‘Top Chef’ Spike Mendelsohn’s Top Priorities: Vegan Burgers and a Livable Planet 

Celebrity chef and TV personality Spike Mendelsohn is on a mission to save the planet, using vegan burgers as a tool for change. Through his fast-casual eatery PLNT Burger, Mendelsohn aims to redefine America's favorite foods by offering delicious plant-based options that consider the planet's environmental footprint. He believes in democratizing plant-based foods to make them accessible to everyone, regardless of income.

Mendelsohn's commitment to sustainable food practices and reducing food waste is evident in his work with PLNT Burger and the Incredible Planet Challenge. While he is not fully plant-based himself, he is slowly transitioning towards a more plant-based diet and encourages others to make small changes for a better world. Mendelsohn hopes to inspire respect for the planet and believes that food choices can lead to a more sustainable and harmonious world.
