675 00:22:21,373 --> 00:22:25,277   Mena: you spent a lot of time   in New York, originally, right? 676 00:22:25,377 --> 00:22:26,611   Yeah, I'm from New York City.  677 00:22:26,712 --> 00:22:28,814    Uh, I worked a lot               of nice restaurants there.    678 00:22:28,914 --> 00:22:31,717  I also worked on a lot of nice     vegan restaurants as well.    679 00:22:31,817 --> 00:22:34,786   But I wanted to work           in restaurants that were         680 00:22:34,886 --> 00:22:37,656  more exciting,                    and used whole foods.          681 00:22:37,756 --> 00:22:39,658  I didn't move to Philly           to open a restaurant.          682 00:22:39,758 --> 00:22:41,526 That just kind of                  happened on its own.           683 00:22:41,626 --> 00:22:45,297   You were pretty quickly voted   one of the best new restaurants 684 00:22:45,397 --> 00:22:46,631    in all of the U.S.            685 00:22:46,732 --> 00:22:47,799  That's correct.                 686 00:22:47,899 --> 00:22:50,302   Which is a huge feat            for a vegan restaurant,         687 00:22:50,402 --> 00:22:52,604  But especially                     a vegan restaurant            688 00:22:52,704 --> 00:22:54,272    that is vegetable forward.    689 00:22:54,373 --> 00:22:56,274  You don't do any vegan            substitutes.                   690 00:22:56,375 --> 00:22:57,943 You really put vegetables        at the forefront                 691 00:22:58,043 --> 00:23:00,679    of what you do here            at Pietramala.                  692 00:23:00,779 --> 00:23:01,847    Absolutely.                   693 00:23:01,947 --> 00:23:03,382  Everything we use here,         694 00:23:03,482 --> 00:23:05,350    we use from                     as close as possible,          695 00:23:05,450 --> 00:23:06,518   as fresh as possible.          696 00:23:06,618 --> 00:23:07,686    And I think it's important    697 00:23:07,786 --> 00:23:10,389   to really add things            that vegan food                 698 00:23:10,489 --> 00:23:14,059  is typically missing, which is  a depth of umami flavour.        699 00:23:14,159 --> 00:23:18,163    So we really try to lean on      lacto fermented vegetables,   700 00:23:18,263 --> 00:23:22,334  Smoke and fire,                   to really build that flavour.  701 00:23:22,434 --> 00:23:23,702   And those are the things that    people miss,                   702 00:23:23,802 --> 00:23:26,538   And they associate it           with meat, but it's not         703 00:23:26,638 --> 00:23:28,807 necessarily just                 coming from meat.                704 00:23:28,907 --> 00:23:33,078  So we incorporate the flavours   into vegetables                 705 00:23:33,178 --> 00:23:35,414   People are really, like, oh,      does this have bacon in it?   706 00:23:35,514 --> 00:23:36,982  It's like, no,                  it's just smoke.                 707 00:23:37,082 --> 00:23:40,986    Speaking of that, I'm ready   for my next dish or two.         708 00:23:41,086 --> 00:23:42,354    I'm gonna continue            to eat the salad.                709 00:23:42,454 --> 00:23:44,689   No one's taking this              away from me, but I'm ready   710 00:23:44,790 --> 00:23:45,924   to see what you got.           711 00:23:46,024 --> 00:23:50,429   Ian: This is roasted peppers     and peaches.
