    Episode 6: Vegan Chef Armando Aviles
    Feb 19 2022
    Armando Aviles says food has played a big role in his life since he was kid, so the fact that he grew up to be a chef is not surprising. But, after he and his wife went on a raw, holistic diet for health reasons, they soon realized what they thought would be a temporary move would become a permanent lifestyle change. In episode 6 of Beyond the Kale, Armando explains how his transition to veganism affected his journey as a chef, and the role his Puerto Rican heritage plays in his cooking. Armando also details what it is like for a vegan chef to work in a restaurant that is not a fully vegan establishment, and why he thinks those kinds of arrangements can be beneficial for both the restaurant, and the vegan movement as a whole. Armando also explains some of the struggles he and his wife experience raising their two non-vegan kids, and how they make it work.
