutrient value isn't asked. People are curious about it, but those are the first two things they want to know. So when it comes to positioning and merchandising, you solve those two first things. And sometimes, you need someone to demonstrate it to you. That's, quite frankly, where Whole Foods has just been outstanding in helping not just Beyond Meat, but all sorts of products, helped to do that. F Geyrhalter: It seems like it's the good old Costco trick, right? You show them how it's made right there, then people get to taste it. C Kerr: Yeah, merchandising's expensive. We vegans walk by tons of tasting stands, because we just assume that we can't eat it. F Geyrhalter: Yeah. C Kerr: Let me tell a story about Just Mayo. Just Mayo was doing demos in stores, and people would walk up and they'd say, "Well what are you serving?" And they would say, "This is vegan mayo." And the answer was, "I'm not vegan, no thank you." As though only vegans could eat this mayonnaise. Of course, Fritos are vegan, and we don't ask whether or not they're vegan, anybody can eat a Frito. So I think that merchandising is really critical in getting consumers to understand where they fit in the equation. If it's somebody who's lactose intolerant, yeah, you're going to want to try the newest nondairy milk. If it's somebody who's got allergens to soy, yeah, you might want to try a meat that isn't made out of ... meat analog that's not made out of wheat. That type of stuff is quite relevant, and I think those demos are really important. F Geyrhalter: Right, no, absolutely. I think, Chris, one of the most insightful things I learned when I read the Bloomberg Business article about you was that you have nine cats. I think some of them are starting to want to participate in this story, too. They said, "I don't only want to be in Bloomberg, I want to be here, too." C Kerr: Yeah, actually the cat that was in Bloomberg is the one that trying to get out the door, so yeah. F Geyrhalter: I think it's because of the name that you have given the cat. It's Claire de Lune or something like that? It's a very French name. C Kerr: Yeah, she normally sits on my desk here. F Geyrhalter: It's her business day has started. It's like, "Hey, it's 9:00am, what's going on?" Excellent. C Kerr: Sorry. F Geyrhalter: No, no, no, that's great. Hey so looking back at the success of Beyond Meat, and there's no better day than today, on May 3rd, to talk about this. We already touched on a couple of these. But when did you think, when did you know that this is going to turn from a startup into a brand? When did you feel that ... Not when you tasted it, or when you said, "This is going to be insanely good, people are going to love this." But from a marketing perspective, when did you feel like, okay, something right now just shifted, and this is going to be a brand? C Kerr: Quite frankly, when they settled on the name Beyond Meat. That was when the real marketing push came, and it had to do with how they were positioning it to the consumer base that went well outside of our vegan world. That shift really kind of said to the early adopters, thank you for your service, you've been phenomenal, let's take it to the next level. That happened actually pretty early on. The company started, when we started working on it in 2008, 2009. It was probably around 2012 that that name was adopted and then put into play. Prior to that, they were really focusing on food service and the name Savage River wasn't something that they were doing much with. I think by the time they came up with Beyond Meat they thought, okay, now we have something to rally around. That's pretty critical. F Geyrhalter: Absolutely. And that name was created by an agency with help? Or was that internally crafted? C Kerr: I believe it was internally crated. Beyond Eggs was out at the time, they were just getting started. So Hampton Creek had come up with the idea of using something along the lines of Beyond. Beyond Meat at the same time. Hampton Creek moved over, well they created Hampton Creek, and then Just. Beyond Meat was, I guess a good fit for them. F Geyrhalter: That's extremely refreshing to hear that a name was kind of that propeller into that next phase of the company. And where you felt like now it's a brand. But vegan is, as a whole, as a brand, changed tremendously. From not to tasty to incredibly cool. In fact, it also turned quite important given climate change, right? Which is one of the big reasons you're in this business. And yes, it also morphed into a very tasty food option. But most of the brands in your portfolio are also extremely design focused, I realized. The dairy free butter brand Fora, which I can't wait to get my hands on. But also your other investment firm, Unovis