Today we’re interviewing Franklin Yao, who is the CEO of Youkuai Group, where they make Zrou meat. For those who don’t know, it’s a kinda pun of zhurou, which means pork in Chinese. Yes, even though I don’t know a lick of Chinese, I know a lot of food in Chinese. This interview is my first Chinese startup. So my favorite part of this interview is asking Franklin a million questions on the differences between Chinese and American everything. Consumer mindset, entrepreneur culture, and the value of

Today we’re interviewing Sarah Qian, founder of Compassion Creamery, an oat-based cream cheese company located in Sydney, Australia. They’re a really small plant-based brand only native to Sydney but I found the conversation to be quite enlightening.

George Peppou, the CEO and cofounder of Vow Food is extremely funny, quirky, and extremely knowledgable. He talks fast but really knows his stuff. Vow’s approach to Cultured meat is a lot different than what you’ve heard. I’m sure you’ve heard the story of a well-funded cultured meat startup, which talks about their black box technology and replicating a chicken nugget. Vow’s approach is to really sell cultivated meat as a new, unique type of product that’s never been eaten before. You’ll hear them

Michelle Klieger is an agricultural economist and founder of Strategerm Consulting. Michelle and I have been LinkedIn connections for a while and I like her content, which is always insightful and interesting. Mainly because her field dives deeply on the economics of the farmer. We as food scientists aren’t that familiar with not only how food is grown, but how does it move throughout the world or how does your dollar, affect the farmer? You’re in for an eye-opening discussion about the farmer end

Sensory science isn’t just tasting, it’s so much more. After all, you have five senses. What about the feel of toilet paper? Or the smell of kitty litter, or the sound of paper crackling. Not only that, but the metrics you use and how you train your panelists all matter when it comes to getting valuable data for your product. Though Sensory Spectrum is a service, I ask Ivy Koelliker, on some tools and tips that either you, the budding food entrepreneur or the food technologist on the bench can use
