Talking Shiitake
My mission is to help make our food system healthier, more sustainable and ethical. In a market where consumers are making more informed decisions about the food they buy, I believe that food businesses catering to these needs will be the most successful. I’m Michael Fox, CEO and Co-Founder of Shiitake mushroom company Fable Food. For years I’ve been obsessed with our food system. Welcome to my podcast where I Talk Shiitake with successful chefs, food industry executives and entrepreneurs to learn about what’s lead to their success in the food industry.