Partners, it seems like branding and design is always top of mind for you in many of your brands. What does branding mean to you? Either personally or to your industry as a whole? I mean obviously, with Beyond Meat we get a pretty good sense of what it can do. C Kerr: Yeah, honestly, it's absolutely critical. You think about it, it's communication, right? At the end of the day, you want to very quickly communicate to a consumer what it is you do. If you can get that in a brand, I think plenty of people overthink or they try to be creative with brands, and it just can kind of flop. A really good brand matters, because it really is that flash point around decision making. Again, you go back to the food pact. Awareness is critical. I use this example, if you are in a desert dying of thirst, crawling along the sand, and there's a body of water over a hill, if you don't know it's there, you're still going to die of thirst. Awareness is really around what is it that a brand or a company's trying to convey to you? So you need to know where it is, what to look for, then be able to make a rather quick decision around why you might want to buy it. So clearly, there's an industry around that. That's no surprise there. I think when you have an innovative product that's new to the sector, that's novel, disruptive, and consumers don't quite know what to do with it, you better get that brand right. You can't be too cheeky. Too many plays on words, that kind of stuff. You don't want to confuse the consumer in the process. So I think Beyond Meat really hit a good stride there. There's a couple other ones that did a good job. They didn't have a lot of professional help, but Daiya is another company that people kind of knew what it was right out of the gate. It was dairy but not quite dairy. Silk, perfect example, Silk soy milk. A grand slam, people pretty much knew, it's soy milk. You think about that when it comes to identity. For the consumer, there's not a lot of confusion for the consumer. Ultimately, I think that, when it comes time to make kind of very quick decisions, impulse decisions, the difference between a good brand and a bad brand is going to be the difference between a sale or a pass. The ones that are successful, they know how to really run with it. F Geyrhalter: So at what time in that startup journey with your portfolio companies is what time do you advise those companies to actually invest in branding? C Kerr: Day one, day one. Good Catch is a great example. We knew that we could get a formula ... We didn't know what we were going to do in seafood, we just knew that we were going to get into the seafood space. We had started the company from scratch, we worked with a branding agency. The brand is what we built the company around. So coming up with the name Good Catch really set in motion exactly what that company was going to do and why. With that, we can fill in the blanks pretty much in any direction we want. Now if we had come up with something that was cheeky or confusing, a rebrand is incredibly expensive. F Geyrhalter: Yep. C Kerr: Nobody wants to go through that. So to spend an extra 25 to $50,000 on an early brand saves you upwards of several million later in the game, not to mention a failed start, which is the worst possible outcome. So I recommend, by all means, don't just come up with a name between you and your founders and think that it's great. Test it, put it in front of groups. There's great organizations that will actually do concept testing for you, and New Hope is one of them that's in the natural products space. For very little amount of money, you can test a couple concepts and see how it resonates with consumers. Spend that money. To nickel and dime that early stage is arguably a death nail for a company, if you get it wrong. F Geyrhalter: Amen. It was a very tough pill to swallow for a lot of bootstrap, early stage founders. C Kerr: Yeah. F Geyrhalter: But in the food industry, you basically cannot be too bootstrapped in order to make it to the market, so. C Kerr: Well also, I really encourage people to not fall in love with their own branding. It's easy to do, you feel like it becomes part of your own personal identity. You came up with it, or your family did. It really is important to relay a message to the consumer, not to your sister. I think at the end of the day, a good brand will reach a really wide swath of the world and tell them exactly what it is you're doing. That's pretty critical. F Geyrhalter: Chris, this is how I started pretty much every speech to entrepreneurs. I tell them, everything you do right now is not about you. It's about them, right? C Kerr: Well said, well said. Ego can really get in the way of these. One of the things that we do with