Clean Eating w/Big Zak

from Day 1 Radio

Big Zak earned his rep writing hooks and songs for artists ranging from Young Jeezy to Ciara. He even dropped some dope music himself. But after 15 years in the game he came to a crossroads and decided to apply his creative talents to cooking healthy food. Now, he is the owner of one of Atlanta's fastest growing restaurants, Local Green Atlanta. In this episode of Day 1 Radio the songwriter-turned-restauranteur talks about his journey from slanging hit records to serving good food. 2:00 - Zak breaks down how he got into the music industry and started writing for Ciara, Young Jeezy, Lloyd and more. FYI: His first hit song was Ciara's "Goodies." 8:00 - How and why he made the transition from writing music to opening a healthy food restaurant. He also reveals how he and Polow Da Don started on their weight loss journey together. 15:30 - Zak talks about trying to convince people in his circle to eat healthier and being able to prove it with his product. 19:00 - Zak talks about the process of making healthy food taste good. 25:00 - Zak talks about deciding to open a healthy food option in Atlanta's underserved Vine City neighborhood instead of a more popular part of town. 33:00 - Zak talks about how his image as rapper both helped and hurt his new venture at first.
