(lively music)

0:08

- We're in Inglewood, California.

0:10

We're gonna eat a bunch of vegan soul food.

0:12

- Let me tell you somethin' about soul food, okay.

0:15

- So Daisha here, is in another video right now.

0:17

She's doing a 30 day vegan food challenge.

0:20

- What do I know about soul food?

0:21

I think mac and cheese.

0:23

I think fried chicken.

0:24

I think cornbread.

0:26

(lively music)

0:32

- Inglewood, like many low income areas

0:34

of Los Angeles, really struggles

0:36

to feed people quality, healthy foods.

0:38

- Oh, welcome to Stuff I Eat.

0:42

- Babette opened this restaurant in 2008

0:44

to try and combat that issue.

0:45

She's inspiring the community

0:47

to understand food they love

0:49

in a broader context.

0:50

- I think we should put it on you

0:51

to come up with a rubric.

0:52

- This is all based around a party

0:54

in your mouth, all right?

0:55

So the first thing is a Shindig.

0:57

If things are, "Oh wow, this is great."

0:58

"I'd probably eat this on my own time,

1:00

"but I'm not, like, in love,"

1:02

that is a Kickback.

1:03

Then the next level up

1:04

is a House Party.

1:05

- House party.

1:06

- All right, house party.

1:07

And then if we are just completely,

1:09

completely blown away,

1:11

all it is is just a Rave.

1:12

(beeping)

1:13

- So is this your very first soul food,

1:15

vegan soul food platter?

1:16

Really?

1:18

So first of all, let me describe

1:19

exactly what you have on this plate.

1:21

- [Daisha] This is vegan?

1:22

- This is all vegan, 100% vegan.

1:24

Kale greens, black-eyed peas.

1:28

We've got mac and cheese.

1:29

- [Voiceover] Vegan.

1:30

- Vegan.

1:31

Barbecue tofu.

1:33

Get a little coleslaw

1:34

and potato salad.

1:36

You've got some gluten-free cornbread

1:39

and your yams.

1:40

- Ready, go!

1:44

- [Voiceover] Collin, you're an animal Collin.

1:46

- [Collin] I am an animal.

1:47

(lively music)

1:50

- Yes.

1:51

Oh my God.

1:52

This mac and cheese is so good.

1:53

- Yeah, I wouldn't say it tastes like,

1:55

you know, like traditional mac and cheese.

1:57

- She's not trying to imitate

2:00

regular soul food mac and cheese.

2:01

She's, like, made it her own

2:02

and it's amazing.

2:04

- Everyday, I'd eat this everyday.

2:05

- The mac and cheese is a House Party for me.

2:08

- I think this is a House Party for tofu.

2:10

- I've never had tofu before.

2:12

- What? - Like, I've never had tofu.

2:14

In my mind, it's always been like,

2:17

- [Voiceover] Weird.

2:18

- scary and weird, yeah.

2:19

- Did y'all have this coleslaw?

2:20

This is a Rave.

2:21

- The coleslaw's amazing - The coleslaw's a Rave.

2:23

(beeping)

2:25

- [Voiceover] Daisha, Daisha (unintelligible) eat right.

2:28

Steven.

2:29

- My plate, almost done.

2:32

- [Voiceover] Freddy, pick up the pace, Freddy.

2:34

- I'm comin', I'm comin', I'm comin'.

2:36

- What's your definition of, like,

2:38

a balanced meal?

2:40

- That.

2:41

- This?

2:41

- What did you expect me to say? (laughing)

2:43

So when we first moved over here,

2:45

I introduced the Soul Food Platter.

2:47

It was only going to be a special.

2:49

A couple of the local residents came in.

2:52

They had the Soul Food Platter

2:53

and they liked it

2:54

and then I didn't have it, like, the next day.

2:57

And they were like, "Well, what happened to that?"

2:59

And I'm like, "Well, it was just a special."

3:01

They walked out.

3:03

That happened several times,

3:05

several weeks in a row

3:06

and we just made the Soul Food Platter

3:08

a part of the menu

3:09

and I think that's how

3:10

we became the vegan soul food restaurant.

3:13

- Why did you want to open in Inglewood?

3:14

- I live down the street.

3:17

First of all, every time I wanted a decent

3:20

vegan meal, I had to drive across town.

3:23

There are a lot of health conscious people

3:25

living in this community.

3:26

The rent was amazing.

3:28

I'm not paying $20,000 a month for rent.

3:31

Miss me Beverly Hills.

3:33

And they needed me here.

3:34

They needed this situated right here

3:36

where it is and why not?

3:38

Why not a good vegan restuaruant

3:40

in my community?

3:42

- So since you've been here,

3:43

have you noticed that more people

3:44

from the neighborhood have started to come?

3:46

- Oh definitely. - Like people who aren't vegan

3:47

who just come for the food?

3:48

- Most of my customers are not vegan.

3:50

I'm so grateful that I was introduced

3:54

to this lifestyle and made the transition.

3:56

I really am.

3:58

I started at age 40.

4:00

I'll be 65 in December.

4:02

I can still jump down and do my push ups.

4:05

I'm still running hills.

4:07

I'm not on medication.

4:09

- [Voiceover] Your life is (unintelligible)

4:10

- My life is (laughing)

4:12

my life is wonderful right now.

4:14

- You know I've never for one second

4:16

thought about becoming vegan,

4:18

but I'm actually legitimately considering it now.

4:21

Like, with how good the food is

4:22

and how good you look.

4:23

(laughing)

4:25

- If I could just say one thing,

4:26

if there are any kids out there

4:28

eating those spicy Cheetos,

4:30

maybe you shouldn't eat those things

4:32

and that's all I have to say

4:33

about spicy Cheetos.

4:34

I know we're not talking about spicy Cheetos.
