In this episode, I'm joined by Bernice Vargas Luna, Chef and Co-founder of El Hongo Magico, a plant-based taqueria in Chicago.

Tune in to:

  • Witness how a health scare turned into a transition to a plant-based diet and a remembering of the whole-foods already found in Mexican cooking;
  • Learn how the creation of a plant-based taqueria came to be, how it has evolved, and the culinary journey of working with mushrooms; and
  • Get some behind-the-scenes of what it takes to start a business and pursue entrepreneurship with no previous experience.

Bernice and her partner show what it means to purposely lead with cultura and community, from ingredients to branding to practicing sustainability within and outside the business.
