What started as a simple conversation during the early days of COVID has grown into a daily mission powered by chefs, volunteers, hospitality workers, and more than 200 local food partners.We also dive into the story behind Zest, Feed Louisville’s plant-forward grab-and-go meal line celebrating its 1-year anniversary. Zest proves that good-for-you food can still be exciting, flavorful, craveable, and community-driven. Every Zest bowl purchased helps support the larger mission of Feed Louisville and creates a way for people to eat well while doing good.This conversation goes below the surface into the realities of food insecurity, the dignity of a thoughtful meal, the role of Louisville’s hospitality community, and how food can become more than something we eat — it can become connection, comfort, purpose, and hope.Huge thank you to Whirling Tiger for opening their doors and allowing us to shoot this episode in such a great Louisville space.Episode Title: Food With A MissionGuests: Rhona Kamar of Feed Louisville and Chef Emmaly Saliga of ZestLocation: Whirling Tiger in Louisville, KYWatch now and learn how Feed Louisville and Zest are using food to serve a bigger mission.
