279. Redefining Fast Food & Going Seed Oil Free at Sweetgreen with Nicolas Jammet #FabulousFriends

Nicolas Jammet is the co-founder and chief concept officer of Sweetgreen, the mission-driven restaurant brand that serves healthy food at scale. Nick and his co-founder started Sweetgreen in 2007, just three months after graduating from Georgetown. Their vision is to be as ubiquitous as traditional fast food – but far, far more transparent and honest. I'm really excited to welcome my friend Nick to the podcast today for one of our “founder” episodes. We talk about the founding story of Sweetgreen, the importance of food quality, sourcing, and transparency, how they’ve grown and evolved the brand since it began, why they decided to go seed oil free, how they’re influencing the way the next generation thinks about food, and how they hope to transform the world of fast food.We also cover:(00:01:18) The Story of Sweetgreen’s Mission To Redefine Fast Food(00:06:57) The Future of Sweetgreen: How They’re Evolving & Growing(00:12:11) All About Sourcing & Transparency: Setting a Quality Standard for Cooking Oils(00:20:17) Good for You Cravings: Shifting the Fast Food Paradigm(00:23:11) Transforming Next Generation’s Relationship to Food(00:32:54) Celebrating Protein Plates & Broadening the Sweetgreen MenuThis episode is brought to you by:BWBK Protein Powder | Get $10 off your order with PODCAST10 at bewellbykelly.com.AG1 | Get a FREE 1-year supply of Vitamin D3K2 AND 5 free AG1 Travel Packs with your first purchase at drinkAG1.com/bewell.LMNT | LMNT's new Chocolate Medley bundle is here for a limited time!
