Kahja interviews Toriano Gordon
While it's true that vegan food is around every corner in the Bay, what isn't around every corner is a San Francisco native, first known as a rapper, now known for creating classic soul food and BBQ staples with a California twist! With his new plant-based cookbook, Vegan Mob: Vegan BBQ and Soul Food, owner Toriano Gordon is sharing recipes from his popular eatery where he's created a brand aimed at giving people vegan versions of the classic foods they love with all the flavor they remember!
This week, Kahja talks with Toriano about growing up surrounded by Black entrepreneurship, building self-esteem through accomplishments, the learning process of rapid growth and systems, and translating family memories into into one of the Bay's most beloved outposts for soulful vegan eats!
