This week, The Founder Hour is coming to you LIVE from Summit LA19, Summit’s flagship event and the world’s preeminent ideas festival, which went down on November 8-11 in DTLA’s historic Broadway Theatre District!

Pat and Posh start off the episode by doing a quick recap of the weekend’s festivities followed by an insightful conversation with Summit co-founder, Elliott Bisnow, and legendary chef Alice Waters, founder of Chez Panisse and the farm-to-table movement in America.

Summit, founded in 2008, is a global community of today’s brightest leaders. Through a series of invitation-only events, Summit fosters a global community of entrepreneurs, academics, athletes, artists, astronauts, authors, chefs, engineers, explorers, philanthropists, spiritual leaders, scientists, and beyond.

Chez Panisse, founded in 1971 by Alice Waters, is a neighborhood restaurant in Berkeley, CA, famous for its organic, locally grown ingredients and for pioneering California cuisine. Alice, known as the founder of the farm-to-table and slow food movement in America, also started The Edible Schoolyard Project in 1995 which has led the national movement to transform the health and academic experience of students in America and advocated for a sustainable, delicious, free lunch for every student.

In this episode, we cover everything from the vision behind Summit as well as Chez Panisse, building communities and widespread movements, fast food vs. slow food, and what can shape the next generation of food consumption.
