Kayla Abe is devoted to environmental causes surrounding sustainability, awareness, and implementation, and she's an informed and passionate speaker.

David and Kayla have taken to upcycling foods in their San Francisco mission district brick-and-mortar: Shuggie's Trash Pie + Natural Wine, as well as their other business, Ugly Pickle Co. They're here to discuss sustainability and upcycling in the restaurant industry, and we have a ton of fun in the process.
