Anthony Myint

CAFÉ Talks Podcast Episode #21

You’ll want to hear the (March 24) interview with Anthony Myint, the James Beard Foundation’s Humanitarian of the Year.
 
His journey from food truck entrepreneur to serial restaurateur in San Francisco and New York is a fascinating story of a man who never stops thinking about how to make a difference. 
 
His efforts and passion are now focused on “zerofoodprint,” a collaborative effort to engage restaurants in helping combat climate change and save the planet through regenerative agricultural practices and a carbon neutrality focus.
