How Chefs Can Help Save Life-saving Antibiotics
In this month's episode, co-hosts Dr. Lance Price and Matthew Wellington interview award-winning chef, cookbook author, activist, and media personality Mary Sue Milliken. She's best known for her modern Mexican concept, Border Grill restaurants, trucks, and catering, which she runs with her business partner Susan Feniger. Mary Sue Milliken was one of the first chefs to join the Supermoms Against Superbugs movement, an advocacy program run by ARAC's deputy director, Laura Rogers, when she was at the Pew Charitable Trusts. In the episode, Mary Sue shares why she is passionate about antibiotic resistance and how after serving as a Supermom transformed her restaurants to ensure the meat she procures are from animals raised with responsible antibiotic use.
