Kitchen Table Talk w/ Nicole Marquis - Ep. 235 by
The Fast Casual Nation Podcast offers exclusive interviews with experts ranging from top chefs and brand makers to executives and restaurants who work in one of the fastest-growing segments of the restaurant industry. In this episode, I chat with Nicole Marquis, chief executive officer of HipCityVeg about her inspiration for building a vegan fast food brand and bringing plant-based food to everyone. Marquis shares her background saying, “I was in school for a while for communications and theater. I went to Temple University and then went to California Institute of the Arts and I was studying avant-garde performance art and theater with an emphasis in classical drama. So I was doing Shakespeare, Greek tragedy, and when I came back home I was really searching for something that I was truly passionate about. I love the arts, but I felt like I needed some more direction and something else in my life and I started to read a bunch of books about nutrition and I was vegetarian at the time. LA definitely influenced me.” Marquis says she read The China Study by Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Eat To Live by Dr. Fuhrman and was quickly convinced to try a plant-based diet when she learned that what we eat has a direct effect on illness and disease. Marquis talks about how she loves business and says, “I think it's so exciting, I get a thrill out of creating something from nothing, I think it's that creative process brings me a lot of joy. I like building teams of great people who can work together to make something awesome happen.” She spent four years after she had the idea of opening a fast food vegan restaurant writing a business plan and building a financial analysis. Once Marquis developed the full concept, she looked to find the right investors. HipCityVeg opened in Philadelphia in April 2012. HipCityVeg offers American classics that are plant-based. Marquis says customers can get well-constructed sandwiches, salads, wraps, milkshakes, and a banana whip. Adding it is presented in a way with really good ingredients, good food, and a menu that is better for the planet. She says, “I think people can expect delicious burgers, shakes, and fries in a cool environment. You know a simple and attractive and experience.” To hear Marquis talk about her vision to create a national and international brand from the beginning, the new delivery-only model, Go Kitchens by HipCityVeg, and about being a digital company, listen to this episode of Fast Casual Nation on Apple Podcasts.

Bruce Friedrich, the executive director and co-founder of The Good Food Institute and Nicole Marquis, founder & CEO of HipCityVeg, are both tremendous proponents of the plant-based movement -- the science of it and you eating it.

Nicole Marquis is the creator of the plant-based fast casual restaurant chain HipCityVeg, currently with locations in Philadelphia and Washington D.C. Nicole also created and runs the popular plant-based full service restaurants Charlie was a sinner. and Bar Bombón. In this episode, you'll hear how Nicole was inspired to create a vegan restaurant chain when she read The China Study and understood the effects that eating meat had on human health. Even her father was skeptical at first. But, after a diabetes diagnosis, Nicole guided him towards a plant-based lifestyle. After a few months, he lost 25 pounds, his blood pressure improved, and his diabetes went into remission. Philly, though, was ready for Nicole's offering of plant-based comfort food. When the first HipCityVeg opened in 2012, it completely sold out of food by noon. Since then, Nicole has been spreading her love of plant-based food throughout Philadelphia, and beyond.

Nicole Marquis, President and CEO of Marquis & Co., LLC is the owner of HipCityVeg, the wildly successful 100% plant-based fast-casual restaurant that opened in Philadelphia in 2012. She followed that success with a second HipCityVeg on the University of Pennsylvania campus. Marquis, who has been vegan for almost a decade, considers it her mission to make a delicious plant-based diet convenient and available everywhere. Originally from the Philadelphia area, Ms. Marquis maintains close ties to Puerto Rico, where her mother was born and raised. She studied at Temple University before moving to Los Angeles for graduate studies. Upon her return to Philadelphia, Ms. Marquis was frustrated by the dearth of vegan options in her hometown. She addressed that problem in her typical fashion and is now recognized as a leader in the Philadelphia food renaissance, making healthy plant-based food convenient and even sexy. Following the success of HipCityVeg, Marquis created her first full-service restaurant, Charlie was a sinner., a stunning and seductive vegan bar in Philadelphia, which opened to rave reviews in May 2014. In August 2015, she opened Bar Bombón, a full-service bar, and restaurant with an open-to-the-street ambiance that puts a vegan twist on traditional Latin food. Marquis & Co. will continue to grow with the addition of a third Philadelphia HipCityVeg and the first Washington D.C location in Spring 2016. It will mark the national expansion of the popular brand.

Nicole Marquis, Founder and CEO of HipCityVeg, tells us how she developed her restaurant to show people that plant-based cuisine can be delicious. Her mission started when her desire to help her father fix his high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes became a debate about genetics versus diet. Nicole knew that she needed to show, not tell, her father that he could eat well and not give anything up that he loves about food, to instill a lifestyle change.