the companies that we start up with, our job is commercialization. Part of that commercialization is an education around the branding side of it. So if you look at the New Crop team, we're actually made up of a whole bunch of entrepreneurs, people who have started companies before. One of our guys, Dan Altschuler, used to run a branding agency, it's what he did. We have another woman, Laura Zane, who helps us put together the decks. Because quite frankly, selling investors on it is very similar to selling a product. You need to sell them on the concept, and they need to be able to understand it quickly. So that starts the design phase, by the time you're hitting the shelves, at that point, it's too late. So absolutely, you need to think of it from the ground up. F Geyrhalter: Any piece of brand advice and founders as a final takeaway? I know you already dropped a lot of them. Anything that you didn't share with us yet, as we come to a close? C Kerr: Test, test, test, and then test again. And by the way, the world isn't static. When we launched Good Catch, we did testing on words for our packaging, and two years later, the entire market shifted and we need to test it again. So by all means, the consumer changes, consumer perception changes, the markets change. Don't be afraid to change with them. Your job there is to get consumers to understand what you're doing. The other part of it is, test your products. Try new things. At the end of the day, don't be a believer in your own stuff. You need to actually rely on the broader community to help you with that. The good news is, they are delighted to help. Particularly the early adopter world where I come from. Vegans love to try new food, and when they find something great, they are incredibly loud about it. Be partners with them in that, and allow them to test as well. I think everybody can have fun with it when you're testing new things, so it's not a challenge, it's a joy. I think if you look at it from that perspective, everybody gets to have fun with it. F Geyrhalter: Fantastic advise. What's still untapped in the plant based market? I mean, is there something you're excited about that you'd love to see a team create, or something you'd be excited to invest in next? Or is this all beyond ... Not Beyond Meat, but beyond closed doors? C Kerr: So we've now hit pretty much every area out there. We're working on, pork still hasn't been done well, and that's a massive market, as you can imagine. F Geyrhalter: Right. C Kerr: We're working on some things there. F Geyrhalter: It's a huge necessity too, right now, I suppose. C Kerr: I'm sorry, say that again? F Geyrhalter: Pork is in huge demand, and there's lots of issues surrounding pork. And there's a shortage, and God knows what, right? So there's a huge need for it, too. C Kerr: China alone, I mean, it's just not ... F Geyrhalter: Right. C Kerr: So here's what's both sad and exciting. The meat, dairy, eggs, and seafood market's over a trillion dollars, and we are just, just, just getting in there. We're a rounding error in that. So the opportunities are global, they are massive, and they are urgent. You put those things together and create a little bit of R&D around that, these are going to be exciting times. Give us another decade. Look at what happened with the Beyond burger and the Impossible burger just in the last two years. They just got onto the map on an industry that's a couple million years old at this point. F Geyrhalter: Yeah. C Kerr: Since we started eating animals. This is going to be a very, very exciting ride. I would say collectively, if you ignore the marketing side, collectively, R&D and the plant based meat world, and dairy, I would argue, is less than $100 million in the history of it, that they've actually put into the R&D side of it. The more money that flows into that, you're going to see some absolutely phenomenal outcomes. I would imagine that the next decade is going to be spectacular for consumers, for animals, for the environment. Everybody's going to win, and it's going to be a fun time. F Geyrhalter: I think on that note, I want to thank you, Chris. It was impeccable for you to make it onto Hitting the Mark the day after the big IPO, I so appreciate the time you took away from doing press or simply celebrating on this huge day. C Kerr: Thank you. F Geyrhalter: It's a huge day for you, your company, and Beyond Meat. So absolutely, thanks for being here. C Kerr: Well, and thank you to the Beyond Meat, they're a spectacular team. They did all of the work. I got to sit back and watch the ride. But thank you for having me on, I really appreciate it.

The week the bros try a new meat free, dairy free, gluten free pizza. How is it? Their opinion might surprise you.
