Guest: Kate Johnston Chief Operating Officer Project Angel Heart was created in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic when a small group of people saw that neighbors who were living with HIV/AIDS were isolated and not getting the nutrition they needed. Their vision remains that all Coloradans living with severe illness have access to nutritious food that supports their health and well-being. Every week, they prepare, package and deliver more than 14,000 medically tailored meals to Coloradans living with cancer, heart failure, kidney disease, HIV/AIDS and other severe illnesses. They deliver meals from Pueblo to Fort Collins and this year they will serve over 750,000 meals. Project Angel Heart has been planning for Thanksgiving. Most of their clients live alone or are too sick to go to gatherings. They have organized their largest ever meal delivery on Wednesday, November 27, calling it Gobble Gobble Give. More than 400 volunteers will be delivering Thanksgiving meals along with a week’s worth of medically tailored meals to their neighbors, for a total of 13,000 meals that week. Project Angel Heart is looking for financial donations, but they also need volunteers. https://www.projectangelheart.org/

Brandon Foster is the Executive Chef at Project Angel Heart in Denver, CO. His aunt gives him his first culinary spark of inspiration and tells him to stay the hell away from the industry! From humble beginnings as a dishwasher at a Best Western to working with icons in the Denver scene, Brandon has been learning and evolving every step of the way. We chat with Daniel Lee, a Sous Chef at Vesta, whom Brandon has mentored since he was an intern, who is now a budding food entrepreneur as well. Website - ProjectAngelHeart.org Facebook - /ProjectAngelHeart Instagram - @ProjectAngelHeart @ChefFoster Twitter - @Proj_AngelHeart List 3 pivotal/notable jobs throughout your career 1. Best Western Lake Dillon Lodge – Dillon, CO 1998-2003 – first kitchen job. Taught me the ropes and convinced me “shit, I’m actually kind of good at this and could maybe do this for a living” 2. Fourth Story – Denver, CO 2003-2004 – Open my mind to what food could actually be. Professional cooks, who did it for a living and not just to be a ski bum. Ate my first morel, ramp, heirloom tomato, seared foie gras there….the list goes on. 3. Vesta – Denver, CO 2005-2016 – major growth as a chef and a person, first executive chef role. Proudest Moment: It’s a tie. -Cooking for my grandfather at Vesta on his 80th birthday. As I was walking him out the front door afterwards he gave me a hug and told me how proud he was of me. Tearing up just writing this… - Based on my support and advocacy of their product as well as greater sales in my restaurant than any chef in this region, I got an invitation from Skuna Bay Salmon to cook at the James Beard House in 2015. I am very proud of that. Food and/or drinks staples in your house? Too many to list, especially with 3 kids. Let's go with Eggs, cereal, hot sauce, coffee, bourbon, Emergen-C. Two things most people don't know about you? I used to own a Tie Dye shop in Leadville with my then girlfriend, and now wife Larissa. I played violin from 2nd grade through high school, and also play mandolin. Words to live by? Make 1000 mistakes once, don't make the same one twice. Never stop learning, and never stop fine tuning your craft. It's ok to not be ok.
