Ep. 247 - Consistency and Community with Phil Saneski, Culinary Director for Farming Hope

Phil Saneski has worked in Michelin-Star and James Beard Award finalist kitchens. He led the launch of the Research Chefs Association Upcycled Foods product development student competition--the world's first event focused on manufacturing byproducts. His curiosity about ingredients historically considered “waste,” and his passion for formulating delicious products led him to be VP or Product at ReGrained, an innovative upcycled food start-up helping to change the way the world thinks about “waste” ingredients. Phil has spoken about upcycled foods at numerous local events as well as SXSW, New Products, Cereal & Grains Association, and Stanford Design Thinking conferences. After Regrained, Phil moved on to product development for CCD Innovation, a chef-driven food & beverage consultancy in the San Francisco Bay Area. Now Phil is the Culinary Manager of Farming Hope, a culinary job training non-profit that uses recovered food to train Apprentices experiencing major social and economic barriers to employment. He believes in a more equitable food system that uses ingredients that already exist in our supply chain and that neither food nor people should ever go to waste. Phil looks for any reason to do a collaboration popup, too.
