One of the biggest ways we as individuals can change our food system is to seek out local butchers, local food producers, meat share programs, direct to consumer fisherman, etc. Avoid the big box stores and consolidated grocery chains. Avoid the temptation to try and fix things with more government, even if you like those in charge; it will always come back to bite. Let the free market work its magic. Vote with your wallet.
Chef Gruel blends culinary leadership with outspoken advocacy for small business and individual liberty. A nationally recognized chef and entrepreneur, Gruel has judged and hosted on Food Truck Face Off and Chopped Junior, with guest spots on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and Today.
Gruel founded Slapfish, a fast-casual seafood chain that grew from a food truck into a national franchise. He currently hosts the cooking show American Gravy on YouTube and co-hosts The SoCal Restaurant Show on local radio. Known for his skepticism of government overreach, Gruel highlights the importance of local politics and community-based solutions in both business and civic life. He frequently shares this perspective as a guest on Fox News and Fox Business.
Sidebar: During the COVID-19 crisis, Andrew and his wife Lauren launched the 86 Restaurant Struggle fund, which raised over $500K in aid for food service workers across the country. The Gruels reviewed applications personally each day to ensure the funds reached those facing urgent financial hardship.