It’s never been easier to go plant-based. More importantly, there’s never been a better time to do it. Faced with an epidemic of disease and the threat of global warming, it’s the one thing all of us can do to make a positive difference - both for our health, and the planet. Today’s two guests made the shift to veganism after watching the groundbreaking (and super powerful) documentary Earthlings. Now, they want to help other people transition to plant-based living, and better health. Melissa is a plant-powered personal chef and founder of ForkinPlants. We’re so inspired by her story. After studying healthcare and working in an office for years, she quit her 9 to 5 to follow her dreams and focus on her passions: cooking and helping people live healthy lives. But she wasn’t always on this vibe. In fact, before going vegan she used to eat cheese out of a can! Fifteen years ago, she had to take a 14-day course of antibiotics to clear an H-Pylori stomach infection. The result was a destroyed digestive system, chronic acid reflux and really bad eczema. Through research and Chinese medicine, she discovered that some of the top superfoods, like turmeric, were actually making her condition worse. Now, having healed herself through food, she helps others do the same. Read her blog post to find out how she healed her skin issues. Elana’s journey is similar. She suffered from chronic acid reflux from the age of 16. Of course, doctors just gave her a pill to take and unsurprisingly, this didn’t work long-term. She had her light-bulb moment at a retreat where the host made everyone watch Earthlings. Now vegan and healthy, Elana is a plant-based influencer and foodie, spreading vegan holistic health knowledge to those who need it most. She runs vegan events, and is about to quit her office job to follow her passion full-time. Her website Klean-Slate focuses on being real about food - because let’s face it, it’s not about being perfect, it’s about making small sustainable changes that last. Check out Episode 120 for Elana’s first appearance on the show, where she shares tips to rebalance your gut microflora. Our favorite vegan substitutes: Milk: Oatly milk - and chocolate milk. Their barista blend froths up beautifully Malk milk - sprouted nuts, no binders, super-clean and super tasty… especially the maple-pecan! Cheese: For everyday cheese, go for Follow Your Heart vegan cheese slices Kite Hills chive cream cheese Daiya cheese Miyoko’s cheese Yvonne’s vegan cheese Yogurt: Laava Forager Vegan meats: Beyond Burger - everyone loves this burger, even meat-eaters Gardein - but this is more a treat food than a health food Ice-cream: Cocobella Ben & Jerry’s vegan options Breyers vegan options Van Leeuwen Salt & Straw Being hailed as “Sex and the City for Food,” The Food Heals Podcast brings together experts in the field of nutrition, health and healing to teach you the best-kept natural secrets to being a hotter, healthier, happier YOU!

Really excited to have the first of 5 interviews from the generous people at the Good Food Institute, the best nonprofit that deals with the plant-based meat and clean meat space. Zak Weston never thought he would end up in food but after finding how much he could impact the world, he persistently networked his way to a job as a corporate engagement specialist at the Good Food Institute Zak convinces companies to put more plant-based options on their menus and clients include restaurants, food service companies, and even manufacturing. One really important topic Zak and I get into is discussing the group, Effective Altruism, a very pragmatic group of individuals who want to do good in the world. This is where Zak found that food was his calling. If you are stuck in your life, then this episode will motivate you to keep going. The food industry is the perfect industry to impact the world.

See the full story with pictures at: https://www.otsuka.co.jp/en/company/global-topics/2018/20180605_vol104.html Daiya Foods was founded in Vancouver, Canada in 2008 with a simple belief that plant-based living was better for people’s health, better for the planet and better for animal welfare. It all started with the founders, Greg Blake and Andre Kroecher, trying to make plant-based cheese at home in the kitchen with a blender and a pot on the stove. Their perseverance paid off and Daiya Cheddar Style & Mozzarella Style Shreds debuted in 2009 at the Natural Products Expo West. Consumers raved and plant-based dairy innovation changed forever. Today, Daiya is best known for its delicious plant-based cheese alternatives that melt and stretch like dairy-based cheese. Daiya understands the social needs and craveability of these foods. Every Daiya product is plant-based, dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free, offering options for those with allergies or are looking to make small changes towards a plant-based diet. Over the years, Daiya has expanded its line of craveable foods to meet a growing global demand for plant-based alternatives. They now offer products across multiple categories for every eating occasion at more than 25,000 stores in North America. See the full story with pictures at: https://www.otsuka.co.jp/company/global-topics/ Daiya’s line of premium plant-based foods include Burritos, Frozen Dessert Bars, Coconut Yogurt Alternatives, Pizzas, Cheezecakes, Cream Cheeze Style Spreads, Dressings, Cheezy Mac, Cheeze Sauce & wonderful cheese alternatives including Blocks, Shreds, Slices and Cheeze Sticks. Daiya is innovative, compassionate and they love food. And they feel like they are just getting started! Now with a much larger team and passionate management, their dairy-alternative innovation accelerates as marked by their recent announcement of the highly anticipated launch of its signature products in the United Kingdom, following international success in Australia, Sweden, Mexico, Hong Kong, and more. Otsuka welcomed the addition of Daiya to its group of companies in 2017, hoping for a passionate synergy in commitment to people’s healthier everyday all across the globe. Terry Tierney, Daiya CEO anticipates “Daiya has always had the vision of building a leading global plant-based food brand. We are excited to partner with Otsuka to help realize this vision.”

