Like how do we remove the stigma of stoners and fast food? And kind of like you're talking about sugar and sweets, like how do we return this back to the plant and back to, like, the holistic approach. Like, how do you actually convince consumers to do that? Who wants expediency and convenience? They want free two-day shipping with Amazon and they want everything right now. Like how do we as artists and craft producers, like combat that like how do we carve out our space in this industry? I'm genuinely asking because I don't know. Sebastian: So, I have done it the simplest way I knew how. I stuck to who and what I am and I didn't deviate. My food and my philosophy is based around the slow food philosophies. If there's a producer in my area and by my area, I mean in my region that produces something, I'm not going to go and step outside of my region to find it in, bring it in. First of all, for two or three reasons: economics, economics and my heart. My heart leads the decision on my purchases all the time. I made that mandatory as a chef from the beginning. Why? Because my grandma. Why? Because I grew up on a farm. Why? Because I was the one at the farmers market selling all those vegetables, 15 and 20 years ago. The most important factor for me, Levi in that situation is going to be not the [00:25:49] the heart part. And the heart part is, is that if there's a farmer down the street, that I know, maybe I only know him a little bit but I do know who he is. And I do know that he's making XYZ products at his farm. I'm going to buy that product from him because if his daughter needs dance shoes or his daughter needs food in her mouth or their animals need husbandry or their farm needs a new fence post. When I drive by that farm, I help support that farm. I did everything I could for my neighbor. Nobody does shit for their neighbors anymore. When you move into a new neighborhood, when's the last time your neighbor made you a batch of cookies? Never! Do you remember what America used to be like because I do. Levi: Right? Yeah, you're right, rural life and now it's like the media has us all divided, right? It's like townies, gownies. Republicans, Democrats all this nonsense and yeah, restoring community through food is probably the best way to do that because you cannot hate somebody that's preparing food for you, you know, you can't, it's absolutely impossible. And then the disconnect in the cities, and we need the city's on board because we need these farms to fork movements. When you live in Los Angeles, it's really easy to get disconnected from the farmer down the street. You've never even seen a farm. Most people in LA have never even seen a plant growing, you know, but they still know even if we're not in nature and we're surrounded by asphalt, we still like they're still a part of us that longs for it if somebody can go to a restaurant, that's farm-to-table and feel good about the food they're eating, or buy some weed or a product that they feel like they actually know where it's coming from, and they're making a impactful consumer decision, that's what I think like on the marketing side, like, people like you and I and people are trying to do, we have to be really good at the marketing. We have to get our message out there and compete with McDonald's. [cuckles] Sebastian: Yeah. And my thing as a chef is check this out. I used to tell everybody, everybody back in the day used to brag like hell that they were farm to fork. Well, guess what? McDonald's gets their fucking tomatoes from a farm, and their lettuce too, the're farm to fork. Levi: Right. Yeah. Sebastian: So, for me, I kept it really simple. I followed my protocol on my guidelines from what my grandma told me from what my grandma did. [00:28:09] I'm a short order cannabis revolutionary. So I was opening four and five diamond facilities. I was running some of America's at the time, Relais Chateaux restaurants where there's only 40 of them in America, but what you would find from me is in that dish, and I got questioned a lot. [00:28:28] Tuna noodle casserole made with ahi tuna. Levi: Right. Sebastian: You know, what would you see for lunch? You might see [00:28:35] a sloppy joe sandwich made with Buffalo from one of Ted Turner's ranches. Why? Because that's what American's can as