This Is Your Roadmap To Success. CLICK HERE TO GAIN INSTANT ACCESS TO MY FREE TURNKEY SALES STORY STRATEGIES COURSE Plant based foods fulfill consumer’s needs for healthy innovative products. This growing trend is driving sales across all categories. Be inspired by Daiya, a brand and founding member of the Plant Based Food Association leading this revolution! Throughout this podcast and all of my content, I talk about the new trends in the marketplace. I talk about how leading disruptive brands are really making an impact by helping retailers meet the needs of their consumers and their shoppers, by providing the items that their shoppers want to buy. The next focus is how to help the retailers merchandise and take advantage of these strategies, these products, how to leverage them to drive traffic in their store and profitable, sustainable sales across every category. Then to follow up, how does that retailer use those products to drive sales across the entire store? What I mean by that is that consumers that buy healthy products, whether it be organic, plant-based, etc., tend to spend more money buying other products, premium products, across the entire store, because those consumers understand that if you are what you eat, then eating food that properly provides nutrition for your body is going to fuel you longer. In the long run, even though it's a few pennies more at the register, it's actually cheaper for you, and that's the basis of everything I teach, everything I talk about. Today's guest helps me amplify that message by helping consumers understand why these products are important, why they matter, and then also helping the retailer understand how to leverage these products to help those consumers find the solutions they want. My guest on this episode is Mike Cooke, the VP of Sales for Daiya Foods, a plant-based brand that is revolutionizing the way that consumers think about plant-based products. Here's why it matters. Consumers are looking for healthier options, and plant-based is one of those options that consumers are flocking toward. It's one of those solutions, one of those product solutions, those meal solutions that consumers are actively choosing to add to their diet. Not because they're trying to become vegan, but rather because they're looking for other products to add to their menu that help support them in their goal toward becoming healthier. We also talk about the Plant Based Food Association, which is driving this conversation not only at retail, but across the entire food ecosystem, across all CPG, and helping to support it with legislation. That ensures that plant-based foods have an equal voice with retailers, and within all of CPG. Here's Mike Cooke with Daiya Foods Here is a link to this week's podcast: brandsecretsandstrategies.com/session34.
Chris Kerr is one of the first people to help funnel early-stage investments for vegan food companies. In the early 2000s, he worked with the Humane Society of the United States to manage their investments into the plant-based food industry and played a key role in helping Daiya cheese secure distribution in Whole Foods Market. With New Crop Capital, Chris is helping some of the top brands that we know and love through investment funding as well as mentorship, all with the goal of advancing plant-based food and reshaping the food system.

[FEATURED GUESTS] About Romain Gaillard Romain Gaillard is the CEO of the Detox Market. The Detox Market was born from a love for purity and an eagerness to support our communities in their healthful lifestyles. Years ago, our beloved Valerie was battling breast cancer. As a health and wellness coach, she knew her best defense was a detoxified life which meant saying goodbye to chemically-laden beauty products. She immediately began researching her options and building relationships with pioneers in the green beauty movement. Those values became the basis for the Detox Market as we began creating an educated community of health and beauty experts around offering pure, effective and elegant products.Originally, we planned to be a one hit wonder with a pop-up shop on Abbot Kinney. We thought we'd show up, educate some people, support our brand-owners and fade back into our bungalows. But you all weren't having any of that. Turns out, everyone was waiting for us! So we set up shop in West Hollywood, in Toronto, and here on the magical Internet to support a growing shift in the beauty industry. Beyond all else, we are passionate about educating and serving our community of like-minded and like-hearted individuals who believe in the power of pure products. About Anthony Flores, or "T" as Kimberly affectionately refers to him: He is a long-time friend of hers who, after graduating from Stanford University, began researching and writing professionally in the health space full-time. He has a passion for natural health, especially Beauty Detox, and loves to share exciting new studies and insights he learns with Kimberly and the community! He can be found writing spiritual/inspirational words on Instagram @poetrybyanthony.
